New mobile features are sh*t these days
  • The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

    Nobody 10 years ago was saying "I wish I couldn't replace my phone battery" or "I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone"

    People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

    Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)

  • Internet Archive hacked, data breach impacts 31 million users
  • Haven't looked much into the breach, but probably the biggest issue is passwords. If unencrypted, and a user uses the same generic password for their email or bank or whatever, that possess a serious concern.

    This highlights the importance of not reusing passwords

    Edit: looks like passwords were hashed with bcrypt, which is really quite excellent. Very unlikely anybody is getting actual passwords from this leak.

  • I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium.
  • If this was true, you'd use an ad blocker, and donate directly to your favorite content creators. They'd see way more money, and you wouldn't be supporting an evil organization.

    They'd have more freedom to switch platforms as their revenue isn't directly tied to youtube, but rather their viewers. Freedom to switch platforms gives youtube incentive to run a better site and charge a more reasonable fee for premium features.

    But this isn't what you're doing. You're supporting youtube directly and supporting all their business practices in the process

  • Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games?
  • Just wanted to say I saved this comment to come back to, and I've been playing catrap and I've been really enjoying it. I like the relaxed nature of it. It's just a puzzle with no time limit and no penalty for fucking up

  • What music do you use for concentration?
  • A John Digweed mix is perfect for me and ticks all the boxes

    • No lyrics
    • Lasts for hours
    • Never gets too repetitive, changes over time
    • No starting/stopping between songs.

    I've done my best work to his live in Cordoba mix

  • I'm worried about telling my partner that I might have bipolar disorder.
  • depending on how long you've been with your partner, they probably already suspect it and so an official diagnosis isn't really going to change the dynamic between the 2 of you.

    If they like you, then they like YOU. No matter what labels have been applied to your personality

  • Completely depends on if your parents are in your life, if they're good people and treat you with love and respect.

    Also depends on your parents financial status, as well as your financial status.

    Most people my age (Millenial) are not as well off as our parents so it wouldn't make sense to support them.

    There is no single answer to your question other than "it depends"

  • Earbuds
  • Adapters are a cop out. Just put the adapters in the phone. It also means you can't charge and listen to music.

    Also while there are some natively wired usb-c headphones, I can't think of any. Any decent headphones will use a standard 3.5 or 6.5mm audio jack, and then the dac being built inwith those usb-c headphones means you can't use a seperate dac, it means you can't plug them into studio gear. It's just so incredibly limiting.

    There is already a universal standard (3.5mm/6.5mm jack) it carries analog audio, why change to a digital connection which requires digital to analog conversion? Why not let the user be able to have a dedicated piece of gear to do that if they wish.

    No professional equipment, or even semi professional equipment uses usb-c. It's a good old fashioned analog audio jack and it's like that for a reason

  • Earbuds
  • All these people saying they like wireless earphones are completely missing the point. Devices with headphones jacks can do both. Taking away the headphone jack means you have to rely on wireless earphones, which have all the issues the post describes.

  • Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
  • I just soft modded my old PS2 so I could boot game backups from a network share. So I'm playing Gran Turismo 3, NFS underground 2, Tony hawk's Pro skater 4, NBA street vol. 2, and GTA: San Andreas. Basically everything and anything my teenage self loved at the time.

  • I think having a single app that does that would be very inefficient compared to having an app like the one you're probably using, that can be configured to do exactly what you want.
