  I was more wanting to point out that it is reasonable that the article wouldn’t go into extreme depth

  Oh right it’s being owned to a Saudi company

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the problem with this stuff is that the corporations using it are very hush-hush about what exactly they use it for. The privacy policy just lists what they may collect (everything) and what they may use it for (anything).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I know. That’s what I just said.

  the 90% figure is for games on Steam

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No.

  90% of Windows games on steam.

  The real number is way higher. Stuff made in the 00s probably runs better under wine than on windows 10 o or 11 but was usually distributed outside Steam.

  That’s way too many initialisms to make sense

  On Steam****

  This is lying with statistics. It’s 0% market share [for certain GPUs] because they’re illegal to export to China. So the numbers don’t show all the ones “smuggled” there.

  GamersNexus made a great video about this

  Blocking people from leaving your country should be treated like a war crime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've been starring at this picture for an hour and still can't figure out what the thing with 3 dots is on the right⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks to be an earlier version of the new Android Material 3 volume bar. The three dots brings up a UI to let the user change the mix of all the channels (music, alarms, ring, etc.). My current updated AOSP phone shows the three dots outside the bar that shows the current volume. This one shows it inside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Guys, you don’t have to downvote someone because they have an experience that happens to be many standard deviations away from the mean. This is what consoles are for. Nintendo still shines for people like this :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  $400 plus a subscription for the privilege of playing online + some amount of money for a computer anyway

  Oops read it slightly wrong :!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Teams can record office presence from December⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
  1. No way it’s accurate to a single room
  2. This would have to be set up by the company. There’s no way to automatically detect room from a specific AP or whatever.

  OK

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Imperial units are fine. They have rational conversion ratios between them and standard metric. I was in bed at the time and miles is what I got from search results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck. Thanks for noticing it has been fixed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/oceanwater.html

  So there’s 332,519,000 cubic miles of water on the planet approxomately

  The earth has a radius of 3,950 miles

  That leaves a surface area of 4 * pi * r^3^ = 774,463,850,166 square miles.

  332 miles^3^ / 774 miles^2 = 0.429 miles. I know I’m supposed to do 3D calculus but I don’t want to do that right now.

  Whatever that top number may be, it’s very readable I just don’t wanna right now.
