This makes perfect sense to me. If you plug your phone in to your car and give it permission to access all your shit, then it will access all your shit, and store it locally so that it doesn't have to re-download all your shit every time. If you don't want your car to do that, then don't plug in your phone and give it permission to do that.

Having said that, it is terrifying how much of our personal data modern cars collect. We should be fighting that, but this specific case was not the way to do that.

Credit Karma also doesn't have bill tracking, which is the main feature I use with Mint. It's just a fucking credit score tool lol.

Apparently they just announced it

What? FUCK.

Uhh what? That's not how RAM works, you don't load an entire 8GB video you're playing into RAM.

Yeah pirating games is way sketchier than pirating movies. I used to do it when I was a kid, but nowadays I know enough to avoid random .exe's. That's basically just volunteering to be a part of a botnet.

Also, most of the games I'm personally interested in are online multiplayer titles. Playing pirated games online can be very difficult or basically impossible, depending on the game.

Game piracy certainly isn't dead, but there are valid reasons that it's less popular.

It's an entirely different architecture, so every program needs less RAM (with exceptions like I mentioned above). That's why they're using shared RAM; because they can pull it off (mostly).

I don't disagree that the M processors need less RAM, but the idea that they need half as much is bullshit. My poor little 8GB M1 struggles with more than 20 chrome tabs open, and it especially struggles when running apps that aren't built to be M1 compatible (through Rosetta).

Yes, you have to find your own trackers, that's always been the case. And Lidarr does help with renaming and organizing files, yes. I'd argue that this person is making things harder by searching for FLAC files specifically, which is unnecessary. Most people don't care about lossless, so it's harder to find. Makes perfect sense to me.

Also, check out Soulseek. It's a proprietary app that doesn't use torrents, but it's P2P and it's very popular.

They're bigger AND heavier. Small vehicle manufacturers still use lithium ion batteries because it lets them cram more range into a limited battery space, without being too heavy. And the fact that a lithium ion battery goes bad in a few years is just icing on the cake. Many people will just buy a new scooter rather than replacing the battery, so the manufacturer makes more money.

Yeah this groomer needs to be fired, I assume they have no training or experience. This is a pretty bad thing to do to certain breeds.

Edit: looking at the context in the photo, this is either a really amateur home groomer or somebody just shaving their own dog. The caption might have been added later.

Lol we got no sound, bud

The Dunkey video caused this

Isn't Opera mostly owned by Chinese investors now? Stick with Vivaldi, that's where all the Opera devs went.

You've been out of the game for too long, friend. We have Lidarr now....among all the other tools mentioned here.

Yes, and the fact that they keep finding sleep paralysis instead of a lucid dream is a little concerning, so this person is recommending they talk to a professional about it.

The amount of copium I see in these comments is staggering. Google owns the Youtube app, they own the Youtube servers, they even own the damn operating system you're running it on, and they're one of the richest companies in history. Do you REALLY think they couldn't shut down ReVanced if they wanted to? Are you really that naive?

The moment they decide to put even a small amount of effort towards shutting down ReVanced or the others, they're as good as dead.

Nope. Your audio quality is already very good, the only reason to upgrade would be if your mobo's audio out can't power your headphones properly (meaning they don't get loud enough).

There is no "minor purchase" that will make your audio better. You would have to spend several hundred dollars (at least) for a sound quality improvement that's so imperceptible to the average listener that it's probably just the placebo effect.

Having said that, if you fancy yourself a real audiophile and think you can tell the difference between 320 kbps and lossless audio, go nuts. Some people (maybe 1% of the population or less) might actually be sensitive to this type of stuff. But it won't be cheap.

It's a reference to a very old joke. Somebody uses a 10 ft ladder to get over a wall. The owner of the wall builds it higher, up to 11 ft. The ladder climber then comes back with a 12 ft ladder.

The exact numbers obviously don't matter: the point is that ladders are a LOT cheaper than walls, and you can always get a ladder that's 1ft longer.

Oh damn, I keep seeing reviews say it's "OLED-like" so I thought it was. So yeah, it just has better colors (which is a low bar because the Steam Deck screen is not great).
