California amber alert that went to a twitter link
  • Every time I've gotten an Amber Alert on my phone, the phone screams the description of the kid & the suspected car & possibly the suspect themselves on top of showing the entire message on the screen. No idea why anywhere would put all of that info onto Twitter only when this system already exists & really grabs your attention.

  • LG discontinues all UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray players
  • Biggest upside of Plex for me is the fact that you can set up secure streaming from anywhere with basically a single click. With Jellyfin, that is much more manual. Besides that, I think some people may like that Plex has its own set of TV Shows & movies to stream, though I'm certain that those are ad supported. (Haven't used that feature & have moved to Jellyfin)

  • Do Not Buy NZXT | Predatory, Evil Rental Computer Scam Investigated
  • This happens with every corporation after a while. Make a good product -> Get liked / recommended by the community -> Get big -> Get Greedy -> Make products shitty to maximize profit Also often add a 'Get big' can also be 'Get bought', product quality typically drops off of even more of a cliff if that happens. Another big indicator of a company that's about to go to shit would be if they get onto the Stock Market, as once you're in there, making sure that next quarterly profits are higher than the previous one becomes top priority above all else. Anything that takes profits without giving them more money will be dropped.

  • Valve Keeps Making Quest a Better PC VR Headset with Continued Improvements to Steam Link
  • True, if you're on Windows (Or Mac)

    The person you're replying to is replying to a person who is wanting to do VR on Linux, to which the only solution is currently ALVR.
    It would be very nice if Steam Link or Virtual Desktop would add Linux support for streaming VR from Linux, but currently neither works.

    At least Linux people can stream their Flat games using SteamLink now, just not VR games yet.

  • Every desktop OS and its users
  • Brown hair character (Sinji) goes with Purple.

    Redhead character (Asuka) goes with Red.

    Blue hair character (Rei) goes with Blue. [I think that her description should be centered on her more as it looks like it's for the white haired character imo...]

    I straight up forgot that the white haired character (Kaworu) existed (Had to look his name up)

    At least that's if the person making the meme has watched Neon Genesis Evangelion.

    I probably should re-watch the show again, it's been a very long time...

  • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising
  • I'd say that the 'modern' era of Microsoft Enshittification started with IE4 as well as Windows 98. The Channel bar put ads on the Windows 95 & 98 desktops. It was easily disabled, but even that far back, Microsoft was starting to work on making their stuff suck just that much more.

    Next was Windows ME blocking DOS access, while still running on DOS, making the OS a bit ... unstable, followed by your point of Software Activation in XP.

  • Windows 10 is EOL in October 2025
  • Fun fact, there were still computers being manufactured with CPUs that don't support Windows 11 in 2020, got one of those at work that we will need to replace before then. Thankfully only one, so it's not too big of a deal.

  • Is there a way to disable the "Restart to Keep Using Firefox" page?
  • When this happens, Firefox has been updated in the background & the non-updated parts that're loaded into memory attempted to load one of the updated parts & found that they were no longer compatible, causing this message to appear.

    At this point you HAVE to restart Firefox in order to be able to use it, no way around it. Soooo very fun on Mac & Linux since both can update in the background. It's also possible to have this happen on Windows, but it's far more rare as it seems to require having multiple different instances running at once.
