You get that idea because no one actually browses the internet anymore. All people ever do is use fucking social Media and that’s about it. No one’s using Limewire to download porn/music, no one’s using warez websites anymore, there are trustworthy porn aggregators so no one needs to visit dubious websites anymore.
Viruses are still a thing, and as someone already mentioned, chrome and edge themselves are spyware. Phishing is the more prodominant modus operandi nowadays.
But maybe people would like a standalone device, without the distraction a regular smartphone brings.
I’m not defending this thing as AI in its current state is near useless, bar some niche applications. But the decision to make it a standalone device isn’t really controversial in my opinion.
In this case it’s pretty much the same risk as inhaling asbestos dust. Fun fact, in the past, beer was filtered through asbestos, which was perfectly safe because asbestos is only dangerous when inhaled. Nowadays it’s filtered through Kieselgur because its properties are pretty much identical to those of asbestos.
I don’t know man, I loved YouTube back in the days when people made videos for shits and giggles. No one expected money from that.
You can use Revanced for example. Alphabet is trying to fuck that up too, but it’s still going strong. Plus, a revanced YouTube is a lot better than the regular app. Want to get rid of Shorts? Revanced will let you get rid of those shitty videos for good. Hate sponsor messages in Videos? Revanced will let you integrated sponsorblock.
The day that revanced won’t work anymore is the day I’ll stop using YouTube.
Given how terrible Teams performes, I’d dread to have merely 8GB to run it on.
I believe you can simply leave it unregistered and it’ll still work indefinitely. Plus you aren’t getting updates forced down your throat, since you’re not connected to the internet.
I despise these blurred backgrounds. I understand if you use it when working from home and don’t have a dedicated office, but so many people do it even when they’re at the corporate office. The flickering is just super annoying.
The problem with “gas” is, that it’s a state of matter. Usually the word gas is used for natural gas that you’d use in a gas stove. Some vehicles are even upgraded with an actual gas tank, making it double confusing.
I think you mean Barcelona, right?
Lol, no. Very accessible AI tools can make the pictured kids do whatever the fuck the creator wants. It’s easier than ever to steal identities and ruin lives. The internet still is full of porn and gore but that hardly is the problem. Also, brainwashing via social media is a really big and scary problem. The internet absolutely is scarier then aver before.
Correct. Bavaria once tried the same thing, but then MS went to the local politicians, sucked their dicks a bit and boom, back to MS products it is! Hopefully the north doesn’t fall for that kind of shit, and they likely won’t because Bavaria is a backwards piece of shit of a Bundesland while Schleswig Holstein is kinda cool.
Mate, you should leave your emotions out of these kind of discussions. It’ll just have the opposite effect of what you’d like. Please stick to the facts.
Yeah, BYD is massively subsidized by the government, mainly to try to destroy the western EV market. I’m really on the fence on that one. On the one hand, I’d like our car Industry to be a bit more disruptive and come up with cheaper solutions (fuck SUVs, the German car Industry is just making huge luxury cars that are way too expensive, both capex and opex wise). On the other hand, I don’t want Winny the Pooh gaining influence on the west.
YouTube revanced let’s you disable shorts permanently. Fuck those useless videos, designed to get you addicted. I’m fairly sure consuming too many shorts irreparably damages the brain. Don’t quote me on that but people just stopped fact checking because it takes longer than 20 seconds.
This may be true for the USA. In Germany the biggest killer is agriculture, followed by buildings, then cars and then come the cats. I’m guessing this is the reason for the controversy regarding this topic. Cats aren’t that big a problem in Germany. Especially if you have a programmable cat flap that leaves the cats inside during morning and evening times. During daytime they don’t catch shit.
I got lucky, hardly experienced any bugs at all and I had the game from day one. Loved the atmosphere.
Cans are great from an energy-consumption point of view when viewing the entire lifecycle of a can.
If you’ve been using Windows for decades, Linux is absolutely not easier to use. Troubleshooting Windows for me is super easy and nowadays I hardly have to troubleshoot at all. It kinda just works™. Troubleshooting Linux as a noob is absolutely atrocious and I’ve always run into a problem with Linux within the first couple of weeks.
That said, I wish I grew up using Linux, so it’d be second nature to me. I really would like to ditch Windows. Problem is, I’m already burnt out from my job, I really don’t have the energy to make the switch yet.
