Mr.Radar posted:Since Youtube changed to round the subscription count, because LTT has 10s of millions of subscribers it will only update to show changes of at least 100k. They have managed to lose at least 100k subscribers: https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/linustechtips Not to be a buzz kill but when the precision is showing going from 15.6 mil to 15.5, without knowing exactly how YouTube is rounding, the possible number of lost subs could be anywhere from 1 (losing 1 sub when you have exactly 15,600,000) to 199,999 (losing 199,999 subs when you have exactly 15,699,999 subs. If I had more data of how many days it takes them to tick up 0.1 mil subs, it would be possible to make a much better estimate.

If this was a large US corporation I would say now is the time they'd hire a big law firm to do an "independent investigation".

Worth noting that Chong rose to prominence by being an early adopter of gamergate. Also like others have said he's one of Musk's hand picked twitter blue payees so he has been posting like crazy trying to get eyeballs. He's even doing the milquetoast open ended question tweets that tends to get a lot of engagement when posted by others.

That the new CEO hadn't yet made any big changes in upper leadership/creative to have people he selected certainly bodes poorly. Give everyone worth keeping (i.e Luke) the smallest amount of equity in exchange for becoming Exec Vice Presidents with no reports.

Vic posted:Part of me really hates reading some takes about LTT because I see them as a bunch of extremely successful bumbling idiots who would totally ignore or downplay what Madison's talking about. Something I realized from following pro wrestlers and twitch streamers is that the kind of person who floats to the top in both industries will tend to have the just world fallacy and libertarian/right leanings imprinted on their brains. Very rarely consider their luck or privilege. They're at the top because they are a unique and singular genius who has the work ethic and drive that the others don't: their success is proof of that. And even if they haven't internally or externally formulated those opinions, it takes one call out on their behavior/actions to surface them. Others lash out at even mild criticism because they realize how precarious their success is. So don't worry, if your favorite internet person isn't doing that stuff now, there is a good chance you'll live long enough to see it happen.

Brian (Mr Regular) came out of the closet in 2021 at the age of 40 and he's been working through some stuff. His coming out video "Learning to Be Gay" was really touching, but content warning for suicide/self harm.

Sydney Bottocks posted:I don't get the impression Madison is planning on suing LMG, unless there was a tweet or something I missed. I'm guessing that unless she has someone willing to represent her cheaply or for free, she probably can't afford a lawyer (I am not an expert on how these sorts of things work in the legal system, Canadian or otherwise). BC has a human rights tribunal that covers employment discrimination. But it looks like the complaint should be made within 1 year of the conduct/event.

The TV guy from Labs who hasn't been on the channel much was one of the lead technical people from RTings. And he did a lot of on camera stuff for RTings. RTings is based in Montreal so they would have had to move cross country. https://ca.linkedin.com/in/brandon-dickerson Edit: The audio guy also came from RTings. https://ca.linkedin.com/in/samvafaei waffle iron fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Aug 30, 2023 |

I think it's reasonable to throw out the first run ensuring the caches are warmed up because that is largely going to be the experience of someone playing a game. They not testing CPUs and GPUs in the abstract, they're testing them for suitability/value in playing 3D accelerated games and to a smaller extent productivity tasks like decompression and 3D rendering.

Again rebooting many times an hour is not a quality of normal computer use and it wouldn't be representative to test that way.

gradenko_2000 posted:This is more of a general computing question: are there versions of Bluetooth like there are versions of wifi? For most people the newer versions of Bluetooth are useful because they bring Bluetooth Low Energy. A generally more efficient and less battery consuming protocol vs classic Bluetooth. It was introduced as part of BT 4.0. Edit: Beyond that the newer versions have support for newer better audio codecs.

There are serious journalism type reviewers who will either only buy items from retail to test, or if they get a review sample return it to the manufacturer. But those kids of folks seem to be few and far between. And the computer and electronics manufacturers know the devices and phones they give away to "review" will curry favor. Computer and phone manufacturers, somehow more corrupt than other consumer focused industries.

The FTC is clear that receiving anything of value has to be disclosed. https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/disclosures-101-social-media-influencers And I think most competition and commerce regulators outside the US do too. Shame that there have been relatively few enforcement actions by the FTC besides big name celebs.

A while back I watched a YouTube clip of an old DC cartoon and it took months to stop having 20% of my recommendations be 3-5 minute clips from animated TV shows. And like others said I watch YT on my Chromecast Google TV where there is no way to avoid it. At this point I'm in the habit of deleting stuff from my watch history and using "don't recommend channel" a couple times a week. As far as what I'm watching. I've gotten really into a channel where a guy buys retro server equipment from the 90s to mid 00s and gets it working again. https://youtube.com/@clabretro Playlist with his series on Sun servers: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjeznAUfx0OfCseO3gKOvEjw3oHgHLRlK&si=fe5td64VS-xpJcW1

Being an ineffective nonprofit is much different from a fraudulent/unlawfully acting nonprofit. It's very embarrassing for him to not have dispersed a large portion of the holding, but not illegal. Doesn't sound like self dealing or self enrichment. At best we're talking about administrative action by the IRS to lose tax exempt status. It's why these days everyone uses Tiltify because they immediately pass the donation to the affiliated nonprofit.

Tiny Timbs posted:In Edge there’s a function to convert the webpage you’re looking at into an app you can pin to your taskbar. It looks and functions like a dedicated app. If there is a little install icon in the URL bar that's a progressive web app (PWA) and all chromium browsers do that. I assume Safari and Firefox do as well. PWAs have the ability to launch while offline and other stuff that was previously only possible with extensions. PWAs coming into existence was why Chromium app extensions went away (only ChromeOS still supports them).

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Wait, what did Rossman do? Full Chud conversion? Bumhole toucher? Tore one of those mattress tags off? I have watched very little of him, but I believe it's him being a small business tyrant, constantly complaining about NYC taxes and then during COVID started to do lots of stuff complaining about the homeless in NYC. Also some anti vax stuff and publicly claiming his business wouldn't comply with what he claimed was NYC mandating vaccines for business (?????). Then he moved to NH for his freedoms. Probably full on libertarian brainworms on the treadmill to right wing psycho. Basically he's only right about right to repair issues and I assume everything else he believes is a poo poo show. And even the right to repair stuff is very self centered because he needs a part supply and pairing tools to repair Apples products, what I assume was previously his most profitable repair work. waffle iron fucked around with this message at 02:29 on May 11, 2024 |

That's pretty much the procedure with the iFixIt parts and guide for my Pixel phone. Except instead of an over-engineered heater block, it uses a tubular heating pad to soften the glue, a suction cup ring to start separating, and a guitar pick/playing card to cut the adhesive.. The adhesive replacement is nearly identical as well. I like the look of Apple'sadhesive cutting tool that limits the depth of the cut as not to damage any of the ribbon cables, but a tool with a lip isn't particularly novel.
