Yes this isn’t a new thing. Weeks ago I read a headline talking re a Microsoft ad in the Windows lock screen. I didn’t have ads in my lock screen but I can imagine the annoyance for those who had ads.

Windows 11 didn’t enable Onedrive in my Documents, Pictures and others. I’ve used local storage since I bought my 💻. I hope Windows 11 won’t suddenly enable Onedrive. Folks will riot if they’ll do such a 💩 act.

No. The promotions annoyed me but not extremely. Anyway, it’s been 👍 to know I could always switch to Linux. There’s @level1linux if I wanna know more re Linux. I think Wendell’s an expert.

When Chatgpt 1st shook the tech world, I said thanks and please. Then at some point I stopped. I’ve just wanted to enter my prompt very fast. Grok 3 and Claude 3.7 sonnet (extended thinking) have been my go-to llm but when in a hurry, I just use the Gemini voice assistant or Meta ai – I have the Messenger app.

Me too. If Chatgpt is like this, it won’t be as controversial as Google’s glue pizza.

Saw this just now. Don’t have many memories re my April 13. On April 10 my tummy was extremely painful and I puked. Diarrhea, I think. I took loperamide. I rested on the succeeding days, including 13. On 15 I was 💯. No more pain.

On another note, the past few days were OK. Hot weather but I endured. I oft thought re 👍 food and drinks. Those were some of the stuff that made me :).

Lately I viewed Close encounters of the 3rd kind. Hasn’t been my cup of tea. Boring plot.

But I’ve liked the time dilation aspect. The previously missing didn’t age. Maybe their velocity was so high relative to Earth’s velocity before landing on Earth. Maybe they were near a supermassive black hole. Maybe both?

It’s a flick so maybe it was magic, not time dilation.

The Youtube channel @gsmarenaofficial has been 👍. Concise reviews. His 📱 reviews have had thermal throttling which many reviewers have omitted. His 📱 reviews have had detailed cam discussions too.

Gsmarena has had text reviews too for folks who’ve liked those.

I visit these sometimes for tech stuff. Not text reviews but more like news –

I fretted that the Bulls’ win crushed the Lakers’ morale. Seemed not. Doncic, Bron and Reaves cooked. What a luxury for the Lakers having someone who can score at will when badly needed – Doncic. Circus layups even when defended well. Long step-back 3s. Nba finals experience. He’s young so he can improve greatly.

Edey played hard. Since the news that the Lakers looked for a 👍 center before the trade deadline, I’ve appreciated 👍 centers more. Adebayo, Edey, Gafford, Lively and others.

Many thanks. Your plot is so 👍.

I’ve not expected a reply with so many physics equations. I’ve just disliked opinions that’ve probably contradicted reality. Your reply is exactly what I hoped for. Many thanks.

By “motors”, were you referring to internal combustion engines? Sorry, I have little vehicle knowledge.

From your explanations re revolutions per minute and fuel consumption, I think gear 1 doesn’t mean max torque and lowest power, and max gear doesn’t mean lowest torque and max power, right?

He can post here and on another platform (like Instagram) so the users won’t think of switching.

Your Sync is still 👍 so I suggest staying.

My Voyager’s been smooth. Also, I finally have the crosspost feature. Sync doesn’t have it. I prefer Voyager’s implementation of crosspost over the Lemmy site’s implementation. By “Lemmy site” I mean going to lemmy.world on my 💻’s browser.

Many liquid hand soap items say antibacterial. There’s no evidence that shows that antibacterial soap is better than plain soap. I hope there’ll be many soap items sans antibacterial agents.

Phones are like 💻 now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –

At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are 👍. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already designed a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.

So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn’t clean and the pic quality is below average.

So hard to make a 🔋 that’s 2 or 3 times better than the old 🔋. The tech world has been so hungry for a 🔋 innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it’ll succeed in mass production.

Been using my Samsung a70 for almost 3 years and I knew re touch sensitivity only lately. I don’t want scratches on my screen so I’ve always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I’m on my 3rd tempered glass.

I’ve noticed that more and more apps are requesting my location. 😑

Yes, it doesn’t mean much if the fine is 0.0001% of Android’s $.

Sm supermarket and Puregold. 0.25 has been so low that I haven’t cared.
