  • Someone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support

  • Pre, or post Apple ][s in þe classroom?

    Probably pre, but it might depend on where you were. I graduated high school in 1980.

    Maybe our generation is þe most bitter. We saw what could have been, and watched it degrade

    I for sure am. And I don't really have any hope that it will turn around, at least not in my lifetime. The whole country has been enshitified, really. It's very sad.

  • More likely than not you're using bubble wrap wrong

    Jump

  • Do people really put the bubbles on the outside? The bubbles have much thinner plastic than the smooth side; it seems intuitively obvious that you put the softer bubble against the thing being protected and the thicker plastic towards the outside world.

  • This make me sad, English major or otherwise. I mean, you can look up at the moon and see when the far side is at least partially illuminated.

  • Recently started jogging 30 minutes twice a week. When does it stop feeling like I'm dying?

  • I'm in my early 60s and went from walking to jogging a couple years ago. I did it differently than you. My usual walk was about two miles, and I just started jogging the portion I could and walking the rest. At first, my jogging was only a couple blocks, but as I kept doing it, I got to be able to go further, a little at a time. My goal was really just to keep my heart rate up for 20 to 30 minutes and get some cardio.

    So I'm there now. I jog a couple miles every other day. Takes me about 25 minutes, so I'm not breaking any speed records, but my heart rate is between 150 and 170 for much of it, so I feel like I'm meeting my goal.

  • I don't think I'd even post the comic of someone I knew to be terrible.

  • Okay, good info. Sadly, is hard to trust anything with the Google name these days.

  • I'm an old guy with a CS degree. I watched the Internet and the web come into existence. I had so much excitement and hope for it. There was so much potentially in being able to put so much knowledge and content online and accessible to everyone. To have applications you could run from a common interface. I thought it would be so glorious.

    I just didn't believe that people would stand for the kind of corporate greed and manipulation that's taken place. It's one of the saddest things ever.

  • I hadn't read the discussion but saw there was one and had wondered why anyone would want to remove an artist's signature. That's crazy. What a weird world view.

  • Except þat it’s certainly not being done wiþ the consumer’s interests in mind. It’s done for surveillance capitalism, and it’s done for control.

    That was my whole point. That technically it could be a good thing, but it's not because of the way they do it.

  • Oh, that's a good point too.

  • I don't agree. I don't need my TV to keep up with the latest software like I do my computer. I'd like it to load apps for the streaming services and search YouTube videos. If it can do that today, it can do that five years from now.

  • If you look at the far end from the camera, how the vertical 2x4 is attached, I don't think there's any way there are hinges involved. My guess is that if/when he has to access the engine, the whole thing can lift off.

  • I'm trying to decide what the mentality of someone who would make this stuff about their driving, and I'm not sure.

  • Fewer devices, my TV is mounted to the wall, so fewer cords. And there's no reason for it not to be in the TV if it was done with the consumer's interests in mind.

    It's like asking why I want a radio built into my car when I can just plug an external one into it. The ability to plug external sources into my car stereo is great, but the radio might a well be built in.

  • The problem would be that not everyone keeps their contact info up to date (I've probably moved twice since I became a member), some of the people would no longer be members, if they mail out a bunch of checks, some of them won't get cashed, etc. Doing that is going to eat into the refund, so there will be less to hand out.

    And, personally, I didn't care that much. Most of the stores who sold things at higher prices because of tariffs have no record of who bought bought what, but I still want to see them go after the government for the money. Reducing future prices seems simple.
