Which is why I said “technically”.

Technically, MacOS doesn’t cost money to use and has no ads.

They are the OP.
2·3 days agoThanks. Now I can upvote it without my OCD torturing me.
Oh wait, that comma is using a different font weight! 👀
I’m joking, I’m not that far gone. Yet…
Does he mean to say that he stepped into shit or into a “shit Sherlock”? Because if it’s the former, there needs to be another comma:
No, shit, Sherlock.

The light bird had it coming. I voted for dark bird because it won’t eat MY babies.
They meant to say “Control or* Backspace is Space”, right? Right?!
1·6 days agoOh yeah, I didn’t zoom in to check. Just assumed it was unreadable. Z6 does in fact has stuff on the belly, according to Google image search.
Some hypercars actually have a flat undercarriage to maximize aerodynamics. Also not all HotWheels are depicting real cars, so they might not have realistic underbody. This could be one of those 2 cases.
Technically, it’s not about the display technology, but instead about the signal/tuner. More specifically if it’s analog or digital. Some modern TVs still have analog or hybrid tuners for backwards compatibility and regions that still use analog, so they can display static. For instance, in Ukraine we finished the switch to digital TV only a couple of years ago. If your TV had no digital tuner (as was the case for many) you had to buy a DAC box. Retirees/pensioners got them for free, sponsored by the government.
Can we very briefly touch on the logical inconsistency of the “your body, my choice” crowd losing their shit over being told to wear face masks?
I don’t expect them to see this inconsistency, but wanted to touch on it anyway.
I’m doing their music course and it includes a song called Spanish or Vanish. With some lyrics, too.
7·9 days agoI’ll have you know, that I have it on good authority (from the ever rational and totally not an echo chamber Hexbear) that the invasion is actually very successful and Russia is winning. By a lot!
While the post is clearly a shitpost, and the arguments in their provided form are not entirely valid, they could be altered to be valid.
Purpose-built devices will always have advantages over generic “do everything” devices. A modern smartphone can do everything, but you still have MP3/FLAC players, DSLR cameras, calculators, etc. Similarly, a PC can do everything, but there are still TV sticks, gaming consoles, tablets, etc.
PC can’t be as low-friction as a console for gaming. To start playing all you need to do is pick up the controller, press the Home button, TV comes on and you’re back where you left off. All the games in the store are 100% compatible with 0 settings manipulations.
Now, you could build a PC for the sole purpose of playing games on it, and come fairly close to the experience. But you’re gonna spend more and put a lot of effort into it.
Some issues you might encounter:- picking and installing the right OS
- hardware/software compatibility
- controller support
- seamless sleep/wake
- lack of HDMI CEC protocol to control the TV
Whereas a console is a plug-and-play tailored experience that guarantees all of the above to not be an issue.
TL;DR: You can’t just plug your PC to a TV and expect the same result as playing on a console. It will take much more work to get there.
I think the way you worded it doesn’t make it obvious that you’re criticizing the graph specifically and not the os, hence your downvotes. But yes, that graph is absolute mess.
