Probably the only good thing, lol. But decent HDR is make or break for me, so I continue using Windows for now…

Yeah but Elon Musk thinks that camera-based self driving alone is adequate. I’m not talking about Teslas anyway. Fuck Tesla and fuck Musk. The robotaxis I ride in have several radar antennas on them in addition to the cameras, and they only drive in designated areas so there’s no worry about them ever encountering unfamiliar terrain. Plus there’s a screen in the car that shows you exactly what it sees and what its next move is going to be. That feature alone gives me peace-of-mind.

Honestly, riding in one feels so safe and predictable, that I have no qualms about reclining the seat and taking a nap. If more people tried them, maybe they’d understand what I’m getting at.

See this is why I prefer robotaxis. At least I know I’ll get a consistent experience every time. They all drive exactly the same way and always arrive exactly at my set pickup spot. They never cancel rides because they don’t get too lazy to find the pickup spot I set. And the best part: No tipping.

Edit: Why the downvotes? Y’all have no idea what you’re missing out on. Radar-based self-driving cars are the future, whether you like it or not. As someone who has been on hundreds of rides, I can assure you that they’re they’re a hell of a lot better at driving THAN* (LMAO) humans. I feel much safer in a robotaxi over an unpredictable Uber/Lyft driver.

Fair, but I see using “obscure” software as no different than installing different modules in Linux to customize it how you see fit. Just like how nobody’s forcing you to use a more “traditional” distro like Fedora or Debian, nobody’s forcing you to put up with a default Windows setup, either.

As in “sound the party alarm!”

I may be an outlier, but they convinced me! The improvements to HDR alone made it worth the upgrade. No other desktop OS does HDR as good as Win11. Seriously, it’s so fucking good. I feel like I’m really getting my money’s worth out of my display. Can’t say the same when I was dual-booting Win10 and Garuda. (Linux didn’t even support HDR at the time and barely supports it now.)

All the complaints I hear about Win 11 are solved with two apps (and by building the ISO in Rufus). I don’t have any ads in my OS. Windows never tries to save to OneDrive (it’s not even installed). Recall doesn’t exist. I can move my taskbar wherever I want and fully customize it how I see fit. I can make the Start Menu look and behave like any Start menu from past Windows OSes. I don’t need a Microsoft account or even a password.

StartAllBack and O&O Shut Up 10 fix everything Microsoft broke.

Of course not, because there’s nothing to seed when you’re downloading a file directly from a server. I thought I already explained this.

Jeeps look odd without a spare tire, so they probably did it on purpose to be funny.

I hope they at least did an LS swap to make up for the loss of torque.

Where the hell am I going to find two exes? I’m almost 40 and still with my first girlfriend.

Interacting with a human should not be required to purchase food in 2025 (or anything at all, for that matter). We can be better than that. We have the technology.

For those with ADHD or just don’t have the time to watch:

He bought a Samsung Flip with a broken inner screen, removed the screen and split the phone in half, and turned it into a modern take on a slide phone.

To do so, he 3D printed a custom mold to replace the bottom half of the phone, and then shoved a Blackberry keyboard into it. Designed a custom hinge so that instead of flipping the phone open, you slide the keyboard out from behind and it drops below the cover screen—which is now the main screen—because he used a 3rd party launcher to make it behave as such. That way the phone is fully functional without the inner screen.

The only thing he didn’t do (nor did he attempt to), is figure out a way to move one or both of the cameras. Since the phone no longer flips open, the two main cameras are now both selfie cameras and there is no main camera(s).

We do? Since when? Where can I buy it?

Can they please just sue Jr. directly instead? Maybe if we ask nicely they will?

Edit: I know that torrent clients are a well-established paradigm—and that people are resilient to change—which is probably why you downvoted me. But Debrid services are some serious game changers, so needless to say I’m disappointed in you for just blindly downvoting without even giving them a try. You have no idea what you’re missing out on. 😔

If you’re going to pay money to pirate, you might as well skip the VPN and qbittorrent and just get a Debrid service instead. This gets you direct downloads to any torrent at gigabit speeds, without having to wait for seeds. Debrid takes the torrent client completely out of the picture.

All you do is copy and paste the magnet link into the Debrid site, and then directly download the torrent from your browser. It’s cheaper and much faster than a VPN + torrent client. And safer too because your ISP doesn’t see you sharing any illegal content (seeding the files is how they get you) nor using a VPN, so you can still pirate in places where VPNs are illegal. They just see you downloading large files from the internet. And since you’re not distributing anything (seeding), you’re staying within the law in most jurisdictions.

The threatening letters from my ISP stopped completely after I ditched qbittorrent and switched to Debrid. More people need to know about this. It’s so much better than putting up with torrent clients, dealing with DNS/IP leaks, and waiting for seeds. Just copy/paste and download.

That’s some bullshit right there. Every day should be Bandcamp Friday. I understand charging a small 1-3% fee to cover server costs, but nothing more. Otherwise Apple is just another evil record label profiting off of peoples’ talent.

I don’t get why she said “hey wait a minute”, but I think this is a really good idea.

Pick your perfect pizza with intricate detail, down to the specific brand of olives used, and even the type of water filtration system used for the dough, and then the app searches every pizza place in the area to find your perfect pie, places the order, and arranges delivery.

I would actually use food delivery apps if they worked like this, instead of having to pick the restaurant first and then browsing their menu. I want to pick the food first and then get shown compatible restaurants that serve it. Then and only then would they be worth the premium price to me. Of course this will never happen because restaurants don’t provide the kind of intricate detail that I so desire regarding their cooking processes. Trade secrets and whatnot. But as a foodie, I can dream.

Yes, we know.

Do we really need to make this post every single day for a week straight?

Is Google Maps going to go along with this bullshit too?

People don’t memorize phone numbers anymore? Why not? Dialing is so much quicker than searching your contacts for the right person.
