99% of what we watch is from streaming (Netflix, YouTube, etc). A dumb tv with a Chromecast probably isn’t any better.

Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - DexertoEnglish1·22 days agoThats true, I once had to repair my washing machine and I could only find 1 video about the same model and same repair. It was a large Russian man that I could not understand (this was before auto generated subtitles).
Anyways, I just looked at the video and copied everything he did and I fixed my machine.
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - DexertoEnglish5·23 days agoI pay for nebula, they have a lot of educational content and the price is low enough that I don’t mind it
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and LinuxEnglish4·26 days agoYeah true, but these are more business to business. RHEL support is pretty expensive, and in my experience Oracle support (maybe not really open source) is both terrible and ridiculously expensive. Maybe this will create a market for more consumer like support. Maybe that could even create new business models for open source software.
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the modern design trends you hate most?221·1 month agoI have been a software tester for a long time and I really fuckin hate these JS frameworks that try to reinvent the wheel but worse.
Like why is a fucking table now a bunch of divs? Why is a drop down (select) list a bunch of divs? With disappearing html blocks when you close the list?
HTML worked fine, why are we reinventing basic HTML but worse?
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the modern design trends you hate most?201·1 month agoWe use gitlab and I knew my coworker commited something yesterday, I deployed a new version yesterday but I wasn’t sure if I deployed before or after his commit. Why do they just show yester instead of a normal timestamp. Do these developers think we can’t read?
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the modern design trends you hate most?47·1 month agoEverything is a fucking service! NO, I don’t want to spend 2.99 every month on a app that reminds me to take a pill.
Even hardware products that basically are scrap metal if you don’t pay a monthly fee.
Or and I know this sounds crazy, we (I actually mean you) collectively agree on laws that gives everyone a couple of paid vacation weeks a year.
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Denmark to raise retirement age to highest in EuropeEnglish4·1 month agoThank god in the Netherlands we are not and we did not elect a far right party as the biggest party, oh wait…
I hostely fear for the next 5 years, with far right (and anti science, anti woke, anti freedom, anti any progressive idea people had after 1950s) gaining more traction.
I first thought you wrote boolean float, not sure if that’s even worse.
I don’t know how this works in the US, but where I live after a year subscription (let’s say for your internet provider or something). They can only renew per month. So if the year subscription is over you can cancel any service every month and they can’t hit you with any fees.
Back in the day if you’d forgot to cancel your plan you’d be stuck with them for another year. It sucked!
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kiddingEnglish3·2 months agoI can only watch it with revanced and sponsorblock, otherwise I’d just watch some of my old downloaded stuff.
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk is running out of ideas to save Tesla51·2 months agoAlso don’t promise stuff you just can’t deliver on. Like how a Tesla would be full self driving in 2014 but next year, or that amazing truck that would be the end game for every company moving stuff, or the new roadster from 2017
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump team reveals lack of expertise – and patience – as it threatens to abandon Ukraine peace talks2·3 months agoYes and even if he would be smart, I know really smart people that would probably suck at running the economy. Having 0 experience doing something makes you a n00b by default.
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump team reveals lack of expertise – and patience – as it threatens to abandon Ukraine peace talks4·3 months agoThe weirdest thing is that people expected a buch of real-estate guys to somehow be good at international diplomacy.
I don’t expect my butcher to also be good at cutting my hair!
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What hill will you die on?English1·3 months agoNot literally, but way too much, and I didn’t even realize how often I grabbed my phone without even thinking about it.
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What hill will you die on?English4·3 months agoI recently got a small basked a little larger than my phone. I put my phone in it when I get home from work. It’s a good example for my kids and it helps me to actually be present with my kids instead of being on my phone half of the time.
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What hill will you die on?English8·3 months agoI really hate services that use 2FA but the app runs on your phone. Like the android app for ms teams still wants me to enter a 2FA code that I recieve on the same phone! This adds zero extra security, the teams app should just directly ask for my fingerprint if that is even necessary.
Camelbeard@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How are my fellow Americans preparing for the upcoming apocalypse?3·3 months agoNot American but from EU, have a 3 day survival box with water and food.
There is a real chance Russia at some point attacks, I don’t think they will drop a nuke any time. But they might try to sabotage the electricity network or financial system. So if a large (cyber) attack happens my family has enough for 3 days, a week if we have to.
The article states that’s what the privacy policy sais samsung can sample every 500ms and LG every 10ms. It doesn’t really mean they are, but it’s definitely possible. A very basic way of detecting content is to take a 1000 pixels evenly spaced out over the screen and store the color values. That gives you something you can match against a database. You don’t need to process a 4K screenshot for this.
