This ‘compress’ everything is such a waste of CPU and energy. Plus “oops, all your files are gone, tee hee”. GZ everywhere is fucking stupid. More complexity for zero benefit.

Is logitech still not allowing you full customization with presets saved on mouse itself? I’d expect that from the cheapest noname 5-button mouse on the shelf, not logiteck, I thought they got their shit together already given how much praise they usually get.

It’s like the BDSM dynamic. Linux is sub, Apple is dom, and Microsoft is like a guy who calls himself dom, but is actually just a dick.

My website is running off of spare resources on my 10w router, and yet my 30w monitor that I’ve been using for 10+ years still says that I’ve saved exactly 0.0 trees every time I turn it on. Thank you, now please fuck off with that bullshit.

I don’t think anything could outweigh the carbon emissions of having to drive to the office.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. Yeah, there’s not much features to expect from a teapot other than maybe specific cutoff temperatures for brewing exotic sorts of tea. Other than that, reliability is the main concern, and I’ve had even the seemingly well built ones suddenly die on me for no particular reason.

Joining in, any tips for a good electric kettle or thermopot?

I tried the cheap ones, and expensive ones, even in-the-middle ones. All of them suckers keep burning down in a year or two.

I am not a lawyer, but I imagine there’s no way I could register, or get away with if I do register something like “molester daycare” or “pedo toothbrush for kids”… Oh wait, apparently the last one is actually a thing. Well then I guess it’s not, but man that’s an unfortunate brand name

What’s up with all the pedo instances? Why are they creating instances in an open web? Are they dumb or something? It sounds to me that just registering the domain names of some of those could be considered a crime, nevermind openly inviting and hosting CSAM.

I started lurking twitter somewhat regularly only after the reddit meltdown, and I’m already got so used to X that I instinctively type X into the address bar and press enter to go there. The problem is, it takes me to xvideos.com instead…

It’s not the amount of services that’s the problem, the competition is aleays a good thing. It’s exclusives that are the problem. Almost noone is complaining about origin and uplay even thouhh it’s games are available via a launcher launching yet another launcher. But epic? Everyone hates epic precisely because of their exclusive deals taking content off of other platforms. And for streaming, I guess if some of the players worked out some deal to get their hands on exclusives from other platforms, people would stop complaining about it, even if they jack up the prices to ultimately end up with the same amount of revenue.

There’s literally no way they could do that without being sued into ashes.

We just have to build a transatlantic power line - It’s always sunny somewhere in the world /s

And fuck the US, UK, China and Iran while at it, too

Reading this at 165hz, and in HDR. But… it’s a laptop.

Though if the panel is out there, so are the monitors using it. From the looks of it, ASUS ZenScreen 16" (MB16QHG), UPERFECT 156K01SG and numerous chinese portable monitors use the exact same panel. Not quite desktop monitors, but it’s at least something

Is it actually good for tablets now?

I remember having a good time with windows 8 on a tablet, that is, as long as all of my needs were fulfilled by metro apps. GNOME, one the other hand, I found to be less usable than even Win10 with display scaling.

This is bad UX:

• It’s disabled by default
• It has a different function (open link in new tab)
• It can be intercepted and disabled by the webpage
• Not as intuitive as a scrollbar

Reading this on 2560x1600 screen right now. They’re still available if you look for them.

AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn’t have much leverage over Russian franchisee’s. They can try and say “close the stores, we’re leaving”, but the actual store owners would just say “no” and re-brand them back to “Rostik’s”. They don’t really have any assets in Russia so there’s nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia

Спасибо за поддержку. Мы стараемся держаться и попытаемся пережить это неописуемое горе.
