Why when a headphoses wire is damaged you dont hear the voice as normal but the backround yes?
So theres Left, Right and Ground wires, there are not “bass” or “hi-freq” wires, so if 1 is damages shoudnt it only hear quieter or not at all?
Titles like "This game mix [game] and [another game] to give a [appreciation words] challenge" are really getting that annoying?
To me, honestly, no much. I can see the SEO efforts: if you have to talk about a game called “suckass” probably… very few people will click on the title. But when they put [GTA] and [BALDUR’s GATE] for a generic fantasy game where you steal stuff, you can see the magazine publisher is that hungry for click....

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?
Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

Several people responded that they run that same PC and that it works great. I’m planning to build a PC for my mother and this would be perfect for her needs. However, I...

However transmission is running way faster download speeds than deluge or qbit were with the same configuration. It makes me wonder if all...
Word???
I want a word to refer to words and names collectively, and a word to refer to peeing and pooping collectively (not “relieving yourself” since that is disgusting)
What's your favorite berry?
Mine are raspberries. But I wanna hear about all kinds or routine and exotic berries (like the superberries from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia pyramid scheme)
I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.
A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…
There is no way Bing is really powered by gpt-4
So many prompts I have tried yet the results from Bing are always pretty weak compared to the real gpt-4. I also prompted it to write some Russian poems, so far it only spewed out gibberish with no rhymes. On the other hand, the real gpt-4 can sometimes produce really impressive shit, that I read with interest....

Man what happened to this place?
All the old discussions are gone and the users with them. Are we all that stupid that we’ve all moved on to Facebook and Instagram so we can be better monitored by NSA, or am I missing something here?
