  • ‘Your phone is about to stop being yours': anger brewing among Android fans as major Google app change draws near

    Jump

  • Anyone else thinking this is an anti-piracy measure? Google made similar moves to change web browsers to make aure you see ads. I'm sure they're not happy people keep blocking their ads on android. Ads are their core business model.

    Thats the impression that I get.

    P. S. I heard somewhere Amazon is moving their fire devices off of android to combat piracy as well.

  • You are right. The lack of true completely functional alternatives is part of the sad state of mobile OS decay we are suffering. I had already abandoned Nova launcher for Lawnchair last year. This entire android ecosystem is just less functional everyday and it's Google's design. I don't have a good solution and it's quite frankly embarrassing to be defending this OS as a solution anymore. The team over at GrapheneOS seems to be the one of the only teams who haven't lost the plot. The team over at FUTO has a good thing going (I use the FUTO keyboard). I will continue to support them and their endeavors, I just can't buy yet another pixel.

  • The solution is moving to a cabin in the woods with a Nokia 8210. I'm not read for that (yet).

  • I give up. I'm moving to iphone. I've been using Android for 16 years and I'm finally tired Boss. There is just too much bad android news stories to count. See you later space cowboys.

  • I think the biggest disservice that I received from my US Public School education was being taught that the civil rights movement was something from the past.

  • I think about this every god damn day

  • Someone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support

  • Tldr; This article reads like my own particular preferred brand of copium.

    Nvidia Tried this with BFG (Big Format gaming Displays) but most of them never made it to market. I think Microcenter carried one model and it was expensive for what you were getting. Back in those days having the nvidia gsync sticker easily double the price of any monitor and making it a ~60" tv wasn't an exception.

    I can't be the only person who wants display port but I fear this must have to do with the HDMI Forum being the current cable standard mafia and supporting anything other than HDMI is like giving up an inch of the total control they have over the TV industry. They (Sony, Phillips, Toshiba, Hitachi, etc) are effectively colluding against TV buyers and controlling the market and eliminating competition.

    With that being said, the USB-C port on these TVs has been around and Ive seen other reviewers show that the high sense implementation is not the panacea (yet) that gamers desire. Its more for like, plugging in your Macbook to your TV.

    Still, if this TV came out tomorrow and Wendell from Level1techs said "your Linux pc can get 4k, 120hz, HDR FreeSync out of this" and showed it working, $3500 dollars wouldn't stop me from buying it.

  • Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game

    Jump

  • The demos run on the back of two 5090 GPUs... At what point do we even acknowledge I shouldnt need to be using nearly 2kW of power on a gaming PC on a dedicated circuit in my home? Simply diminishing returns at a certain point and nvidia is bringing us way past that point into very unreasonable territory.

    Is it cool they could do it at all?... I GUESS?! But they've definitely lost the plot here.

  • PlayStation May Be 'Backing Away From Putting Their Traditional Single-Player Games on PC'

  • Shit I guess I wont be paying them twice to play the same game on ps5 and then PC a year later.

  • Im pretty sure at somepoint we're all going to get locked out of those battle. Net accounts for inactivity or the service being "sunset" and then they will fltry to force us to re-buy all of our games on a new platform. They will evergreen this strategy in perpetuity.

  • Mesa RADV driver on Linux looks set for a big ray tracing performance boost

  • My 7800xt has become the gpu I game on primarily. Sometimes I think about getting the 9070xt but then I see the steambox is going to have the 7600 Laptop variant and I realize that this generation is good enough and that improvements will keep coming.

  • Australia’s Grand Social-Media Experiment. Will the country ever know for sure if banning teens from social media makes their lives better?

    Jump

  • Its basically illegal to be young. I don't think this is going to change anything. Kids are on the internet because they cant legally express being anything but a minor until they're a third through their life. They're constantly monitored, censored, and scrutinized. I think large tech corps are exploiting a real need kids have to participate. Sometimes ::tin foil hat:: I believe this is by design. Thanks for coming to my tedx talk.

  • HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

  • I feel you. Ive been going through this loop over and pver again. Ive landed on the fedora based Universal Blue for this reason. Bluefin for my desktop and bazzite for my gaming PCs. Sometimes you just want your system to be stable and get out of your way and i really appreciate thay about fedora.

  • Has Anyone Else Noticed How Much Kids’ TV Has Changed Lately?

    Jump

  • This! I remember watching king kong (1933) and abbot and costello meet Frankenstein (1948) with my Grandmother as a small child. These movies predate her but she loved growing up with these things.

    The era doesn't really matter as time for humans on this earth is actually very short. It's not about what you watch, it is about who you share it with.
