So many of those are also fiction. There was a post somewhere, where the op had compiled a list of top relationshipadvice posts that were highly suspicious at the very least up if you went into their posters’ histories. People were eating them up.
That sub became mostly a creative writing gym a long time ago.

Showerthoughts•From what I've seen, public transit is either expensive and terrible or cheap and good.
2·15 天前Except when the train is operated by Deutsche Bahn. Then you wish you were walking from Düsseldorf to Munich.
Very different vegetables though. It’d be like comparing wine and beer.

Mildly Infuriating•Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalledEnglish
9·18 天前I mean I am pretty happy with my nothing phone. It came with a pretty minimal stock android that runs on hardware that’s quite good for what I paid. Despite the shitty name that people have indeed made fun of, the phone’s been pretty good so far.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name•Behind the scenes test shots just discovered
2·20 天前Top right looks like he’s just about to launch into an angry rant about how much Kirk Hammett sucks.
These things are very heavily optimized for the singular purpose of reading books. They can’t do much of anything else, but they do that one thing very well and very efficiently. They run a custom, lightweight Linux OS that’s very aggressive with its battery management. Coupled with an e-ink display, they sip power and can run for weeks on a single charge. That’s not something a simple android can provide.
3 zone a/c is also pretty nice. No more “it’s too <exact opposite of what the driver is feeling>” whining from the back.

Selfhosted•The AWS outage hit us during the day in Australia. I didn't notice because I run my own server, btwEnglish
3·25 天前I once read a review of a sous vide machine that just would not work unless it was connected to a smartphone via an app. And then that app would not work properly without a connection to some backend. That backend died at some point, bricking the sous vide machine. What a wonderful world we live in.
I doubt it but it does look like it went through some heavy handed filter or even some upscaling.

Hardware•Ring cameras are about to get increasingly chummy with law enforcementEnglish
17·1 个月前I don’t think it would have been illegal to point a bunch of reasonably powerful IR LEDs in that camera’s direction either.
They’re not out of order, it’s just there are two orders. The left side is “what if bicycles” themed and the right side is “what if bus” themed. Except the top left is shared, of course.
Obviously it could have been presented more clearly though.

Technology•Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe modelsEnglish
17·1 个月前That’s a corpo problem, not an EV problem. They could very easily make a perfectly fine EV that isn’t a shitty motorized “smart device”, if they chose to. But they aren’t. The EV push just happened to coincide with the global ramping up of automotive enshittification that had already begun for all cars regardless of their energy source.
Absolutely not. Nvidia GPUs and some network cards can and will break sleep on Linux. It’s currently very much broken on my machine and I stopped trying to fix it. Up until a few days ago the PC failed to properly power down to a sleep state and would leave a whole bunch of things powered up, like the monitor and the fans and the lights. Now it’s even worse. On top of all that, the computer goes right back into sleep seconds after it wakes up. Extremely annoying.
I use arch btw.

1·1 个月前That was said by one random, rather insignificant Microsoft employee who had no capacity to make such a claim. Not in a position to even have that kind of information on the company’s future plans.
And even if they did have the capacity, if you actually go look at what really was said, it’s reasonably clear that they wanted to say latest version but fucked up the sentence. I hate defending Microsoft but that thing has become a meme at this point.
European countries have done the same for a long time though. Your Schengen visa application can easily be declined if you do not show that you have accomodations and a return ticket already taken care of. It’s not a strict automatic rejection afaik, but it’s most definitely not unheard of. It’s also common for the border police to ask to see your return tickets, depending on your… appearance.







Well Tesla tried to fix that by making it a yoke instead of a wheel so your hands would never leave their designated positions. And then they went and fucked that up by making it a fixed steering ratio like a regular wheel, which defeated the entire purpose of a yoke. Then they just ditched the yoke entirely instead of developing a variable ratio steering mechanism for it, and that was it for the yoke. Oh also they went back on their bold and courageous and revolutionary and innovative move of removing the steering stalk in favor of shitty capacitive buttons on the wheel, because everyone hated that too. Very brave.
