For a few weeks, YouTube thought I wanted to see videos of package thieves being surprised by a booby-trapped box that was actually a glitter bomb. Video after video were these AI created shorts of supposed doorbell camera footage showing a

Eh, as someone who isn't terribly interested in seeing non-stop low effort promotion of garbage AI products, I don't mind that they congregate on a site I rarely visit.

That's how Procreate works as well. When you paste, it pastes into a new layer and then you can decide if you want to merge it down or not.

The bottom tier is a one-time $15 purchase, the top tier is only $29. That doesn't seem all that evil...

I don't think it's actually supposed to be an argument. It's just a Redditism that occasionally pops up here.

> game of chance or skill The line isn't all the clear, is it? Is poker skill or chance? What about betting on a horse? Or buying a stock option?

Just as one can say the neocortex named itself, it's your brain declaring that it is conscious. If ten years from now your phone tells you it is conscious, would you believe it? What criteria would you use to decide?

It's a bummer that the show will never play with original music on some streaming service due to (as I understand it) music licensing problems.

When I saw the Googlebook announcement this week I was super excited until I saw that the hardware will be made by the usual crew of under-performers - HP, ASUS, Dell, etc... Google could (I think) do a lot of it in house like Apple does

The article says the CPU costs Apple less than $50. Why aren't these types of chips for laptops more popular in the Windows and Linux world? Where are the Dell and Framework laptops that can compete with this thing on price, quality, a

Buy one and try it. Apple returns are hassle free in my experience.

Apple has never really cared about games unless it's on the iPhone or iPad. It's worked out well for them though. Mobile gaming is a $100 billion dollar market, PC gaming and console gaming are each about half that.

I use Steam Link on my AppleTV which lets me play games on my PC. It works great as long as the game works well with a PS5 controller (and lots of them do).

That's like a 16 year old saying the auto insurance game is rigged because they are a very good driver but can't get cheap insurance. Maybe your rates are high because of the risk pool you are in.

On the radio I heard a reporter talking about things China does during school exams. Apparently all schools have exams at the same time and during that period, social media shuts down at night. I forget the exact hours (10pm - 6am maybe). I

For some of these, you have to use them on the actual hardware to understand why so many of us are bummed about what we have lost. The latency of modern systems is kind of bonkers. Even though the machines were incredibly slow they feel fas

You can do interesting things in the scroll bar. Some coding editors (like Visual Studio) cram a lot of useful information into the scroll bar. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/how-to-tr...

I've come to believe Apple's way is probably the only sustainable way. I'm a Windows user who also develops for Windows desktop and it's kind of sad that even though Windows has a way larger desktop share, there just isn

Developers may or may not pass on the fees to customers, but as a user I'm not forced to pay anything and it definitely doesn't apply to all activity on the phone. I pay the same for Netflix as any Android user does. My cell bil

Are you saying that if you were to dig in to this, you would forget about other things? These distraction comments always sound a little condescending to me. They are all over Reddit and it's a bit of a bummer to see it taking off he
