I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.
The fuck does no real bills mean? Does eating, rent and gas/insurance not count as real bill?

Auditory torture
Gods, I relate to this.
My wife watches Big Boss which is like Bog Brother everyday.
My toddler has some song or the other playing all day long.
I can't put my headphones because either of the two keep talking all the time.
When my inlaws visit:
My dad in law is a media person, so he's on the phone the whole darn day.
My mom in law sing-songs her words.
My sis in law doesn't remember any song past the first two lines, so she sings the two lines whole fucking day.
I live in a hellscape of my own device.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake
Reply in thread
I don't even care about other features. The tiling home screen of the OS was really nice to use and when used properly by the apps could result in a "live" OS unlike the iconographic interfaces of iOS and Android. The homescreen was also old-age friendly and really a pleasure to use.
The OS ram like really smooth on 512mb RAM, unlike their counterpart android phones which were struggling back then with 2-3GB RAM.
The lumias themselves had a ton of useful features like tap to wake etc, which didn't consume much battery and in general the Nokia cameras were top notch for the time.
Basically, the OS got killed because of a chicken and egg problem with the apps, and the OS being from Microsoft, got a death knell because of the reputation. Also for some fucking reason, Microsoft decided that the already low userbase WP7s were to be depreciated rather than provide an upgrade path fo WP8 and WP10.

Best way to transfer local files to my Android device.
Why do people sleep on KDE connect? It does a lot of things really well and is OS agnostic.

Can't wait for shitty plyboard furniture to be marked up 489% because we got to import them from China/Vietnam or other SE countries.
Like seriously, what even gets made in the US that is reasonably affordable and is of a decent quality.

ROCm Is AMD’s No. 1 Priority, Exec Says
Reply in thread
Unable to read the paywalled article, but ROCm is like Nvidia's CUDA for their GOUs. These used to be supported on and off for consumer GPUs, but get aupported mostly only for datacenter ones. Linux used to be supported, but they are bringing ROCm to windows as well.
Probably AMD is planning to improve support for consumer GPUs, since their GPUs are competitive to Nvidia's at a lower price point, given that local LLMs, Image generation and other AIs are in a kind of a booming trend.
Currently, Nvidia has CUDA which is more or less the industry standard, so AMD with their ROCm and Intel with their OpenVino etc are trying to chip away at the monopoly.

ffmprovisr: app to help you through the FFmpeg command generation process
Reply in thread
Not necessarily, generally the defaults for most of the tools tend to be sane, but when you have a swiss army knife with dozens of attachments, you'd still need a manual to figure what is what.
Note that many tools use ffmpeg under the hood so users are generally never exposed to the various options. But sometime if they need to, cheatsheets like these are really useful.

Oh absolutely. I wear socks with sandals because my soles sweat and make my sandals sticky.

Microsoft to test “new features and more” for aging, stubbornly popular Windows 10
Windows laptops generally get trashy battery life, and if this going to tank it further, I'd just run Linux full-time on my family laptop and call it a day.
The only reason we had windows was my wife's comfortability and sometimes zoom glitches out on linux.

Absolutely. My wife flew to her parent place with our toddler and I dont have any idea on what to watch.
All I'm watching is nursery rhymes since they're catchy as all hell.

My dad and my wife begin telling their anecdote and it finally involves me in having a mental and emotional breakdown trying to figure put their point.
I used to fight them initially into telling the point in the few seconds to no avail. These days, I just tune in enough to listen every 10th word.
