I asked Bard and Samsung started making IP57 phones during the Galaxy S4 era with its "Active" brand.

Electronics and gadgets are the easiest to search. As I said on another post, the forums I used to visit back in 2000s-2010s are still around. Reddit is just SEO optimized but not the be all and all for answers for that. Google is still pre

Can you give me an example of what you search so I can see what unusable you're talking about?

Their app and site sucks. 3rd party apps exist because of that. They can't accept that its their fault.

They do but in this day and age the information asymmetry is not that huge or isn't there anymore (depending on the customer). They put up a good face to hook you in. My experience is that they become less enthusiastic (to say the leas

It's complete bullshit. I despise both car dealerships and realtors. They exist to service themselves.

For my hobbies (vinyl, headphones, audio gear, android), the forums are still the superior way to interact with other hobbyists. Some of these forums have been around since early 2000s are still around and very active.

The one login for multiple forums as nice but I wouIdn't mind it if they fold. But not HN. Today, I can just spin up a dedicated forum browser and save all the username-password there in isolation.

Slimq makes a wide range of GAN chargers all the way up to 330W. There are review of their 240W charger on YouTube that provides fair critiques in their design and Slimq also responds thoughtfully. I'm looking to get a 330W charger for

If moderates need to grow some balls and actually move the overton window closer to them, companies wouldn't need to be afraid of brand safety.

Some subs can't have images or ban memes. It's the fault of mods if content is LQ. The tools are there. Some subs won't let you post if you're account is new or you have low karma. What Reddit should've done is dele

As a moderate, new > old Twitter. A lot of progressives left because they're not favored and lost their echo chamber.

If you count manipulation through mass media, social media and speech then AI is already doing harm.

I think the problem is that moderates think you can have democracy without having to participate in politics which can sometimes become costly. Extremists already accepted the costs and reap the rewards (control, influnce, power) because pe

Margin accounts aren't that exclusive. I opened a margin account just because but I've never dipped into it. It's just a tool and if you know how to use it, good for you.

this is what happens when you let the patients manage the hospital. similar to what's happening in politics. the left and right extremists dictate the narratives. i can only dream when moderates gain some balls and put each extremes in

no system is perfect but twitter is much better now. i'd rather support "not progressives" than progressives.

4chan is indeed not the ideal but the current reddit isn't ideal either because it leans too much progressive. i would like to prune both extremes.

I recall that my wired earphone/headphone acts as an antenna for the LG v20 but I think it was for FM but no AM. I can't check again because I removed the stock OS for LineageOS.

The world has moved on. Rick Beato also laments about the future of musicianship because of software tooks and how kids prefer to watch someone do something more than to do the thing.

This is a good thing. Both have overstayed their welcome. Vice made interesting stories in the early 2010s and I watched some of it. The founder of Vice has been so far removed from where he started that he just DGAF. I really didn't c

When I read people on reddit say stupid shit like eat the rich, I always get downvoted for going against those coommie/anti-work types. But sometimes like now maybe they are right even if I know its wrong.

My idea of basics would be like you can't out exercise your eating habits. Don't have a sedentary life. Supplements might not be ideal as opposed to sourcing everything from food but it goes a long way.

Capitalism is untenable and I say that with frustration as someone who was able to do better after growing up lower-middle class (kinda poor). AI is already displacing some people from their work. I hate both absolute capitalism and sociali
