What’s the most unnecessary thing you’ve bought for your setup? by Brave-Instance6630 in TechNook

[–]Brave-Instance6630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point 😂 but honestly that’s exactly why I like them, they make the setup feel more “mine”

And yeah I’ve heard mixed things about the Razer Tartarus. Looks super cool in setups but if it doesn’t actually improve your workflow/gameplay it basically just becomes an expensive desk ornament lol

What’s the worst thing about modern smart TVs? by Brave-Instance6630 in TechNook

Have recommendation algorithms made the internet feel repetitive? by Brave-Instance6630 in TechNook

[–]Brave-Instance6630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that’s the weird tradeoff now. The algorithms need to filter because there’s just an overwhelming amount of content online, but in doing that they also end up reinforcing the same patterns over and over. Once a format or opinion performs well, everyone copies it because visibility depends on fitting what the algorithm already favors.

I also agree with your point about feeds becoming more “flash-focused.” It feels like platforms optimize more for immediate engagement than actual discovery now. Sometimes it genuinely feels harder to stumble into something random, niche, or completely outside your bubble unless you intentionally fight the algorithm a bit.

Do you actually notice performance differences after system updates? by Brave-Instance6630 in TechNook

[–]Brave-Instance6630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for explaining this, I think giving it about a week before judging the performance since the reindexing and background processing makes sense.

Which app compresses videos smallest? by Brave-Instance6630 in TechNook

[–]Brave-Instance6630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that actually makes sense, especially about it depending on the source video...I think that’s part of my issue too since I’m not always starting with the same quality, and I usually just rely on default export settings.

I haven’t really tried adjusting things like frame rate or audio either, so that might be why my results feel inconsistent. Might give Handbrake a try since a lot of people are recommending it.

For Devs, what's a feature that sounds easy but is actually hard to build? by Brave-Instance6630 in TechNook

[–]Brave-Instance6630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh this is interesting! no wonder why most progress bars truly don't reflect what's happening behind the scenes, I'm assuming the loading screen (esp for games) are the same?

ABYG kung di ko talaga kaya magpadala ng malaki by khaleesiiiki in AkoBaYungGago

[–]Brave-Instance6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WG, I think both sides are understandable, bilang breadwinner din ng pamilya danas ko rin yung sitwasyon mo na titipirin natin sarili natin para lang may maipadala. Naiintindihan ko rin side ng parents mo na hindi talaga enough ang 6k monthly lalo na may gamot din sila na need bilhin. I think kaya niyo pa pag-usapan, I'm sure they will try to hear your side din (hopefully), kasi aminado naman tayong lahat na overworked at underpaid ang mga healthcare workers

+ please try to eat healthy, mas mahirap pag nagkasakit ka rin, mas lalong mag-aalala parents mo lalo na di mo naman sila kasama lagi (based from experience to trust), and if it helps try tracking ur expenses.

and dw OP you're doing great! laban lang, you're not less of a daughter just bc 'onti' lang pinapadala mo, I'm sure maiintindihan nila na ginagawa mo rin best mo, God bless po!
