It's unreasonable to expect YouTube to provide its services at a loss, but there's also nothing on YouTube worth watching an ad for. Hopefully the whole site falls into the Myspace-Digg Memorial Hole of Obscurity.

Ah yes, the mistake you've made is in assuming any thought other than the next quarters metrics was put into this.

Hopefully the whole site falls into the Myspace-Digg Memorial Hole of Obscurity. This is literally impossible now. TikTok is the only thing to come close, but it never replaced or supplanted anything. Startups becoming huge isn't a thing that's ever going to happen again. All of their business plans end in "get bought by Apple or Google."

Nvidia Shield mutes if you hold the volume up and down button at the same time.

I assume the V+ and V- buttons on the Nvidia remote are separate, but I'm picturing forbidden tech like those people who take apart their nintendo controllers to saw the D-pad in half.

Am I and the other person saying "use your loving phone as a remote" invisible? Why does anyone tolerate collecting a pile of single-use controllers in tyool2023 when almost everyone carries around a general purpose computer in their pocket? Edit: "Oh poo poo my horse is acting up! Maybe it's angry that it has to share stable space with my Ferrari!" Man what.

Because I use my phone for other poo poo and because physical buttons let me do whatever with one hand not looking at anything, let alone having to re-open an app. I use my phone whenever my fire TV remote dies but I replace that poo poo ASAP

Because I'm tired of having to use my goddamn phone for loving everything all the time and at the end of the day I just want to fling it into a different room and forget about it until tomorrow. Also physical buttons make more sense to me than having to look at a second screen to change what is happening on the first screen, I tried that poo poo before and it felt silly.

my main tv I use a fireTV cube which has gotten substantially shittier over the last 5 years, now running almost as bad as a fire stick despite being a dedicated $100 set top box. but at least the remote lets me control all of my poo poo at once, and I can start the TV and receiver both by saying "Alexa TV on" from the kitchen. All for the low low cost of constant audio surveillance

I think our Walmart is experimenting with making cashiers only accessible with their dumb customer program. Also after redoing the self check out lines and getting ppl out faster the hold up is now the old lady checking your bags on the way out. In addition they removed two full parking lanes for pickup only so parking is way shittier.

"Why does anyone tolerate collecting a pile of single-use controllers in tyool2023 when almost everyone carries around a general purpose computer in their pocket?" Because specialized devices are more convenient and better adapted to the function they serve, op. Yeah, I could control my lights using a stupid barely functional app, or I could flick a switch, something I can do while entering the room at the added cost of exactly 0.00 seconds. Or I could change the volume on my speaker using yet another app that takes 20 seconds to load, or I could press a physical button. Etc., etc. "smart device" apps can be two things - either a novelty for children, or a cost cutting measure by the manufacturer (for which they are likely to charge you extra). steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Oct 28, 2023 |

Me to my guests: "If you want to turn the TV down just install this app, create an account, then scan that qr code to request access from me." edit: "Same procedure if you need to turn the lights on or off."

I did hear that if you want iot appliances, it's probably smart to keep them all on a separate wifi network because there isn't much focus on security for your toaster.

I'd love an electric 90-00s pickup. Just electric drivetrain and manual everything else. gently caress modern cars, can't work on anything and costs a fortune to fix anything.

They're super rare, but there are electric Ford rangers made from 98 to 02. Super easy to replace the charger and batteries to modern tech. I'd love to find one.
