- Comment on Another of God's cruel tricks. 20 hours ago:
Don’t worry. You’ll get the rest of the little ones with your feet.
- Comment on Not the worst sales technique. 1 day ago:
Ain’t half bad.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 1 day ago:
In principle, yes, and I believe a few small hobby projects have attempted to do this. However, interest developing a custom Smart TV platform tends to get siphoned away into a project where the output is displayed on the TV simply because it’s easier to develop and maintain support across different model TVs.
Why would you develop a custom TV OS that runs on one TV when you could develop it for any mini PC and immediately support all TVs? You’d have to develop your OS to run on each specific TV model which will make it quite hard to reach a critical mass sufficient to attract attention from developers and users alike.
The juice isn’t really worth the squeeze. It’s not like TV vendors are publishing detailed hardware specs and drivers. Writing or even porting an OS is hard. Look at the state of the Android ROM scene, and that’s about as good as it gets when some vendors are actually attempting to open source their drivers. The difficulty is much higher and the interest lower due to the existence of a viable alternative.

Most of ours used to be white!

I want to get off the ride.

How does this compare to RCT?
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 1 week ago:
Well yes of course. If it was a different base, writing it that way if the symbol was even available would be a different number.
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 1 week ago:
…9999 is exactly equal to -1.
- Comment on Know DEEZ NUTS 1 week ago:
I wonder how many would trigger my nut allergy.
- Comment on Maybe the concept of nothing does not exist. Maybe the fabric of Spacetime is always there. 2 weeks ago:
Nothing doesn’t exist, by definition.
The concept definitely does. - Comment on Couscous is the glitter of foods. 2 weeks ago:
To be fair she spends shy of $1000 on a bag, but they hold up to abuse and seem to be nearly indestructible. I doubt she’ll need more than one or two further in this lifetime.
- Comment on Couscous is the glitter of foods. 2 weeks ago:
My wife put one in her purse about 10 years ago. Since then, I’m sure we have removed five or six of these bars. It seems to be a permanent purse fixture, eternally at the bottom of the bag.
- Comment on My little buddy (pack of 12) 2 weeks ago:
My wife has these. You can also order helmets and clothes for them.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 weeks ago:
Very strange because the shoe fits. Most Linux users are masochists in some way. They actually enjoy understanding and configuring their software.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s the best at what it does. That problem space doesn’t have a lot of good options.
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 weeks ago:
Just try it and see how your new cyborg hand DRM prevents unauthorized body modifications.
- Comment on McDonald’s posts biggest decline in global sales in four years 2 weeks ago:
Too expensive for a shitty burger. There’s better options.
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 weeks ago:
In the future you’ll pay $900/mo to stare at a blank page.
- Comment on Sadam Hussein is everywhere 2 weeks ago:
79% complete.

19 MB/sec.Uh-huh.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s mainly marketing. Your phone is smaller, so it feels like it should have a smaller adapter to be more convenient. It takes less convincing for a large adapter when you’re already carrying around a laptop in a bag.
Part of it is also history. It used to be that you needed much higher power dissipation so your adapter needs to be physically larger for a laptop to shed that heat, but nowadays laptops are more efficient and phones draw more power than they used to. Still, the idea that a phone charger should be smaller still feels right to the consumer, and much effort has been expended to ensure that they are small.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 weeks ago:
Real shame it’s not sold in the States! And I would prefer a higher-end processor option but I understand the choice for support.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 weeks ago:
What happened to he is happening now to you.
- Comment on Google plans AI browser assistant "Jarvis" to automate web tasks. 2 weeks ago:
Thanks but no thanks. I wish to be in the driver’s seat. Not a passenger. The user. Not the used. I give you instructions. I make the decisions. You will follow.
- Comment on Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books 3 weeks ago:
They would love to ban libraries.
- Comment on Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books 3 weeks ago:
Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand.
Good grief. Some of these games have been on the Internet longer than I have been alive. They are 100-fucking-percent already available on ROM sites. You’re just shitting on people’s enjoyment for the sake of shitting.
- Comment on DEF CON 32 - Inside the FBl's Secret Encrypted Phone Company 'Anom' - Joseph Cox 3 weeks ago:
I think your link is broken. It was a great talk though!
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 3 weeks ago:
The things consumers most want are features they really don’t want to give us, like expandable storage, replaceable batteries, and other actual solvable problems where they stand to benefit.
Best I can do is AI.
- Comment on China's GNE develops lithium-sulfur battery with energy density of 700Wh/kg - Energy Storage 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the info. I’m not as familiar with the battery chemistry. The reason that I ask is because I’ve heard a lot of big claims from Chinese companies that ended up not panning out.
- Comment on China's GNE develops lithium-sulfur battery with energy density of 700Wh/kg - Energy Storage 3 weeks ago:
Any third party verification of these claims?
