Yeah Zen is really nice, was going to try Arc one time but was immediately turned off by the account requirement.

To be completely honest I think most sane people are going to be okay if bluesky ends up as even a slightly better version of what Twitter was.

Of all the sources to use for accurate info on current events I’d say Reuters is probably one of the best. I’m not so naive as to think that these deals aren’t basically just trying to stall any meaningful cases on the legality of these models though.

If nothing else though at least these companies get to be propped up for their work in a small way.

There’s different feeds you subscribe to, and you can disable adult content.

Subscription services or software restricted features for cars should just be outlawed entirely.

Nobody likes these, if someone is willing to deal with a subscription product then they can do that aftermarket. The car itself should never come with something that will require recurring payments.

It just happens that in this case the incentives would align cause they’re not paying for the toothpaste.

Mostly heart rate tracking and scheduling reminders so I don’t forget things. Also good for step tracking and stuff, realistically I’ll just get a Garmin next time cause I still want the long battery life and that’s not really a thing with Android based smart watches.

I miss when the Galaxy Watch ran Tizen instead of Android. I still have the original Galaxy Watch and the battery life is just unbeatable. Likely because it’s not constantly phoning home about the most benign metrics.

I didn’t see it in the article, but doesn’t Ireland have comically low tax rates to start with?

I like the concept and generally it works well, unfortunately I’ve had to disable it because of how sluggish it can make a lot of pages feel. The playlist view in particular becomes hard to use when the extension is enabled.

Hopefully they fix stuff like that longer term so I can turn it back on.

They’re looking for subsidies it seems, they’re getting some pretty generous benefits from the Canadian government so might as well take advantage of it.

This article feels like it was written by an AI trying to get to a word count.

Intel’s current CEO is Pat Gelsinger, he’s an engineer who was the chief architect of the i486.

It’s not just who’s at the top, the issue is that the company has gotten too big. There’s a reason why AMD with such a lower staff count has managed to leapfrog Intel.

TNT is server side, so no not really.

…who asked?

Yeah it’s annoying as hell, wish they’d stop killing their own OS. I honestly think the first few builds of Windows 11 were a decent step in the right direction in terms of actually getting everything feeling relatively cohesive again. But the AI push and everything that happened right after release has started to let the rot creep back in again.

Next GPU I get I’m just going to run Linux as my main OS and have a VM with a GPU pass through so I can stop losing my mind.

I think this is likely to be what I saw others mention on earlier posts. Lots of enterprise or business software that hooks into the control panel.

So even if Microsoft does migrate all the Windows options over to settings there’s still going to be software that uses control panel to manage their own settings.

Unless Microsoft is going to make it possible to hook into the new settings app just as easily then they’re going to have to keep the old one around even though they keep crippling it.

Yeah as much as this sucks I honestly hope that Microsoft will actually take advantage of this and start moving legacy support into more specialized options.

A lot of the reason windows is so janky at times is because of the insane obsession they have with backwards compatibility.

They’re just going to push people to the cheaper units at this point.

I was looking at sous vide cookers a few months back and was considering ANOVA but they were too expensive. Opted for a generic one instead.

The fact that they’re more expensive and require a subscription for what’s essentially a set of presets that my cheap unit has for free is just ridiculous.
