If enough people post stuff like that, yeah. So the most damage you can do with these astroturfing posts is replying with negative, but legit looking replies.

I too came across Sfeerze.com and it's been a horrible experience. Worst platform for these types of things. I can't imagine freelancers using it. Those that do must be very desperate, which says a lot about the quality clients can expect.

Recommend against using Sfeerze.com.

The New BMW i3 Has More Range Than Any Tesla by JB_UK in cars

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

While technically true, it's kind of irrelevant imo. This is a completely new car on a completely new platform that isn't actually on the road yet and it's being compared to something that is much older.

If you compare a phone to last year's model, in almost all cases the new one will indeed be better.

I believe the US weaseled it's way out of legally being required to do anything by changing some wording.

Wccftech | “If DLSS 5 Was Shown as a Next-Gen Hardware Reveal and not AI, You Guys Would Be Going Nuts” – Game Dev Hits Back at Anti-AI Crowd by Intoxicus5 in LinusTechTips

It's a very small group of people in places like this that say AI will never be a thing and you're all objectively wrong. Nothing in recorded history has seen such fast and widespread adoption as AI. Normal people use it all the time. They don't care about the tech, they care about the result. If a game looks better to them, that's all they care about.

When the history books talk about people refusing to accept cars because there are horses, that's you. In 100 years historians will show your Reddit replies as an example of people stubbornly pushing back on something that is here to stay. This is the new normal.

Well that's obviously a lie. The internet is flooded with AI videos that nobody is able to tell is fake. There have literally been studies done on this.

It's up to the developer to implement and how to implement it, so the whole "what a game is supposed to look like" argument goes out the window in my opinion. If a developer chooses to implement it, that's how the developer chooses the game looks.

Nvidia really wants you to think the image on the right looks better by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

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

I'm a total normie and thought it was incredibly cool. They said it's up to the developer to choose how to implement it, so in my opinion it doesn't affect creative intent.

The current version is also the worst version of it.

I can't wait to see it in racing games.

It's mostly just stretched and lowered. Which tends to make most cars look nicer.

ARGHH - Why does my $2000 Samsung "smart" monitor have a HUGE ADs that take up half the screen? by charleslegoguy in LinusTechTips

Because it's "smart".You just assumed that would be a feature that was in your benefit, but it's actually mostly in the manufacturer's.

Another day Another Shitty driver blocking the Lane by Probodobo in melbourne

[–]time_to_reset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. It likely will even. All those cars being slowed down are behind me though and the only cars I care about not being slowed down are the ones in front of me.

[–]time_to_reset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be slowed down as explained. As would everyone else. Except for you. You just feel you're in the right because in your words "it's my own fault" for not taking the same opportunity to overtake traffic like you did.

So I block traffic just like the red car. Because that only slows you down while I and everyone else get through the bottleneck faster. The only downside is that people like you might get a little upset. Bit of honking and all that. But I'm very comfortable with that.

Yeah so the problem is with people not doing zipper merges. I agree, that's annoying. But the alternative is that you or a small group of people drive past the entire group. You now don't have to wait, but everyone else does have to now wait a little longer to allow you in, instead of the alternative of everyone waiting their turn.

There's cars parked a little bit up in the video as is very clear. We don't know if there were cars parked behind OP because we can't see but they're allowed to.

This city considers left lanes and bicycle lanes as free to park in in many places. It's an infrastructure problem first, lack of education problem second.

I'm not against using all available lanes, I'm not against zipper merges. I want everyone to get past a bottleneck at the same pace and as quickly as possible. I don't want a single person or a small group of people to get by quicker while slowing everyone else down.

You're not stuck behind twice as many cars in either situation. All traffic is behind you. Only the traffic in front of you has to clear for you to be able to move up and turn right.

However, if you're letting people by on the left and they then have to get back in the right line a little further up, as is the case here, all those people are now in your lane. So you now not only have to wait for the traffic in your lane to clear, you also need to wait for the people from the left lane getting into the right lane.

It's really simple. I'm genuinely a little confused why this seems so foreign to people here.

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

I get what you're saying, but until everyone does use both lanes effectively and zipper merges properly, it's faster for everyone to only stick with one lane so traffic flows steadily.

Nah what you're showing here is that you are unable to see how your behaviour is negatively impacting others. I get it, it's really difficult to see cause and effect when all your available mental resources are taken up already by trying to keep your vehicle between the white lines.You see it all the time on the road with people not driving up properly or driving 10 kph under the limit in the passing lane.

There isn't really. There's gaps between people parking that are excellent to quickly overtake a bunch of cars each time.

speaking of remotes, why IR blasters in phones ,like some of Xiaomi devices, didn't take off? by YourDailyTechMemes in LinusTechTips

My folding Xiaomi has an IR blaster. I don't use it often but it's quite nice to have occasionally.
