I read this as "YouTube will push even harder for non-skippable ads, and content creators can't stop them anymore"

"With the 'plenty of feedback' the company received following the leak, Sievert said that T-Mobile has learned that this 'particular test sell isn't something that our customers are going to love.'"

Who the fuck "loves" paying more for the same service? Why isn't that painfully obvious? How can I get a job making such braindead decisions for ridiculous amounts of money?

"I'm still friends with his brother, so it's impossible for me to completely block him out from my life unfortunately."

No, it is possible. If you happen to lose his brother as a friend then that's an unfortunate consequence.

Life's too short to have to deal with assholes like that. Not worth your limited time on this planet. Find new friends.

This is the reason my house has:

  • mechanical locks
  • mechanical windows
  • routers using OpenWRT
  • no smart home crap
  • no Alexa/Google Assistant/...
  • no internet connected thermostats

"10 1/4 Inches" - they knew what they were doing

I find that adding an "...anymore" adds a lot of baggage that'll make people drop it and accept your choices

Guess the UK better get used to seeing "We're sorry, [AppName] is no longer available on your country."

Why send it to the cloud when Excel is running on a perfectly capable hunk of silicon? That's doesn't make a lick of sense to me

Have you considered therapy?

Because the GBA never played Gameboy games, and the Wii never played GameCube games, and the Wii U never played Wii games, right?

If the people you watch only upload to YouTube, how would they be available on other services?

I use a headphone jack daily, it is a must for me. Not going to do a stupid Bluetooth adapter or dongle cable that can get lost or damaged

From people that don't use Reddit regularly, the only way they have ever heard about it is from Google results. So good luck with unloading a whole clip into your foot guys 🙄

Xbox One announcement (E3 2013): "YOU CAN TAKE MY DISKS FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!

Current Year (2023): "Disks are outdated and dead, who needs em anyway?"

Y'all forget way too easily and they are starting to prey upon it.

Why not plug each into a Kill-A-Watt and measure it at idle and under load?

I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked! Who could have seen this coming!?

How so? Servers aren't free. Either you pay in cash or you pay in ads.

"RDBMS-backed CRUD persistence patterns" sounds totally like fake techno-jargon in a low-budget action movie

Kingdoms and Castles would fit here. It's been getting slow but steady updates for years.

He's documenting his progress on YouTube, pretty interesting!

No, it likely is sending your UUID to a sever and comparing it to a list to see if it's a duplicate

I've never heard of Medium, so let me get this straight. You're giving them content AND paying them? That's like going to work and paying your boss.

If that's true and you're struggling to get food at the same time, there are some serious issues going on and you should reconsider what you spend your time and energy on

One big plus for Discord is that you can essentially lock it down to people who are interested in your project, instead of the entire public to browse. This hurts searching for answers, but helps immensely for projects that can be taken down like romhacks and speed running tools for example

Are you really trying to compare a text/link service with ~10k users to a HD video service with millions of users?

o/ is a wave, o7 is a salute of respect

I've never seen a drive-off "lift" layout like that, super interesting!

"they can just patch the game and crank out new features as dlc" does not have the same meaning as "buy a fucking DLC to apply a performance patch"

I was pretty on-board with FFXV until the exact moment I realized the boat portion was supposed to lead you to a LOT of cut content instead of literally 1 other area. Definitely left a bad taste after that. I feel like it could have been a masterpiece if not for issues during development that I can noticeably feel the effects of during gameplay

Delete all accounts and start from fresh on a regular and frequent basis. Use VPNs and also change them just as frequently.

Or don't care about it and just try to be uninteresting to market to, it's a lot easier

When you close your eyes and they don't open again

...there's ads on Lemmy?

This lack of context awareness is exactly why I don't even bother with current gen assistants

That poor squirrel didn't stand a chance

Just picked up the HD remake and was thrilled to see someone made a mod to patch out the film grain and motion blur. I'm puking rainbows.

The whole reason RaPi got so big was its price point, because it offered so much capability that was essentially disposable in case the worst happened to your project. As long as it costs more than $35 I will not be interested.

Do computers catch fire?

Cars are built in modules, so there is definitely something you could disconnect to prevent it phoning home. You might need to take the dashboard apart though.

There is nothing preventing the car from starting and running without it. As long as you have a key fob it will attempt to start.
