Hey! Get outta here! Go on, get!
I have one.
I have only ever used the Samsung store to install a single official customisation app that I used once and never again.
As far as I’m concerned it only exists to occasionally annoy me with notifications about apps with updates that I installed from other stores.
Nice to see news from Thailand that isn’t about their shitty royals.
Most browsers have some sort of tab search function nowadays, changed my life.
In Firefox you can search them with the bar (I think % first will make it search tabs?) And in Chromium-based ones I think you can hit Ctrl+Shift+a. I prefer the chromium approach as it also puts anything playing audio at the top of the list.
Is a funny joke, but Yoda speaks in a consistent OSV as opposed to SVO used in English. 🤓
I run Linux on an old gaming PC that I use as a file server / jellyfin server / homeassistant / probably a bunch more I’m forgetting, and that one rarely goes above 50W, lol. Haven’t tested it under full load, though.
That’s because, considering the bosses you have to fight, every character is weighted down by their enormous balls.
Can’t speak for the most modern ones which I know are worse, but I was pretty surprised when I recently got a smart plug with power monitoring recently to find that my system with a 3080 (though, undervolted slightly), 16-core cpu, way too many peripherals, eight various drives, several small screens and dual monitors, only pulls 600-650W under full load.
I got the plugs to help me choose an appropriate UPS, and I don’t need one as powerful as I’d thought I would.
Boiled?! I’m not made of money.
When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They’re fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.
Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.
For me, a bad gallstone. Pain enough to make me throw up twice and they had to give me two doses of morphine before it worked well enough.
Yeah, but most of the lactose intolerant people I know constantly forget to take them, lol.
I have never met a lactose intolerant person that didnt, upon mentioning it when they inevitably buy something full of lactose, look me dead in the eye and confirm their terrible intolerance before going into a frightening lactose-consuming frenzy that chilled me to my very core.
They know the price they must pay. They laugh at death and spit in the face of genetics. A grim, dangerous people, the lactose intolerant.
Been trying to remember if there’s an episode of a podcast I listen to that dealt with this (the modern mann, named for the host, it’s not male-focused, there’s a segment where Alix Fox talks about sex-related questions), and I think there’s a couple that are related but not precisely.
Communication is definitely one of the things I know have been brought up as very important. Setting expectations and boundaries.
This may be one of those topics I think you might have to browse reddit to get a lot of experienced/detailed answers for - /r/EthicalNonMonogamy would be the place to search, probably.
I was going to make a comment about the 1998 battlezone game, but I looked it up and it’s actually soviet moonbases, which makes more sense, really.
Play some co-op games with a friend. Maybe some helldivers 2 and darktide! Been a while and a new update is out for that. Good to give it a try before dawntrail consumes my every waking moment.
It’s bloody difficult.
I used to mod on /r/videos years and years back. We had this one guy who was not very active as a mod in the day to day stuff, but was respected because he’d basically disappear for a few months and then reappear with a huge post in our modding sub basically going “so these are all spammers/malicious actors, here’s their profiles, the accounts were created in these waves, here’s where they’ve copied existing posts / the identical generic comments and things they use to get around our posting requirements, the targets they’ve been promoting, etc”. Just huge pages of thoroughly researched proof.
This was well before we had huge awareness of situations like Russia manipulating social media - it was usually those viral video places that buy up rights to videos and handle licensing and promotion. It’s why for a long time any licensed videos from places like viralhog etc were outright banned - they were constantly trying to manipulate reddit postings in bad faith, and even trying to socially engineer the mod team in modmail, so any videos that mentioned a licensing deal in the description were automatically banned from posting.
If we didn’t have that one guy spotting the patterns, most of it would have gotten by easily. Unfortunately he did eventually disappear for good. No clue what happened to him, hope he just cut out social media or something. But with the spamming and astroturfing stuff… Even after fighting it for years I can’t tell you what to do to counter it besides “have more of that guy”.
When it comes to 3D games, if they tried for realism, they can’t, IMO. Stylized 3D can look pretty good even when fairly old, but old 3D that tried for realism just looks dated. Even a lot of 3D games now that try for a more realistic style (outside of the huge AAA studios) look kinda bad to me, but I’m very sensitive to the uncanny valley effect. I mean, even before they updated the models and world, WoW still looked pretty decent long after release.
Yeah, I just set up a catch-all and use individual emails for everything, like the gmail + trick but without sites rejecting + characters occasionally.
Of course, I have several domains and one is a .rodeo that some older sites refuse to believe is a TLD so there’s that problem…
Is a cooking method from the 70s really… futuristic?
Not saying it isn’t worth it, though.
