What’s a better search engine in your opinion?

I believe DuckDuckGo uses Bing as it’s underlying search engine, which explains a lot.

Interesting, tell me more please. I presume it requires loading a different OS image as standard iPhone/android OS images will pause apps and attempt to go into a deep sleep after a long enough period?

I have a few Kingston DTEG2. They all perform like the Crucial and the Samsung.

I’ve tried many SanDisk since that’s all they sell in the brick and mortar stores near me and they’re all trash.

Yeah exactly

I have a second SIM that I use for situations where I don’t want to give out my real number.

It’s a traditional PAYG SIM where I pay for a tiny bit of credit and it lasts until I use it. I need to make a billable once every few months to keep it active. So I just text myself once every couple of months. The $10 I put on it will last a few years before I need to top it up. Or I could just ‘burn’ it and get a new one.

They just hide your submissions/comments beyond your 1000 most recent contributions from your profile. The contributions remain on the website. I’ve found the only method to find contributions beyond the 1000 limit was to Google it or use third party archive databases.

With the new change workarounds to find old contributions will not be needed.

Me too. I still use Reddit via the website. I think Reddit is also in a negative place at the moment too. It seems that most things I see these days are negatively voted, or Reddit’s algorithm has changed and it mostly shows me negatively voted content in my feed.

It’s because he called the event ‘We, Robot’. So it’s fairly obvious that he wants to draw parallels between Tesla’s humanoids and the robots within the movie.

I was thinking about disabling explorer from running or at least kill it at boot up. And then using an alternative file explorer and task bar.

Linux doesn’t have the breadth of programs available that Windows does. Programs developed for Windows are sometimes better than their FOSS equivalents. Eg. I pay for Office, partially so my parents can use it and partially because it’s just a better set of programs than any of the FOSS equivalents. I generally only find the Linux programs are better when it comes to computer management and maintenance.

So I run Linux for servers and Windows for PCs.

What’s an alternative to explorer?

Unfortunately, just switch to Linux is not an option.

You clearly haven’t looked at either article. Parasocial relationships are weird.

I guess you’re right because I didn’t properly look at the hackaday article.

Alec has paraphrased the Tedium article. All of the talking points of Alec’s video is in the article.

The hackaday article just summarised the 16 minute video into 4 short paragraphs and linked to Alec’s video.

Edit: I like interactions like this (the comment thread since my first comment) because it highlights how easy it is for people to make judgements based on a lack of knowledge. It reminds me to try to not make assumptions.

Yes. I didn’t misspeak.

I disagree with your statement about not seeing this type of behaviour on Reddit and it appearing civil and intellectual comparison.

And Alec’s video is mostly a freeboot off someone’s article.

So this is a full on article and YouTube circle jerk.

Same SSDs are about 40% more expensive today than they were this time last year.

I dislike the pricing structure. Their family plan indicates the true cost of YouTube premium. To me it indicates that for a single person plan, the price should be about 1/3-1/2 of its current price.

If it really came down to it and they continue the current pricing structure, they I’d begrudgingly pay. And don’t get me wrong, I’d pay for it now if the price for an individual plan was more reasonable.
