60 frames per hour easy…
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 10 months ago:
Detroit: Become Human fits the bill perfectly! It’s a great game with some of the hardest choices you’ll ever make in a game period.

They should add login and subscription handling on their website as well like so many do, with 30% off on the subscription fee because there’d be no Google tax.
- Comment on There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works 11 months ago:
Damn I should have pushed harder when that incident with WhatsApp was all over the news. Only a few of my friends and a couple of family members switched.
- Comment on Amazon is now automatically playing fullscreen video ads on Fire TV 11 months ago:
No end to the greed of these corporations.
- Comment on YSK: Social media platforms attach trackers to the end of share URLs (which you can and should delete) 11 months ago:
Yeah that seems plausible.
- Comment on YSK: Social media platforms attach trackers to the end of share URLs (which you can and should delete) 11 months ago:
YouTube has also started attaching a Share ID (si) of sorts:
youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=rzmQCXsZkblahblah
The “si” part is the tracking URL of course.
Presumably, it has your user ID embedded in it so all your efforts to concele your identity by using anon IDs on Lemmy/Reddit/Twitter etc routing through VPNs Tor whatnot can be shattered with a single share of a YouTube video. Plus, they can track and associate users with each other based on who all opened your link.
- Comment on Netflix confirms it is increasing subscription prices, again, after adding 8.8 million customers 1 year ago:
Currently costs peanuts in India (have some good friends over there 🥸) and there’s no password sharing crackdown yet. Comes down to $2 per person on the highest plan. As long as this continues, I’ll stay subbed to Netflix.
- Comment on Whatsapp is going to run terribly... 1 year ago:
Thanks to EU, you’ll be able to contact these people on WhatsApp without using WhatsApp.

Missed opportunity (2)

- Comment on Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community? 1 year ago:
Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Horizon Zero Dawn would be my recommendations.
- Comment on A drunk person wandering outside will always find their way back but a drunk bird probably won't. 1 year ago:
As I said, it’s a meme on the mathematical concept of random/drunkard walk. It’s not “wrong” given certain assumptions. For 2D, as the number of steps taken by a drunk tend to infinity, the probability of reaching the origin tends to 1:
Real drunks don’t walk in pure 2D plane well of course they don’t, they don’t get infinite number of steps either. No need to take this so seriously. We all happily ignored the air resistance in physics class back in the day didn’t we? :)

It’s a “shower thought” lol, not a research paper. Take it as a meme on random walk, which is always explained in universities using the example of a drunk guy so much so that it’s also known as “drunkard’s walk”. Should’ve posted this in a science/physics meme community, my bad.
- Comment on HP printer USB port covered with warning sticker in hopes you won't use it | Boing Boing 1 year ago:
Never buying HP printers again, not after I got a Brother one last year. It works OOTB even with linux and there’s no such lockdown bullshit.

- Comment on Ubisoft reportedly deleting customer accounts with purchased games if they have been inactive for too long 1 year ago:
And then they wonder why they can’t compete with Steam and end up crawling back to Gabe for every game.
- Comment on Microsoft Possibly Teasing Elden Ring Coming to Xbox Game Pass 1 year ago:
Could be a good promotion for the upcoming DLC.
