  • I thought this was going to be about Netflix at first

  • I take it to mean it's playing into a fascist's insecurities; it's only supposed to sound judgy if you're insecure about being a strongman's sub.

  • If you have the right TV, the right streaming box, and the right receiver (if you use one), HDR looks fine, but a lot of TVs either don't support HDR or have a really terrible HDR implementation. And then a lot of streaming services either have bad non-HDR video streams or just take the TV claiming HDR at face value and don't give you a way to turn it off.

    I don't think it's fair to expect everyone to extensively research and buy high-end TVs just so they can (literally) see a movie or show.

  • I don't know about the heat aspect, but third party flashlight apps are just using the camera API without showing you a viewfinder or exposing shutter controls.

    Even the built-in flashlight toggles on Android are still just creating a camera session and enabling the flash.

    To block third party flashlight apps, manufacturers would have to block third party camera apps too, or add in some sort of global time limit for the flash.

  • Isn't it weird how long it took phone makers to catch onto the use-case of the camera flash being a flashlight?

  • That's just Dutch

  • That doesn't mean every employee and contractor is coming in to work 24/7.

    A workweek is per-person, not per-company.

  • Only if it's real vanilla

  • It's also very nice how this site tries to launch a new tab to ask to enable notifications.

  • "Microsoft's latest update breaks [some] VPNs and there's no fix [yet]"

    Windows is getting worse and worse, but do we have to spin legitimate bugs as some nefarious plot?

  • Prime is still cheaper for me

  • 55,000 to 65,000 feral bees

  • If there's anything good about this, it's that insurance providers at least have plenty of margin to fall back on when lowering prices to compete.

  • My Prime membership pays for itself about 8 times over because the one medication I have is so cheap through Prime vs insurance.

    But it's a little worrying that the company famous for undercutting competitors to drive them out of the market is doing this with healthcare.

  • That was absolutely written by AI.

  • That instance just has a custom homepage written in React. The actual social UI is normal Mastodon with some color tweaks.

    It is possible to use different frontends for Mastodon, though. Web apps like Elk can either run on a dedicated server to log into any Mastodon instance, or can be hosted by instance admins as alternative frontends.

  • Just be careful it's not a Lenovo Thinkpad from the suprfish generation.

  • The only one I personally know isn't Spanish is Catalan which is why I called it out. I'm being tongue-in-cheek about Iberian Spanish (or Spanishes) being the "wrong" type of Spanish vs. Latin American varieties.
