  • I used Deezer for several years before they removed regional pricing. Sound quality was better than Spotify IMO, and I like their UI more. It's cleaner and less cluttered. The fact that you get lossless included by default now is definitely a plus too. You can also upload your own wav/mp3 files if you can't find it in their catalog. Never tried Tidal so I don't have an opinion about it.

  • Any suggestions on where to start with troubleshooting an external hard drive that isn't being detected? For context, it's a very old 1TB HDD that is in its own case. I'm not really sure how I can open it because the case has no screws. It worked last week and suddenly stopped. Usually the led indicator blinks when I plug it into my laptop's usb port, but now it just stays the same color (meaning no activity).

  • Absolutely superior on desktop, especially when combined with RES. It has also been what older users who started out with old.reddit have been used to. New.reddit is like forcing a social media site format like twitter or instagram on a forum type of website like reddit. Imagine a vertical twitter-like feed on a desktop browser. Inefficient and lots of wasted space.

    On the other hand, lemmy web apps like Alexandrite provide a modern look while at the same time maintain the efficiency of a forum-style site.

  • I wasn't even aware the dealership I got my car from automatically reported to Carfax until I started receiving reminders for oil changes, inspections, and registration renewals. I just went ahead and created an account and it's great to have an automatic record there in case I lose my receipts.

  • I think they weren't implying it's the best option, just that it's the lesser evil. You can definitely go for some other foss options or a separate satnav entirely, but Apple Carplay works on most cars without requiring additional software or tools. Obviously OP will have to buy an iPhone.

  • I really thought I watched an unfinished version of this movie by mistake. That's how bad the CGI was. It doesn't help that the director defended the cgi by saying they did it on purpose because when Barry is moving fast, things will look "distorted" from his perspective. What a laughable excuse. I remember seeing all the very positive reviews from an advanced screening like a month before release. Makes me think all those reviewer testimonies were paid.

    Bad CGI aside, the plot was ok but execution was terrible. They made multiverses and time traveling seem so mundane and the viewer doesn't really feel the weight or the implications of Barry's actions. The jokes fell flat for me too. As usual, it's always Batman who comes out as the best thing in these kinds of movies. Batfleck looked so bloated and weird though, and Affleck looked fine out of costume so I don't know what was going on there.

  • I finally joined the club and got a 34” curved monitor this month. Pretty good so far. It has also cleared up space on my desk instead several monitors taking up most of it. I still use my laptop as an extra screen to the side though.

  • Google Maps is better for traffic data and it’s "live map" (basically any information that relies on to the minute information).

    This is it for me. 95% of my usage of maps is while I’m driving, and I need live data so I can be rerouted immediately if there’s a sudden change of traffic ahead, or if I take a wrong turn or exit.
