Because p is print. Also it’s super convenient right next to c

akilou ,

Yeah I’ve been thinking about this. The group chat with my inlaws is called “PIL” for parents in law. I’ll have to come up with something else. But there are so many iterations of family groups chats. Parents in law, parents, siblings, siblings in law, and every combo thereof

akilou ,

Honestly it’s kind of annoying. I want to name the chat after their relationship to me. Coming up with something that we all have in common with each other is a lot harder

akilou ,

On the other hand though it is nice to have a common name. Like I’m in a group with the other parents of kids at my kid’s daycare. Sometimes you want the name to be common, sometimes you want it to be individual.

akilou ,

Like when new people join, they know they’re in the right place

akilou ,

First try: password manager

Job done

Can someone show me on a map where “the west” starts?

akilou ,

Ok so which of these definitions describes Israel?

akilou ,

50 degrees is a damn good temperature. I won’t stand here and let you besmirch 50 degrees.

Its not the “perfect” temperature but what temp in celcius is “perfect”? What a ridiculously proposition that there’s a perfect temperature.

If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck look at LED TVs. Different companies have different names for their specific LED technology, like QLED or MiniLED. If you’re looked for the best bang irrespective of bucks, go for an OLED.

Then choose your brand on which OS it uses and other features. Then crank up the size until you reach $1,000.

akilou ,

Unless you’re picky about certain small details, this is a solid choice

akilou ,

Like which operating system it runs and the user interface and what the remote is like and how big the bezels are and how good the sound quality is and how many hdmi ports it has… Like if you care about some specific detail make sure it has the thing you want or doesn’t have a version you hate

akilou ,

You can download in whatever format is available for any given movie. Often movies are available in multiple formats, especially the popular ones. DM your email address amd I can invite you to a private tracker but only if you promise to keep a good ratio.

Also I’m sure some other commenter is literally going to say “mkv is a container not a format” but whatever, if you want mkvs the movie or show you want has to have an mkv available.

If Google or Apple went out of business (depending on which phone you have) you’d stop getting updates and it’d stop working.

akilou ,

Think of all the Apple shit your phone depends on. iCloud, iMessage, any time you have to authenticate with your apple password. Probably a bunch of other iBullshit that I’m not familiar with because I don’t have an iPhone. At the very least, your OS would stop getting security updates, and like you said, you wouldn’t have an app store to push app updates. Some stuff would break immediately and other stuff would degrade over time.

Now imagine it’s your car

akilou ,

But it won’t matter because he’ll have already sold. Well, it won’t matter to him.

akilou ,

This will never happen

akilou ,

You mean a phone? Thinking machines are not outlawed yet

akilou ,

I think you just asked a question and then immediately answered it

akilou ,

Alternate title: Students cannot tell the time because schools are removing analog clocks from the classroom

akilou ,

Damn. I switched to DDG like well over a year ago and thought I was just kind of putting up with it for the sake of privacy. Turns out I didn’t know how good I have it

akilou ,

Completely agree! I wish you could choose which map to use. I still use and love google maps.

akilou ,

This is awesome. But I’m a little suspicious. How is it completely free? Seems like video conferencing would use a lot of resources

Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims (www.independent.co.uk)

Former President Donald Trump spent nearly an hour at his Palm Beach, Florida, social club on Thursday ranting to a room full of reporters as he tries to grab the spotlight from a resurgent Democratic ticket fronted by Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

akilou ,

Why was the room full of reporters in the first place? The best move here is to let him rant to an empty room

akilou ,

Does sunscreen freeze solid at regular freezer temperatures?

akilou ,

Drain the swamp?

akilou ,

Does it have traffic data?

akilou ,

Sounds like you just have different shit to deal with

akilou ,

But at that point what are you even gaining? If you’re looking for privacy you’re just trading Google tracking you for “third party service provider” tracking you

More like Venus than Mars

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough (www.xda-developers.com)

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple’s claim that...

akilou ,

But do those benefits outweigh doubling or tripling the amount of RAM by simply inserting another stick that you can buy for dozens of dollars?

akilou , (edited )

Can’t wait to see the eight seven tenets of the Satanic Temple right up there next to them

akilou ,

Thank you! I’ll edit the original

akilou OP ,

That said I believe it will improve over time. It has to, in order to be useful.

That doesn’t mean it has to. Let me introduce you to dozens of other Google projects.

akilou ,

anyone who’s sent/received a garbage and cares enough knows to send via third party messaging apps anyway

Tell that to my in-laws

akilou ,

They just don’t understand technology enough to appreciate the difference. You should see them drive with a navigation app

akilou ,

Poll: What did everyone call these growing up?

akilou ,

This is the correct answer

akilou OP ,

Welcome to Wrexham.

Not the kind of guy who’d watch something from a USB. Technically not a co-worker but a former co-worker, because he retired a couple of years ago.

akilou OP ,

Right, exactly. The alternative to this meme is offering them access to my Plex server.

akilou OP ,

My employer is the government

akilou ,

Guy shoulda used Signal

akilou ,

Interesting. I’ve never liked those notifications but I’ve seen people on Signal message boards defend them to the death. There’s no privacy issue! You’re only getting it because they’re already saved in your phone! This is a good scenario to illustrate the point.

akilou ,

I use Musicbrainz-picard to organize music and clean up metadata. For Shows and movies, it’s pretty easy. I use Plex and it’s pretty flexible with naming conventions
