You get that idea because no one actually browses the internet anymore. All people ever do is use fucking social Media and that’s about it. No one’s using Limewire to download porn/music, no one’s using warez websites anymore, there are trustworthy porn aggregators so no one needs to visit dubious websites anymore.
Viruses are still a thing, and as someone already mentioned, chrome and edge themselves are spyware. Phishing is the more prodominant modus operandi nowadays.
But maybe people would like a standalone device, without the distraction a regular smartphone brings.
I’m not defending this thing as AI in its current state is near useless, bar some niche applications. But the decision to make it a standalone device isn’t really controversial in my opinion.
I don’t know man, I loved YouTube back in the days when people made videos for shits and giggles. No one expected money from that.
You can use Revanced for example. Alphabet is trying to fuck that up too, but it’s still going strong. Plus, a revanced YouTube is a lot better than the regular app. Want to get rid of Shorts? Revanced will let you get rid of those shitty videos for good. Hate sponsor messages in Videos? Revanced will let you integrated sponsorblock.
The day that revanced won’t work anymore is the day I’ll stop using YouTube.
Given how terrible Teams performes, I’d dread to have merely 8GB to run it on.
I despise these blurred backgrounds. I understand if you use it when working from home and don’t have a dedicated office, but so many people do it even when they’re at the corporate office. The flickering is just super annoying.
Who’s talking about outlawing anything? I simply stated that the internet has indeed become a scarier place compared to the past.
Also, parents are responsible for their kids and the kids aren’t capable of consenting to publishing their pictures as they can’t understand the implications that come with it. Grown-ups can do whatever the hell they want, though I feel a general education on how the Internet works might be a good idea.
Lol, no. Very accessible AI tools can make the pictured kids do whatever the fuck the creator wants. It’s easier than ever to steal identities and ruin lives. The internet still is full of porn and gore but that hardly is the problem. Also, brainwashing via social media is a really big and scary problem. The internet absolutely is scarier then aver before.
Cans are great from an energy-consumption point of view when viewing the entire lifecycle of a can.
I have an iPhone for work and a pixel that I use privately.
There’s like one or two high quality apps on the iPhone that are amazing but that kinda sums up the positive aspects of the iPhone. I absolutely hate the user experience. Android is simply better at this.
But I do agree with you. They’re just bloody phones. Do people really still give a shit? I’m actually pretty sick of these phones. The pixel 7 Pro is the first phone that works the way I want it to and I’d like to simply keep on using this phone for the next 30 years if possible because I don’t want to spend any more money on these shitty rectangles.
I like my Pixel 7 Pro but its also my first phone without a headphone jack and I hate it. Bluetooth is such a shitty standard and the USB dongles suck ass too. Why the fuck did they have to get rid of something so simple and practical…
Stop spouting this nonsense please. It might be true for the USA, but other countries have their shot together and in fact do recycle plastic.
Printing on bottles is a thing. Even in vomit-inducing vibrancy and 69 million shades. Problem is, it inhibits line speed. Higher line speed = more money.
Not really. We do have to make sure to empty the container as good as possible though.
Yeah, I hink its super useful too. But i usually use win+d.
Fair enough!
Guess I’m just a bit excited, since I’ve finally gone back to pirating after more than a decade. And Stremio is just really nice. Only thing I’m missing is the possibility of creating profiles. Can’t let my 8 year old daughter use it like this.
The setup is super easy though. And you’re paying way less than for Netflix, but you get way better quality, can download the videos, and you have everything in one place. You can also get an add-on that gives you the suggestions from all of the streaming services.
Nope, since real-debrid is doing the torrenting, you’re only downloading the cached content. You can use a VPN if it makes you feel safer, but it’s not really necessary.
Edit: just make sure to connect a Real-debrid account to Torrentio! They do the illegal stuff, while you just download without uploading, which is in a legal grey zone (in Germany).
Streaming services stopped being convenient a couple of years ago. Introduction of ads, content strewn all over the place, shitty UI, etc.
I went with Stremio because it has everything in one place. Seeding is not an option because Germany is a shit country for seeding Torrents.
Real Debrid does the torrenting while the end user downloads the cached content. I’m not sure if they seed or not however.
