- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 2 weeks ago:
It’s mostly because all the streaming services won’t give you higher res and HDR unless you’re using one of the boxes. You don’t need the slop tho. Nvidia shield imo has been solid for over a decade now. I’m over fire TV and those cheap shitty no name boxes are even worse. I have no idea why people fuck with those. Even a fire TV is better than that lol.

Yeah most of the time I don’t give a fuck about 4k. It’s HDR I’m after.

I don’t know why more people don’t do this. Don’t connect the TV to the Internet. Ever. Do updates using a flash drive if you must and connect whatever flavor streaming box you like. The TVs and their dumb os get slow and shitty anyway so why fuck around with it? Lol.

Our Democrat governor signed it. Why she signed this I still don’t really understand. She’s been using her veto power quite a bit and yet this one gets to go through. Ridiculous.

Prime Day and other sales push those prices down pretty regularly to the point I think most people are like “ah fuck it why not” and just grab one

Kindles are cheap. That’s pretty much it. I don’t think it’s a great mystery. Amazon subsidizes their hardware to get you into their ecosystem even more.
- Comment on ChatGPT Is Still a Bullshit Machine 6 months ago:
Yessir I’ve basically run into all of that. It’s fucking infuriating. It really is like talking to a toddler at times. There seems to be a limit to the complexity of what it can process before it just starts messing everything up. Like once you hit its limit, it will not process the entire thing no matter how many times you fix it together like your example. You fix one problem and then it just forgets a different piece. FFFFFFFFFF.

Dude forgetting stuff has to be one the most frustrating parts of the entire process . Like forgetting a column in a database or just an entire piece of a function you just pasted in… Or trying to change things you never asked it to touch. So freaking annoying. I had standing instructions in it’s memory to not leave out pieces or modify things I didn’t ask for and will put that stuff in the prompt and it just does not care lol.
I’ve used it a lot for coding because I’m not a real programmer (more a code hacker) and need to get things done for a website, but I know just enough to know it’s really stupid sometimes lol.

Business Insider so basically yes. I’ve never seen a “news outlet” blow business people as hard as them so I guess the name fits.
- Comment on PSA on privuhcy 6 months ago:
Most systems these days do rewrites (like Apache mod_rewrite) to keep the query parameters out of the URL. Even for pagination. It’s not necessarily on by default though because they don’t know what environment you’re in so you need to do things to enable it (like copy a .htaccess file and enable it in settings).
- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 9 months ago:
Big difference here is that Windows doesn’t REQUIRE developers to use the windows store or still pay them money if they use other methods of payment. Anyone can download an installer and install software without the Windows store and Microsoft doesn’t make developers pay them still to do that.
Now if they could get away with it they absolutely would like on Xbox. That’s why Valve put so much effort into Linux.
