Maybe you should pay attention then.

What you’re doing is wasting people’s time.

Use a card. NFC is not a necessity.

Not to mention the metal hook lock on most room doors I’ve seen that can prevent anyone from entering while you’re still inside.

Fair enough.

For me personally, I love having technology from right before the explosion of Bluetooth integration. For example, I have stereo receivers and other sets of speakers that require that 3.5mm jack for input. Not having that jack on my current phone (Pixel 8) has made it more annoying to use these devices. Also, I still have an iPod Classic that I used to use exclusively in the car but now I have to carry it around more so it can be used with my old stereos.

Also, I can’t stand the bluetooth latency; especially in the car. If I’m parked having lunch somewhere, I can’t watch a video without a terrible audio desync.

I still value the 3.5mm jack.

You haven’t given your reasoning. You’re given nothing to “come at”.

Y’know this guy seems intelligent enough to come up with this scheme, but not intelligent enough to keep a low profile. I honestly don’t understand that.

Personally, I’d do the math to pay myself a living wage with this so that my actual work salary is nothing but a cherry on top; manage it so it seems like hype is ebbing and flowing in a natural way. If you ever figure out a way to break the system like this, you should never act in a way that draws attention to yourself.

If you don’t mind trading sound quality for convenience, I suppose. Bose has been a snake oil provider for decades.

I see what you did there.

I’d argue this as well. I see it in a similar way. Linus is obviously not trying to sit on some high horse and condemn piracy, he’s just calling a spade a spade.

New account = new TOS I imagine?

If you remember the VCR days, imagine your hard drive is a copy of Bambi. You, in preparation for a family event need a tape to store footage of the event on. You decided that you haven’t watched or wanted to watch Bambi in a long time so you designate that tape as the one you’re gonna use when the party day comes.

At this point your hard drive (the copy of Bambi) has been designated as useable space for new data to be written in the future.

Bambi is not lost yet and wont be until you write to that tape, therefore if you wanted to you could watch Bambi in the time between now and the party even though you plan to overwrite it. Once Bambi is overwritten, its no longer recoverable but the interim between now when you designate it as useable space and when the space is used, the data persists.

Droidcam OBS is a perfrct example of this shit. Took me over 5 minutes to disable all the “legitimate interest” options. Pure cancer.

Of all the current media subscription services, this is the one I have no issue paying for. The service I get for the money I pay is appropriate. I’ve taken my own measures to limit the amount of PII that Google can vacuum up from my life as well. I’m fine with them knowing what I like to watch and providing algorithmic recommendations for new content. I police said algorithm aggressively to ensure its always on topic and never trying to show me ragebait or shit I don’t want to see.

When the day comes that the cost outweighs the return I’ll stop paying for it and use Grayjay or Newpipe or whatever other option there is. If its a full on dystopia by then, well y’know what? I don’t need Youtube to survive. I’ll be fine without it.

You should look up the definition of the word “meme”.

Have you not heard of the Steam Deck? Steam’s own hardware is running Linux for gaming… SteamOS is Linux…

KDE really is nice. It can be a little bit buggy when messing with themes and panels and stuff but overall its nice. I’ve got it looking like waybar and I’m really enjoying it.

For GrapheneOS, is there any reason to use anything but Vanadium?

You’re not wrong. The inertia people have towards this stuff is unbelievable sometimes. You will be fine without marketplace. You’ll survive if you don’t see fresh content on Reddit every second of your life. People act like FAANG is fucking Kuato growing out of their abdomen, inseparable but through pain of death.

Life existed long before this exploitative shit.
