I’ve always been aware of this guy, but never watched him. He always seemed like an old guy acting like a young guy. Gave me bad vibes. I wouldn’t have guessed this at all. And im not just saying it becuase all this has come out. Ive voiced this opinion many times over the years. He gives of creepy vibes.

Im 36 and i often forget that the 90s were about 20-30 years ago. I forget im not 20 sometimes, until i throw my back out.

If I had to guess, they meant to say something like 25 years ago.

Or not. Im not them, i dont know.

Do you mean it’s without context or comparison?

Im not being funny. I’m just stupid.

You were responding to a comment about quadriplegics which painted context to your response. If that’s not what you meant, then gine. Im sorry i misunderstood your response. You could have been more clear that you were generalising and not directly responding to the claim being made.

To your point. No not everyone has a life and people that love them but i would argue that a blanket statement that started this thread, that if you were a quadriplegic then you would volunteer to have experimental surgery with unknown side effects and effectiveness because you have nothing else going for you is not inherently true.

You dont need to be quadriplegic to want to volunteer. You dont have to not have anything else going for you, and you dont need to have a life or people that love you.

If all you are saying is not everyone has a life or people that live them, then i fail to see how its relevant to the point made in this thread.

Is that exclusive para/quadriplegics in your mind? Only that you are countering a statement that essentially says that losing one or more limbs doesnt make people stop loving you, by saying not everyone has people that love them. Which would be a good point if people not loving you was exclusive to people who have lost a limb or limbs…

The crease doesn’t matter. Had a fold 3 for almost 3 years, and the crease has never bothered me. You dont see it when using the devices. you do from other angles, but even then, it’s dependant on external light. I have never found a situation where the crease being there has ever been a problem. And I challenge you to give me a good example.

This is the one thing people say that I feel is mostly rooted in a form of propaganda, or like a rumour if that makes sense. You have been told about the crease and it was made to sound bad you personally believe the crease would be bad and it all joins up to form a strange, baseless bias that the crease is bad. You have admitted yourself that you dont own one, so I can safely assume you haven’t held one for long enough to realise that the crease wouldn’t bother you if you had one of these phones.

Also, like I said, I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and it’s still going strong. I replaced the screen protector once because I accidentally scratched it but I did that myself with a £15 kit I got on amazon. So the lifespan is fine. Your bias is unfounded. You should use one as a daily driver for a bit and than review your opinion.

Edit. Inb4 “you’re butthurt”. Idc. I dont think I am, because I’m just arguing the side of someone who has one, but I dont mind if you wanna think im just angry cause you insulted my choice to buy one. I know from personal experience the only real downside to this phone is the narrow outer screen and that only really bothers me when I’m watching video, but then why would I use the outer screen for that? For general use that screen is fine.

I guess im gonna have bee movie playing on a loop as my desktop background.

Uk copper network is due to shutdown by (was 2025 but I was recently informed its been pushed back to 2027) so I expect it will all be VoIP soon enough.

And music production, that takes a tonne of space.

What use do we have today for a music focused media player? Is it common for people to use mp3, flac or wav for playing music? I feel like music streaming services hold the market here.

I like winamp back when it was an alternative for the basic windows media player to listen to all my music but I dont keep mp3s anymore so I don’t know if I can see the point.

Was it anything more than just a music player with eq and skins? Did I miss the point back then?

Maybe I just don’t have the vision that others have and will be pleasantly suprised when someone comes up with a good use case and develops it.

I thought there were many aspects of the games directly tied to fram rate.

I know that, at least in the case of mario 64, Speed runners abuse game mechanics tied to frame rate to perform tricks such as backwards long jump and other door hacks. Marios eyes blinking are tied to frame rate, they used this to identify faked speed runs in some cases.

I imagine there must be other things aswell.

This post is so meta.

You will take 1/64th of a plain cheese and like it.

A fair point. However, reading the OP back, it seems to me that they aren’t dismissing “forever” as success. They are only stating that its not the only acceptable definition of it.

The way i see it, some things that require never-ending commitment to be deemed a success and others don’t, but that’s not how society sees it in general.

I think messages like the one in the post are a good thing to read and think about how they apply to your own life.

Ha! Barely sentient. I’m definitely gonna start saying that.

Im not sure they were making was a dolly parton reference, and im not sure your joke matches up with any of the lyrics from the song either.

I dont know how to feel.

They aren’t the cost was arbitrarily chosen 30 odd years ago and hasnt changed in all that time despite there being several free alternatives. Data usage doesnt cost what they charge either. Its all a scam.

Its a shame i dont have an ethernet cable that fast or a motherboard with a network interface capable of that speed.

Great if i can get faster fibre into my home but my internal infrastructure is not up to the task. This wont be in the home until we can use fibre cables like we currently use ethernet cables.

Or is there some other tech that would replace ethernet that would handle those speeds. Also whats my wrote speed on my ssd?

Yeah i dont know if thisnis a tech thats meant for home, more likely large businesses with lots of devices all fighting for bandwidth.
