  • How do I get rid of this Gemini crap?

    Jump

  • Most TVs are dumb if you never hook them up to the Internet. I don't allow my OLEDs on the Internet generally and simply use a different device to stream and do all the things (webOS is actually pretty cool but LG is obnoxious like this sometimes). Even if your TV is good enough, this shit happens anyway. At least if my shield gets obnoxious, I can replace it with a different device.

  • Americans warned of grocery prices shock

    Jump

  • Seriously. They all said they felt better than before but the dude barely said anything worthwhile. So disappointing it's the exact same hand wringing bullshit where they say "we just need to get the message out" instead of actually doing shit differently. Jon really did try to get more out of him but he stayed on message like 80% of the time like a true politician.

  • Same. First time trying because they were insanely cheap. They're also disgusting. Way too much fake sugar.

  • Walgreens CEO says anti-shoplifting strategy backfired: 'When you lock things up…you don't sell as many of them’

    Jump

  • Yeah most of them are like this. That's why it's the one place where self checkout was actually an improvement. Because they never had anyone at the fucking registers before that anyway. I try to never go there but at least now I don't have to wait an eternity if I have to go there.

  • Justice Department accuses Visa of debit network monopoly that impacts price of 'nearly everything’

    Jump

  • What are you referencing specifically? I work in payments and I've never heard of this IBM code. The card networks just use an ISO format and every front end is different (the two we have are completely different in very fundamental ways though they are definitely both old as fuck).

  • California's 'click to cancel' subscription bill is signed into law

    Jump

  • I assure you they won't. It's not going to be that expensive to only show an option if you're in California. Companies already do this with other things like privacy related stuff.

    If the company is already a scumbag company that makes it impossible to cancel, this will only stop them where they have to follow a law.

  • The $700 PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a disc drive

    Jump

  • If you wait for a good sale, digital is sometimes cheap or cheaper. I just go with whatever is cheapest at any given moment.

  • Tumblr to move its half a billion blogs to WordPress

    Jump

  • Kind of the old Windows vs Mac problem though. It gets so many exploits because it is so ridiculously popular. No one is going to bother looking for exploits in shit that no one uses right? I'm sure they've got problems like any project but I'm not convinced they're THAT bad. Not to mention a lot of exploits you see are plugins doing dumb shit, not WP itself.

  • Not all ai is bad, just most of it

    Jump

  • Yeah I've been using it to help my novice ass code stuff for my website and it's been incredible. There's some stuff I thought yeah I'm probably never gonna get around to this that I rocketed through in an AFTERNOON. That's what I want AI for. Not shitty customer service.

  • Nova Launcher, savior of cruft-filled Android phones, is on life support

    Jump

  • Thank you. I've been thinking the same thing. People keep posting things that aren't remotely close to Nova. I'm beginning to think there's just nothing else at their level. Lawnchair seems like the closest so far but it's still not customizable enough and the Google feed implementation randomly broke and I couldn't get it to work again (amongst other annoyances and performance issues).

  • Senators unveil bipartisan deal on stock trading ban

    Jump

  • I don't disagree with you. Progress is progress. I just wish it was more.

  • Senators unveil bipartisan deal on stock trading ban

    Jump

  • I dunno maybe they should be subject to more stringent rules like people at banks and such? If you can just trade your stocks right before you pass a law, what's the point of the new rule? That's part of why they're under fire in the first place isn't it? They have insider information. Saying you can't trade after the fact seems like it's too late to me. Maybe I didn't explain that well idk.

  • Senators unveil bipartisan deal on stock trading ban

    Jump

  • AFTER BEING SIGNED INTO LAW seems like a huge loophole to me. They can just trade while they're talking about it or right after it passes but hasn't been signed, etc etc.

  • Real

    Jump

  • He shits on everyone all the time. It's not exclusive to LG or even Apple. It's just whatever happens to come to his attention. Which is basically pick a company and they're doing something horrible.

  • Judge orders surprise release of Epstein transcripts

    Jump

  • Yeah I think the ruling was garbage too but I'm getting tired of the overly dramatic hot takes on this everywhere. Nuance is dead.

  • The Distribution of Users’ Computer Skills: Worse Than You Think (2016)

    Jump

  • Yeah this is very much not that they don't understand there's a better way. It's that they don't care to look up how. It's pretty common. People just go oh I don't know computers and you get whatever random crap they could throw together with zero effort lol.

  • Vanguard just went live and LoL players are already claiming it's bricking their PCs

    Jump

  • Yes

  • How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?

    Jump

  • I opted weekly so I could store longer time periods. If I want to go a month back I just need 4 instead of 30. At least that was the main Idea. I've definitely realized I fucked something up weeks ago without noticing before lol.

  • I have weekly backups of my VMs in Proxmox. Fuck it lol.
