  • People who speak English as a second language: how confusing is it that nouns are not gendered?

    Jump

  • Not at all, it makes it simpler, in many cases you don't even need it or is even simpler to convey the gender in other ways

  • HDD cloning

    Jump

  • i'm fresh with this kind of adventures, bought new m.2 ssd, USB enclosure, yesterday i cloned old one to the new one (1TB Crucial P1 -> 2TB Kingston KC3000, both "come with" Acronis, so i used it), popped the new one in and BOOM, INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, tried some workarounds but i ended up just installing new windows copy, welp it might be actually better solution because it's clean install obviously, but i'm just lazy:)

  • A funeral for voicemail - The Oatmeal

    Jump

  • I think the voicemail thing is very country specific, I mean here in Poland voicemail is the first thing to disable when you get the phone number, it's even considered rude to have it enabled, it stems from the times when the calls were billed by the minute and carriers seemed to switch to voicemails after too soon, like after 1-2 beeps and "sending signals" (calling without answering to communicate, like "I'll send you a signal when I'll be there" or something) was popular among the young people

    On the other hand the answering machines weren't a thing here, maybe it's connected?

    Also I don't get the reason behind "but some random business might call me", isn't that an unsolicited call? Of course it's a completely different thing when your number is a business number, but on the other hand why not send an email? Guessing it's a deeply cultural thing stemming from aforementioned answering machines, for me listening through the voice message is inefficient, I prefer text content, like I'd rather read the article than view the video summary, but I know some people prefer it

    And here we are in the times of voice messages, my wife uses it to communicate with her friend and I'm tired of hearing those umms, food swallowing, lip smacking etc

  • Which cloud photo backup service do you use and recommend?

  • Cool, most of the time THEY want ME to watch something on the platform, it's not like I come to Facebook to watch stupid shit

  • Why are laundromats sexy?

  • Yeah, watched it with my wife and we both said roughly WTF was that after it ended

  • Guy makes “dodgy e-bike” from 130 used vapes to make point about e-waste

    Jump

  • Yeah, disposable vapes should be made illegal, not only are they lowering the bar for the access because they're cheap and accessible to minors, not only because they are an e-waste, but because it wastes valuable lithium, also those are perfectly chargeable batteries, is a bit fucked up that it's more profitable to use rechargeable lithium batteries than something disposable

  • TIL "This is Spinal Tap" has a 7.9/11 rating on IMDB

    Jump

  • Well at least it's not as broken as games rating, nowadays almost every game is 8-9.9

  • most of the time it's coffee, i don't have a habit of putting water in my arms reach just in case, if I'm thirsty i have to go to The Water Place

  • What smartphone do your use? What's the best phone you had owned?

    Jump

  • I liked my Motorola One Vision, 21:9 source ratio was a banger, lots of screen real estate and the phone fit in the hand nicely, vanilla Android was cool, I hate the iPhoney flavor of Android my current OnePlus has, only downsides was:

    • Exynos chip resulting in poorly optimized software, battery life was shit
    • LCD screen, OLED would be nicer
    • Poor cameras, even 2x zoom looked mushy AF
    • Motorola's poor software support, it got Android 10 a year after it came out, we were told it'll get fast software updates because of the Android One programme
    • The fingerprint sensor on the back was the shittiest one I've ever used, barely worked, face unlock was a godsend... until COVID came
    • Motorola's thought with this one the middle of the phone is the best place for the NFC antenna, I had to do some weird ninja moves with the phone for the touchless payments to work

  • What are your AI use cases?

  • immich is a self hosted google photos alternative, it finds faces, groups them, lets you name people etc, object recognition works similarly, it lets you search by terms like "dog" etc. you can use the phone app to sync your photos with it (i sync mine using syncthing though), here's a demo
