What you describe is the main reason that’s stopping me from 100% leaving Reddit. There isn’t enough variety and there isn’t enough activity in communities that isn’t in the few popular ones. At the moment it feels like +80% of current users fit into a specific demographic.

I think that says more about the channels you watch and your viewing habits. I enjoy STEM and STEM related channels; I don’t experience the same as what you’ve described.

I’ve never clocked on that the colors are in the order of the rainbow. Mind blown that it’s taken your comment to highlight this for me.

I also like that the colors surrounding are shades of lightness… cough cough let’s ignore the brown.

The racist term I was taught when I was a young person

(Color of darkness) (fatherless children) (coerced non-consensual reproduction activities) our (new people to the world) (XX people) but (pure people) go without.

I hate reading resistor color codes because which is the correct orientation for the resistor. Band gaps and positions on real world resistors don’t stand out as much as what the theoretical charts show - so I always meter them anyway.

At least normal European people are locked into a platform that doesn’t care what device you’re using, unlike iMessage - so it’s not all bad

We just sent the code, provide the phone number we sent it to

I generally have already decided what to purchase before I load Amazon’s website. I also rarely purchase cheap white label products, and so Amazon’s reviews are mostly irrelevant to me. I’ve rarely needed to return items too and recently they were all my fault anyway, eg, not quite the dimensions I thought I needed.

I’ve never heard of anyone use a shop’s reviews to decide what product to purchase, so you’re literally the first to me.

If I want a product that I have no idea about then I’ll go to forums, YouTube channels, etc about that type of thing and see what they say about it all. They’ll be people who’ve done product reviews and comparisons. And so they’re the people with the knowledge and their the people that care.

So in your example of wanting a guitar pedal I’d be visiting music and electric guitar places on the internet to gather knowledge on the product range.

Once I hit the online store, I’ve already decided what I want to purchase. And so the store reviews are more about the seller themselves and whether the product is genuine/fake, or a good/bad version of the white label item.

Fakespot has always felt inaccurate to me. Once every 6 months or so I gave it a go to see if any of the updates have improved it but it never felt like it did to me.

Furthermore, I don’t see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.

The only issue with projects like LineageOS is that the camera usually sucks because the full fat camera driver isn’t released to the public, it’s only the basic driver. The camera can still take photos but all of the features you’ve become accustomed to are not there. This was my experience and what the LineageOS team said during the Samsung S5-S8 days.

It’s 100% what professionals do to repair traces. Please don’t spread misinformation.

Just link out the broken trace with a thin wire. This is what the professionals do. The original traces are carbon to reduce manufacturing costs.

Killed it, as in they were awesome and won, or as in unalived. The quote by itself could mean either.

I pulled some data off some old Samsung 1TB SSDs that werent powered for 3-4 years without an issue either. I guess they were SLC based on what others are saying.

I guess it’s a your mileage may vary situation depending on the exact drive you purchase and probably other factors too.

Burn the Tesla with the phone, gotcha

To me it seems the title is misleading as the research is very narrowly scoped. They provided news excerts to the LLMs and asked for the title, the author, the publication date, and the URL. Is this something people do? I would be interested if they used some real world examples.

You and I have completely different views and experiences on this, as I don’t agree with your statement at all; which is why I think you’ve misunderstood.

RIP. I guess you live in the back end of no where.

I think you’ve misread my comment or there is some misunderstanding.

Just in case, it’s a misread, my speed is 40 Mega bit per second - not 40 mega byte per second.

I have to choose what I want to do and do those things with consideration, otherwise things like streaming will buffer a lot.

If you thought I said 40MBps, then I’d agree, as i imagine the difference between 320Mbps and 1Gbps won’t be noticed unless you’re timing large downloads.

I have a 40Mbps down, 5Mbps up connection for $30. Consider yourself as real lucky.
