I feel like it used to be size, color, and clarity meant more expensive. Now I look at a 500$ 4k TV and a 2000$ 4k TV and I don’t know what the difference is. They can both be smart TVs, be the same size, and have a lot of same advertised features, but what are the subtle unspoken mysteries that justify a huge price gap?

I recently was able to acquire an older Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 with an Intel i3-4030Y and 4GB of RAM....

My Views: I would love it if Solar, Hydro and Wind and other renewable sources of energy + Non Renewable Nuclear were to provide enough energy reliably to completely replace fossil fuels, but I know it’s not a feasible solution at least at this point. And maybe it will never be. Renewable sources of energy are highly dependent...

Hi everyone, I would love to make up a system that enable me to give and AI an ebook (or a list of more ebooks) and have as output a book summary (chapter by chapter) in markdown....

This has been in the back of my mind lately as I think about bouncing between OSes. Typically various Linux distros seem to be able to recognize just about any filesystem, but the same definitely can’t be said of Windows, and I suspect MacOS as well....

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...

Hi everyone, I recently made a peertube instance and I see the potential!...

I played a bit with qutebrowser recently and I love it’s keyboard driven nature but it is based on QtWebEngine which is based on Chromium and I want something based on Firefox. I know that there are extensions for Firefox that bring Vim keybindings but qutebrowser is much better in terms of that. So, is there any Firefox based...

I wish I could teach them to play bona fide...

Hi! I’m looking for a good cloud storage provider for my backups. I will encrypt them locally and rclone them, so integration is important. I’ve been looking through reddit, and every single provider has something behind their ears (closes accounts, scans files, sketchy, blah blah blah), so I’m having a bit of an analysis...

So, I’m aware of Syncthing for much of the media, which may help after getting things migrated, but I’m wondering if there may be something more like Clonezilla (or the like) for smartphones to more easily copy over apps & media in bulk....

What are Lemmy’s feelings about the best cloud storage options these days, if you really want to break into the 1-2TB range? I’m not there yet, probably not even halfway there, but I like the peace of mind of potentially having the space if I need it. And I think subscribing to something in the Netflix price range is maybe...

Hello everyone,...

I’m looking for a sandwich bread recipe with ingredients measured by weight. I have bread flour and whole wheat flour and both pizza and regular Fleischmann’s yeast on hand, but no AP flour until I go shopping at the end of the week. If you have a good recipe, I’d really appreciate y’all sharing.

Hey guys, forgive me if I’m posting in the wrong place, but I have a talent for understanding audio very well. I just finished implementing a sequencer and a synthesizer in C, just for fun. Now that I’m done, I feel pretty good about this project, and I feel like there’s no reason not to keep going, but I don’t know what...

Calibre is pretty decent but it’s slow and buggy and bloated. Plus it’s pajeetware so there’s another reason not to use it. What alternatives do you recommend?

And if you’ve made strides in reversing that stigma, how have you done so?

I jumped on for 5 mins to try it and… spent an hour just doing circles at the airport haha it’s so much fun

The two-panel comic I’m looking for describes how the level of care parents give plummets after the first child. The dialog goes something like this:...

Well I’m hopping around… again. I thought I had a good stable setup going but then something happens upstream that goes against what I want/believe in (looking at you RedHat) and I’m back on the hunt again....

Weekly thread to discuss whatever you’re working on, big or small, at work or in your free time.

Saw an ad on YouTube for this service saying something like “if you’ve experienced chronic pain for a long time with no improvement, “plant medicine” might be right for you.”. So I checked it out. The website continually says “plant medicine” and doesn’t specify at all wtf that actually means. Until I saw wording...

Just curious what are the top 3 podcasts you listened to this year on whatever platform. Antennapod released a feature that summarized your year and well the amount of hours kinda surprised me in a good way, haha....

I’ve just been through the far-too-many Lemmy apps I have installed, to see whether any support peeking/hold to preview, like Sync does. Is it the only one?
