- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 1 week ago:
I didn’t even know they had a Smart TV app. What TV are you using?
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 1 week ago:
I always get so hyped up when the intro music plays, it’s amazing!
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 1 week ago:
The content is worth getting paid for. The app just isn’t. :D
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 1 week ago:
It probably works fine if you use an Apple device, although people have run into the aged-restricted content not playing on MacOS, too.

- Comment on Why we’ve fallen out of love with dating apps 1 week ago:
okcupid was amazing back then, I wrote with so many interesting people and had unique and lengthy conversations. Another platform fucked up by capitalism and greed.
- Comment on Why we’ve fallen out of love with dating apps 1 week ago:
it was pretty clear that these apps were dogshit designed to steal information while keeping you engaged with bots
They haven’t always been, though. I remember the good old times of okcupid - they had a system of interest you could enter and then they linked those interests to a search of people in the database. It was so effective to find people listening to the same music, playing the same games…
They removed the whole thing after they got bought out, removing one of the biggest features that made the platform unique. It explains why there are still a lot of people around recommend platforms like Tinder and okcupid, they remember their positive experiences and maybe even found a partner. But those times are long over.

“Foray in the Forest” is a community mod and it’s bigger than 1.44MB. I coul’ve split that up into multiple floppies, but I don’t have a modern PC with a floppy drive, so the easiest way was to burn a CD.

Don’t have a ZIP drive, only a 1.44meg floppy drive.

I have two Xeon E5-2697A v4’s in my system. 32 cores. My machine runs the latest AAA titles like Indiana Jones on maximum settings flawlessly.
Microsoft: “Just throw it away, bro.” Bless Lord Gaben for making Proton so good, I can run 95% of my Steam library on Linux, with better performance.

Just copy
C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/to/home/yourname/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/and Steam will recognize those games are already present when you try to download them. - Comment on CSS moment 4 months ago:
- Comment on Germany’s four-day work week proves to be a massive hit 4 months ago:
It’s only a test run done by a few companies, though. I’m a German and having a four day work week is still highly unlikely. Most people work 40h/week or more, from Monday to Friday.
I’m in the very lucky position to have a 30 hour work week. 3x8,1x6 and Fridays off. None of the people I know work like this, they either simply can’t afford it or they don’t have enough leverage against their employer to make it possible.
Also, the conservative parties in our political system are actively pushing against it, demanding even more work to compensate for our rapidly aging population and they will be back in office after February. What a time to be alive.

Also it will release fumes that you don’t want near your food.
- Comment on No one: Laptop. Could this be hardware or software related? 4 months ago:
This. Especially since they still have the worst hinge designs on notebooks I’ve ever seen and they have continued to build them so shoddily for years. It must be deliberate at this point.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Same here. If I start around 12pm-ish, it’s totally and I guess nobody would even bother if I slept a little longer. At my previous job I got my ass handed to me if I didn’t show up early in the morning, and no one cared that the office was at the ass-end of the world or that I put in a night shift the day before…it was horrible.
- Comment on Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak sales 7 months ago:
It’ll probably be a brick in a few months, when the company goes bankrupt and the servers it relies on get shut down. So even getting it for free would be too expensive.

- Comment on My refurbished ThinkPad (L390 Yoga) came with wrong rubber feet (too thick) not allowing it to turn into tablet mode. 8 months ago:
Yes I bought it ~3 years ago directly from Lenovo and the rubber feet look just like the ones in that photo.
- Comment on My refurbished ThinkPad (L390 Yoga) came with wrong rubber feet (too thick) not allowing it to turn into tablet mode. 8 months ago:
I have an L390 Yoga (i7) and these feet are indeed way too large.
The device is painful to use even with the correct feet, though - at least if you’re using Windows. It’s constantly overheating, because the cooling system is just reused from the L380 and can’t handle the heat of my i7 8565U processor. But hey - at least the marketing people where able to put “4.6GHz” into the specs.
I have to undervolt the CPU to make it run cool and prevent thermal throttling, which is not possible anymore if you’re running a current Windows version.
That thing is probably the last Thinkpad I’ve ever bought, to be honest.
