- Comment on Jesse is smarter than what we give him credit for. 11 months ago:
Sure you can, just not by months, you would need to use weeks instead to retain integer values. A half year would be 26 weeks and a quarter year would just be 13 weeks. Of course this fails if you wish to divide further, but at that point you could just say 2 months and people would know for certain you are saying 8 weeks.
- Comment on Jesse is smarter than what we give him credit for. 11 months ago:
Yeah, but that only matters for months. We could instead just use weeks since there are 52 weeks per year, so a quarter would be 13 weeks instead of 3 months. It would be easier to determine how many weeks there are in a span of a couple months because it’s not variable, or any number of months because they’re just multiples of 4. I know a lot of people would be turned off by the system because the number 13 comes up so often and people are superstitious but it really would make things easier imo.
- Comment on apple users in a nutshell 1 year ago:
I just did and I have no idea what you’re talking about. All I see are my pinned apps and recently used files.
- Comment on apple users in a nutshell 1 year ago:
Except I’ve experienced the exact opposite. The iPhone users are the ones who complain about android users messing up their iMessage chats while simultaneously being too fucking stupid to realize it’s Apple who is screwing them.
- Comment on 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests 1 year ago:
At least 4GB, my previous employer was a young guy that was an Apple simp. He bought a bunch of Mac minis as desktop computers and they only had 4GB of RAM. They were the most garbage piece of shit computer I have ever had the displeasure of being forced to use. It really wasn’t even usable, it would lock up just trying to open any web browser or even the file explorer (or whatever Apple calls it). It really amazes me how Apple continues to shit in their customers mouths, tell them it’s chocolate ice cream and they believe them
- Comment on Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM 1 year ago:
Wdym not feasible? I’m currently doing it on a non rooted android device using Mullvad VPN. Not sure what the telco has to do with ads but you can remove all of that bloatware using adb anyways.
- Comment on Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM 1 year ago:
Ads can actually be blocked in apps if you use a VPN that has the ability. Though not all apps will function with a VPN enabled
- Comment on Don't forget to tip your gas station 1 year ago:
And they charge you for that, it’s why your gas is more expensive than other states.
- Comment on Here comes another Netflix price hike 1 year ago:
Because my parents pay for it and it still works in my and my brother’s houses despite the no password sharing thing. We are still frequently using it in 5 different households and Netflix has yet to tell us we’re being charged extra for doing so.
- Comment on Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple 1 year ago:
Just curious, is there a specific reason you keep data and wifi off unless you’re using them?
- Comment on Thousands of Android TV devices come with unkillable backdoor preinstalled 1 year ago:
Wow, I would immediately return any TV that pulled that bs. I have used Sony TV’s for a very long time and have never encountered this issue, I even bought a new one in summer 2022 and it did not require Internet connection to function.
- Comment on YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it 1 year ago:
I think they’re just implying that even if YouTube figures out how to block adblock, someone will just find a way to block the adblock block and so on ad infinitum. It will just be the same game of cat and mouse we’ve been playing for years with the intrusive ad business.
- Comment on Thousands of Android TV devices come with unkillable backdoor preinstalled 1 year ago:
Or you could just use a new tv with smart features and never connect it to your network. It’s what I’ve done with all the TVs in my house and I simple use an external device I trust to stream.
- Comment on Thousands of Android TV devices come with unkillable backdoor preinstalled 1 year ago:
Not really but you can always get a “smart” tv and never connect it to the Internet. If you want to stream just use an external device you trust like a PC
- Comment on Nearly 500 smartphone brands have left the market since 2017 1 year ago:
LG ending their mobile division really sucked, the V series phones were some of the best phones ever imo. I really miss my V30, the quad DAC was awesome and the camera was actually pretty amazing too. They also weren’t bloated with unremovable shit like flagships are nowadays.
- Comment on Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series & Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee 1 year ago:
So I’m really confused about the whole Netflix thing. It hasn’t asked me to set a household location and the whole no password sharing thing was supposed to have taken effect back in May, right? Since May, my family has continued to use Netflix as if nothing has changed and we said if they try to charge us extra, we will cancel. Our Netflix is regularly used at 4 different “households” and they have yet to charge a fee and have not automatically set a household like they claimed they would.
- Comment on The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke 1 year ago:
It’s a contraction of “you” and “all.” It was never a gendered phrase to start with.
