Depends on what. The most common thing i see is that the kids mess with either the keyboard and or the screen, which you’re basically forced to scavenge another broken Chromebook for because the replacement parts are pretty much like half the cost of the chromebook

If it’s something simple then yea I agree, but kids are menaces against their chromebook so damage usually ends up being on the extreme side.

Chromebooks sound good in theory but fall short because kids are great at breaking them and there is a lack of repairability.

There is also chromeos being kinda ass

In a better universe apex and tf3 could have existed at the same time

Unfortunately we live in the universe where games as a live service is the only model that big companies run on, which means all resources must go to just that one game

Neat list, but imo photoshop is closer to being called a photomanipulation/image editor than photography. lightroom is the more dedicated photography software.

Also I wouldn’t call paint.net an alternative to photoshop. I love paint.net but its a relatively simple image editor and its functionally limited even with plugins.

Youtube is not all bad. The algorithm is, but the vast amount of content on it means that theres some genuinely helpful stuff. Videos about repair and fixing, educational videos on any subject in the world, videos about acceptance and self love

There’s no hope for facebook though, except the not so facebook marketplace (im gonna need a resurgence in like craigslist for that)

I was going to say it couldn’t have been a decade but then I realized the last time I used Skype was about 2015 2016…

That sounds more like free advertisement for Signal

“Our product is banned on twitter!”

Public utilities are cheaper than private ones. And it’s not like there aren’t city programs for low income. Cali is far from being the most progressive (in comparison to the rest of the world) and they have plenty of assistance programs for all possible utilities.

They censored certain phrases and words, which they plan on no longer enforcing. I agree that they leave hate speech on the platform (reports rarely do anything) but the looser restrictions mean people can post even more hateful content and that paves the way for discrimatory ideologies

I dont think fact checking was the main reason, moreso that they decided to allow hate speech (e.g. They’re allowing targetted hate against LGBT groups).

What? League is consistently the top result of twitch. Even accounting for other regions, league is by far one of the largest games people watch in na. Big na streamers pull in thousands of viewers (doublelift, tyler1 for example)

Bill Gates in this episode looks like he’d have nanomachines

10 years ago was like back when hallowed armor was endgame and mech bosses were the last bit?

There’s so much more content now that honestly makes the entire progression completely different

Theres also a wealth of mods now that acts functionally as a whole new game as well (calamity being the biggest one)

At least it does mean your cat can never turn off your pc ever again with this

Good for you! I’m still waiting for the day the tech world unionizes and push back on the recent horrendous decisions

Yes and no. In a perfect world, people would be able to uphold their ethics. Unfortunately, in the real world, people don’t have that luxury. A job is their lifeline to basic necessities, and sacrificing their job might mean going to debt for many. Especially if you are young and without many options due to the lower level pullback in the tech sphere.

The issue is that people who find an issue with it and don’t want to do it will get told off by management. Then management just replaces them with someone who is willing to do it (for job safety, or simply because they don’t care)

Thats just how big tech is

In their memo announcing 5 days RTO they also said they’ll be increasing contributor to manager ratio. Guess they meant that by firing a bunch of managers

Id see it potentially being useful for starting a problem. Could probably point you towards the right direction for physics problem even if the numbers are off

One example are most telltale games which still are still playable but not purchaseable (poker night at the inventory being the most recognizable for me since the associated tf2 items are also now that much harder to obtain)
