  someone shouldn’t have to handle the fallout for an action caused directly by someone else handing it off to them, when she could have easily sent that text to them instead. Sibling in this case is being used because sister doesn’t want to face the arguing.

  i mean kinda generalist there? are you using any piece of hardware that has an engineer as a ceo? (e.g nvidia, amd qualcomm all have ex engineers as CEOs)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  hence why i kinda wanted to put “small” in emphasis, because small today isn’t the same as small before. its still small enough that it can be used in one hand though, just on the edge of it. Almost everything else is larger than it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  the A series is smallish, the last small android phone was probably the Asus Zenfone 10, then Asus axed that line and merged the Zenfone line and ROG phone line and followed the ROG phones size. A phones however aren’t flagship so theyd fail the check.

  i just find it funny because the fix for it was use the playstations developer version of vsync, but fromsoft decided that they wanted to redo whats already done. thats why the stutter is almost present on all fromsoft games of that console generation.

  30 fps with a broken self implemented vsync that causes stutters*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: Switch 2 Announcement Expected This Week⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  even with the price increase, they cant realistically do it haphazardly, as the switch has a very low online subcriber rate (~20%) compared to Sony, whos rate sits closer to 80%.

  just increasing the price without offering some feature of value will hurt shareholders trust in nintendo, at least in the longterm.

  vegetables in general and tasting bad is moreso lack of preparation/cooking rather than the actual thing itself most of the time. Brusselsprouts is the polarizing one where its seen the most.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you are aware that the KMT who opposed the CCPs land grab also chose an anti-profit driven land distrubition model through the Equalization of Land Rights as well right. As mentioned before, KMT were Georgism focused, and all profit should go back to the community, and any profit the owner gets is meant to go back to the building or land for improvements, none for profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if the rents > mortgage, then parasite. Fundamentally speaking, its pretty fucked up that fundamental basic needs are treated as investments. At least with food, theres virtually always alternatives to get something cheaper, but that doesnt exist with some of the other forms of basic needs, and shelter is arguably the most important one of them.

  The stock market was meant to be the location where people put money into investment. it’s just housing got lucrative that parasites decided to pool their money into that instead of business. A consumer has the power to refuse to fund a specific business, they have very little control over keeping a roof over their heads, which is a huge problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t necessarily say it is or isnt spotifies fault, but how I see it is music kinda changed due to the digital age. Before the digital age, most people mostly needed to get into, or the eyes of a record label to get anywhere, and that had its fair share of dirty laundry (e.g whats happening with P Diddy). The digital age flipped the book around, where being able to publish music nowadays is extremely easy, but the problem is you’re competing against a wave of other users. It’s also significantly more expensive to do live concerts nowadays too (which is completely separate from spotify) as more and more concerts are getting canceled

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get over fear of cooking?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  id start by using cooking tools that require low maintainance and skill (e. g crock pots, microwave, airfryer is next step up)

  after that youd probably want something that minimuzes fire hazards, so id probably start by cooking using induction cooking ware. since it itself does not generate a fire, the only way you could actually do one is if the physical food itself burns.

  only casually read stuff on hardocp around the sandy/ivy bridge generation. but yes a good chunk of it died to video coverage of the content. its why for example Gamers Nexus has the reverse approach where the video content is their main priority (and audience) and they maintain their own website because thats what they wanted to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too spicy for me but thank you 😊⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  model y is an EV suv.

  the problem basically is that the people driving model 3.the 3 itself is also fairly heavy, but the assumption that if they were going to drive a model 3, the majority would switch back to a lighter sedan when in reality, they bought the model 3 because it was one of the cheaper EV options, and had it not been a cheap EV option, they would have driven a larger hatchback or SUV regardless.

  for example I had a coworker who recently got a tesla. what he was driving beforehand was a V70 Volvo hatchback before he sold it to fund the model 3. the hatchback is only a few hundred pounds lighter than the model 3, which effectively isnt a significant amount of weight, given an addition one, or two lighter people would already make up the weight difference alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too spicy for me but thank you 😊⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  its weoght would be dependant on how much of a battery capacity they have as its chunk of weight is just pure battery weight alone. An average model Y weighs in about the same as a large SUV. so if this statement was made in particular to the U.S, it wouldnt change much given how popular SUVs are. if you take away the EVs, the vast majority is just moving back to SUVs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  because the people in the top end are paid via stocks and not actual hard currency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  mixture of housing supply shortage, empty homes, fucked investments, a bit of zoning laws, and nimbyism, and airbnb

  housing supply shortage

  younger generations want to live in cities because thats where both employment and “fun” is reletively speaking. the demand is very high for limited space.

  empty homes

  in some areas, there are homes that are completely empty, some due to negligence, inheritance and some just to artificially decrease supply. to put an example, San Jose, CA legitimately has more empty homes than it does homeless.

  fucked investments/nimbyism

  some people see housing as an investment instead of putting it into stocks. the investments keeps proces high because its seen as profit rather than a basic necessity to live. people who own houses will use all their power to prevent more houses to be built because more home lowers procing because of more supply.

  zoning laws

  some places, they restrict building to strictly residential or strictly commercial building. as WFH becomes more mainstream more land needs to be made as residential land. or remove the zoning alltogether

  airbnb

  airbnb gets you more money in popular areas. it takes away a potenial home for a local worker in favor for maximum investments, which is bad for the city, because it circumvents hotel taxes, and takes away potential income tax from someone who would have lived and worked in the area.

  as long as analogue didnt use the devices actual hardware design and code, its completely legal. theyre not selling you games, theyre selling you a piece of hardware capable of playing said games with their own hardware design.

  i dont want to say emulation in a soft sense because its not software emulation, its hardware to hardware emulatoion.
