Just curious, do the later posts ever get as many likes as the ones in the early pages or the latest one? Just anecdotal, but I see most likes coming in when posted at the beginning of a thread as that is what almost anyone new to the thread sees, and then most skip to the most recent content...

If Season 1 was 9/10, would rate Season 2 as 6/10. Basically more of the same with illogical sequences, worse acting and a poor ending.

Not sure what the shipping will be, but can let go of the case alone for 350.

Nope, they only specified the number of respondents and how they selected the mix to match with census distribution. Problem with internet surveys, since they don't even know if people responding belong to the demographics that they say they do. We joke about exit polls with a much larger sample...

It was purchased in August of last year. The bootloader is unlocked and is presently running LMODroid since it is on the much more stable Android 14 release with December security patch. I can flash the official HyperOS on to it if needed. I can also lock the bootloader, but several have been...

I scrolled through it. There are 1021 respondents which they say they have weighted (that they only know) for gender, race among others. I wouldn't call their demographics as being evenly balanced, so whatever works for their survey I suppose.

These agents are supposed to autonomously conduct transactions on and off the blockchain. One would assume they will augment pump and dump further. If you believe in crypto bros, then they are the agents of change. But then the entire crypto market is all hype and this is the next cog in the wheel.

Unfortunately, even radicalism comes in flavours and is highly subjective. For most of right wing topics, you would find X and Truth Social leading the way. In general, the lesser regulated and moderated platforms have the most extreme content and BlueSky hasn't really been able to scale up...

You can still get past most app checks with root if you are using KernelSu or APatch, but some apps have moved to checking the bootloader or strong integrity which cannot be bypassed on most devices with custom ROMs. But I have no idea why people would root their primary device and use their...

Why do people start these petitions on change.org and expect multinational corporations to do anything but laugh at them? I don't think any government has taken these internet petitions seriously. At most, it brings people with a cause together but doesn't enforce any effective change. On top of...

It is simply about what you get out of it. While money is one aspect to it, the other is time. In my case, the time I spend on each device as well as time in terms of experience has made sure that I stop upgrading stuff that I am not going to use a whole lot. What has remained though is trying a...

For YT videos, use Stacher for the front-end which uses yt-dlp in the backend. Supports playlists, channels, subtitles and Sponsorblock as well. https://stacher.io/

That is the reality of India. Rather than creating value from R&D or manufacturing, most of the cost goes to middlemen at the expense of end consumers.

Don't remember exactly when it was purchased, but it was just before the Covid period. All controls work well and can record a session with gamepad testing software of choice prior to shipping. Would recommend changing the analog stick caps though as they seems a little worn out due to age...

Indeed, a lot of the startups have an ingrained exploitative culture based on the "words of wisdom" of those who made it before. Mind you the extra exploitation is aimed primarily at increasing the company value which benefits the founder/CEO tremendously more than it impacts an every day...

Trump's AI generated pic definitely features Matterhorn in Swiss Alps. Just an output of a prompt like "Trump beside a planted Canadian flag overlooking famous peak". Not a surprise to see this bias in training data. For trivia, the Paramount peak is Artesonraju in Peru. Not all peaks are the same.

To state the obvious, you can go the crack route for most and that is not owning, though one can argue neither is buying games from a digital storefront. A part of it is the convenience of it all but also most of the repacks you get on the web trigger antiviruses. Even if it is a false...

The banks have to use the card association rate on which they can apply a markup. https://www.thinmargin.com/blogs/visa-vs-mastercard-who-gives-better-exchange-rates As I said, the source of rates are different. That one is with a 0.12% markup on ECB rate. I will admit that I went off the mark...

The Visa/Mastercard rate is not the same as the Google/spot rate. It will always be higher by a percent or so and they mention their markup on their site. Sometimes it may appear the same, as the card network uses a rate from the previous day. You pay what is shown on the Visa/Mastercard...

Not sure if all videos are encoded in all the audio formats. 160 Kbps OGG and 128 Kbps AAC (m4a) are the usual ones. YouTube music is 256 Kbps AAC. Some online sites covert the file formats as well and present extra options.
