I put my Nintendo switch under a pop up panel with the spare tire in the trunk of my car and forgot about it. Searched through the whole house and most of the car a week later and assumed it was stolen. I found it when I needed jumper cables about a year later…

If it’s just an installer check then people could just use the old installer versions and update afterward right? Or are they planning on stopping updates for unsupported hardware that already installed windows 11?

They own the botnet.

I just dont connect the TV to the internet and hook a separate media center up to the HDMI port.

As long as the creator knows what they’re getting into when they make a paid subreddit it doesn’t really bother me. And it’s honestly probably a good plan monetarily for reddit. But just like when games started adding microtransactions it’s likely to change the core of reddit even further from what I used to like about it. But I’m on lemmy now anyway…

He’s trying to claim that companies colluded to stop advertising on X and that violates antitrust laws.

But it’s strange because this refusal to advertise on twitter doesn’t really harm competition in anyway. Concerted refusal to deal is supposed to be like when 3 big bad companies want to hurt a smaller competitive company so they get together and boycott any suppliers that deal with this competitor or force them to get a worse deal.

The companies GARM (Global Alliance for Responsible Media) represents are big enough (90% of advertising $) but they aren’t really competitors to twitter. If say facebook and tiktok got together and told GARM they wouldn’t run any of their ads unless they stopped working with twitter that would be much more in the spirit of the law.

But Twitter might still have a tiny bit of a case if they can prove they met GARM’s standards but were still excluded anyway. I doubt that’s enough for any major payouts though unless the judge is crazy. And honestly I think it’s still dumb because even if GARM settles it just tells advertisers “Okay you can advertise on twitter if you want they meet our standards”…but are advertisers really going to want to advertise on the site that just sued them?

Also I don’t even think GARM prohibits members from advertising with companies it doesn’t recommend and just offers suggestions, which makes this case even more insane if that’s true. In that situation it’s like the health inspector gives a restaurant a “D” and the restaurant sues customers for not eating there anymore.

I’m assuming this is going to be more like a creator space type thing like patreon/OF. It will make reddit worse of course because patreon and OF already exist we don’t need reddit for that but as long as they aren’t trying to paywall user generated content on existing subs I don’t really care that much tbh.

If they paywall my old comments that I’ve left up to help others I’m going to go back and delete them.

Chromecast naming scheme did get weird - it’s difficult for someone who doesn’t follow these things to know if they want the chromecast ultra or chromecast with google tv. I agree though they should have just called the new product something like “Chromecast Box 2025”.

I guess onn is going to completely take over the low price streaming box market then.

Yeah exactly, as a tool that doesn’t need to be perfect to give you a starting point it’s excellent. But companies sort of forgot the “as a tool” part and are just implementing ai outright in places it’s not ready yet like drive-thru windows or voice only interface devices…it’s not ready for that shit currently (if it ever truly will be).

Honestly they’re still impressive and useful it’s just the hype train overload and trying to implement them in areas they either don’t fit or don’t work well enough yet.

Damn I actually watched this is exact video about three weeks ago…

They probably will at least RMA the really frequently crashing ones. To my knowledge they self-reported when they discovered the problem and the fix so they’d be looking at a lawsuit if they didn’t do at least that.

How much further beyond that they’ll go is what we still have to see. If they have a crazy number of CPUs still dying at 4-5 years old and don’t cover with an extended warranty than fuck em…But we have to wait and see what they actually do first before making that judgement.

People are freaking out about the lack of a recall but intel says their patch that will supposedly stop currently working cpus from experiencing the overvolt condition that is leading to the failure. So they don’t really need to do a recall if currently working CPUs will stay working with the patch in place. As long as they offer some sort of free extended warranty and a good RMA proccess for the CPUs that are already damaged I feel it’s fine.

If they RMA with a bump in perf for those affected it might even be positive PR like “they stand by their products” but if they’re stingy with responsibility then we should obviously give them hell. We really have to see how they handle this.

My balls just got 18% bigger when you said that.

Good news. Anything but fossil fuels at this point.

If you use a private website for your social media we just loop back to where we are right now in a few years. Even if it seems great now there will eventually be enshittification.

I had access to everything legit and still mainly sailed the high seas. I just prefer to have all the content centralised and local.

My wife used to prefer the streaming apps but she really converted and thought I was a genius when we went for 2 months with constant isp internet drops for hours at a time.

If google really does away with adblockers I expect many more will follow. I’m not even against unobtrusive ads but the few times I’ve been away from my own pihole / ublock browser setup and rawdogged the internet those ads were next level obnoxious. I can’t live like that.
