As an aside, it’s ridiculous that video got flagged as a video for kids and suggests downloading the YouTube Kids app.

It’s weird to me too. I consume a decent amount of media but if I can’t think “oh yeah I want to watch this particular thing” I just don’t download it and it falls out of my brain. Which I’m fine with. Foundation was like that, and His Dark

What was the media bias thing? Can you describe it in more detail? What was silly about it?

Not at a better speed than the Switch itself. The new ASUS ROG Ally handheld seems to be the minimum you’d need to get a speed up through emulation.

I’d recommend renaming the file instead of straight up deleting it.

Not exactly what your asking for, but VR pinball games are excellent. They also sell pinball controllers so you can simulate the same hand positions as a real pinball machine, so while you’re wearing a headset you’re looking down at the rig

I grew up Mormon. No Mormon I’ve talked to has any problem with the church holding onto this money. They’ll say “well of course, it’s for when the temple is built in Independence, Missouri and we’re all called to live in the Promised Land u

It worked out great in 1917 when the Bolsheviks went after the rich, then the religious, then the successful farmers who had been serfs a scant 50 years before. Eventually no one competent is left to counter balance or stand against the au

Microcenter here in Overland Park, Kansas had at least one of each of the major brands of 4090s available for sale in store last week when I was there. Do people go to Best Buy to buy ultra high end graphics cards? I haven’t bought a graphi

You can avoid all these dilemmas by remembering that humans were given the divine spark, and given dominion over all animals by the one true God. Also, since animals don’t have souls and we do, it’s fine if we eat the aliens. They can’t eat

If you want to read a story that is simultaneously one of the most hilarious and bizarre stories of a potential future where AI takes over, consider Friendship is Optimal [0], which is a way better story than it has any business being. It s

I bought my AirPods Pro 2 after losing my AirPods Pro and being unable to find them. I’m fairly certain they’re in my house somewhere.

Oh so she’s the person who removes my one star review when I get a letter saying I’ll get a $25 Amazon gift card for giving the product a 5-star review? I just can’t trust Amazon reviews after that happened to me, I was so mad.

I’ve noticed in things translated from Japanese (video games, anime) there’s two features that seem constant and don’t seem to come from other languages. They seem to constantly say “in other words” and restate and clarify topics, and they

Hey, from one engineer to another, from a place of trying to be helpful, the resume looks very nice, but in the second sentence of your intro you write “use to” rather than “used to”.

No? If there were some inherent rule like that how would anything ever have gotten invented by humans? We became smarter than the apes we evolved from, I don't understand how it follows at all that something we create can't exceed

Unless Florida isn’t telling us something, and is about to become the Imperial Kingdom of DeSantis and funnel all the world’s resources into Florida, I think this will come to fruition around the same time the Saudis finish construction of

Sorry what is PG&E? I googled it, is this a reference to the power company in California? I don’t live in California so am not sure. I thought initially maybe it was some acronym for Privatize Gains and Externalize losses?

Unemployed disenfranchised highly intelligent highly motivated people is going to be very different than a bunch of unemployed McDonald’s workers. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens if nothing else.

I grew up in a trailer in a poor town. I’m a high school dropout, am in my mid thirties and became a software engineering team lead last year. I feel lucky that I make a great income that I can support my family, and nobody I work with care

I think part of this might be Spotify’s fault. I moved from Apple Music to Spotify Premium and my biggest complaint (aside from literally one SPECIFIC song I really love not being on Spotify at all) is that there is no HomePod support (you

Hahah yeah I said “Siri play classical music on Spotify” and siri said “I’m afraid I can’t do that” and then starting playing Sabaton (which is Power metal and the exact opposite of classical music). Then Siri had the gall to claim NO MUSIC

I switched from Apple Music to Spotify and have yet to figure out how to get it to play a playlist. So it’s either “tap on the screen while hurtling down the highway” or “awkwardly tell it to play each individual song after each one complet

I understand this isn’t necessarily Apple’s fault, but I bought a HomePod (which are very expensive smart speakers!) because I assumed it’d be the most convenient “smart” speaker with good audio quality. It does deliver on audio quality, b

That’s interesting because I use the same keyboard with my Mac and Windows work laptop hooked up to a dock, and Windows + Teams (where I’m doing the majority of my actual typing words not code in a day) constantly has weird artifacts of swi

I lost 80 pounds eating hot dogs and kimchi for about six months. No exercise at all. I don’t know what this means exactly only that people act like I’m crazy when I mention it.
