  • if you have weird double monitors

    Is having more than one monitor "weird" to most Linux distros? I guess I'm a huge weirdo for having 3 then...

  • I'm biased because I love it, but disc golf is a great sport to chill and play with buddies (assuming you can get them into it too). It has a low cost for entry - a few beginner discs won't cost much, and lots of courses are either free to play or cheap for a round. It won't make you a muscleman or anything, but it can build some arm, shoulder, and core strength if you play enough.

  • Chatbot = basically free

    Yearly employee = probably about $100k incl benefits

    Should they hire a person? Absolutely. Will they if they can get away with it? Aww hell naw.

  • This Windows tool makes it super easy to debloat and cut down ads on your Android TV

    Jump

  • I have this blocked with Blokada locally on my Shield and can confirm it works great. I also prefer the stock launcher just without all the ad junk.

    I recently bought a TCL TV with Android TV and I was hoping this trick would work with it but it didn't. So if anyone knows how to make the TCL Android TV launcher interface "stock" and stay that way feel free to point it out.

  • There is no reason why this shouldn't be on GitHub since it's likely just a bunch of ADB commands anyway. In the Reddit thread the author repeatedly refused to acknowledge or address the calls to make the tool open source. No thanks, seems too shady to me.

  • Some Beeper users say Apple banned their Macs from iMessage

    Jump

  • I don't think anyone here is blaming the users, the comments are saying they shouldn't be surprised.

    Users blatantly violate TOS > company bans account > shocked Pikachu face

    I agree with the above commenter that they should have expected this. I remember watching SnazzyLabs video about Beeper when it was about to come out, and the video essentially said 'people have been doing this for awhile, I don't think Apple will care about Beeper' and I thought oh yes they will.

    Do I think Apple is in the right here? No. Am I surprised they're taking this action? Also no.

  • Why is there no USB-C (female) to mini-B (male) adapter?

  • I have a pack of these, although perhaps not this specific brand. I swear by them. Mini and micro usb can die in a fire please.

  • YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers

  • they make money from harvesting your data then showing you ads based on that data

    That's part of it, yes. But they can also sell ad companies demographic data - males aged 25-44 clicked on this or looked at that for example.

    Google probably makes more like $50 per user per year on average

    I highly doubt the number is that low.

  • they've got to make money somehow

    But they have been, and for years. All the years I've run a smartphone Google has harvested and profited from my data. From Gmail to Chrome (before I switched) to Maps, etc - they have profited from people's data at scale. So the argument that they need to make money somehow falls flat for me.

    Also, if they charged like $2 a year to block ads, plenty of people would buy it. But like most things lately, the enshitification of our user experience continues. It's not enough for companies like Google to "make money" - it's never enough and their greed has no boundaries.

    That's why you see people like us pushing back - enough is enough.
