  They might be past their best by date…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the name of this type of image⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah heat map seems to be the most generic term for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I find that when I’m looking for very specific things Google is still king but DDG is much better for broad strokes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series & Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I really do love the format. Everyone slept on it and its like 4k streaming no-hiccups essentially.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series & Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I might just go back to blu-ray at this point. HBO still has my money because they generally seem to give a shit about quality at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan TV network will acquire Totoro creator Studio Ghibli as animation studio prepares for future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  StableDiff is really good at making Ghibli images, or at least reference points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "Burn Notice" worth watching?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey it’s better than the whiskey habit I picked up from Mad Men haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IGN | Rotten Tomatoes Under Fire After PR Firm's Scheme to Pay Critics for Positive Reviews Uncovered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly if they are close enough and the critic knows enough about themselves to understand why people like things they don’t they can be very worthwhile.

  Some critics notably just don’t like action movies. An action movie B for them is probably a solid A for most.

  Also for as much hate as it gets, places like Pitchfork where critics actually speak their mind are important.

  I’m thinking the world just needs more one-off prolific critics that really give you how they feel about things. It’s funny that IGN is talking here, as they are very well known for being paid off and using the 70-100 rating scale to to piss anyone off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Flights will now tell you when it's the cheapest time to book | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll be like when everyone started using Google maps and now they just drive 40 mph through the neighborhoods instead of waiting an extra minute on a major road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SanDisk Extreme SSDs are “worthless,” multiple lawsuits against WD say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a few different drives that I mirror my documents folder to, then upload the most important stuff to cloud too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SanDisk's Name is Now Mud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For memory Samsung all day. Micro/SD cards etc the big camera manufacturers source solid stuff.

  If you’re talking about readers I don’t think anyone does anything particularly well. Anker might be my preferred brand though. Lots of companies rip them off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Channel Linus Tech Tips’ Inaccuracies And Sexual Harassment Allegations, Explained⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude probably didn’t want a Forbes headline at all. I don’t think his personality holds up well to basic scrutiny for the public at large. If my dad asks me about him he’s already lost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Webb's data confirms Maisie's Galaxy as oldest ever observed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I'd love to see some sort of local star universe map that shows what everything is looking at!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT In Trouble: OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2024, AI bot costs company $700,000 every day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t “know” anything. It can’t solve that problem. It’s trained on humans so it’s limited to what we have written down.

  I love ChatGPT but if it’s creative it’s because you asked it the right questions and found an oblique answer yourself.
