Googling so many “how do I do X?” type of questions have top-results of 10-minute videos where someone has their cluttered Desktop in full 1920x1080 and then they open the tiny command prompt in a small window (it’s clear they have no idea how to record a video), where they clumsily type commands they clearly don’t understand, and fumble through the entire process.

I just needed a single command. It should have been a 1-second result at the top of search, not shitty videos or SEO dynamically-generated shit site that are trying to sell me something.

They usually cover/conceal nipples, so you don’t see everything.

In the list of “games”, the top item is the “Just Talking” or whatever the category is called. Click that and try various sorting.

I never knew that pirating kids was such a problem.

I installed Firefox (Android version) on a Chromebook to see if I could keep 2 browsers with separate profiles and setups.

The Firefox browser on a Laptop computer looked awful. A narrow phone UI, but stretched really, really wide. It made no attempt at utilizing a wide tablet layout.

The old Pfizer doses would shut me down for 3 days.

Fever, chills, body aches, fatigue.

The first shot wasn’t so bad. The second and third were insane.

I’m pretty sure I’ve had a fourth shot, but I don’t remember how I felt. I think I got covid last year, after already having the third shot, and I’ve been dealing with symptoms for over a year now (mostly muscle fatigue).

I want the new shot with the new variant mix, but I’m also afraid of how I’m going to react to it. I have too much going on at work and home right now to take half a week off for the shot.

I have a pretty crummy immune system and have always dealt with autoimmune issues, so it’s important that I get the shot, even if I react badly to it. :/

They were willing to fuck over some people and drive them completely out of business.

Which people? Developers. The very people that helped make Unity what it is. Unity wanted to completely crush their own developers. Some estimates put Unity’s fees higher than 100% revenue in some scenarios.

Them back-tracking and saying “wow! we didn’t expect this to be so hated!” shows that they either don’t understand numbers (they do) or that they think their users are idiots.

So why would developers want to come back to them?

Moto?

Motorola lost my business when they sold me a phone and then provided a grand total of ONE OS upgrade its entire life (Moto G LTE, shipped with an outdated 4.4 build, and then got a single update to 5.1 before being abandoned forever).

There is no potential for brand loyalty when the brand themselves tell their own customers to fuck off.

I have a 14 Pro, and the changes in the 15 Pro are tempting to me.

I want USB-C, I want the lighter titanium, I want the rounded edges, I want the new camera effects, I want to try the new case options, etc.

Anyone coming from an older phone would find a LOT to look forward to in the iPhone 15 or 15 Pro.

It sounds like your life is pretty sweet in order to be underwhelmed by a magic $800-$1000 device.

With GPUs you can do things like dump its BIOS, alter the identification string, and then re-flash the card.

I’ve modified a lot of GPU BIOSes to tweak GPU and memory clock timings or enable Mac support.

CPUs aren’t that easy to modify. I am not aware of any consumer tools that can simply re-write CPU’s internal code.

Regardless, the first time you run a benchmark and it shows that your CPU is really X and not Y, you will know something is wrong.

I’m on Lemmy.world.

Piracy talk is a big no-no, but I do get to see the continuous creation of never-ending pornographic hentai & furry shit or whatever. The drawings look like sexualized cartoons made for children and the furry stuff just looks like people drawing out their sick sexual fantasies of animals. Totally normal for the communities that are into that stuff. Don’t kink shame!

My blocked community list is several pages long now. I really hate that I have to fucking VISIT a community before I can click something to block it. I wish I could tap-and-hold on a post and be able to block the community it was posted in or block their whole fucking disgusting server.

But I can’t.

Because that’s the beauty of Lemmy and federation.

I’m guessing lemm.ee admins take a stronger stance against sick shit.

Edit: a lot of the posts I see are from communities on the “yiffit.net” server. I have no idea how to block the entire thing. I’ll block one community from there and then posts from another will show up.

Edit2: just saw a “kurumi_nsfw” post that looked like a drawing of a naked little girl and an “animefeet” post a little below where I saw this thread, so it’s definitely showing up for people.

If you’re building systems, I would assume you’re the kind of person that knows how they work.

• The system tells you what CPU it has on boot.

• The BIOS tells you what CPU you have.

• MemTest86 would have told you what CPU you had when you tested it after assembling your system.

• Windows tells you what you have in Settings > About and Task Manager.

• Apps like CPU-Z have been downloaded a billion times and tell you what CPU you have.

• Geekbench would have told you what CPU you have and how it performs.

The article mentions someone paying a bunch for a specific CPU back in April, but then never bothered actually checking it until recently… What the CPU had written on it is meaningless. I couldn’t even tell you what my current CPU looked like before I installed it. It could have said Pentium 2 or 486SX or Core i-13. What mattered was that it physically fit, the system booted, and my software said “yup, this is what you paid for.”

“Push to start” may stop someone driving off in the car, but they are still targets.

Thieves smash the windows, hop in, see the lack of key startup, then hop out. You still will end making a call to the police or insurance company.

Having “Hyundai” or “Kia” anywhere on the car makes them a target of thieves, even with push to start.

This is unfortunately an accurate description of that movie.

Think of something like Airplane! or Ghostbusters. There are so many memorable and/or silly parts and lines that people remember well and will repeat over and over. But of course, each also has a real movie to go along with it.

All the clips and lines and other zany parts of Kung Pow can be hilarious, but the movie itself is pretty bad.

Now I wish to see a series of comics like this, each with various characters.

I need a mod for my phone my that just makes every icon a picture of some character with their mouth wide open, yelling.

(refer to this reddit post for what I mean)

Calculator? Someone yelling.

Settings? Someone yelling.

Camera app? Believe it or not, someone yelling.
