‘The Marvels’ Meltdown: Disney MCU Seeing Lowest B.O. Opening Ever At $47M+
  • Nah if it was good content people wouldn’t care. If it was truly “superhero fatigue” Invincible wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular as it is. It came out in a post-Endgame world and is one of the biggest shows on television.

    People will clearly happily still watch super hero content, IF it’s good.

  • ‘The Marvels’ Meltdown: Disney MCU Seeing Lowest B.O. Opening Ever At $47M+
  • I don’t understand that to begin with. They tout the whole “connected universe” angle but then if you look even slightly behind the curtain it’s obvious there’s nobody overseeing the lore between projects. Not when one is beginning while another is undergoing reshoots and rewrites. It’s not possible and it shows, just like how Tiamut has been sticking out of the ground in universe for like 2 years and all we’ve gotten is a joke reference in She-Hulk lmao.

  • apple users in a nutshell
  • I’m sure you have the options disabled that show this kind of stuff but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Anyone who is not tech savvy (99% of the population) will have no clue how to turn this stuff off or that it’s even an option.

    I guarantee any PC sold by any big box store or on Amazon will come with this stuff enabled by default.

  • apple users in a nutshell
  • Have you ever opened the start menu? There are ads there. Unless you’re using some release like LTSC or have a network-level Adblock there are ads in there. For TikTok, candy crush, Disney+, etc. it’s like the preinstalled bloat on some androids, they’re just ads you have to annoyingly remove from your start menu.

  • 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests
  • This is referring to the vast majority of users. At least for a few years

    The “vast majority of users” do not know what RAM is and they don’t know what expandable memory means. Nor will they ever open their own laptops. If the laptop is slow after a few years they will just get a new one.

  • Youtube Adblock Reckoning as a service problem?
  • Yep. They use and sell your data whether you block ads or not. So they’re still making money off of those of us who block ads. I don’t owe them anything lmao. It’s sad seeing so many people in other threads defending YouTube/Google while they’re increasing the price of premium and locking shit like background play and higher bitrates behind a paywall all while selling out data. Nah fuck em

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender | Netflix Live-Action | Official Teaser
  • These kinds of remakes are for the original fans as much as a new audience. There are MANY people who write off animation entirely.

    This is to expose new people to the story and hopefully some of those people will check out the original and see that animation is for everyone not just children.

  • Trump Trashes ‘Incompetent’ Biden Team — Seconds Before Mixing Up Two Entire Countries By a Lot
  • Yes it’s unfortunate Biden is still the democratic front runner. But he’s not on stage saying how old and dementia-ridden his opponent is only to have major mental fumbles minutes later lmao.

    Trump is really using the GOP namesake here- Gaslight, Obstruct, Project

  • GOP Candidates Got Away With Fake Claims About Abortion At Their Debate (Again)
  • You literally cannot trust a word any of these clowns say. After Roe was struck down they said “we’ll just leave it up to the states” and now that a majority of Americans are making it clear state by state that they want the right to control their own bodies they’ve once again changed their tune.

    “This is why a pure democracy doesn’t work”

    i.e. let’s subvert the will of the people. Trump tried and failed to do it too. I’m beginning to believe the worst words you could possibly hear from someone’s mouth is “I’m a conservative”

  • Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 100% Clean Energy Bills Pass
  • In the last two years Michigan has gone from being on shaky ground politically to being a stronghold for human rights and rejecting garbage. Now that Ohio is following suit with codifying abortion rights and legalizing recreational cannabis… Great Lakes region is stepping up!

    Fingers crossed idiot republicans don’t try to undo the will of the people.

  • 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple
  • Literally a lottery. I used to do laptop repair for my job. HP makes the shittiest computers I have EVER seen so you’re extraordinarily lucky.

    I lost count of how many HP laptops with broken hinges came across my desk. Too many. If you don’t know this issues exists it’s willful ignorance

  • 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro 'Analogous to 16GB' on PCs, Claims Apple
  • Yes, several. Acer Nitro, Dell Inspiron 7000 series, several Lenovo Yogas, too many HPs to even keep track… If you have done laptop repairs at all for work in your life it’s honestly not even an uncommon sight.

    Now in the last generation of MacBook apple made it so that the flex cables were too short and flexing the hinge back and forth over time would cause the screen to go, but I’ve never seen a MacBook with broken hinges from normal use.

    Other brands do not do this because it is cheaper. Most do not pass those savings off to customers.

  • Some Redditors say they're walking away after Apollo app shuts down
    www.businessinsider.com Some Redditors say they're walking away after Apollo app shuts down

    Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

    Some Redditors say they're walking away after Apollo app shuts down

    A popular third-party Reddit app shut down Friday – and some of the social network's users are pledging to walk away as a result.

    Some "Redditors" said in posts on Apollo's subreddit that they'll abandon the network.

    "I'm gonna be dropping it," one user wrote. "I just finished using power delete suite to purge my entire history over the past 8 years."

    Apollo founder Christian Selig said he would close down the app on June 30 after the company announced a pricing policy to charge developers an "egregiously high" price to access its API.

    Third-party apps do not display the advertisements that generate revenue for Reddit – a problem for a company eyeing a stock market listing.

    The app, which let Redditors access the platform through its own interface, had more than 1.5 million monthly users in June, Selig said, citing data from analytics firm Mixpanel.

    "I suppose I feel a lot of emotions," Selig told Insider on Friday. "I'm heartbroken that an app I loved building and so many people enjoyed using over the years has come to an end so abruptly. And I'm genuinely surprised by how callous and dishonest Reddit has been toward developers, moderators, and the community as a whole over the last few weeks."

    He said he felt "incredibly fortunate" to have built and worked with an "amazing community" who helped shape the app: "It's been the journey and honor of a lifetime, and I wouldn't have changed a thing."

    The Canadian developer previously said Reddit's demands for compensation were unreasonable compared with how much money Apollo made from paid subscriptions.

    "I'm going to quit mobile Reddit," said one user. "If it's not Christian who brings me news, memes and (let's be honest) porn, then I don't want it."

    Another said it's "goodbye Reddit, not just goodbye Apollo. Switched to Apollo once Alien Blue went away. Have tried Reddit's official app; unusable is an understatement. Instead of getting used to a new app, I've been practicing getting used to no Reddit. End of an era."

    Opponents of Reddit's changes have argued the company was built on the free labor of independent developers, and they should not be required to support Reddit financially.

    Major communities on Reddit opted to go dark to protest the API changes, significantly reducing the amount of content on the service. Certain communities have labeled themselves as mature, therefore making themselves ineligible for advertising, to reduce Reddit's revenues.

    Reddit did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours.
