  XBox Series X or was it XBox Series One X?

  I have no idea … some crazy naming they have going on there.

  I think the numbering thing was stupid but I think that can go to how stupid consumers are though. Consumers can be dumb enough to think that it’s inferior due to a lower number.

  They want to be left alone to commit heinous acts of murder and torture. Is it so hard to understand? /s

  what’s sad is that I don’t think as many musicians even benefit as much from this as well … just the companies …

  How uninspiring are these “features” like charging for heated seats and using a “frunk” it really is pathetic.

  Most people have the weird “she is a porn actress so she had it coming” thing, i just think that violence is never okay, no matter who the victim is.

  Jeez, like everyone watches porn … they really feel like they’re not human don’t they? people can be terrible

  Our DR process is a slow POS … takes far too long to back up and redeploy and set up again.

  I was the one that designed it. I pray I’ll never have to use it.

  I use iFixit’s guides all the time, so I would hope that their score isn’t affected by it. I’ve seen them as being fairly good at their role.

  Yes, I sound “barbaric” and we’re a society of laws and all that, but it seems we’re obviously not. This information was just sat on, fucking disgusting people.

  damn, and I thought I was original …

  I was even wondering if 2025 counts as one word for a while

  It “can” be … it’s just what people are more familiar with sometimes and new terms that seem native like: “control panel” “command prompt” “regedit” can be strange to people that haven’t. It’s not that they can’t learn it, it’s just a bit of an uphill battle.

  Hell, Bazzite confused me for a bit because I didn’t know wtf an immutable distro was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I cancelled my subscription last year and I thought I’d missed out because it was on Amazon. When I searched other sites I actually saved money in a few cases. Also, turns out I buy less now as well which is an overall win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No excuses now

  I believe this.

  At the same time, they’ll get what’s coming to them. They bought a shitty cybertruck that will break down and has shitty resell value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get why people like Valve so much (I like some of their services too) but there’s too much deification. It’s like “oh mighty Gabe!”. I get some of it was tongue-in-cheek a bit initially but it seems so many people take it seriously.

  They’re a company that provides some services I like but the gambling shit is bad especially when you see people on YT talking about how they were lured in when they young and how much money was lost and how many streamers were running scam companies. It’s not good.

  If you read the comments, they’re less conspiratorial than it seems you’re lead to believe. Many have tested this out and others have said it seems like it depends on the autobot.

  Boy am I upset lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrome extensions spying on 37M users' browsing data⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing I’ve heard about Google is that there isn’t as high of a career path for people that want to maintain software and keep it running well. If you can create a new app or service and it gets X downloads then you can ask for more money and a lot of SWEs will game that. So, far better to add to the graveyard than anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2 North American 4 you has been created⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I recommend watching this video from Jennifer Lee: youtu.be/U6MhV5Rn63M

  It talks about the history of Chinese food in America it’s great. Echoes some of the flavours you’ve experienced with some fun context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure your specific instance is justified and in doing so, you don’t need a random internet stranger like myself to tell you it’s okay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of these people are likely tech folks. A lot of tech folks get high paying jobs. They used that pay to buy property.

  A lot of these guys are landlords and are trying to convince people that the rent they charge is fair, market rate, and a favour because they’re taking on “risk” while you pay for their mortgage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like my frame because it faces a set of windows and with all my other tvs … I would have to close the blinds to see the tv in the day time.

  However, the software is straight garbage. I didn’t even know about the favourite thing … every time I change source it would spend like a minute or two trying to figure out if it could connect to it for no reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The same songs and sound effects to some stupid reaction video.

  Dear God. My friend sent me a video about some Japanese person with some cooking method or something that he recommended I should make try. The video he sent me was annoying as fuck. It was a couple screaming at each other: “OMG IS THAT THE NEW JAPANESE ____ METHOD?” “YES I THINK I’VE HEARD OF THAT” interspersed with the actual narration-free video. Had to stop it after 4-6 seconds.

  I asked my friend how he could even stand watching it the video and he said his brain filters it out. I don’t know why it just repulsed me so much.

  There’s also many videos with some person just playing another’s person’s video and they just point a finger upward to the actual playing video with some useless look on their face and the nodding.

  I think this is the nature of these TikTok videos but I’m not really on TikTok much, I just get them sent to me every once in a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lobster feast ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a friend that’s Hindu and he told me his “friends” put ground beef into the lamb mince as a “prank”. He didn’t easily forgive them either. I don’t think that’s on this level, but I feel as though you should be able to feel out your friends enough to pull a prank. If you can’t really tell, then you shouldn’t mess with them.

  That being said, six years is a REALLY long time 🤣
