Serious_Cyclone posted:I am dreading the day my TV dies, it was the last generation of dumb TV and I know when I seek a replacement it’ll have to be a smart TV with smart features like data mining and ads that play between screen modes and rear end firmware apps that don’t work and Just use a monitor.

A HUNGRY MOUTH posted:Today I tried to use an American Express gift card (prepaid debit) I've had laying around for a while. I found out pretty quickly that online stores basically won't touch it, and some brick and mortar places might not either! Neato! "Lots of places don't take American Express" has been a thing since at least the 80s.

CaptainCrunch posted:I just opened Photoshop (I know, it's at work, it's what we use.) Is there an obvious superior alternative to Photoshop? You Are A Elf posted:Went to Peter Piper Pizza (and I’m sure this applies to other pizza chains with big birthday party vibes) to celebrate my nephew’s birthday and all the games were just bullshit trick, chance, and skill games to win tickets (which are now on a tap card that also doubles for tokens). I mean, the latter is easier than physical tokens and tickets, but there were no arcade games to play, the air hockey tables were gone, the carousel was gone, and even skeeball, the most ubiquitous game at joints like this was a single lane in a forgotten area. I don't know myself, but I've heard restaurant/arcades started skimping on "real" arcade games because they don't like the kind of customer they attract.

I honestly would just be like "whatever idc" about youtube shorts but there's no volume control, it's just mute or not mute, which is really stupid.

BigHead posted:Amazon has suddenly decided to endlessly advertise twitch titty streams to me?? Like I'm some 18 year old straight kid instead of a middle aged married gay man? I've started clicking "not interested" to at least thirty of these loving things and every day somehow there is another girl in a bikini doing a "stretching stream." It also somehow thinks I have a dog and speaks Spanish! What on Earth. Your husband is cheating on you with a Spanish-speaking physical therapist chick with like five dogs. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

StrangersInTheNight posted:i would argue this is because we have a world where designers legit designed towards this idealized future because they liked the look of it. like how tablet technology was inspired by the touchscreen poo poo in TNG. I'm 10,000% sure Alexa exists entirely because somebody wanted to finally make "Computer, do {such and such thing}" a reality.

Original_Z posted:I wonder how much longer until hardware becomes locked at a subscription. Buy that new microwave and washing machine for only $30 a month! Now everyone can own appliances, sure you'll spend more in the long run, but in the short term it's so affordable! Once you subscription lapses the machine stops working and bills you a huge cancellation fee and you also have to pay for the cost of courier to come pick it up! It's called rent-to-own and it's been around for decades.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Why do old people struggle so hard to comprehend the idea of a "podcast"?? It's just a drat radio show. They can get the idea of steaming video but not podcasts for some reason. It's the name. "Podcast" is outdated and misleading, and the fact that it even has a special term in the first place implies it must be something more specific than it actually is. And when that term is a portmanteau of two misleadingly specific technologies as iPods and broadcasting, people naturally assume it MUST be some tedious nerd bullshit, because no reasonable person would willingly adopt a made-up esoteric and oblique new gag term like "podcast" (that focuses on the drat equipment) if they could've instead simply used existing familiar words like "audio show" that accurately describe its content and purpose (entertainment!). Online video doesn't have these difficulties because nobody decided to make a jokey Frankenstein combo-term into the official new bullshit name for this concept that already exists like "telestream," or "phonecast," SidneyIsTheKiller fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Apr 29, 2024 |

Hippie Hedgehog posted:Like “reels”, you mean? Facebook “stories”? Or “tiktoks”? Sure, none of those are bullshit. I think I've only heard someone actually speak those terms out loud to refer to particular videos maybe once each, and it stuck out how lame it sounded. It's pretty much always "I saw a video on youtube/tiktok/facebook/online"etc.

thathonkey posted:im listening to my favorite audio show Yeah see how easy that is? If you want you could try compound-wording it like "audiobook". We could probably also get away with "radio show" even if it isn't technically correct - since it's a pre-existing term already understood first and foremost as a presentation format rather than a piece of tech (and it's analogous to a series on Netflix being a "TV show" even if you don't necessarily watch it on TV). "Online radio show" would probably cover all the bases for most folks. Hell, we could've just called them "iPod shows" and it probably would've clicked with most people.

Salt Fish posted:Yeah too bad your credit card chip sends them your first name, last name, middle initial and zip code. They take that data and cross reference purchased data from, for example, the secretary of state, bundle it with everything you've ever purchased and then sell it to other companies. The card terms of service still apply even if you don't make those details explicit to them. If this is true why do I never see any relevant ads or receieve any junk mail in the past year
