  This is why I use Start11

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, am I happy that I stopped using my Roku and switched to an Nvidia Shield TV. I’m also happy that I have a “dumb TV”!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using StartAllBack? No Windows updates for you, says Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried the Official Windows 11 start menu. I had disabled showing “recommended apps” I’m the settings. This hid the icons, but not the section. So, whenever I opened the start menu, the entire bottom half was a section that said “enable recommended apps to show them here.”

  That’s when I installed Start11 (I also bought StartAllBack, but I preferred Start11) and never looked back.

  I pick Firefox, what does that get me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Other than Good Omens, and Grand Tour I guess, what’s even on Prime Video that’s not elsewhere?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube can't stop showing me AI deepfake ads⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re assuming they care about the content of the ads. If they’re getting paid, they run the ad, that’s it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube can't stop showing me AI deepfake ads⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This doesn’t work for most streaming services. The ads and the actual video come from the same server. I know this is the case on Hulu (probably YouTube, too).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads is officially starting to test ActivityPub integration⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly forgot Threads even existed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wi-Fi 7 to get the final seal of approval early next year, new standard is up to 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just upgraded to a WiFi 6E router. Both my phone and my laptop support 6E.

  Speeds are great, until you leave the living room (where the router is). Go up to my bedroom, and 6E won’t even connect. So it’s fast, but 6Hz has trouble going through walls.

  Most of the other devices in the house are in 5GHz and that’s still super fast and able to reach basically everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google announces April 2024 shutdown date for Google Podcasts⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another vote for Podcast Addict. It works with Android Auto in my car :⁠-⁠)

  Now to listen to all these shows I have downloaded…

  Or Group Policy Editor?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PEACHES COME FROM A CAN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Gump sat alone on a bench in the park

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is promoting Threads posts on Facebook and there’s no way to opt out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but most people have actually heard of Facebook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is promoting Threads posts on Facebook and there’s no way to opt out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Threads still exists? People still use Threads?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One million years from now...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You should mention that the first panel says “One million years from now.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you know, you know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Kindergarten in Steven Universe is a reference to Junji Ito.

  Steven Universe is just what is more fresh in my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you know, you know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of Steven Universe first.
