No reason in particular. I can’t get interested in video games anymore. So I have unintentionally replaced my free time playing video games with reading. If I could manage to get interested in a video game then I would still play it.
When you design a new device from the ground up you make them fit in a way that allows the remaining space to be a single large rectangle to be entirely filled with battery. This might require custom PCB to have some L shapes. If you want to target a specific weight and having that much battery is too heavy then you make the device thinner. Instead it looks like they took pre-existing components from other devices such as Pixel phones or the Google Home and put them in a larger case.
It’s not necessarily a problem that this device exists how it is, but that it is a cheap way to go about it and yet still sold at a premium price.
Yes, but at $500 the profit margins are still huge. This is like a $200 tablet being sold for $500. It probably costs $50 to manufacture.
It seems to be primarily for a Japanese audience.
I see. If someone is yelling obscenities at you then its probably ok to yell at them too although I wouldn’t bother personally. I don’t think this poll can mean anything though as I imagine everyone has different understandings of what a “speaker” is and is doing.
It seems taste buds vary a lot too. 😅
What does it mean to “Shout down a speaker”? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?
The taste of coffee varies a lot. Instant coffee tastes bad to me, but grinding my own coffee beans and making it fresh with a little bit of cream is amazing.
I started reading regularly. Been doing it for a few years now. I think it was exactly what I needed in my life. I pretty much cut off playing video games and replaced it with books. 👍
How is this not illegal, but sending spam emails is? What a messed up world.
It can be an argument if you want, but it seems more like a discussion to me. I refute the idea that gifs are horrible and obsolete. You even give a use case in your post. If I have a 1 second looping image I’d much rather use a gif than a video format. So I believe they should work on Lemmy. The rest of the internet has no problem supporting this format.
Gifs are extremely efficient though. There is only downloading and no decoding necessary to play it back so it has no impact on your CPU. If you have a screen full of 1000 GIFs then your CPU won’t start melting. Try playing 1000 video files on your computer no matter how small they are.
However, there is no reason for a 50mb GIF to exist. If you actually have something that is longer than a few seconds you should not use GIF.
They are still good for alternative builds of Android such as GrapheneOS. Ideally I wouldn’t support Google at all.
I dream of an ad free future.
Your link doesn’t lead to anything, but if you are trying to suggest the supreme arbitrarily decided Bush won the presidency then that is factually incorrect. There was a court case about Florida’s ballots in particular that happened to be enough to sway the outcome of the presidential election.
The supreme court doesn’t decide the president of the unite states so probably nothing would happen. It would be very strange of them to make such an irrelevant declaration though and people would lose faith in the sanity of the courts.
I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. Lots of bandwagoning going on. It is what it is though. People are fallible and often just follow the herd instead of thinking.
Traps are technically illegal.
What’s mildy infuriating is your attempt to advertise your app here. I have ad blockers, but I kind of suspect this site has ads on it somewhere.
