A little more punctuation would have made it easier, and it took me a little while. Once it finally clicked for me, I actually found it an interesting point I haven't heard before. That the main cause of the satanic panic was a fear th

I also find that interesting. And not intending to defend the motives of anyone involved, but I'm hoping we can not worry about literally all jobs being destroyed, and AI companies amassing all the wealth in the world. Don't we ne

I agree that these movies are really being cranked out. I hadn't even realised quite the extent of this until I went to look. But I think some of these movies are good enough that it shouldn't be disturbing that people in influent

I'm going to write a silly comment here: For a moment I thought you wrote "... LLMs. Yeah, they're transformative, but I don't know that they're going to be eating ramen in a Neo-Tokyo street bar anytime soon.&quo

Piggybacking off your comment to advertise my new favourite. Very quick, and gets me having some of the protein powder I'm supposed to be drinking anyway. Does result in having to wash a blender though :) Blend: - Instant coffee (caffe

My favourite recent discovery is Assistive Access in the iOS Accessibility settings. You pick the apps you want access to (and set privacy permissions), then when you launch the mode your iPhone only shows those apps. If you feel a sudden c

I like this, and I agree with the sentiment! But does anyone else feel we might need to cross the search engine off this list soon? Since whatever happened which is reducing the usefulness of Google search (Search Engine Optimisation?), is

I have no idea about the 0.5% increase in drop goal distance, but tongue-in-cheek, I would say only 0.5% as many attempted drop goals - given the Fijian team's emphasis on a ball-in-hand style of play instead of kicking the ball away.

I've given this a little more thought, and I agree more with "Windows really does suck from a UX perspective" then I was thinking when I wrote my comment. I really should have included the recent escalation in hostility towar

I agree completely about each being good for its own thing. I quite like iOS as a phone OS. The limitations often bother me, but since it's tiny screen that needs to fit in my pocket, I'm creating my own limitations anyway so I&#x

I found reading mode worked perfectly. It usually does for me, and for a while I actually set it to enable by default for all websites with manual exceptions. The cases where it doesn’t work well are usually very long articles which load in

I agree with the replies to this saying that the fact it could lead to drama should not prevent people doing things like this, but I can see this causing trouble/resentment too. I think a lot of the other unasked for examples given cou

I remember when I was searching the file for some passwords my friends and family use, it took me a while to work out that number too. There are some passwords that many people seem to independently come up with and think must be reasonably

I was going to provide my passwords to any random person on the internet, Troy Hunt might be close to the top of the list, but I think your sentiment is sensible. I remember searching the dataset being fairly straight forward. It's bee

Thanks! I only knew HP as the some computers and shitty printers company (and I realise that I swapped your adjectives, but I feel this way around is more deserved)

I never had a very strong opinion about HP products either way, so I can't really discuss how much they have declined, but are they so dead? I am typing this message on very average HP keyboard, connected to an HP EliteBook and some HP

Thanks for reminding me of that! I considered that when I was finding it hard to find a passive PoE injector. It's not quite as tidy, for example, with the router sitting visibly on a desk, but it's close. And you're right th

I recently needed to buy a new power supply for my Mikrotik router (hAP ac²), so I decided to just buy a Ubiquiti PoE injector instead. It feels magical to have the PoE injector tucked in a cupboard with the optical network terminal, and ou

My comment is going to be like a tangent to a tangent, but since it's about Bitcoin it sort of comes back to the original topic. I agree about digital payments, but one of the things that I found disappointingly complex about Bitcoin i

I agree with your feeling that about Apple devices eventually getting updates to the point they becomes sluggish. I have just reached that point with iOS 26 and my iPhone 13 mini. I am undecided in my thoughts about how malicious this is. D

by red369 1y ago
I think it is probably only a hardware issue in the sense that the iPhone 13 mini is probably too old/slow to run iOS 26 as quickly as the old version. I updated my old/spare phone - an iPhone SE3, which I think has a similar proc

I agree with what you said about brakes overcoming the engine. I've seen tests which show it works on even monstrously over-powered cars, but it can feel like it's not working and if the driver reacts wrongly to that, then it may

I was with a friend in a 5L V8 Mercedes, and we were doing a quick drive around the block after some sort of maintenance. He floored the accelerator - I can't remember why that was required, except I assume it wasn't. I assumed he

I've had that recurring nightmare too - I forgot about that! I've only had a little real world experience with it. I'm curious if anyone has had the nightmare without having experienced it in real life. I owned a late 80s Cor

I think you're more likely talking about the growing divide between people's viewpoints, but the USA always made more sense to me when I viewed it as union of 50 different countries, with some over-arching laws over the top. More
