Echo Dot

It might be possible to get into output wirelessly, it has a dedicated radio for video output so presumably if you just stuck an adaptor into your TV you could just cast to it. Could be quite a nice setup if you wanted it to be able to connect to both your computer in the study and your TV in the living room.

Oh yeah, and and they would mostly be terrible, except one brand no one has ever heard of but, it’s apparently a big name in China, and called something like Zloks would inexplicably be the king of that particular niche product.

I hate the Wi-Fi remote thing. My TV has a Wi-Fi remote and it runs off of AA battery and they last about 4 days and then run out. If I hadn’t replaced them with rechargeable ones they would have probably had to open a new landfill site just for my old batteries.

As much as I agree I think it would have been a bad move for them to do that. The device is success is already highly dependant on its price, which is still in flux as far as I understand, there is no reason for them to make the decision even more difficult.

It’s got DP as well though so it’s not all that bad. We really should be pushing manufacturers over to DP anyway.

It’s literally the same feature set.

You seem to be under the deluded impression that a war between two people only affects those two people, so yeah I’m insulting your intelligence. Do you even know what a war is, I know that’s a stupid question but I’m seriously asking because it sounds like you don’t?

Well I used to go to Vegas quite often for conferences and now that’s stopped because apparently no one else wants to go either. I think they are having it in Leeds this year, which is quite the downgrade let me tell you.

Better food though.

Animals would be preferable. I reckon a chipmunk would be able to understand the instructions, it’s only humans that fuck it up that bad.

Because who else would raise a support ticket because the first name field doesn’t allow emoji? Or ask for a Braille language option, it’s still English Karen, it’s basically just a font, and there’s no point anyway without a braille output, just putting the dots on the screen isn’t helpful. That one got closed as it “won’t fix” since there’s no one in the organisation who’s blind and it’s mostly a hardware problem anyway.

Because otherwise someone might take fucking offence.

Actually I think the real reason it is people just do it automatically now, without thinking. This isn’t Reddit, no one cares (except lemmy.world, obviously).

What’s your point? =/= Isn’t the “not equals to” term, it’s !=

Just as ≥ isn’t available, so you have >= and ≈ is not on the keyboard, so we have ==

Formal logical operators require the you to press the alt key and enter a numerical sequence on the keypad. If I had to type the logical operators with alt codes it would slow me down.

No it’s because you can’t type the not equal symbol very easily. If you type it it won’t work because most compilers aren’t expecting it.

But you know your fact is nicer than the boring reality

To be honest you don’t need to either of them. You can just upload images to your own instance unless some instances have disabled image uploading?

That second paragraph might as well be written in Cyrillic for all the sense it made. Do I want to know what gone mild goblin girls look like, I feel like I don’t, but I’m also morbidly curious.

Ah yes you are displaying the kind of intelligence the US military favours in its recruits. Non at all.

What if you’re not a 15-year-old girl and therefore don’t have TikTok and Instagram are they going to arrest you? What a truly stupid country.

So does the US just want to totally kill its tourist industry because that seems to be the objective.

I’m not really up on the latest research into nuclear powered continental drift but I’m fairly certain that Australia is on course to collide with Indonesia in about 100 million years. So they’re going the wrong direction.

You’ll need to turn left and go around Africa, if you see Brazil you’ve gone too far.

I don’t know about you but I don’t think I’ve ever worn anything with an US flag on it. Or one that says “I ❤️ NY”

Everyone in any position of authority in Russia is on the take. This means that the capabilities of the Russian military is purely theoretical, on paper Russia is a formidable force, on paper.

They sent troops in without equipment, without ammunition, and without supplies. Not because they didn’t think they would need ammunition and food but because someone nicked them all back in 08 and everyone in the military is too scared of Putin to tell him this. Probably because they were the ones that took some of it.

Meanwhile, I’m eagerly waiting for the local Tankie to, once again, explain how so much death is justified by the dire threat Ukraine

Great, now they’ve turned up.
