Man, marketing of those tunneling services as VPNs is actually causing damage. Those services are NOT VPNs. Tailscale is very much more like a real VPN than those other things that are pretending to be VPNs.

A while back, Ford used QNX for their infotainment. Not sure if they still do.

Judges HATE malicious compliance. Best case is Simula can file an injunction along the lines of not being a competitor or not having any relevance and wishing to keep their trade secrets...secret. Otherwise, comply with only existing docume

It's probably a combination of things that exist today, that did not exist when Vine was around, which did have influencers and still failed. Tiktok started as a Chinese only service. China has restricted access to the global internet,

What have you been searching/browsing? ;) Instagram uses Facebook/Meta algorithms for serving ads, which includes behavior. I almost never post anything about diabetes in Instagram, but because many other sites (ie: reddit) use Fa

Almost no greyhound related ads. I see occasional pet related ads, but not nearly as common as bogus health supplements, diabetes related stuff (I'm diabetic), random garbage I don't care about, Amazon, and other accounts.

You can host your own and it's federated. The "fed" part makes it a portmanteau of "pixel federated". There's also multiple other hosts you can sign up to.

I don't really care about all of that. Really, I'm more of the "shouting into the void" kind of situation as I know no one cares about my postings, but I do it anyway. So Pixelfed wouldn't really change things for m

Instagram is one of the last social media platforms I use. It's mostly about my dogs. I follow mostly greyhound people. My feed is about half greyhounds and half ads. Increasing ad load from that? I guess it's time to retire my In

Used Nvidia Shield TV since the first gen until the ads started getting really bad and taking up most of the screenspace. That was a very quick way to convert me to an AppleTV user. I know you can replace the launcher on the Shield TV/

I think they're intentionally going for confusion, at this point. I can't pinpoint which gen really pushed things in a bad direction, but it existed in the 3000 series, and an LTT video from yesterday even put it on full display,

As a viewer? I'm confused where it's not obvious. 1. Stop using Youtube 2. Wait for content creators to go to <your favorite video sharing platform>

by bedast 4y ago
That's a really terrible attitude. Do you know why content creators use Youtube despite it being a fairly hostile place for creators? It gets views. Odysee doesn't get views. Vimeo doesn't get views. Youtube is your best chan

I would love to support creators on other platforms where it's monetization first. My issue is I primarily consume this content on my living room TV through an AppleTV 4K, so I rely on apps being available for that to access that conte

This is probably not targeted at gamers. I'd bet the RTX 4090 will have far superior gaming performance at a lower price, while this will likely have superior CUDA/tensor performance. I can't see how ECC RAM would be benefici

Is Nvidia getting in on the same joke USB and HDMI are? Serious question. They have a RTX 4090, RTX 4080, and RTX 4080 but less good. And now RTX 6000? What happens in 2 generations when they want to make a RTX 6090 and so on? Why are there

I think there's a pretty big misunderstanding about what, exactly, Premium funds. I get that ads are annoying, but if you're not paying for the service and you're blocking ads, you're not just hurting Youtube/Google

It's my understanding that monetized content creators get more revenue per view from a Youtube premium subscriber than they do from a free user being served ads. The split in revenue tends to show more revenue from ads, but it's i

I suspect what it really boils down to is laws. Taxation works different outside of US borders, and there may be export restrictions to consider. It's a valid point that you won't be able to nail down a remote workforce that trave

Your argument would make sense if all I used my internet connection for was consumption of streaming media. Regardless of whether I'm streaming media or not, I'm also going to be working, chatting with friends and colleagues, play

First, those streaming services are ad-free. Cable is not. Second, those streaming services cover what would be considered "premium" content on cable, so that price comparison is grossly misleading. They're comparing subscrib

Been a user of gandi.net for over a decade. The only problem I have with them is not even their fault: My credit union will not allow me to pay gandi with their card services because they're a foreign company (gandi is based in France)

For me, for the future, I'll likely do something like a Framework without an eGPU and just use a SFF desktop for gaming. I don't do much advanced gaming anymore so I don't need a lot of power for something bigger than SFF. Ju

It has a proprietary connector so they likely wanted to verify the fault wasn't in that connector.

It's okay. I probably won't do this setup again in the future, though. I think Asus had the right idea, but not the right execution. Future standards may make their proprietary solution unnecessary, also. Not say that's where

Failures happen. I've had to deal with Asus RMA only once in over a decade (I still have a monitor from 2009 that works and is in use). The only "horror" that happened was caused by FedEx, not Asus. I'm definitely upset

Can you show a metric that shows their support is dead last? Or are you going off of emotional experiences and anecdotes of others? I've owned multiple Zenbooks over the years and they've been fine. I've helped friends choose

You gamble when buying any product. No one has a 100% success rate. In my personal experience over a decade of using Asus products, I've not seen a 100% success rate, but my only one failure was recently and they took care of me. Dell
