- Comment on Q: Do I need Geforce Experience to make use of "Game Ready Drivers" (Nvidia)? 20 hours ago:
I believe you don’t get Shadowplay without it, so if you need game recording / replay without impacting performance it’s worth installing.
- Comment on Double chocolate 4 weeks ago:
Does it maybe mean 40% cacao content chocolate?
- Comment on Waiting in a queue to see a Web site 2 months ago:
That’s wild, how do they not have the server budget to show you the website, but do have some to show you a queue signup any everything? Surely those take about the same amount of resources!
- Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows 2 months ago:
Firefox can open/edit PDFs too, so you could get rid of Foxit since it’s obnoxious as well.

Firefox can open/edit PDFs too.
- Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows 2 months ago:
Firefox can open and edit PDFs, just uninstall the Adobe junk.
- Comment on Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down 3 months ago:
The usual “too many people are getting hit by cars while on bicycles, obviously it’s the bicycles that are the problem”
If ebikes that go over 25kmh are already illegal, why would those ebikes have this speed limiter module installed?
According to Paul Timmer of the Townmaking Institute, getting the device working on all e-bikes should be pretty straightforward. “There are five manufacturers and suppliers of motors for electric bicycles. They all work with similar systems,”
Also completely false, are they going to make it illegal to buy ebikes that don’t come with those 5 drive systems from large corporations, and shut out the small businesses that make ebike motors?
- Comment on Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (77F) outside. 5 months ago:
They work, but efficiency is near 1:1 when it’s that cold so there’s no cost advantage over a space heater.
- Comment on I just want to set a timer for MY FOOD WINDOWS WHY? 7 months ago:
For some reason windows will update their own app from their own app store, and then immediately apply another update when you open the app.
Their whole system is so hacked together.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
There are definitely games that are designed to pull as much money from the player as possible, just avoid them. Don’t buy them, don’t play them.
- Comment on The Daily Grind: Have graphics ever actually turned you off from an MMO? | Massively Overpowered 7 months ago:
The overall look and feel of a game certainly have turned me away many times, but graphics in the technical term of having low res textures or simple lighting not really, other than ones with performance issues.
- Comment on Maybe this isn't proper shopping but $18.50 for four veggie burgers, buns, and danish seems like a lot 7 months ago:
I mean, most people don’t have an Aldi’s nearby, would be great though.

- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 8 months ago:
Been playing KP Liberation on Arma 3 again with a group of friends. It’s always a blast and older games just have such a nice feel to them.
- Comment on youtube on modern phones sucks 8 months ago:
Try using it on firefox with ublock installed, works great.
- Comment on YouTube does this "suggested video" thing now 8 months ago:
Looks pretty good to me
- Comment on I hate using mobile to read articles 9 months ago:
VPN back home, or set up DoT with adguard home instead of pihole.
- Comment on I've recently been banned from 2 communities and i think it's unfair. 9 months ago:
Yeah regardless of the reason, people should always be told why they’re being banned, post removed, etc.
Unless it’s obvious bot spam over a bunch of posts and stuff.
- Comment on Nord VPN tv commercials are incredibly misleading 9 months ago:
ispot.tv
is on one of my blacklists, it seems to be an advertising service?Many VPNs have built in traffic filtering that does block common malware, phishing, and tracking domains/IPs.
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 10 months ago:
-
It’s not censorship, it’s a liability/legal issue.
-
This isn’t “the fediverse”, it’s a single instance.
-
You can move to a dedicated piracy instance or start your own.

- Comment on Intentionally chose an open ecosystem for the smart relays in my house, now they crippled the app adding a $4 subscription 10 months ago:
Oh it’s super cumbersome and a huge pain in the ass to set up. I say this as someone who has been using it for years in my house.
Doing any setup in HA just feels like pulling teeth, even something as simple as a timer is far more complex than it should be.
- Comment on MMO mouse recommendations? 10 months ago:
I have a Logitech G602 that works well, other than the middle click button wearing out a couple times on me (maybe I just use it a lot or something). I’m not sure about linux config though.
- Comment on Whenever I hit 'show context' it takes me to the original post and not the actual context 10 months ago:
What would you suggest we do?
