  Opt out is such a shitty practice. Especially for AI generation

  So LG and Samsung likely have tons of illegal (copyright) content on their servers then? Ownership is 9/10ths of the law so they say. That’s gotta be exabytes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comedy shows have laugh tracks cuz they aren't that funny⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is an instant skip for me. Same with the vertical split with just pointing at the video and adding nothing of substance while shrinking the video

  They had better bring up that Secure Boot f up too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I meant terms & conditions, fixed. If I buy a product that does not have an activation fee in the t&c at time of purchase, legally I probably shouldn’t have to pay it even if they implement it later and I waited to activate. That would maybe still require you to sign up even if you aren’t paying to get the t&c then though. It could be argued that since the fee was not in place at time of purchase it shouldn’t apply and that is what I meant by ‘sticky’ is all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My thoughts exactly. This seems like a short term play to boost the stock price, let execs get out of the market, then sell off the company before it goes under.

  Also how are they gonna prove you didn’t buy it before the announcement and just didn’t register/use it until after? Seems to me that’s gonna be sticky in the eyes of copyright

  Yeah I’m getting an RMA. This solution gave me stability in the mean time though. I still have to pay shipping/handling though

  Get one with a swiping feature (not sure if yours has it already). They are way more accurate with autocorrect. I think I used SwiftKey when I was on Android

  Watch the temp. >90C is too high

  “In the case, which began in January, the plaintiffs are arguing that HP issued a firmware update between late 2022 and early 2023 that they allege disabled their printers if they installed a replacement cartridge that was not HP-branded.”

  Can we get a 2d printer that isn’t exploitative? I print on paper with a sharpie on my Ender because of bs like this

  Looks like it is just for Dave the Diver. I wish they would have added it for Dredge too somehow but I was pretty happy with their recent DLC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. I tried doing this with Hulu’s self-serving ads and I blocked enough domains that it just quit working

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here comes another Netflix price hike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be awesome if I could get invites! I just set up a headless Ubuntu Server that will always be on and I can set up my seed ratio to infinite.

  I’m rocking ProtonVPN pro with fiber so I have 1000Mbps up/down without vpn. Not exactly sure what the max up with that is.

  As for proof I don’t have much. My only current one is 49gb downloaded v 53gb up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here comes another Netflix price hike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like IPT and TL are invite only or you can pay money… Is that how you got in or did you get an invite? Seems kinda sketchy sending them money for a seedbox I’ll never use. AT is inv only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here comes another Netflix price hike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Awesome thanks!!!

  Those look awesome but how does the checkout process work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopping carts should have slots on the side for reusable bags. They always seem to sink to the bottom of the cart⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Great idea! That would be really easy to bring with. I’m gonna design one as well though I’d love to see yours too!

  Did you know I print or just suggest it? Jc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopping carts should have slots on the side for reusable bags. They always seem to sink to the bottom of the cart⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya they made them plastic bag width but also the length of the plate. So annoying

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopping carts should have slots on the side for reusable bags. They always seem to sink to the bottom of the cart⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No that would be nice! Plus it could easily be bolted on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are vegetarians allowed to eat their own bogeys?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose one can’t be 100% vegan without completely going off grid and producing everything themselves. Modern vegetable farming techniques result in a large insect loss. My used car has leather seats. I can’t afford to buy a new one without them. Medicines these days say if they are vegan or not.

  There is a large difference between causing rape/child theft/murder (dairy) murder (meat) and accidental insect killings though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are vegetarians allowed to eat their own bogeys?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Send the brigade

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are vegetarians allowed to eat their own bogeys?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe the answer is yes. Most vegans are vegans because they don’t want to exploit or harm any other creature. Picking your own nose implies that you consent to that activity and are not being exploited

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google rolls out anti-stalking measures for AirTag and other Bluetooth trackers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There should be a way to register it to property somehow. Might not be feasible for bikes and such but cars generally have Bluetooth or some sort of connection

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google rolls out anti-stalking measures for AirTag and other Bluetooth trackers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you keep an AirTag in your car, would it alert a thief that they were being tracked if they stole your car?
