I did that with Sling specifically so I could watch Doctor Who. BBC America would put enough commercials in to make a 45 minute episode last 1.5 hours and would break in mid action. I was so offended that I canceled it completely and decided I was ok watching episodes a week late on Amazon. I’ve never looked back.
- Comment on Firefox is getting rid of its 'Do Not Track' setting and what it's being replaced with is a bit of a bait and switch for privacy concerns 1 week ago:
Oh yeah let’s bash on Firefox again for some reason while ignoring everyone else
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 5 weeks ago:
Being electric isn’t the problem. These are design choices that assume that things will always be perfect.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 5 weeks ago:
Any safety feature that requires you read how to use it has already failed. During an emergency, you have to know, intuitively, how to escape. It’s why panic bars exist on doors.
- Comment on Reddit communities will require permission while going private or switching to NSFW 2 months ago:
There are definitely a whole lot of people here who still frequent it or we would not keep seeing these posts. I’m with you: I don’t get it.
- Comment on Intel’s entire turnaround plan hinges on this one new chip family: Intel’s first 18A chip slated for high-volume manufacturing 2 months ago:
It’s interesting that the article never defined what an 18A process is.
- Comment on 'Please halt this activity': Not-so-open OpenAI seems to have gone full mob boss, sending threatening emails to anyone who asks its latest AI models probing questions 2 months ago:
So since their model is shitty, they feel the need to personally attack users rather than fix it. This is like online games where they will ban you for accidentally clipping a wall.
- Comment on Zillow’s upgraded AI search will show you more homes you can’t afford 3 months ago:
The person who wrote the article really feels disconnected from the average person.
- Comment on Zillow’s upgraded AI search will show you more homes you can’t afford 3 months ago:
Samesies.
- Comment on Sam Altman accused of being shady about OpenAI’s safety efforts 4 months ago:
What got me was that they kept mentioning in bold letters that it was fully in the office. I couldn’t get past that fact, it was so petty.
The job was for a Jamf engineer.
- Comment on Sam Altman accused of being shady about OpenAI’s safety efforts 4 months ago:
I was looking into moving to San Francisco and found a position I was qualified for at Open AI. This was right before ChatGPT dropped so it wasn’t a high profile place yet. The job posting raised my hackles. I kept staring at it and couldn’t figure out why, but really gave me the creeps—something about how it was written made it clear that it would be unstable and I’d be living at the whims of bad people. I’m very glad I walked away.
- Comment on This prototype turns your car’s windshield into a giant AR display 5 months ago:
It’s notable that commercial jets have this sort of thing but it limited to a small panel that you can look around.
- Comment on Multi-day DDoS storm batters Internet Archive. Think this is bad? See what Big Media wants to do to us, warns founder 6 months ago:
That’s not how it works. You use Linux which means you can play with Lynx. You can view the base website without the JavaScript and go straight to the content.
- Comment on Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO 7 months ago:
Uh. No. Still not ready my dude.
- Comment on Netflix: Profits soar after password sharing crackdown 8 months ago:
Netflix still has the best catalog out there. They also have the most refined user experience.
- Comment on Google fires 28 employees after sit-in protest over controversial Project Nimbus contract with Israel 8 months ago:
These people knew they’d be fired and didn’t care.
- Comment on Google’s latest layoffs are in finance and real estate 8 months ago:
They own property and need people to manage it. They may be preparing to close offices and have permanent WFH for some groups.
- Comment on Google merges the Android, Chrome, and hardware divisions 8 months ago:
So Google wants out of the market. Gotcha.
- Comment on Microsoft: Copilot ‘app’ on Windows Server mistakenly added by Edge 8 months ago:
They lost an antitrust suit over this precise behavior back in the early days of the web. Bill Gates went and pulled a Kavanaugh in front of Congress.
- Comment on No, TikTok Is Not ‘Programmable Fentanyl.’ Stop It 8 months ago:
If it’s true as stated, they were searching for questionable videos the whole time then felt shock when one was suggested to them.
- Comment on NASA confirms origin of space junk that crashed through Florida home 8 months ago:
The Earth is big. That atmosphere is bigger. Still, we’re going to see more and more of this happen over time even though it probably isn’t really a problem.
- Comment on U.S.: Responding to the “gunshot detection” tool ShotSpotter, a Chicago police officer opened fire on an unarmed teenager 8 months ago:
Your arrogance is compounded by your ignorance in assuming that they are from the US. Lemmy is an international service.
- Comment on U.S.: Responding to the “gunshot detection” tool ShotSpotter, a Chicago police officer opened fire on an unarmed teenager 8 months ago:
Cultural narcissism. People are obsessed with their rights but don’t think in their responsibilities.
- Comment on Founder of Baldur's Gate 3 developer blasts publisher greed 8 months ago:
This is one thing I have noticed. Gamers salivate so heavily over every little thing and jump on the bandwagon in such numbers that developers don’t need to do too much to earn money. If people were more selective, the whole landscape would appear.
- Comment on Founder of Baldur's Gate 3 developer blasts publisher greed 8 months ago:
Yes, I am precisely the same. I get free games through Twitch that sometimes appear in one of those stores and I redeem them but refuse to actually install their launchers. Only GOG and Steam on my systems.
- Comment on Founder of Baldur's Gate 3 developer blasts publisher greed 8 months ago:
Yeah I’m getting really sick of SLAMMED and other clickbait nonsense appearing in headlines.
