  • I mentioned this in another thread about the same thing. The Samsung Galaxy S3 was great for that. It was a 10 second job to pop off the back cover and swap out the battery. No risk of breaking the screen, no glue, no miniature cables to unplug and replug. That really should be the norm. It would be even better if we also didn't have to buy expensive branded batteries to replace them.

  • Chinese doesn't have a phonetic alphabet, so basically all the writing is in hanzi. Japanese kanji were basically just taken from hanzi, but they also have a phonetic alphabet, so they don't need all the words to have a kanji equivalent.

    Also, there's much less overlap in pronunciation of Japanese words than in Chinese. It makes sense that you would have more characters to represent more words when their pronunciation is identical.

  • Seriously, those people should already know how to do their jobs. They don't need someone to tell them what to do. Though in a kitchen, there's definitely a pecking order that needs to be respected, and when you do ask them to do something, they need to get on it ASAP, otherwise shit can go bad pretty quickly.

  • While I agree that smart TVs are garbage, they're cheap AF because of the ads and other garbage they include. Look for a dumb TV, if you can even find one nowadays, and it's double the price. They're subsidizing the cost of the TV with the ads and tracking.

    I also have an older TV from 2008, and if it dies, I'm probably not going to replace it. I don't use it enough that it's worth replacing.

    If you want a large monitor, those are quite expensive, especially at the sizes of today's TVs. You can get a cheapish 40" monitor, but above that, you're looking at a 50% premium for a monitor over a TV.

  • Could be both, but more likely just the labeling issue. They probably just don't have the amount of caffeine listed on them. It's probably not intentionally misrepresenting the amount of caffeine. More likely, they just weren't aware of the local laws when they decided to sell their products here. After all, they're all listed as not having bilingual packaging.

  • Graffiti is not a great analogy because it's not what your property is made for. If you had a wall on your property that you made publicly accessible specifically for graffiti, then you may be responsible for what you allow to stay up on it. Otherwise, it's just someone vandalising your property.

  • Yeah, of course games made back then are going to look ridiculous scaled up to 1080p or higher. The SNES had a resolution of 256×224, and the graphics were designed with the drawbacks of 50/60hz interlaced displays in mind. Nowadays, we have progressive scan consumer-grade TVs at 4K resolutions and refresh rates of 120hz. It doesn't make sense to scale the graphics up directly.

  • It's not even your finger print information that's stored on the phone. It's information that your fingerprint unlocks. If you give me your phone, I can't get that use out of that information. The same way websited don't save your actual passwords, your phone doesn't save your actual fingerprint.
