It’s not just the resolution but also the CRT tech. It smooths out the image because the pixels themselves are different.

Honestly I’d just suggest telling your ex-wife that it’s email only from now on.

Welll, the orange man made everyone’s 401Ks drop, now every company needs to enshittify even harder so the American people can get their retirement funds back on track lmao

The whole system can get fucked.

MacOS has weirdly fast paging and shit, you don’t feel the lack of RAM immediately. But in the long run it’ll kill your (also soldered) SSD so that’s even worse for heavy users.

I think phone apps have more to play with as well nowadays. A Galaxy A55 can have 12 gigs of RAM now. That used to be considered overkill for even flagships, let alone midrange phones, just a few years ago. Plus both operating systems will suspend apps running in the background when needed.

Also the only time I’ve heard “memory is cheap” used IRL was in backend development. Because it’s cheap to scale up memory on your servers, but not cheap to spend a day or 2 hyperoptimizing a solution that’s fast enough. Dev time is expensive.

if you make your payment processing website unusable on 3 year old mid-range Android because adding 10 MB more Javascript increases ✨Development Velocity✨, there’s a special place in hell for you.

Look, I hate bloated websites too (in fact I hate most websites in general, give me a native desktop app that doesn’t use Electron or Webview!), but if a 3 year old midrange Android gives you trouble loading things, maybe blame the manufacturer. I flashed a custom rom on a 2019 Oneplus 7 Pro and it’s super fast now compared to the last version of the official ROM that it got. It’s my secondary device. Primary is an iPhone that’s 2 years old and showing any signs of slowing down.

Yeah, most people don’t really need it because most people have Wi-Fi at home and most people use their laptops at home. Business users may actually need to use them on the go and potentially in places with no Wi-Fi. But even most business laptops only get used at the office, at home, or maybe on a train (those also tend to have Wi-Fi).

So it’s optional for business laptops and not even available for most consumer laptops because if a business can save 20 euros per device on a thousand devices every 3 years, they absolutely are gonna take that option and a lot of home users are already buying 200-300 euro laptops that are basically good for nothing. They ain’t gonna pay extra. Unless it’s a gaming laptop, but those are tethered to the wall at home 90% of the time too.

Really, the only people who really need it are those who have to go work in the field somewhere sometimes.

I watched the car headlight one. I’m pretty sure it’s not your fault it took longer than specified. The kit should’ve started with smaller grit numbers. They had you start with 2000, I FINISHED the sanding part with 2000 before the polish when I did my own headlamps on one of my cars. Though I didn’t use a kit, I went to a parts store and just picked out the products I needed.

Also if you do need to do it again and want to get a kit again, some have drill attachments, making your life significantly easier. They’re not expensive either.

Anyway, nice video. Hope you’ll continue to make them, though on PeerTube I don’t imagine you getting rich off it. I think having fun and populating the fediverse with content are good goals all on their own.

What’s missing from Jellyfin for you?

I’m going to migrate over soon personally. I canceled my plex pass instead of upgrading to lifetime a few months ago because I felt like Plex was going to go down enshittification alley soon. I haven’t used Jellyfin much though, so not sure what to expect at this point. I don’t have a lot of users luckily

Can those be watched somewhere? I love me some repair videos. Cars mostly but other stuff is great too.

It could just be that for a lot of people their only exposure to German is that clip from Der Untergang where Hitler gets super pissed and it does indeed sound like yelling in German is way more aggressive than yelling in English - but the other people in the room don’t yell back at him and there’s nothing aggressive about their speech.

That and the videos of people pronouncing words in different languages and of course ambulance is said in a normal tone while Krankenwagen is yelled because stereotyp funni, but that’s based more on how the words look when written down I think.

Kui keegi mind otsib siis olen keldris jahtumas ja nutan normaalset kliimat taga.

Jokes involving racial stereotypes can be funny and inoffensive if what you’re making fun of IS the stereotypes, not the race. The writers of Airplane! being Jewish themselves, I reckon they knew exactly what they were doing. At least the bearded plane is clearly an example of making fun of the stereotype, not the people.
