  • Incel propaganda in my music app

    Jump

  • There's actually a simpler explanation. Companies will purposefully make their products worse to keep you using them longer. By prioritizing the algorithm over your search results you're staying in the app longer, seeing more algo suggestions, and more likely to give up on your search and click something else.

    Good examples of this are Google purposefully crippling their own search, or Netflix making it impossible to see what movies they actually have. So they kneecap the product. What are you going to do? Stop using it? If the answer is no, then there's room to make it just a little worse...

  • NVIDIA confirms GeForce RTX GPU shortage for 2026

    Jump

  • What bag? Gamer's are so small to NVIDIA now he's not accountable to them in the slightest. Even when the AI bubble pops it will have made some people filthy rich. Unless NVIDIA is bankrupted he'll be a hero.

  • Nvidia delivers first Vera Rubin AI GPU samples to customers — 88-core Vera CPU paired with Rubin GPUs with 288 GB of HBM4 memory apiece

    Jump

  • I know you put /S, but for other people that read this it will not be an option. These only work in specialised servers that you will not he able to run at home (unless you're a mad scientists type).

  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

    Jump

  • It's not even ECC RAM that's the issue, it's that they're not making DDR ram at all, it's HBM RAM which is totally different. That and the GPUs are custom solutions that slot into specialty liquid cooled server chassis with proprietary connecters and everything. It's simply not for anything except for it's current purpose in a server.

    I know how you feel, it's too bad this is impacting Valve. I really want their new controller which won't be hit by this, but I expect they're still going to wait and release it with the other products.

  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

    Jump

  • The problem is it's manufacturing capacity that is being bought. They're going to use that capacity to build HBM modules and data centre GPUs that cannot run outside of specialized servers. There will be a lot of high end gear gathering dust, but nothing you or I can use.

    Maybe if you're a large business/enterprise you could get some hardware on the cheap during the crash, but it's not ot like those things are full of DDR5 DIMMs and RTX GPUs.

  • Europe Closes Ranks on Ukraine as Hesitation Gives Way to Urgency

    Jump

  • I'm apalled that the world has let Ukraine languish for so long doing the bare minimum. Anyone could see that the Russian invasion was a precedent setting moment that needed to be repelled swiftly.

  • Over 300 Malicious Chrome Extensions Caught Leaking or Stealing User Data

    Jump

  • It's more that Vivaldi is just Chrome under the hood.

  • Here's how I fixed my Steam Deck when it stopped turning on.

    Jump

  • God forbid people "suffer" by watching a completely voluntary video of someone trying to help others. Look, I didn't watch the video, but no matter how long it was it's got supposedly helpful information in it and we should be thankful someone's taking the time to post at all.

    It's not their job to put it in a format you like, just move on and don't be an entitled ass about it. I'm sure your parents taught you if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

  • Over 300 Malicious Chrome Extensions Caught Leaking or Stealing User Data

    Jump

  • Good for you! I got fed up with Chrystler and I'm never buying from them again. From now on I'm only buying Dodge!

  • What desktop operating system would you recommend to the average user?

    Jump

  • I respect your opinion, but it's not one that will be held by average users.

  • I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

    Jump

  • That's what sparked it here too, a 911 issue with early android phones. They were going to ban several models outright since they couldn't confirm you did the update if you BYOD or were on custom roms, but eventually settled on a waiver that you could sign absolving them of any liability if you kept your phone.

    I can see the perspective of the telcos but outright bans is just not the answer, especially since they make money from the sale of new phones. It re-enforces their monopoly and keeps everyone reliant on them for phones (which they love). The only way to fix this is through the government.

  • I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

    Jump

  • Canadian telcos did this 15 years ago, but I haven't heard of behaviour like this in a long time. You need to write a complaint to your government.

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • It's people that don't want to have to maintain things, which I understand. It's trivial these days to host a forum with a cloud provider, or have a github, but Discord is one click. It's not the ideal tool, but one click, no payment, and you have a place everyone can talk to each other.

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • Key word there is "for a time".

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • I used to agree with you, but their prices have gone up and they've been transforming themselves into a high end lifestyle brand.

    My Charge is now almost 20 years old and still going strong, so I'm nit saying their products are bad, but I'm not seeing real innovation come out of them and I'd honestly say for most people a Wave clone is probably good enough. They're totally phoning it in on small tools as well, China is way ahead of them on design.

  • 'No One Should Have a Copyright on Vance Being Booed': Video From Olympics Blocked on X

    Jump

  • Yeah? Their specialised immigration police? Interesting, I didn't know that. /s

  • Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don't know what he's talking about. Forever Canadian got over 400k signatures before the rules got changed to make it easier. I signed it while wandering around a festival where they had a booth set up. That signature was not exciting, but it was no-brainer.

    The sepratists have a rabid fan base that will line up around the block to sign, but that's it. After that they have nothing. They are firmly in the minority with only 20-30% considering it. That tracks with the average for idiots in a population that will vote for anything.

  • Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now.

    Jump

  • Exactly. This is the killer feature that Nova has. So far the only launcher I've seen that has something similar is Action Launcher. I have been using it for the last couple weeks and when it works it works well. However when furst setting it up it would alwaus crash. I just launched jt over and over again until it didn't? Development seems pretty slow as well.

    I'd love to use Lawn Chair, but swipe up folders are part of my organization and a must.

  • Canada is becoming its own best customer

    Jump

  • The bike argument doesn't forget these factors at all, in fact it makes them better. No one says everyone MUST bike. You can still have a car, and with more people biking there will be less people on the road, reducing congestion.
