I'm pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you're right, it's absolutely not screenshots. It's a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it's possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That's not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

I totally get what you're saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they're there to support the user experience that sync provides. They're also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

The nice thing is, there's choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of "The fastest RAM is 100 MHz".

DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad ...

Ah interesting. I too have instituted a flex time Friday.

So far my company hasn't seemed to notice

Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.

Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I'm guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something

You can have /r/technology and /r/tech and /r/technews etc...

It's a problem that resolves itself. One community or the other will "win".

And if not, whatever. On Reddit, my home city has two subreddits. The content between them is slightly different (different mod teams) and the comments on duplicate posts are different. I subscribed to both to see slightly different opinions and avoid echo chamber.

I've been counting calories for the last few months, and that was my big realization as well. I could have easily put down a single meal at a restaurant which is my entire (or more) daily intake now.

More than anything it's just awareness.

Yeah it's from adguard DNS.

Ads just show up semi frequently. Definitely visible but not obtrusive. Just keep scrolling.

You should still see the frequency with adguard. It's just a blank area where normally there'd be an ad.

Buying the individual albums is still an option. The benefit of renting through Spotify (or any similar service) is that it's dramatically cheaper than owning the same amount of music.

Completely agree. I had experiences in Alyx that were unique to any other game I've ever played. Things that are just not possible outside of VR.

I don't think so?

The frequency I see ads is very very low. And when they do it's just a single card

I very intentionally received only an associate's degree with the plan being to immediately get a job and start learning from there. It's worked great. Except that was 20 years ago and now many jobs "require" a bachelor's or otherwise have the nerve to say that 4 years of on the job experience is the same as 1 year of college.

In my experience, I've seen the same thing. The university time kick starts things. But university lessons are so different than real on the job work.

It would be interesting to see numbers from the Digg to Reddit migration. There was a lot of pushback initially. Reddit was "confusing" and "ugly". I used both for a while but didn't fully abandon Digg for at least a few months.

Lemmy on the other hand, Reddit made it very easy for me. I've been using Sync since at least 2014. Once it went dark I was full Lemmy.

I really am wondering if there's some sort of sorting issue, or even a self inflicted feedback loop.

If you keep Lemmy on "active", you end up with a bunch of 1, 2, even 3 day old content. This seems to be noticeably worse in the last few weeks.

However, if you use top 12, there's enough content to keep it fresh. Not a lot of comments, but that's alright

My biggest use case for the deck is to be able to keep playing the same games as I do on my main gaming PC when I go on vacation. This was really put to the test with Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked shockingly well.

That said... it's definitely not ideal, and it's generally relegated to similar games like you're talking about. Peglin, Celeste, etc

My wife got me a travel bidet for my birthday. We're on vacation and obviously it's along for the journey as well.

Be sure to use different servers! Experiencing server issues (with your server or choice) is a pretty sure sign to spread out and try somewhere else.

I paid for it when it was bundled with Google Play Music. It felt like a great value.

Too bad they abandoned GPM.

I typically play video games for an hour a night. This can be woefully inadequate for DoS as all I may accomplish is a single battle.

I ran a Synology setup that ultimately I replaced with Unraid. I love the flexibility that Unraid provides, but Synology's software really is top notch. I've pieced together various docker images with Unraid to make something comparable functionality wise, but no where near as integrated or seamless

Your situation is your own, but I was able to lease a phev for less than what I was paying for gas + maintenance on a car I had paid off. It may not be exactly what you want, but lease deals still come around occasionally.

Flat tax is nice in theory, but it's horribly regressive. 30% would be a nice reduction in taxes for anyone making $230k + or so, while a dramatic increase for anyone under 90k

$5.30 for a deluxe, $2.80 for fries.

Dick's and a taco truck in the same area ($2.50/taco) are my go to cheap but delicious lunch options.

Hey vsauce, Michael here

But what is squauce

At my office, you badge in to any of the side doors, but can walk right through the front door.

So it's the same problem, but the opposite. Go to the office, don't badge in, be productive all day. Badging in is not productivity.

I'm lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.

During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I'll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.

I've played somewhere around 1500 hours across multiple systems. There's really nothing else quite like it.

The inconsistency in battery life with the 7 is still so weird to me. I have a non-pro, and have been getting 2 day battery life with light usage on wifi since day one. Even with heavy usage while traveling, it's very difficult to need to charge during the day.

That's in no way to discount your experience. Lots of people have said similar.

Ah. I had noticed that lemmy.world's all seemed different than lemm.ee's, which in turn was also different than kbin. That's good to know

Unfortunately yeah :(

There's an export type functionally to make it easier but the server needs to be functional in the first place.

More viable for new users who don't have an account yet or very few subscriptions.
