  I had to learn how to use a Fax when working in Japan. Yeah faxing is still a thing there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What DID Apple innovate?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is only nice if you also have an iPhone otherwise its basically useless expensive garbage.

  Better look at Huawei, Zepp and Garmin if you want cheaper but equally good garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An modern style illustrator vector program. It’s a lot like Adobe Illustrator but with an easier to understand UI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google calls Drive data loss “fixed,” locks forum threads saying otherwise⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually it does. I have a nasPi running openmediavault with portforward and i can get access it anywhere in the world. Japan, usa, eu it doesn’t matter as long as there is internet.

  Don’t wanna fiddle with the tech stuff. Get a Synology and make your life easier. Best thing is you can upgrade it yourself. No longer bound by 200gb or 1tb but all the way to 10tb and more! With redundancy as well. No this not an ad for Synology but damn does it work good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And a software design 15 years old. None of the added stuff like notification drawer is by Apple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord users are cancelling their Nitro after new mobile layout update⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or the board of rich assholes who do nothing for the company but hold up their hands every quarter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open extensions on Firefox for Android will be available from December 14⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit that’s huge. They already had extensions but very limited compared to the PC version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A guide to a longer lasting Smartphone.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or get an 100-150 euro smartphone and replace when it starts lacking. There is almost no need to buy a 1000,- phone when it will fail in the same time as a 100 one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A good deal of IT work, too⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That explains why it was so slow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not the magic that all people think it is. They even warn you that the facts might not be true facts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nepal decides to ban TikTok⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What a typical response. You asked for proof and I give you proof that the privacy laws are not followed on TikTok. Yet you just bounce it back without giving some proof back like I asked.

  I’m definitely not putting more energy into your “show me proof”. It’s not worth it, because you’re just going to say that it’s not proof and I need to do better. Fuck that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nepal decides to ban TikTok⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you want? An article techcrunch.com/…/tiktok-privacy-policy-update-chi…

  Or an actual research scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=nl&as_sdt=0%2C5…

  What ever you want, cricket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you live in the EU - you may also be faced with this Meta prompt. Info in text.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. That look that says:“I don’t care, I dont want to know, I just want to use Facebook”. They have no idea what’s collected and used without their knowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse even. They only look to screen size and how many lenses the phone has. That is enough for them to order the phone without even knowing what is better inside. They don’t care as their point is:" if apple made it then it must be faster and I don’t care or know how much faster".

  I am from a family where everyone uses apple and they are all tech illiterate. I’m the only one with an android as I want my device to be customisable to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Often the cheaper models from a company will have a headphone jack. Sadly the moment you go for a higher model they expect you to use wireless headphones ( cause you got money anyway right…right).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And the time we have to put in that effort. Seeing those messages want me to block them even more and if they block me, then it’s a challenge to unblock it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Aristocrats!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  EN translation: “Fucking gross, man”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unredacted FTC suit shows 'Project Nessie' price-raising algorithm made Amazon $1.4B⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course. And without mention or mailing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can definitely recommend maps.me it’s a great app with default offline maps. It was a great tool when traveling abroad without internet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not even tipping anymore. This is paying to get normal service, not better service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tyler⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Man that’s going to be one hell of a revelation when they grow up and see old pictures of themselves with that haircut.

  Cancel all those subs man. They are eating your money without return. It’s better to download the specific show you want to watch.

  We had it, then the corporate greed came in. But hey Netflix subscribers have risen again…fun…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung and Other Manufacturers Disable Phones Bought on Gray Markets: A Consumer Nightmare⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean that should’ve been obvious after the battery explosion and battery swelling problems at Samsung. They don’t care as long as it’s cheap. Their bloat was also one of the worst, same for the build quality of the medium phones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Time to make the yearly offline copy of the English Wikipedia. It’s always handy to have an offline version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨youtube getting more agressive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched all the ads when they started. I installed an adblocker when the ads became more of a nuisance than a short break. It is always a service problem always.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨youtube getting more agressive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In other words, the general population likes to be used by companies and really don’t give a shit as long as they can watch videos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue-Checked, ‘Verified’ Users on X Produce 74 Percent of the Platform’s Most Viral False or Unsubstantiated Claims Relating to the Israel-Hamas War⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The moment it became paid to be official was the moment spammers and worse thought they would become recognised as trustworthy. Nowadays if it’s blue dont believe anything they say.

  So a large amount of dipshits who’re are stupid or vicious enough to pay for blue, digital checkmarks are largely posting false content that is believed by other dipshits who get their knowledge just by a degenerated social media platform like twitter?

  Call me surprised… /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Mirror creator unafraid of AI because it’s “boring”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the ai though. With ccpKobolt you can make memories for the ai to come back with. Even text personalities (like bitchy and sassy responses).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X accused of illegally firing employee who criticized Elon’s return-to-work plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘%X%’ should remove any X with spaces around it right?
