  • The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020

    Jump

  • I think the reason it's sold so many copies is because it's been on perpetual sale everywhere. People were majorly against buying it and that dampened some people's interest initially but when the game is $5, a lot of people will buy it just because it's cheap.

  • Animal Crossing was a birthday gift. And technically Stadia refunded my money for Cyberpunk.

  • It's crazy that I only own two of these games and they couldn't be more different. Animal Crossing and Cyberpunk 2077.

  • That's ok, I don't want to see the shop anymore anyway.

  • I use reader mode pretty often on news websites. That's the main use case for me.

  • Mostly this is for sites I click on links to that do paywall banners honestly. That's what I use it for. Most of the places I go to I could exclude or whitelist and be fine.

  • I should do this. This is an amazing idea.

  • Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?

    Jump

  • We have a wireless Android Auto dongle. And it takes an age to auto connect. Not to mention the problems with it still wanting us to pull over and put the car in park to switch, something I thought would be circumvented when I bought it but somehow is not. Usually it's the person in the passenger seat trying to change something and not being able to. I'm not advocating for distracted driving. I'm pointing out that someone else in the vehicle who's not driving can't interact to change certain things even though it's perfectly safe for them to do so.

  • Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?

    Jump

  • It's a Honda. But that's exactly the point I'm trying to make here. With both car play and Android Auto I have issues but they're down to how the manufacturer chose to implement each. Car manufacturers deliberately hamstrung these features and still didn't get what they wanted.

  • Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?

    Jump

  • I have equally bad experiences with both Android Auto and Apple Carplay. I don't really want either and am fine with what I've got (only 1/3 of the cars I own even has Carplay/Android Auto). I mostly dislike how it's been implemented with "safety controls" that require the phone to be plugged into the infotainment center in some cars and the requirement that I only connect it while at a stop with the car in park. If someone is driving with me and they want to change to their phone I have to pull over and that's stupid.

    The infotainment centers themselves with their stupid touch screens and lack of buttons are where my real problems start, and the end with the tracking BS and telemetry data. You can keep the new cars. I don't want them.

  • We Had 400 People Shop For Groceries. What We Found Will Shock You. (Instacart caught using AI to jack up prices)

    Jump

  • It will not shock me. It might irritate me but I fully expect instacart to do corpo BS.

  • The Ritual Shaming of the Woman at the Coldplay Concert

    Jump

  • No. No. I think you misunderstood. I'm not saying people should have ill will toward her. I'm saying that the ill will is an expected part of how society functions when a person gets notoriety for doing something wrong.

    If she had been outed by the papers in a less public way, people she doesn't know who we're were not affected by her actions would still be judging her.

    Most people would judge the average person who got caught cheating if they knew about it.

    She had to know going into her relation with a married man that there was the potential to get caught. She had to know it would be unlikely to receive anything but vitriol from people who've been cheated on. She went along with it anyway.

    There's a possibility that because of the power dynamic between her and a man who was her boss, she was taken advantage of. That's why I brought up and compared her to Monica Lewinsky. However I don't have energy to waste on worrying about what ifs.

    I don't follow the story and didn't even really remember her until this post popped up. I can't even tell you what her name is without googling it. I'd wager most people are equally ambivalent. It's most likely a very loud minority of people who remember and are giving her shit about this.

  • The Ritual Shaming of the Woman at the Coldplay Concert

    Jump

  • If she were a celebrity would we feel the same?

    Because really what it comes down to is she knowingly helped a high profile person cheat and got caught. I'm not saying she deserves it. I'm not saying it's a good thing. To me this is on par with the whole Monica Lewinsky thing.

    I personally bear this woman no ill will. But I also don't really think we should be expected to have empathy for something she did to herself because she couldn't think ahead to what the potential repercussions of her actions were.

  • Here's the thing. She knew. And while it's none of my business, if you're going to cheat, you gotta be prepared to be caught and shamed. Humans being what they are.

  • Male Student Allegedly Created AI Nudes of 13-Year-Old Girl & School Suspended Her, Not Him

    Jump

  • He's 13 not 7. I feel like he did know better. That's why he didn't own up to it when he and his classmates were questioned by school officials.

  • I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

    Jump

  • Yeah. Looks like RootmyTV is only for older models of LG TVs and that's kind of sad.

  • I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

    Jump

  • I haven't but that's probably because I don't use it to do anything that would require that. Like. Everything (switching inputs, volume etc) is handled by my receiver. The devices that are hooked up to the receiver all have their settings on device.

    It may also depend on what firmware your TV came with and what model you have?

    Sorry I can't be more help.

  • I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

    Jump

  • Interesting. But my house basically is a faraday cage. I have no signal outside it from my wifi or any of the others because of the way they were constructed. I have to have wifi repeaters indoors and a mobile repeater setup to get cell coverage inside.

    So I guess I'm lucky in that respect.

    But all in all this is good information for people to know including me. Thanks for that.

  • It can't send screen shots if it doesn't connect to the internet. I own an LG TV and it's never been connected to a network.

    For those of you who need it:

    1. Press the Settings button on your remote (the gear icon).
    2. When the side menu pops up, select Settings.
    3. Choose the General option.
    4. Scroll down and select System.

    5, Select Additional Settings.

    1. Toggle Live Plus off.

  • How AI broke the smart home in 2025

    Jump

  • I have a gripe with this article and it's the way that their "expert" Riedl talks about AI and the anthropomorphic personification inherent in the language he uses.

    AI doesn't think. It can't overthink. It doesn't "misunderstand". It doesn't understand. It doesn't do context. So while I understand that this person is trying to communicate the differences between these two types of technology, this gives an unreasonable overestimation of the techs capabilities, making some people believe the tech is more than it is.

    Some people on another thread about the same article were upset that this writer bought a coffee machine with AI integration. But that's to be expected of people who write about tech. They try that tech out. Experience it so they can write about it. See what it does. What it's good at. What it's bad at. This is how we get reviews.
