Anything made before ~2015. You have a lot of great cars to choose from.

Furthermore: Slashdot still exists? And it still has an active community in the comments!?

Lemmy alone hasn’t been enough to replace reddit for me; I should see if I still remember my old password…

I thought this article was going to be about the microphone that comes included with aftermarket radios. I had no idea that dedicated cigarette lighter mics were a thing. No wonder why they’re shutting it down. Between the mic(s) on your phone and the mic that came with your stereo, it’s a twice redundant product. Why did it even exist to begin with? Who is this for? Someone who doesn’t own an aftermarket radio or a car made in the past decade, who also doesn’t have a phone but somehow has access to Android Auto? What were they thinking? Why would anyone buy this?

What I’ve learned from this whole fiasco after owning a problem-free 4090 for over 2 years:

1. Don’t use 3rd party connectors, and don’t use the squid adapter in the box. Use the 12VHPR cable that came with your PSU or GPU. If your PSU doesn’t have a 12VHPR connection, get one that does.
2. Don’t bend the cable near the connection. Make sure your case is actually big enough to avoid bending.
3. Make sure it’s actually plugged in all the way. If you didn’t hear a click, it’s not plugged in all the way.
4. Don’t keep disconnecting the cable to check for burns. The connection is weak and designed to fail after only a handful of disconnect/reconnects. If you followed the 3 steps above perfectly, you have nothing to worry about.

That said, I’m skipping this GPU generation (and most likely the next one as well). Hopefully in 2-4 years AMD or Intel will be on more level grounds with nVidia so that I can finally stop giving them money just to have good ray tracing performance.

I just installed it and was immediately annoyed by the auto-scrolling feature being turned on by default. Is that really how TikTok works? How does anyone put up with this shit?

I’m sorry but it’s just not enough. There are still way too many people on reddit.

We need that number to be in the millions, so that niche communities form and I can finally stop going to reddit for that content. I want to be done with that website sooo badly.

I’m happy for you but unfortunately this isn’t a solution for me, because old PCs don’t have HDMI 2.1 support. I would have to buy a modern GPU, and I rather not spend hundreds.

Old computers don’t have HDMI 2.1 support, silly. I’d have to buy a modern GPU, and I don’t want to spend hundreds just for a slightly faster interface.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn’t seem to support Dolby Atmos/DTS:X. Just plain 5.1/7.1. I have a 5.1.4 setup.

Hell, my fucking $2000 OLED came with a shit processor and only 8GB of storage; it’s laggy as fuck and only had room for one more app. Had to remove a bunch of crap via ADB just for the TV to be usable. It’s annoying as fuck that even high-end TVs come with the equivalent of a $50 Chinese phone under the hood.

Does anyone know of a box I can plug into the TV that actually has a decent CPU, at least 12GB of RAM, and usable storage space? It also needs to run on Android, and have a HDMI 2.1 port for 4K 120Hz support with HDR. I watch a lot of HFR content and stream PC games so this is a must. The remote should also be able to control the TV (including entering the menu), and the Dolby Atmos receiver too. Last thing I want is for the wife to complain about having to juggle 2 or 3 remotes just to watch Stremio.

Oh wow, 625 user registrations. How will we ever manage to handle such a massive influx of people?

*sigh*

That’s nothing; my Ryzen 7000 machine uses 150w at idle. Modern high-end desktops draw a lot of power.

My X670E system also uses a shitload of power. Literally 150w at idle, no matter what I do. Tried disabling every unnecessary feature in the BIOS and enabling all the energy efficient settings I can find, to no avail. Drives me nuts.

I hate how pro right wing YouTube is. Half the time I make an anti-Trump comment, it gets censored. But plenty of pro-MAGA comments get through constantly.

I can tell that I’m getting censored because my comments simply won’t be there when I go back to the same video from a different account. But it’ll show up in my comment history with a “some comments might not be visible yet” disclaimer at the top. Sometimes if I keep reposting the comment it’ll eventually go through, but by then the video has stopped being promoted by the algorithm and so no one sees it. This only happens to me when I get political.

Just checked and all these supposedly “banned” subs are up and running.

Bro. Do you not know what the words “not interested” mean? I wasn’t going to read your first wall of text, and I’m surely not going to read that second one. I can’t handle the ignorance from bigots and bootlickers.

It’s literally just Shower Thoughts: The Website.

I really don’t understand the appeal.

Any post that starts with “listen up libs” immediately makes me ignore the rest of its contents. Not interested in your MAGA and/or tankie bullshit.

No not the same. Forums didn’t revolve around media, they revolved around discussions.

And I’m 37, thankyouverymuch
