I might be alone here but I still have Winamp on my Windows computers. From my 100 MHz pentium 1 to my bazillion core Ryzen, the only constant has been Winamp. Whether it was playi…

This is the only platform I frequent where I read more than I comment and I learn a lot from people, too. I always come here to find interesting takes on things and I'm very rarely…

It's not really worth it for them to make dumb TVs either, I assume, since that implies they can't shove ads and telemetry into them.

I'd love a feature that would allow alphabetical sorting of channels. It's kind of ridiculous that this isn't possible on a 'smart' TV today.

I mean if the goal was to hide bad reviews they could've done so already like they did when Robinhood pissed its users off. There has to be more to this than just wanting to improv…

I always use handbrake to optimize video for embeds, whether it’s to remove audio, reduce size or simply resize, it works well. I’m so grateful to have discovered it years ago.

I don't mean to jinx myself here but I really hope this is part of the beginning of an industry-wide trend (after-all, Microsoft already talked about making their gear more repair-…

I grew up very poor and I always get this awful feeling when something costly I own breaks - and that's consistently been my experience with Apple and Beats wireless headphones and…

A lot of mainstream media sites have removed comments sections from their articles, there's no user interaction left on those.

I wouldn't necessarily say that it was the worst video, but the response to it was a response to YouTube's general direction, in my opinion. https://www.polygon.com/2019/12/6/20998…

The interesting thing about that video was that the Internet took it as a win, YouTube apparently took it as a learning opportunity.

This is part of a wider trend in the corporate internet of getting rid of visible user interaction to stop publicising user opinion. News publications have slowly gotten rid of com…

It's interesting that the Internet took the YouTube Rewind dislike thing as a win, meanwhile YouTube themselves took it as an opportunity to learn about the negative side effects o…

A small anecdote: Back when I was still a little kid I had an awful music teacher in school. He would throw all the theory on the whiteboard but never explained how it actually rel…

Can I migrate my purchases over and get rid of my extra Faceborg account, then? I don’t like the threat of getting banned and losing all my purchases hovering over my head constant…

We have an official reseller but it’s been out of stock for months unfortunately. The making a quick buck on other people’s misfortune thing is widespread here. PS5s still cost upw…

Has anyone ever done any studies on the effects of long, daily exposure of the eyes to a vr headset’s optics and screen to the human eye?

They also said they're open to opening it up to 3rd parties in the future.

I wish this had more RAM and at least a USB-C to boot off of: it'd be pretty nice for singular use cases. I'd replace the Pi 4 in my 3D printer controller with one and use that Pi …

I genuinely struggle to imagine what taking on China would be like with so much economic dependance on their exports and manufacturing. Can anyone please explain? Especially in the…

Oh, don't worry, I assumed that you weren't, I just realised that I wasn't too specific so I just specified it. Sorry if I accidentally implied that you were, I wasn't trying to. S…

As long as you use something like the official PSU and don't connect particularly power-hungry USB devices to it you should be fine. As far as the SD card goes you can boot off an …

I ended up Tailscale for Wireguard myself. I was really worried about letting all these server software out on the wide open internet because I can't guarantee I'll be around 24/7 …

I migrated away from cloudflared to dnscrypt-proxy because cloudflared didn't start up properly for me. On each reboot I had to manually stop and start it otherwise it was flooding…
