I was pretty tolerant of YouTube ads up until a year ago, when they started playing unskippable food ads which I morally disagree with. No amount of “not relevant” made them go away so I’m hardcore ad-free now. I even tried YouTube premium until they decided to jack up the price on my second month of having it, so fuck em

I read this as “YouTube will push even harder for non-skippable ads, and content creators can’t stop them anymore”

Xbox One announcement (E3 2013): "YOU CAN TAKE MY DISKS FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!

Current Year (2023): “Disks are outdated and dead, who needs em anyway?”

Y’all forget way too easily and they are starting to prey upon it.

Every platform is different. The maintenance manual won’t tell you as it’s not part of maintenance. If you really want a piece of literature then you’ll need a factory service manual, but no offense if you don’t know what you’re doing you WILL cause damage to your vehicle (or even yourself if you accidentally mess with the airbags)

Cars are built in modules, so there is definitely something you could disconnect to prevent it phoning home. You might need to take the dashboard apart though.

There is nothing preventing the car from starting and running without it. As long as you have a key fob it will attempt to start.

He’s documenting his progress on YouTube, pretty interesting!

I was pretty on-board with FFXV until the exact moment I realized the boat portion was supposed to lead you to a LOT of cut content instead of literally 1 other area. Definitely left a bad taste after that. I feel like it could have been a masterpiece if not for issues during development that I can noticeably feel the effects of during gameplay

I think it’s worse here on Lemmy tbh

Edit: wait fuck did I just do it by accident?

I’ve run into an issue once in the advanced power options in Windows. Under “processor power management” check to see what the minimum and maximum processor states are.

(note: don’t set the maximum to a low number, it makes the computer unusable. Found out the hard way lol)

Samsung phones aren’t very custom-ROM friendly

Boy how the times change. Back in my day, Samsung devices had their own dedicated community. RIP SDX-developers

Just picked up the HD remake and was thrilled to see someone made a mod to patch out the film grain and motion blur. I’m puking rainbows.

Huh that’s not what I expected Dunk to look like. He’s really good in front of the camera, too

Why send it to the cloud when Excel is running on a perfectly capable hunk of silicon? That’s doesn’t make a lick of sense to me

Have you considered therapy?

“10 1/4 Inches” - they knew what they were doing

Guess the UK better get used to seeing “We’re sorry, [AppName] is no longer available on your country.”

That poor squirrel didn’t stand a chance

I would just move on at step 3

“RDBMS-backed CRUD persistence patterns” sounds totally like fake techno-jargon in a low-budget action movie
