  • But that is what they consume.

    Didn't something just come out that Alberta has a higher trump approval rating than anywhere in america or some dumb shit like that?

    That doesn't happen by consuming responsible news sources. That happens from Fox non-news.

  • It's funny, because there actually is 0 price reduction in most cases.

    It is literally even more expensive cars and the corporations double dipping to make extra profit.

    Except for maybe some lesser-known Chinese brands that I have no point of reference for, I don't believe there is a single corporation that has made their "smart" cars with tracking on-par or cheaper than their counterparts.

  • Hilti is what the pros use.

    I got a 2nd hand old model from my girlfriend's dad (still twist lock) and it is a damn beast!

    The Bosch professional line of hand jackhammers (don't know the english word) can't hold a candle to hilti to be honest. Hiltis can go all day and not overheat. It is just damn expensive.

  • Megabyte Punch is a side scrolling fighting game where you build your robot with different parts salvaged from fought robots that give you different abilities and powerups.

    It is a super fast, casual game that you can bang out in a few nights. It has a pretty good electronic soundtrack, boss fights feel weighty even if they are relatively simple.

    One of my favorite games as far as just fun and de-stressing!

  • For me it was some train movie made with model trains with a conductor that went "oh no" and a movie about talking real life construction equipment when I was young.

    Then when I was a bit older, we watched Galavants and Willy the Sparrow.

    I wonder if anyone else on the fediverse has even heard of these 😅

  • Wait wait wait, can you give an example? I have to see this 😅

  • And in all tiers: make an additional profit by selling your information without your consent (it has been decided in many courts that burying subtext deeply in forced terms of service isn't consent)

    We are already paying them by letting them harvest our data, ads or not.

    Then they double or triple dip with the scenarios you describe. I am still paying them by being on their site with an ad blocker as they harvest my data and sell it to the highest bidder. Not to mention quadruple dipping with using our info and content without consent to train AI to sell.

    They use the argument "your data/art/photos/videos are freely posted on the internet, so we can use them how we please". If they publish content openly on the internet, then we are free to do with it as we please.

    They can't use the argument but say "no no no, it doesn't apply to things WE put out"

    They are either pirating our content and data constantly or ad-blocking is not pirating.

  • EU and US warranty are not transferable to each other, sadly.

  • You definitely don't use CUDA then. That is hardware accelerated machine learning basically.

    For you usecase then it doesn't make much of a difference. DLSS 3.0 is indeed better than FSR, but there are few games that use it i guess. DLSS 2.x and FSR are about on par with each other and FSR is enabled in all games. . Many/most of people don't even realize that DLSS/FSR is disabled when gaming as the vast vast majority of games don't even have it and and most don't think about it, I have no idea if you are in the same boat, but then it makes no sense to base a decision based off of features you don't use, in my opinion.

  • The key is to become famous and create hype around your gambling bet so other people artificially inflate the value so that you have a "theoretical" $60 billion.

  • Oh boy. Disney adaptation track record is very hit or miss. I hope they don't mess this one up like the last adaptation.

  • Games simply don't benefit enough for the cost of a new processor, let alone new motherboard and ram.

    A new GPU will almost always the best bang for your buck improvement in games.

    Then you should definitely go AMD. There is literally no reason not to unless you are already using cuda or ray tracing a ton. AMD is the best value for the money by far, has a MUCH better software interface (never thought I would say that), comparable or less driver issues than nvidia now, and it also works flawlessly on Linux, including full undervolting support (important on any GPU, but on AMD it is much easier).

    That being said, if comparable performance GPUs are the same price in your region and you use windows, nvidia is also fine to grab.

    Always undervolt your GPU. My 5700XT that ran on 200W before now maxes out at 150W and usually is at 140W with a 1% performance difference. That is like a 9C temp difference.

  • Bought 2 pairs of their normal socks (everyday/sport socks) because they advertised to keep your feet cool during the day. I decided to test them out before I bought a bunch as workout socks.

    1 was completely ripped on the sides by literally the 3rd wear (2nd week I had them), only walking around the office a bit.

    The other lasted 8 wears before it got a hole on the balls of my feet and was almost worn through on the sides (about 6 weeks), still not one workout done with then

    By very far the worst socks I have ever owned. I didn't get a chance to try their warranty because I moved out of the US, but hot damn I will always recommend against their thin socks, only go for the large tube/hiking/warm socks.

  • Millions of dollars. Sadly that is what you need.

  • Facebook marketplace is literally a shit show full of scams and it is hard to find anything, a bad UI, and no good filtering. The only thing holding it up is the algorithm to show you products (based on your browsing and advertising data). It is a step up from Craigslist, but it is mediocre at its absolute best. There are just no used alternatives in many places

    We have an app here called 2dehands which has a similar scam problem, but is easier to filter out. However, the UX is 10x better with robust filtering, setting up pre-specced searches based on location, price, text strings, quality, categories, etc... with email and/or app notifications for new items added and everything surrounding bidding and favorite item status.

  • Nope. I type in SPAR and it gives me a bunch of random results 150km away.

    I type in Grocery and it gives me SPAR 1.5km away.

    I need to type in the exact address for it to find a place, with no errors. Otherwise I can type a category name and hope that it finds it and that I guessed right, that also works.

    If you type in a partial name (I.e. not the full legal name including company abbreviations) of a store it will break itself and show you completely random unrelated results from a random place in the country.

    I took a bunch of screenshots a while back as proof.

    It is fundamentally broken, and it is widely reported IIRC, but I don't know if there are any issues open about it.

  • They ripped off an open source app Breezy Weather and changed a couple of the card shapes lol

  • Also the search doesn't work, so there is that...

    Also using it in android auto is a pain and every action takes between 10x and 100x longer than on the phone.

    But yeah it is pretty good and I try to contribute to it when I can. I don't know how to contribute to bad instruction translations though. It just says "verlaat" on an exit in dutch which grammatically makes no sense.

  • The DoD actually did a study I thought "recently" on password security and found that changing passwords every X days lead to more insecure passwords since people would create shorter, easily changeable passwords that follow a very easy to crack pattern.

    Don't think they changed their policy though.

  • I am fighting this with people at work.

    No, it is not "one more password to remember"

    You have 2 passwords: your laptop and your Bitwarden. Forget everything else. Don't care. Use a passphrase if you have troubles with passwords.

    I even generated a sample password from bitwarden and drew them a picture of how to remember it lol

    Still about 10% of people forgot their password in the first 2 months.
