  • Many low-end and mid-range chipsets can't even play 4K video. At one point Qualcomm even dropped 4K support on 600 series even though past ones had it.

    I've got one like that. Tops out at 2K so I can't view videos from my older phone without either downscaling them or re-encoding them into something efficient enough to use SW decoder in VLC.

  • If I wouldn't see my next paycheck, I'd stop working. No need to do so then.

  • Welp, my school just sends everyone pictures of the items and waits who claims it.

  • Somebody else could've taken that.

    The lost and found at my school sometimes gathers interest on some items. Umbrella on a rainy day got 4 people claiming it's theirs. But a golden chain is still winning at 8 people claiming it as theirs.

  • Currently I found a glitch to get near-free infinite mobile data usable in my country via 3 different mobile carriers giving me far superior coverage as well.

    I got a Czech T-Mobile SIM card with the purpose of receiving SMS verification codes. Unlike cards in my country, Czech ones don't need ID card registration. The cheapest one was an IoT SIM card, so that's what I took. I found I could get signal basically everywhere with it, since they have multiple roaming partners (Slovak Telekom, O2 and Orange).
    For shits and giggles, I've used that 200MB it came with since it's available in EU as well. And that's when I discovered the 64/32 kbps limit after using up the data isn't getting applied outside of Czech Republic. It just still goes at full speed.
    Charged at 0.00CZK:

    The difference with IoT and regular SIMs is that low speed. IoT SIM cards get that reduced speed while regular ones have a hard cut-off with more data amount. Attempt with regular SIM after using up the data:

    So really, I can just fully use 80MB for 39CZK (1.59USD) and keep going:

    But there is a caveat: Permanent roaming charges. If for the past 4 months the SIM is used more than 50% abroad, T-Mobile can start charging these charges. This year it's €1.30/GB without VAT. But I can probably just keep getting new SIM cards each few months.

    But I am being nice and still mostly using my regular carrier with 300GB of data. I rather keep this as backup. The wholesale market data cap is that €1.30/GB in 2025, so the carrier could get charged up to €390 for that same amount by their roaming partner. Regardless, I am not giving them equivalent of €1.55 for just 80MB either.

  • Or they meant Quick Share on Android, but I doubt anyone actually uses that.

  • No thanks. I'll wait for USB to develop their own writing and language first. They will get there one day.

  • Die.

    I've got a habit of living. Nothing more, really, it's just a habit.

    HTML frames, what a bad boy!

    The only working external link seems to be Adobe, so you won't really get stuck in it browsing something else.

  • As an Arch user, whatever suits you.

    I installed Arch on my ThinkPad because............................................... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh.......... I had an Arch sticker and I felt like I couldn't use it if I didn't use Arch.

    Everyone has some reasons for their favorite distro.

  • There's A LOT of unhealthy porn, especially for kids. Especially for kids with no sex education. It's also easier for them to get addicted.

    You could also say alcohol is part of growing up, because for many it is.

  • I mean that YOUR emails would possibly end up in spam of say GMail users.

  • I used to do that as a kid. Made defecating far easier.
