- Comment on Google might replace the ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ button with AI Mode 5 hours ago:
It’s probably something to do with the user feeling like they have a choice or something, even if it’s a meaningless choice.

Lets hope they never get bought out by Nintendo or similar…
- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 3 days ago:
apparently the different variants of English don’t agree on what “captions” and “subtitles” are. <sigh in non-native>
Probably doesn’t help that the closed caption option usually appears in the subtitle menu in most software 😅
But yeah, I think what you’re referring to is normally called “closed captions”, but I can see how it would be shortened to just “captions” for convenience in some cases.

- Comment on Moar garlic 3 weeks ago:
Depends on how fresh the garlic is or something too, I find the locally grown stuff tastes a lot better than the imported, but it’s also way more expensive where I live 😔. Guess I need to try growing it myself.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but taking out Putin won’t help as much now.

Thinking about switching to jellyfin, does it support HDR codecs and hardware reencoding?

PCSX2: better resolution than PS2, has save states, and you can use reshade in some games to make them look better.

Alexa and Google home don’t have anywhere near the same capability for automations, they let you do simple things, but not reliably, and they also have more limited integrations, so less options when purchasing things.

In my use case I often don’t really need to change the humidity at all, I just want to cool down.

- Comment on Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar' 4 weeks ago:
Nah im pretty sure my pc cooling fans are a bit louder than my ps5 ones, and they’re not that high pitched.

I guess youd need some water purifier involved though, which would probably get rid of any efficiency benefits
- Comment on Is there a portable swamp cooler with a window hose like air conditioners have? 4 weeks ago:
Could mitigate the water costs by draining the AC condensation into the swamp cooler 😅
- Comment on Is there a portable swamp cooler with a window hose like air conditioners have? 4 weeks ago:
I wonder if using a swamp cooler at the same time as AC would increase the efficiency 🤔
- Comment on Uber wades into a fierce price war to stay competitive in India. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t see what would the value of even using uber be as a passenger in places with so many rickshaws, surely it’s easier to talk to the nearest rickshaw driver than to use your phone and then have to wait for a specific driver…
I guess it would be slightly easier to pay via an app than with cash?

That might be a valid point if he didn’t spend so much time playing…
- Comment on What is it about humans when society rewards individuals with the power of millions they want to use it to fuck up society? 5 weeks ago:
The people that tend to be the best at ammassing the most wealth tend to be the ones who care the least about others.
They destroy society because the wealth/power they are ammassing is being stolen from society at large.

It can be invisible after the repair, but it can also sometimes leave a slightly wobbly look or an outline if it’s not perfectly flush with the rest of the windscreen.
