  • DuckDuckGo Is Selling Anti Pervert Glasses That Contain Zero AI, Cameras, or Even Electronics Whatsoever

  • I wish DDG defaulted to their no ai search.

    If they want to make silly little jokes about “the other guys and their ai” then maybe don’t use ai shit as your default search option on your own platform?

  • A major Windows 11 UI redesign is coming, Microsoft is dumping legacy code for WinUI

  • And still Control Center will survive somehow like an undead cockroach.

  • Nvidia RTX 50 Super GPUs are reportedly ready, but stuck in limbo due to excessive GDDR7 pricing — 3GB GDDR7 module costs triple the price of 2GB

  • Some real "hotdog suit guy" shit going on with NVIDIA of all people say ram is too expensive.

  • US Adults Are Throwing Away Over $250 a Year on Unused Subscriptions, CNET Finds

  • So 1.5 trips to the grocery store.

  • PlayStation 6 bill of materials nears $1,000 as RAM shortages worsen

    Jump

  • So the price of a Steam Machine (that runs as well as a six year old PS5)?

  • Ad-free streaming is a luxury now

    Jump

  • I appreciate the article points out AppleTV as being the only one without ads at this point. They also have great shows and the fidelity of the video is good.

    Tim Cook sucks at this point, but who ever is running the TV business is doing a good job.

  • Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They ‘Never Talk To Us Again’

    Jump

  • Depending on your steam machine you get, it might have empty slots. I think one of the interviews said some will have a single stick of 16 and some two sticks of 8 just because the stock for RAM is so dumb they are taking what they can get.

  • Microsoft's new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly on Windows

    Jump

  • My favorite is when outlook pops up a meeting notification about five minutes into the meeting after I’m already in the meeting.

  • I just want them to take a few minutes and make an iPad app because the default app running on iPad sucks shit.

  • Best I can do is spin up 20 agents to barely get some basic functionality written.

  • Roku OS’s home screen now features a large, permanent ad

    Jump

  • They are certainly more expensive, but it's a "buy once cry once" type of thing. You pay a little more but the box works SO MUCH better and for longer than the cheap junk that'll show you a bunch of ads.

    I have two of them at this point and zero regrets.

  • Roku OS’s home screen now features a large, permanent ad

    Jump

  • I definitely think it's "linux brain" that exists around here to a degree. You can see it on any given thread that talks about...well...anything technical. "Just download Linux!" they'll say. And I say this as someone who LIKES Linux. I have it on two of my pcs (and I have a Mac and iPhone/iPad, etc. as well). It's great. But there's a zealotry around here around it.

    That said, it's not hard to dislike Apple right now. I'm pretty mad at them for cozying up to trump all the time. I'm glad Cook will not be leading Apple soon (though I wish he'd just leave outright. He'll still be at the company). But it's hard to deny the hardware is great and the software is generally good and generally works well.

    But Lemmy is certainly a niche population of nerds. And that's fine! It's great! But a lot of those nerds seem to love the "console wars"-type mentality of "MY thing is the best and anything else is bad."

  • Roku OS’s home screen now features a large, permanent ad

    Jump

  • People love to hate Apple, and that's fine (Tim Cook sucks ass), but the AppleTV is honestly the best streamer and you can't change my mind.

    Zero ads on the Home Screen, and even the first gen 4K box that came out 8 years ago is still fast as hell and getting updates.

    I know this because I had one in my closet and just took it out the other day when setting up a TV in my bedroom. It downloaded updates and is now rocking and rolling again.

  • Same. I had Disney+ and Hulu for YEEEARS until that happened. I canceled immediately. Also canceled Paramount after having it for years when they canceled Colbert for no reason other than to appease the dipshit president.

  • Beyond VSCodium (which I have switched to since this news), what are everyone’s favorite alternatives that are easy to switch to?

    I say easy to switch to because no one is jumping to Vim or whatever on this news. I don’t mean to offend the deeply Linuxed, but they aren’t.
