I’ve really upset the gamer bros here…

It’s mostly marketing. Films are perfect at 24fps and gamer bros think they can see framerates ten times that.

I’ve never seen any difference with the top two with that test. My monitor is 144hz and TBH I might as well have saved my money and got 60Hz ones.

We’re not all hardcore gamers trained to see miniscule differences.

Happens with americans too… they seem to completely miss sarcasm sometimes. Humour is very cultural (and often plays into things a native of the country would know but someone outside sometimes wouldn’t).

There’s a lag between human activity and climate change. Rolling out nuclear might have helped a bit, but whether we’d have seen the results today I’m not sure… the benefits would be in the future.

I doubt cars could have evolved any faster though (well they could, but capitalism, so realistically things went as fast as they could)… so it might not have had much impact at all.

androidpolice have had lots of articles about ad blocking and picking the best one etc.

Then they won’t let anyone view the site when they follow that advice…

Our legal system basically relies on the fact that criminals are that stupid.

No it hasn’t, not even slightly.

That one is a lost battle, alas. We’ll have to hack our browsers to make them secure, or download them via VPNs from the US.

TIL… I thought it was some low budget channel they’d bought the catalogue of

Ad floods happen semi regularly… they get banned fairly quickly though.

It’s 1000 pages apparently, and applies equally to lemmy/mastodon servers.

So unless you’re into reading lots of legal text, running a server in the UK just got a whole lot messier.

Just before shutdown you’re at the terminal so something like this https://github.com/stolk/imcat on the image at the end of shutdown script might work.

Ads pay miniscule amounts per view… I’ve heard it said the £12/month sub is about hundreds of times what they get from ad revenue per user. So they spam them everywhere… the more ads the better.

Which means people block the ads because they’re obnoxious, and they make nothing…

I presume apple users do occasionally…

I guess this is a way for google to force apple to open the protocol since they can’t just open it in the EU, so it affects the US too. But the EU don’t have to listen to google… if imessage is such a minor player they may just leave it alone.

I’m surprised stackoverflow haven’t sued some of them… they literally steal the content and stick their own name on it.

He can join the queue then…

Lots of new sites starting up. Most don’t last a year.

It looks to me like they were counting some windows variant as ‘Other’ for a time.

Holy shit… 1Tb drives too…

Raid 0 on 3x500GB triples your failure rate (especially important on older drives, as I presume these are), and still won’t get anywhere near an SSD in speed.

You could just mount the 3 drives separately and have storage that way, which means if one fails you’ve still got the data on the other two… it’d still suck but not as bad as losing everything.

If it was me I’d wait until I could afford the SSD… it’ll be many times faster and newer.
