Phones would be far less socially damaging if social media didn’t exist in the way it does now.

Please read my comments before you respond to them.

Human vision is very, very, very good. If you think a camera installed to a car is even close to human eyesight, then you are extremely mistaken.

Human eyes are so far beyond it’s hard to even quantify.

And bullshit on you not being able to see the lights. They’re specifically designed so that’s not an issue for colourblind people.

Tesla’s argument of “well human eyes are like cameras therefore we shouldn’t use LiDAR” is so fucking dumb.

Human eyes have good depth perception and absolutely exceptional dynamic range and focusing ability. They also happen to be linked up to a rapid and highly efficient super computer far outclassing anything that humanity has ever devised, certainly more so than any computer added to a car.

And even with all those advantages humans have, we still crash from time to time and make smaller mistakes regularly.

I’m aware of the current shortage.

Unfortunately I feel we’ll be forever prone to this now that GPUs are useful for far more than just gaming. The market is being shared with people who are willing to spend a lot more for the same silicon.

During the Covid GPU shortage, my card died and I had to go back to my Geforce 9800 GX2. A monster of a card (in 2008).

I did not have a good time. But it was incredible it even worked at all.

I mean the galaxy note (2011) is still larger than plenty of phones now, so it doesn’t seem absurd. They were large and still are.

• Note: 146.9mm x 83mm x 9.7mm (total volume 118,269mm³)

• S25: 146.9mm x 70.5 x 7.2mm (total volume 74,566mm³)

The note is 59% larger. Yet people seem to look at the specs and say “it only has a 5.2” screen, it must be way smaller than the 6.2" screen phones of today"

I don’t get why reviewers conflate phone size and screen size. They aren’t the same.

Shit, let’s even compare it to the S25 Ultra (so the big one with a 6.9" screen).

• S25 Ultra: 162.8mm x 77.6mm x 8.2mm (total volume 103,592mm³)

The Note, despite the 5.2" screen size implying the phone is tiny in comparison, is 14% larger.

I’m tired of them quoting phone sizes by screen size as opposed to… well… the actual size of the phone.

Most people will hear 6.3" and think well my old phone was 4.3", clearly this is going to be vastly larger, completely forgetting that bezels these days are practically non-existent, whereas they used to take up half of the frontal area.

The original Galaxy Note had a 5.2" screen. By modern standards that’s puny. You’d assume that phone is absolutely tiny. Yet the Note is actually 14% larger than the current S25 Ultra with a 6.9" screen.

HDR is kinda complicated right now.

As it stands, it’s only available on the Plasma and Gnome desktop environments.

The HDR stack on Linux has went through a lot of change recently, and much of the stack has only just been finalised/standardised. It’ll take a while to mature, and to arrive on distros like Mint.

No

Strange (or maybe not, I imagine there’s a lot of overlap with the work they do and constructing homes).

I won’t complain about more houses being built.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s bigotry to dislike Nazis, but you do you mate.

You wouldn’t want the Signal brand to become linked to it.

“I’m on Signal, would you like to chat there?”

“What, on the MAGA Nazi app, are you joking? Of course I’m not talking to you there!”

Ideally you want a broad spectrum of people.

I know it shouldn’t make a difference and people should base their views strictly on the technical and usability aspects of the app, but real life doesn’t work that way. Perceptions matter.

I’m sorry my lord, but you did say to add the white wizard… How was I to know there were two of them now??

I had the exact same thought. By the sounds of their announcement, yes!

The Stardew Valley preview is an opportunity for you to get involved, test it, and let us know what you think. It currently has all the features needed to help you easily mod Stardew Valley, such as mod updates and installing collections.

I need to remind myself to install this when I get the chance. Navigating the site for every mod, downloading them, extracting them, deleting old mods, and moving them over is very tedious to do on a steam deck without an external monitor/KB+M

One of the many games in my steam library that I bought and still haven’t played. I need to force myself to play some games…

TIL. You’d think Wikipedia would mention that! Unfortunate.

Unfortunately they cost a lot more or often don’t exist.

Plus, many of us are over-stressed and overworked as is. Going to 5 different places to buy your stuff was a lot easier back in the days when most things were in walking distance and only one person in the household had to work full time.

Not sure where you heard that, it’s headquartered in the UK, founded by a man from Yorkshire, and the current CEO is French.

Tbf, I think all of them took advantage of COVID to some extent

The card thing is annoying though. Tesco seemed to have pioneered it, and now Morrisons and the Co-op seems to be doing the same. Not sure about others.

Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, M&S also aren’t on the list, actually. But then again I don’t think I’ve ever seen them outside the UK, so maybe that’s why.

E: I’ve been told elsewhere that Morrisons was taken over by a US equity firm.
