20 Blunts posted:i was one of those schmucks that signed up for Peacock for a football game....it is by far the worst running streaming app I've had on the PS4. It ran like poo poo right out the gate. Paramount is still the worst one IMO. In Dec it wouldn't load at all for me on a Fire stick, even after reinstall. Now on a "good" day, it lags like crazy and takes 3 times as long to load up as any other app

Firefox desktop (with appropriate UI and options fixes) is a solid browser. Firefox android has the previously mentioned inexplicably psychopathic tab handling behaviour thing. Fortunately they've opened the Android one up to many more extensions so hopefully someone does what the UI team wouldn't or couldn't.

After reverting to the previous non broken version, the developers of the Kagi iOS Safari extension have boldly decided to break it again in different ways. Why is this so hard? The fixes they claim don't even work!! quote:1w ago If you search for something on Google then click the "News" or "Images" tab, Kagi hijacks the click.

cat botherer posted:Yeah, there's a number of free programs to check CPU temp for Windows (and other OSes). You'll also want to check if the lagging due to memory or CPU. If it's thrashing from needing to use a bunch of on-disk virtual memory, temperature is probably not the culprit, but a computer shop is still probably overkill. It's possible for Chrome to have some misbehaving extensions or even malware. Might be worth it to try switching to Firefox. Thanks! Fingers crossed.

Google assistant on Android no longer lets me use the assistant button to do voice commands without going "Hey Google" Now it just searches for whatever you say, so for example "set an alarm for 1 hour" gets me YouTube videos that run for exactly an hour It's dumb

The usual behavior I see on other forums is to limit long quotes to preview windows and let the user choose to expand them. I confess that'd be nice to have here in threads where multiple people do the "empty quote a 2000 line shitpost" thing, especially on mobile.

I have 3 idiots on ignore because if they don't like the discussion they will spam an image 50 times and then start quoting each other and theres no way to bypass it on the android app so I just ignore them and anyone repeatedly quoting them or else I spend a minute or two trying to find a real post to read.

Lynx works well enough for something awful, probably just going to switch to that once firefox becomes AI riddled trash. I was on chrome until this year but I'm making a real effort to totally rid myself of google products.

I used to be able to get Amazon delivery in 2 days. I was never sure how that was possible honestly, but for years it was the case. Post Covid, that's turned into 6-7 days. Which is fine, but big change.

I had a google home for a number of years until a year or two ago. It steadily got worse and worse until I was using it as just a glorified kitchen timer. Great to hear it can’t even do that now, apparently.
