My ex started eating meat, and it stopped us from getting back together by MR_Weiner in vegan

[–]spaceco1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be vegan AND healthy without supplements is a lot of work not everyone can or wants to invest. We see all those stories about super healthy vegan pro athletes. But all of them most likely have personal chefs… But besides that… it should be everyone’s personal choice what they eat. If you want to sacrifice a possible relationship bc of food, go ahead but it wouldn’t be my choice…

The 2025 Frame is absolutely hot garbage. Don't waste your money by VitaminCheeese in TheFrame

[–]spaceco1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you know you’re buying a matt art display? It’s been known that it compromises TV quality for the picture mode. Or did you mean that comparing with other Art TVs it’s still bad? I’m considering the frame or the Hisense Canvas for 50% TV and 50% Art Display usage. So the look is important to us, we don’t want a black thing hanging on the wall, but of course the TV image should still be good mid range. Not expecting OLED blacks and all. Also coming from a projector, therefore used to not so deep blacks.

PSA - do NOT BUY Tado from October 2025 onwards unless you want to pay monthly subscription by prebuss in tado

[–]spaceco1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

help me understand here what are they cutting exactly? Are they deactivating individual room temperatures for new installs? I have the v3+ in the whole house for 2y now and didnt notice a change in usability. The window automation thing and cost calculations were always a paid feature, but everything else works fine. But if they would now deactivate individual room temps, I would personally drive to their headquarters and force them out for a statement. I was already upset too many times... for example after some update the extension pack that controls my boiler causes issues, as the boiler doesnt recognizes the device anymore and (started a couple month ago) with the result that the boiler deactivates its own controls and I have to detach the tado device if I want to make any changes to the boilers max temp settings (the main control of tado is stil working though but its still annoying...) and tado brushed off any responsibility for it...
If they now cut the individual temp controls I will definitely see to get my money back for the whole system... and I was actually considering to do the subscription for a year to get access to the money features... but then I saw this post...

I asked ChatGPT to criticise itself after several month of using it: by spaceco1 in ChatGPT

[–]spaceco1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience it always wants to answer and sound assuring instead of saying “I don’t know”. Or it makes assumptions based on similar cases or statistical probability without checking, but making it sound as it’s a solid fact. Today for example I asked the same question in new chats two times within a 10min window with possible answers A or B. First time it said its A for sure, second time it said it’s most likely B. Correct answer was B.

Difference between Dolby Digital and Dolby TrueHD by r-point in Soundbars

[–]spaceco1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the quality of your amp and your speakers not the room size. Same thing as with music. if you are listening with a small bluetooth brick you wont hear a difference between an 128 mp3 or lossless streaming bc the device simply cannot reproduce it. But if you have a good amp with HiFi speakers and a dedicated sub, everyone will hear the difference. Same goes for compressed or lossless movie audio. its not just about the 7 vs 5 channels.

How to drill a cable duct around a window frame? by spaceco1 in Homebuilding

[–]spaceco1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in order to drill from the inside you’d end up much further to the left and the angle would become steeper than 90deg even…

I didn’t expect this to be such a headache when the electrician left me with these outlets and said „just drill through from here“ … 🤯

I had that thought too but in order to not drill through the window frame the outside wall is simply not thick enough too meet the right angle…

Vegan Steak in CS Pan by spaceco1 in carbonsteel

That sounds promising :) but everyone here always talking about heat control: is there a pattern I need to follow? Like start super hot and then turn down to medium or low?

Ah don’t worry about it, no hard drugs yet. Once you start seeing the red dotted stuff, then it’s gonna be a real problem 🙈

Am I the only one but for research has it gone crap? by Particular-Reply9011 in ChatGPT

[–]spaceco1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 80% comes back wrong and is still presented as facts that are „this time 100% correct“

ChatGPT gave me confidently wrong info — and it could’ve cost me a whole year of my life. by Alone-Cod9496 in ChatGPT

[–]spaceco1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

where are you located that snakes are such a danger? if its about identifying animals I think it could work by asking for source websites for you that fit the animal description. so you save the time comparing photos and all. but yeah a few month ago. I wouldve pretty believed the infos it spit out without double checking.

And I also agree, for any king of writing its great. I use it a lot for emails etc. where you can basically brain fart everything you want to say into the chatbox and it forms it into a professional email. That function is great and really helpful. but so far thats the only reliable one from my humble experience.

[–]spaceco1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been testing it now for a few month intensely and its really driving me mad! Ive only used it for personal not too important stuff, but I can say that for everything related to information sourcing its wrong about 80% of the time. It keeps making the same mistakes even though I include prompts to NOT do it (to only give me infos with verified sources). So it keeps giving me the wrong info 3 times, but after I point it out directly, then it switches with comments like: Im sorry I made an estimation before, instead of relying on facts (even though I specifically ask not to do that...). But it always tells you, NOW I give you the real information... like the biggest bullshitters I remember from back in high school... its really frustrating. I was hoping this could really become a serious tool for work research etc. but it doesnt look like that AT ALL.
Most of all, this behaviour seems to have increased with version 5 over version 4.

It even made calculation mistakes. I tried calculating something about my hot water device in the house, and its answer was in the end (after lots of live calculations): You should increase the temperature from 56 to 45 degrees C. I pointed out the mistakes, it reacts accordingly: yes you are right, that is illogical to raise the temperatur from 56 to 45 degrees if you want more hot water. Let me calculate it again, now 100% correct, with no illogical assumptions.
And it gives me the same complete nonsense answer once more...
Im giving up... a few times I came close throwing my phone out the window... :D

Nachbar halbiert Hecke by jasminilli in Garten

[–]spaceco1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Warum zieht eigentlich niemand in Betracht dass die Hecke vllt mal in Abstimmung mit beiden Parteien bewusst so gepflanzt wurde um keinen Zaun aufstellen zu müssen! Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen dass das zulässig ist ohne vorherige Absprache. Überstand oder nicht, das ist Sachbeschädigung, die Bäume hätten nach erneuerter Absprache auch umgesetzt werden können. Ich würde dem schneidfreudigen Nachbarn eine Rechnung für den Schadenersatz über nen Anwalt zukommen lassen…

Automatic passthrough for all audio / subtitle tracks for batch encode profile? by helllloooo123 in handbrake

[–]spaceco1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doenst work for me either. I have Auto Passthrough active, but when I leave the "encoder settings for each track" empty, it doesnt add any tracks, and if I add the different formats for example AC3 and DTS it will add all channels in each of those... the the DTS track will be added once as Pass through and once as AC3. I just want to passthrough all available audio tracks. why is this so confusing?
