It’s better than using the same few passwords everywhere. Passwords are being phased out though. The future is passkeys.

I actually think things are much calmer here than the more mainstream communities like Facebook or Reddit.

Because if anybody would have a relevant take on this, it’s Florida’s attorney general.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 1 week ago:
Paypal has a reputation for this kind of thing from before Trump 2.0 though. They’ve ben doing this since at least 2003.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 1 week ago:
PayPal wouldn’t dare attack Steam for accepting external payment methods with rules they don’t agree with and can’t change because they don’t own those companies. In addition to opening them up to potential lawsuits, it could catastrophically backfire if Valve simply said “fine, we don’t accept PayPal anymore, but we do accept crypto now.”
PayPal would die in a week. The investors would drag out a guillitine by the next earnings call.

I’d imagine it’s sort of like reading porn rather than watching porn. Different people are activated by different things.

- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 1 week ago:
I think they were trying to lean too hard into the warring gamers battling it out, and the black woman represented the original PSP while the white woman represented the new white PSP, player 2.
But they put it on a fucking billboard where the only context we have to go by is beating the shit out of a black chick. What they fuck did they expect people to think?
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 1 week ago:
Like artistically I can see what they were aiming for with this but they not only failed to understand the medium and audience, but when the obvious interpretation came to their attention they did not fucking care.
Just incredible.

I’m surprised you didn’t post that PSP ad with the white lady beating the shit out of the black lady…to promote the sale of a white PSP.

Matter is fine too. It’s off the cloud. MQTT is great but generally not exposed directly to the consumer.

You would think after ditching a bunch of rich fuckers on an island they wouldn’t get another chance to try that again.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 2 weeks ago:
I like my home automation tech but it needs to serve a purpose. Just being connected to wifi is not a selling point for me. Lights that turn on in the morning when I need to wake up are great. A thermostat that can reduce energy usage when nobody is home is also great. But a grill….what the fuck does Internet access do to improve the grilling experience?
And if it requires the cloud to work, I don’t consider it a functional product.

- Comment on Anon describes apple's practices 2 weeks ago:
Yes and no. There are two reasons this half truth refuses to die.
- IOS does this obnoxious thing after updates where it no longer trusts its index. It changed something about how the index works so rather than update the existing data to the new slightly different format, they say fuck it and reminded the entire phones data. This background process consumes battery and can last up to a week. So people notice the battery life get worse, but they never notice it getting better after the indexing stops and goes back to only noticing changes.
- Apple had a big problem a while back where their phones could draw too much power from the batteries. It was fine when new, but as the battery aged, it wasn’t able to deliver stable power to the SoC under heavy loads, making the phone unstable and crashy. So apple just limited the max power the SoC could draw on phones where the otherwise perfectly functional battery could be pushed hard enough to cause problems. It’s annoying, and they could have been more clear, but the rationale was sound. Few will notice a slightly slower phone. Many will notice a phone that suddenly powers off when playing a game.
Apple does a lot of things wrong but they also do a lot of things right. We really need to pick more rational reasons to hate on apple if we ever expect them to give a shit about our opinions.

microsoft is building newer versions of the kernel to rely on cpu instructions that are not present in old CPUs. you can’t “hack” around that. At some point, the kernel will ask the CPU to do something it doesnt understand.
