Do the British not rinse dishes after washing them?

  • The GeoGuessr World Cup Is the Entertainment I Didn't Know I Needed This Week
  • Good find, I had assumed people around here would at least have uBlock Origin with at least one Annoyances filter on (or similar), this is possible via Firefox mobile as well. I didn't get the prompt as well on desktop, probably because of the Annoyances filter that blocks the consent prompts anyway.

    Here's an archived link, not sure if that helps: https://archive.is/qHSPD

    I was just scrolling through my youtube recommendations out of boredom and then suddenly, out of thin air, youtube's algo comes in with a rare W: The Geoguessr World Cup 2024. This is the sort of entertainment I didn't know I wanted lol.

    I only managed to start watching when the semi-finals were happening and my god, it was way too thrilling than I expected it to be.

    How China’s first AAA game Wukong Became One of the Fastest Selling Games in History
  • I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly, the prerequisite for a video game to be a "runaway success" is to do well sales-wise in the west? Why is the source of sales that important when the article mainly praises and discusses the game's launch figures, behind-the-scenes, the studio's lore, etc.... like any other video game articles do? The author isn't suggesting the sales are doing well in the west, so what warrants discussion of the games' sales in the west in the first place?

    The article's headline alone says it's "One of the Fastest Selling Games In History". If we take the revenue value in the article to be true ($852 million in revenue in 2 weeks), then it beats Elden Ring by around a $100 million, give or take, in the first 2-week period (I'm assuming each copy costed 59.99$, so 12 million copies roughly translates to $720 million in revenue, since actual figures were never revealed, I think).

    The article also states that it sold 10 million units in the first week, oh wait actually, that's 10 million in 3 days, beating other games that took at least a month to reach a similar milestone.

  • love how commenters around here haven't wasted any time to downplay the success and zeitgeist surrounding this game.

  • what blind "brand loyalty" to Apple and sinking cost fallacy combined looks like:

  • Huawei's new smartphone has more than 3 million preorders as Apple launches its new iPhone

    The Chinese smartphone maker has outpaced Apple in China since releasing its Mate 60 Pro smartphone series

    Lol. Sales stats for the iPhone 16 and Pro aren't out yet, or at least I couldn't find any. Will update this post once the numbers are out.

    Did your country recognize Palestine before the Fairly OddParents?
  • simply put, i thought it'd be more interesting to do it that way

  • Did your country recognize Palestine before the Fairly OddParents?
  • baited

    or should I say, Barbaited!

    it seems like they used the wrong colors if they intended to draw Barbados though, otherwise I couldn't find an exact match.

  • Measures to take when buying a used phone?
  • I think I'll stick with vanilla for the first few months and then consider an AftermarketOS, I've used Huawei's EMUI before so I think I have a little bit of an idea what to expect with MIUI, even though they're not the same.

  • Measures to take when buying a used phone?

    Hello, I bought my first used phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro) and was wondering what are the best practices taken before using it. I've read the reviews of the merchant selling the phone, looked into ratings and asked some questions about the condition of the phone, so I'm sure of my purchase on that end.

    What about after receiving the phone? I know I would run a factory reset, aside from that, is there anything else to do?

    Huawei looks to upstage Apple with product launch just hours after expected iPhone 16 unveiling
  • would be awesome if Xiaomi also decided to join in the fray and just launch the 14T and 14T Pro early (seems the Xiaomi T series usually launches late sept/early oct), just to taunt Apple

  • Tesla's Cybertrucks are being mistaken for garbage cans by dumpster-diving raccoons!

  • Company creates "solution" to address school "vaping incidents".

    Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

    EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".

    Bidet anyone?
  • funny thing is, which shouldn't need mentioning, but here we are, you end up spending a lot more over time that you otherwise could've saved with that $30 bidet (because yeah, consumable products).

    FOSS RTX Voice, one that doesn't require expensive hardware + libre licensed dataset

    I know that the standalone RTX Voice application allows GTX cards to be used, but bear in mind it's only for GTX and RTX graphics cards. What about AMD graphics users? What of those that don't have RTX 5 Billion or AMD RX 8 Billion?

    The second thing that would be addressed in a hypothetical FOSS alternative would be the dataset the AI relies on. While it may not be useful for end-users, for developers this could be used for their respective projects, or maybe even a fork?

    Or maybe users could contribute to the dataset by recording random potentially unwanted noise? Idk, the possibilities may be considerable.

    There is this project though to be honest it's too much to take in at once for the uninitiated and time-constrained like me. What RTX Voice does right is it is simply one software and one separate virtual driver. Set the microphone you'd like to be suppressed and set RTX Voice as default. It's almost Plug n Play in a way.
