  • 100 isn't enough to really be worth anything too serious. The smart thing to do is either save it for something bigger or just have fun with it. Best way I spent 100 as a kid was on pizza and shit for me and my friends. A Minecraft server and some pizza is like 30 bucks, provides hours of fun

  • Buy a copy of Minecraft, best purchase I ever made

  • Windows Defender is fine. The only anti-virus good enough at what it does to be worth buying instead of just using WD is Emisisoft, and that has its own set of issues.

  • Y'all are ignoring what this actually is - an app for EVERY video platform. Also, restrictive license is fine as long as the source code is available. Rossman explains this is to keep people from just forking and making scam versions of the app like NewPipe sees.

  • I mean they do have Android drivers for Exynos now, but if normal devs are still working around snapdragon the effects will still be felt. For all the pull Samsung has, Snapdragon has a much bigger market share.

  • They do, but there are still plenty of old people who like Coldplay

  • Joe Pera episode that reminds me of this. Warning, this episode makes me cry, like a lot. It isn't sad, but I don't think most people are prepared for a show like Joe Pera where there is no cynicism whatsoever. There is nothing to take away from the punch of the emotional moments. By far the most unique show to ever air on Adult Swim. The show is PG for the most part, it's just very

    Joe Pera Talks You Back To Sleep and Joe Pera Reads The Church Announcements (episodes of the show, first one is the linked one) are just some of the greatest recordings ever. Church Announcements is not about the church announcements, and is instead about Joe discovering a new song to obsess over on the radio, Baba O'Reilly by The Who. The next 8 minutes is essentially a compilation of an autistic man stimming out of escasty. This isn't played for laughs. It's just letting us share his autistic joy for the episode.

  • Pretty much all Android drivers are for snapdragon. Not just using a snapdragon is pretty much asking for a bad time.

  • Surprised by Khalid on here, kinda thought he was irrelevant at this point

  • It's the most widely accepted conspiracy theory I've seen

  • I was on Tidal forever ago. To answer the most important question, no the higher quality audio files aren't total snake oil. Certain offerings definitely sound better. Amazon Music generally offers higher sound quality though. Tidal also do pay artists better, but Napster is the best about payment if I'm not mistaken (ironic as fuck).

    As for the app though... It's been a few years, but this is where everything that offers sound quality goes to shit. The desktop player was ass and the website was ass. It didn't know how to handle Last.fm and other things I'd consider basics for Audiophiles. Amazon Music's UI was even worse, I cancelled it after 2 days.

    Spotify has the best value proposition. Hulu+Spotify for 10 bucks is good. I also question how long Tidal will be able to continue existing.

  • Yeah, however I think this is one of those things that should be a stock feature. Most people who use webcams aren't tech people and want a plug and play experience. It isn't particularly hard to implement and helps Android stay competitive with Apple's user experience.

  • Some, yes, but many of the things that Europeans go "whoa how could they have possibly done that" (waterworks, roads, pyramids) when the Romans or people adjacent to the Romans were able to do it 1000+ years earlier. Not trying to do the whole "primitive" bit, more just saying that a lot of the shit white people say was "impossible" from brown people of their era was achieved by people they considered white thousands of years earlier. Logically speaking, there is no reason that indigenous people wouldn't have been able to figure out many of the things white people credit to aliens.

  • Lol this is funny. I wouldn't really call it much of a war, it's Apple holding back easily implemented features to cater to elitism. Would platforms like WhatsApp have taken over so heavily if basic texting was actually good enough?

  • White people making innovations in Rome: Geniuses

    Brown people make pretty much the same innovations hundreds of years later: Aliens
