  • Getting rid of white line for minimizing apps

    Jump

  • It is... if it's a screen from 2015.

    I keep my phones for 2-3+ years and I haven't managed to get burn-in since the Nexus 6P. I'd say anything newer than a Pixel 3 is free from burn in unless you do something weird (like a demo unit in a store displaying the same image 14 hours a day).

  • 72% of devs believe Steam has a monopoly on PC games, according to study

    Jump

  • Devs ≠ C-Suite Execs

  • 'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells

    Jump

  • It might not be sexy, but I'd argue it doesn't need AI to be.

    Take the SMEG ones as an example - they're not my cup of tea, but the amount of people who are willing to pay a premium for a fridge that doesn't do anything special other than looking nice shows clearly that.

  • China's first real gaming GPU is here, and the benchmarks are brutal

    Jump

  • I think it's ok, the comment literally says "according to Lisuan". Which I see as factually correct - that's the marketing claim, or the performance according to them, just like Teslas have been self-driving according to Tesla since 2012.

  • Are UK buy-to-let landlords dying out – and should we care?

    Jump

  • “It will cost me an extra £2,500 a year,” said France, who owns seven properties in Merseyside and Essex, including three homes in Chelmsford, which are houses of multiple occupancy.

    “I can’t absorb that kind of hit. We’ve already been hammered by rising interest rates and other changes to the sector, and I’ve tried to feed that through gently to tenants. But I had to write to all of them and say I’ve had to do some recalculations and rents will be going up again from next year.”

    How much are they making a year off seven properties? Isn't £2500 the same 2-5% cost of living hike we've all seen? Hell some people who commute to London have taken that yearly hit (or almost) on public transport price hikes alone!

  • Elon Musk’s AI Grok Goes Rogue with Posts Suggesting Trump Is a Pedophile and Erika Kirk Is JD Vance in Drag

    Jump

  • You're making it sound like it's choosing to misgender her, it's not. It's not fucked up because it's a text extruder making a mistake, there's no good or bad intention here. It's shitty because the current state of glorified hallucinating autocorrects is shitty, but not because evil Grok is choosing to do anything.

  • Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm not going to defend training AI with copyrighted works... But I'm not going to waste energy siding with anyone who was okay with X. If you stayed in X, you'vr made your own bed. Now don't cry because the owner is an AI-pandering nazi, we all knew that already.

  • US Game Console Sales Crater in Worst November in Two Decades

    Jump

  • Capitalism loves using supply and demand to justify anything... up until it's time to lower the price to adapt to low demand.

  • Anti-Trans Groups Want a Bathroom Ban. Judges Aren’t Giving Them One

    Jump

  • This is ridiculous. If it goes into effect, the same women will complain when they see a big trans man full of tattoos in the women's bathroom because the law has forced them to go there.

    Purely and simply transphobia.

  • Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price.

    Jump

  • Still debatable, the weights are the code. That's a bit like saying "X software is not open source because it has equations but it doesn't include the proofs that they're derived from".

  • Open source KWGT alternative Sukko

    Jump

  • I have a Xiaomi, which typically is on the bad list of "dontkillmyapp" but with a bit of knowledge and care I've had zero issues.

    You just have to know not to let the phone kill apps if you don't want them killed 🤷‍♂️ but I guess many users can't understand that.

  • Open source KWGT alternative Sukko

    Jump

  • I get that vivo phones aren't supported, but the energy and messaging is very off here. "Vivo - no, lol" "open an issue or buy pixel".

    There's no need to be a condescending dick to your users, you can just write "phones with aggressive task managers might kill the app and break updates".

    Plus I don't think anybody sane is "buying pixel" just to access a widget app. 🙄

  • Ubuntu Touch OTA-1.1 Rolls Out with VoLTE Support for Fairphone 4, Volla Phone 22

    Jump

  • Oh, I guess I'm out of the loop, I thought this project was dead!

  • Porsche Cars in Russia Shut Down After Satellite System Failure

    Jump

  • In 2025? Is that even a thing?

  • Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy

    Jump

  • When flagships cost $500 I would keep them for 2 years. Now they cost $1000 I expect them to last twice as long. 🤷‍♂️ "The market" isn't only dictated by supply, it's supply and demand. It cuts both ways.

  • Kamehameha or something

    Jump

  • My health insurance (Axa in the UK, through my employer) has a neurodivergent diagnosis/support service.

    After doing a self assessment, I booked an appointment with a regular doctor and said I suspect I might have ADHD because of [assessment] and [list of symptoms].

    They said something along the lines of "that's enough evidence to at least suspect it", then referred me onwards to the other service (ProblemShared) which did first a preliminary assessment and then a formal diagnosis.

  • Kamehameha or something

    Jump

  • Do some (reliable) self tests (there are some official ones, I'm sure someone can advise). It's very quick and you'll learn more about yourself.

    I'm diagnosed now, but before that, the way I saw this was: even if I don't actually have ADHD, if I know I have ADHD-like symptoms/behaviours, I can learn and use the coping strategies of ADHD individuals to make my life easier. (Which was right except for the fact that I, indeed, turned out to have not only the symptoms but actual ADHD).

  • NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I've seen this happen before, in Spain.

    The national flag of Spain, when used by an individual, rarely ever represents "I love Spain and all that it entails" but rather "I have right-wing views, I only accept the catholic religion, gays aren't natural, and immigrants should go back to their own countries".

    I don't know if it can be taken back to just be the national flag, but if it can, Spain hasn't managed to achieve it in the 20 years since it devolved into a narrow political symbol.
