Even in Edge, Outlook (a Microslop web app running on a Microslop browser) sometimes takes up to a minute to load on refresh. HOW!? God I hate that company.

“A free market is self regulating” until someone makes a better product for less money, I guess.

One of the lucky 10,000

The problem is that it makes less sense for them to sell at a loss than for example Xbox or Sony. It’s just a capable PC, corporations could buy hundreds or thousands and they wouldn’t make a cent off of game sales.

Okay, I guess two can play the “trust me bro” game. I have stereo speakers on which this is an issue and a 5.1 compatible soundbar on which it is not. Same file, same player.

I’d love to see the evidence, it depends on your player and how you’re downmixing. There are some that do it better than others but this is definitely a thing.

This cause could be downmixing from something like 5.1 or 7.1 to stereo. Because dialogue is mostly on the center channel while music and SFX are much more spread out in the soundstage, you might have a sound appear on speakers center, front left and back left while dialogue only happens on center.

This would mean that depending on the mix, you might have a sound that’s 2-3 times louder than the dialogue when mixed to stereo since all those sounds have to get played on fewer speakers.

This is why a 5.1 compatible soundbar will be more balanced than stereo speakers, even if it doesn’t have full surround sound. They have a physical speaker for each of the channels so at least the mix sounds better.

Not saying this is always the issue but its certainly one of the possible causes.

You joke but the answer is actually a OnePlus 8 Pro.

As a European… Are feet logarithmic? Wouldn’t even surprise me that much.

If you patched it yourself, surely you must have noticed downloading the official YouTube client to modify, haha

I’ve made several efforts to try out Deezer, tidal and Qobuz. Their library just comes up short within 2-3 searches for some of the more niche stuff I want to listen to. Depending on what you listen to they can be great, I’m sure, I’d much prefer using Qobuz but for completeness… I assume the only ones that come close are Amazon and Apple and at that point, why even switch?

This comment section, except it’s a multi-trillion dollar one.

Trump fucks children and draws like them too

Yeah, sorry, I do. Just never moved on from calling it Vanced haha

actively strives to make the user experience worse for people who don’t pay

And evidently those who do! My parents live in a different country. What are they, not my family? What’s the family plan for? (Rhetorical question)

With Vanced I have so many more options to customize my experience. I can hide shorts I never watch, set a fixed resolution for data and wifi, return the stupid dislike ratio they removed… And if I’m using Vanced anyway to fix all the issues they introduce, why on earth would I additionally pay for their service?

I want to pay for their shit, especially to support content creators, but I can’t support a platform whose singular mission it is to make everything worse for everyone constantly. Feels like every month I have to get a new extension to undo some horrible design decision.

I’m pretty sure the modern usage comes mostly from skibidi toilet.

You know they’re fake because real YouTube commentors only have two modes:

“Who’s watching in 2025” and “No one: Not a single soul:”

Are people not travelling?

Genuine question regarding the rhyme thing, it can be argued that “predicting backwards isn’t very different” but you can’t attribute generating the rhyme first to noise, right? So how does it “know” (for lack of a better word) to generate the rhyme first?

I think what’s wild about it is that it really is surprisingly similar to how we actually think. It’s very different from how a computer (calculator) would calculate it.

So it’s not a strange method for humans but that’s what makes it so fascinating, no?
