Free returns are going away

Jump

  • In general I avoid buying clothes online. And I will avoid it much more if returns are difficult.

    • Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free

  • The shitshow of video streaming continues!

    • The secret life of gift cards: Here's what happens to the billions that go unspent each year

    Jump

  • I agree. I always try to give cash over gift cards. Much more flexible and does not expire.

    Gift cards are a hassle because you have to keep careful track of them and be sure you have them when going to that exact business. Cash just goes with your cash.

    I really enjoyed this movie. Based on a true story, not sure exactly how accurate the movie is.

    • People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it?

    Jump

  • Shit happens. Often. Choose to not let it control you and your mood.

    Being stressed and / or tired usually makes my reactions worse. Get rest, lessen stress, and use stress coping techniques.

    You can control your reactions. You cannot control the shit that happens.

    Serenity now...laugh at life and yourself. It is not really that bad. You knew that, right?

  • Thank you kindly, CatZoomies!

    I would like Elden Ring.

    • What are your dental hygiene tips and hacks

    Jump

  • Tips I have learned over the years. In priority order.

    1. Buy a sonicare toothbrush. They are supposed to be better than even Oral B because of the sound waves they produce. May seem expensive but far cheaper than almost any dental procedure. Studies have shown that electric toothbrushes clean better than manual.
    2. Brush daily.
    3. If you cannot brush one day at least use a flouride mouthwash.
    4. Do not use water on your toothbrush. Something in water hinders the effectiveness of flouride.
    5. Do not rinse your mouth with water after brushing. Leave that toothpaste on your teeth.
    6. Buy a water pik and use it. They clean better than flossing.

  • Thank you, kind and patient gamer.

    I do not have any Tomb Raider games and would like Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

    • What future AI applications are you most excited about?

    Jump

  • Agreed.

    I also would like to see AI applied to things like "the computer" when you play against "the computer".

    Imagine a game where everything you see is AI generated based on whatever themes you give it.

  • IMHO restraint is key with light displays. Make it lightweight and pretty, think minimalist and I am on board. Big plastic snowmen and Santas can fuck right off.

    • What future AI applications are you most excited about?

    Jump

  • I don't really trust AI for important tasks but I do want to see them used in video games. There already is some level of AI in many games but how much better can it be?

    • Toshiba exec claims hard drives are 7X cheaper than SSDs and will continually evolve for large datacenters

    Jump

  • I just bought a microcenter brand 1 TB SSD for less than $50. Can a HDD compete with that on price and read/write speed?

    Also recently bought a gaming PC that does not have a HD, only a 1 TB SSD.

    I think HDDs day as boot drives is over. Unless they get a lot faster which I think is unlikely.

    HDDs are certainly useful for larger amounts of storage, though. Self hosting, data centers, etc.

    ETA: I don't think any of the responses read my entire comment. See the LAST SENTENCE in particular, friends.

    • What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

    Jump

  • I remember a 3D version of Tetris on an early IBM PC clone. Very early like 8088 or 286 PC. Don't remember the name and it was only wireframe and 1color (amber or greenscreen?) but I was very impressed with it. Seemed ahead of its time.

  • The appeal of games like this is so odd to me. They're moronic on one hand but viscerally addictive on the other. A very interesting psychological dynamic going on with this whole genre.
