I’m just waiting for the moisture farmers to get landspeeders

And it will hallucinate and give wrong answers

Wirecutter and RTINGS both do a lot of testing and reviews, including for headphones.

The mass application boom is so annoying. Seeing a sankey diagram of someone who applied to hundreds of jobs always bothers me.

You would carry a gas can

I set my phone to auto download playlists and podcasts on WiFi, so it isn’t really a problem. I think there was one month when I had to buy extra data so far, and that still ends up being cheaper than being on a plan with more data.

Getting paid for on-call hours would be cool. If only.

I got mine a little over 4 years ago and am still on the original toner. It gives low toner warnings but just keeps on printing.

Twitch having 1400ish employees before the layoffs doesn’t seem too crazy, right? Cutting 35% is insane, though.

I used Edge a bit at work because it feels like Office365 stuff runs better on it, but that might be placebo.

Same. The tab sync from desktop to mobile is also really cool.

I didn’t mean it as whataboutism to justify China’s situation, just as a tangent about the US also having work to do. I agree, now that you said it, that it looks like whataboutism.

Hopefully the drop in the US over the past two years turns into a longer trend.

Gini above 0.4 bears a high risk for social unrest

The US in 2022 has a GINI of 0.488. Not great.

This is kind of tangential, but white noise backup alarms are neat.

Tab groups?

Maybe this is a better question for degoogle@lemmy.ml, but:

What’s a good way to get off Google Photos and Drive on my phone? It looks like Proton seems like the right fit, but compared to Google One for $20/year, Proton for $120 seems like a bit much. I guess you’re paying to not be the product? Although, shoot, my VPN auto-renewed for $100 a year, so I guess I’m already paying $120…

I liked Deep Rock. I started playing it during the pandemic with some friends instead of doing in-person board games (and Jackbox and boardgame simulators got old). I definitely ended up playing more single player than multiplayer. Buuut I probably haven’t played it in a year? It just got really samey after getting through a lot of leveling up and unlocks.

Zuck’s Bluesky clone?

My dad’s VW Touareg could tow like 7700 lbs, which is more than a lot of trucks and easily enough to pull plenty of boats and campers. Even a compact SUV that can tow 3500 lbs can pull some boats and campers as long as people don’t buy giant oversized versions of those, too.

I don’t get where all the chunkiness came from. Even ignoring the bed length and width, what is all that extra height doing?
