I dunno. But if AirPlay works by sending your screen over wifi, it might be a bandwidth issue. Streaming video from youtube to your phone and then from your phone to a TV can be quite intensive, especially with modern phones being 1080p or more, which takes more bandwidth to stream to a TV. I’ve had this problem on a slow wifi on Android, and there’s not much you can do to fix it besides upgrading your router.

However, it doesn’t mean that’s exactly what is happening here. Certainly someone could be throttling video quality on purpose and we wouldn’t really have a way to prove it. With how shady and monopolistic big tech companies are, I wouldn’t put it past any of them (google and apple)

Oh, for me it’s the opposite way. I’ve never had problems with AUX, the cable was always there in the car and I also used to always carry one with me.

When cars started having bluetooth, the aux port disappeared, and I never managed to have the same experience of just “connect and go”. Sometimes headphones take over your bluetooth mid drive because the lid opened accidentally, sometimes it disconnects for no reason at all. If someone has google auto connected, nobody else can connect the bluetooth to play their music. And it drains battery way faster than AUX.

I wish cars included both options, but for some reason they completely forgot about the AUX.

I’ve never tried the controlled temperature seats though, I’ll have to try those. The idea certainly sounds good.

B-but capitalism breeds innovation!

Basically the same thing as when you fill a non-stick pan with water. Hydrophobic coatings only repel water in a way so that it doesn’t stick to the surface. That’s why they use hydrophobic coatings on windshields, so the droplets of water slide easily and quickly.

Granted, the effect is more noticeable with hydrophobic coating than with non-stick coating, but if you were expecting the water to visibly float away from the walls, that won’t happen with either. Reality is sometimes disappointing, huh?

Something that isn’t Windows or MacOS. The BSDs for example 😉

Oh, the starbucks “thing” isn’t even coffee. You’re not losing anything by not going.

CocaCola did what?? Why didn’t I know that? Guess I’m a pepsi guy now, wow.

Username checks out

It’s funny because in spanish it means Documento Nacional de Identidad (National ID). Given the context, I immediately thought of that instead of Do Not Interact

F2 is universal, it’s been there since before Microsoft. It also works on Linux and most independent software.

If your PC is in another language, that shortcut gets changed. For example, in spanish it’s Ctrl+G (G from Guardar, I assume). It may seem intuitive, but not every app follows this change. It’s also way more difficult to hit with one hand, as the G is further from Ctrl than the S. Localized shortcuts are a thing I never understood about Windows, and I hated it while I used it.

After that I swithed to Linux, and I’ve been using NeoVim for a few years now. Instead of Ctrl+S I now compulsively [esc]:w[return], which, now that I think of it, may be even worse.

The books they shared still had DRM on them. As we all know, if it has DRM you don’t own it. They never gave away any book, so I don’t see what they did wrong.

Indeed, the green cross is the symbol for pharmacies here in Spain and in most places I’ve been (including a bit of northern europe).

None of them sell cannabis. If legal to sell, it needs to be sold in separate stores, which usually don’t have flashing signs. Those stores can’t use the green cross as a symbol.

Someone said it before on the internet: Apple is not a tech company, Apple is a marketing company.

It is surprising how much the landscape changed in just 5 years. All the right wing parties got a boost, but most importantly, the ultra right and christian right parties. All those are surely going to want to implement ChatControl and measures like that because “We need to protect our children!”

I’m also scared of all the new Q-Anon type parties that last time didn’t even exist and this time won a few seats. Ultra right conspiracy theorists that now have more seats than even the pirates.

Also look at the results from Gernany or Austria. AfD and Orban. Pro nazi and pro russian parties. We’re going back in time for a remake.

Not in a game, but I’ve sometimes tried to Ctrl+F some text on a pile of papers.

But it was supressed with tan-

“Individual found dead in his house after typing a comment on a social media. Allegedly he tried to kill himself with 2 shotgun rounds to the head”

Fourthed

Yeah, where did you think square roots come from?

Superior to 7Z?

I’m not especially informed about this, but wasn’t 7Z better than any other alternative? I’ve seen some benchmarks and, while WinRar beats every Windows implementation of Zip files, 7Z is always faster and compresses more. Also, the 7Z file format is way more advanced than Zip, Rar or Tar, and it allows many forms of post-quantum encryption.

Maybe there’s something I’m missing?
