The real Linus Tech Tips (now with 100% less sexual harrassment).

You think that’s absurd? Have you never gotten married? Wedding photos are extremely important and while “she almost vomited” may be hyperbole, I can definitely understand being very pissed off if that was the only version of the photo. Our wedding photographer whitened our teeth in our photos and we requested that they undo that so we look like ourselves. The sentiment was nice, but we didn’t want that. I would have been pretty unhappy if they hadn’t held onto the originals and were unable to revert our teeth back to their normal shades. Photos of our bridal showers and dress hunting were nearly as important as the wedding photos themselves. I can understand being upset with this undesired result.

If you’re near the cusp, pick whichever makes you feel better. Generations are a sociological construct and are appropriately applied in the aggregate, not to individuals and they’re always fuzzy around the edges. Much like Hari Seldon can’t predict specific individual events, sociological generations don’t always apply exactly the same to individual people.

If you’re born anywhere between around 1978 and 1984, you will likely find at least one sociologist who draws the line on either side of you.

I tend to go with Strauss-Howe, who consider GenX to be 1961-1981 and Millennials to be 1982-2005 – mostly because I like their idea of turnings and cyclical archetypes.

Are you kidding? I made the jump a month ago and get better performance across the board gaming with proton/lutris than I did with windows.

Oh yeah, you’re right there! I haven’t had the funds to get a home VR setup yet, so I was pleasantly surprised all my games actually run BETTER after I made the switch.

Anti-Semitic incidents in US up about 400% since Israel-Hamas war began: Report (www.straitstimes.com)

Antisemitic incidents in the United States rose by about 400% in slightly over two weeks since war broke out in the Middle East after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Wednesday. Read more at straitstimes.com.

oof, that is a cringeworthy “ackchually” take, bro.

While jews and arabs are both semitic, the term Anti-Semitic was specifically coined as part of anti-Jewish campaigns in Germany in an attempt to give scientific-sounding credibility to their bigotry. Nobody actually uses “anti-semitic” to mean anti-arabic. Get real.

Family plan in my country is like $4USD. And it provides more than adblock. I can easily download a few hour-long videos to my kid’s tablet for long train rides without futzing with third-party Downloader. I have a pihole in my house and use adblock on every device that supports it, but premium is still worth so much.

Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple (www.theverge.com)

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

SMS isold and shitty, but its supported on every phone model. Apple stacked iMessage on top of it for rich media when both endpoints support iMessage. android and others stacked RCS on top of SMS for the same rich media purposes. When incompatible devices communicate (iOS<->non-iOS), they fall back to crappy SMS. You’re saying you like the separate-system status quo and if you want to communicate with one group or the other (iOS or non-iOS), switch devices. We’re saying why can’t we all just have one rich-media format that works for everybody?" I don’t care if Apple switches to RCS or opens up full-featured iMessage to everybody. I just want to be able to talk to all my friends without us having to buy the same hardware. Are you just being intentionally obtuse?

Because I paid for a lifetime sub like a decade ago and my parents and a few friends connect to my instance. I can’t be arsed to move myself and everybody else to a new system when this shit just works.

So it’s a remake of Da Ali G Show?

elint ,

Yes, that’s why we pronounce JPEG as Jay-Pheg.

elint ,

The file format is JPEG (or JPG). Its commonly pronounced “jay-peg”, but if we demand that GIF is a hard-G because of “Graphics”, then we must abide JPEG being pronounced “jay-feg” or “jay-pheg” because of “Photographic”.

Have you actually tried that? It just works. Win11 isnt much more than a big Win10 feature update. We’ve updated a few hundred machines across several customers and they rarely required manual intervention.

Wow! Easily accessible to be stolen? In my country, we have 2 sudafed formulas – the meth kind (pseudoephedrine) and a different type (phenylephrine). The meth kind is only available by asking the pharmacist and showing your state-issued identification. The other kind is freely available to steal.

Because it is predictable and doesn’t suck.

Are you saying all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves?

Far out, man.

Oh man, I’m just starting that one myself. West Wing. Sopranos. For some reason, if you can get past the old-person video quality, 20 years ago was peak TV. Gen-X is mostly a waste of oxygen and natural resources, but their art (TV, music) was a Renaissance era.

C:\Program Files\ unless your program is 20+ years old and you still haven’t written a version for modern-day systems. 32-bit is dead.
