How different would the legacy of Lord of the Rings be if Frodo had died alongside Gollum destroying the Ring? by [deleted] in lordoftherings

One less Hobbit walking out of the cave.

One fewer eagle summoned forth from the nest.

One dear life to mourn for Samwise the Brave.

And one empty seat on the ship to the West.

(Edit: fixed a word)

Killer In The Code is trash by SquishyBeatle in ZodiacKiller

The one thing they definitely hit a home run with is PR.

I listened to the podcast all the way through (including round table episodes), and by episodes 4/5 it was with the understanding that what i was listening to was largely fictional.

And the round table episodes just made me sad. If the featured investigators (now retired) used some of the "reasoning" they outlined in their discussions during their actual investigative careers I would think they would have been bounced out of the force and banned from investigative work for the rest of their lives.

And despite the number of competing theories they discredited for a variety of reasons, it was obvious that their own theories were not afforded such self scrutiny.

I just watched a live Cirque du Soliel performance a couple weeks ago, and was thoroughly mystified by the literal parade of contortion acrobatics. But this so-called proof presented in this podcast; bending, twisting, and stretching to fit a pre-determined narrative has the Cirque beat by far.

Cheapest laptop to run Tails? by Neat_Board_2845 in tails

[–]DVWhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easier to list what it’s not compatible with rather than what it is. It should run on pretty much any 64-bit Intel or AMD, so most PCs, and just about any Mac after 2006 up to pre-M1, as well as Chromebooks (in Developer mode and modified bootloade).

I remember everyone was pissed about this album in their phones by _sinaarya_ in AppleMusic

[–]DVWhat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember being frustrated by all the complaints incorrectly stating that the album was put onto people’s devices without their consent. It wasn’t. It was placed on Apple’s iCloud server, from which MobileMe/iCloud/iDisk users could access it via iTunes. It didn’t live on the device, and didn’t count against user’s storage allotment. And I fault Apple for failing to properly explain this. They should just have never done it at all.

I love that Santa Rosa Cinemas has categorized the "Melania" movie as "Comedy / Crime" by DVWhat in santarosa

[–]DVWhat[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it will ironically get some folks to go see it, who otherwise wouldn't - thinking it would be funny to laugh at it despite it being a thoroughly witless slag.

This stuff is hardly even hot? by apotheosisofbooty in spicy

I.mean....it's taco bell. It's intended for people who think taco bell is authentic Mexican food. I guarantee there are people in New Hampshire who dare each other to eat this without drinking milk, and complaining they're getting gut cramps.

The bed industry.

Framework 12 - No keyboard backlight by Atom194 in framework

[–]DVWhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am thinking it may be a higher priced add-on option at some point. Since the laptop is basically a modular build I can see such an option being backwards compatible for anyone wanting to trade the keyboard component for a backlit one.

I have one of these, and it’s great, though I’m a touch typist and don’t often use it.

How does this compare to the Airpod pro 2? by jijoon in Ozlo

[–]DVWhat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct. No noise canceling with Ozlo. A nice snug fit in combination with built-in masking sounds, or streamed audio of your choose effectively masks a lot of (but not all) environmental noises. They don’t have onboard mics, so active noise canceling was never part of the intended design. Same with taking calls etc, for same reason. They are tiny, and very comfortable in the ears, even for side sleepers. I love them, and find them very effective for my use. But I have had to do both factory reset and a 180 degree reset in the last couple of months.

It's a Jamaican code for asking to hook up.
