Ublock origin – best ad blocker
Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.
Been using my Samsung a70 for almost 3 years and I knew re touch sensitivity only lately. I don't want scratches on my screen so I've always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I'm on my 3rd tempered glass. Since I made the screen more sensitive, I haven't felt that it's more sensitive but my on-screen fingerprint reader seems more accurate.
I've noticed that more and more apps are requesting my location. 😑
Yes, it doesn't mean much if the fine is 0.0001% of Android's $.
I read that pairdrop.net was 👍 too.
Wanna share some of my thoughts re this. I don't wanna write a very long essay, so here are just 5 items –
-
I agree that 1 swipe down should let us alter the brightness.
-
I'm OK with no sun icon in the brightness slider. I'll know that it's brightness even without any icon. But some may have a hard time, so adding an icon will be more user-friendly for them.

Re the phone and messages apps, I wonder whether Nothing wanted the users to use the Google apps for these or Nothing is making their own now and will release those in the future. Is it so hard to make a phone app and a messages app?
-
I agree that Google photos is not for everyone.
Some don't wanna have a Google account.
Google photos is cloud-storage-focused, not local-storage-focused. Some want a local-storage-focused gallery app.
Its search doesn't work offline. Some need a gallery app that works offline.
Sponsorblock's been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.
Why is Firefox getting involved in ads? 💵? To reduce their dependence on Google's payment for keeping Google as the default search engine?
I wanted to know which Bluetooth earphones have the best mic. I found a Youtube vid. The Youtuber said the Nothing ear 2 have the best mic. Then I viewed Mike O'Brien's Nothing ear 2 review. 👍 mic, per his review.
The Nothing ear 2 are about ₱ 8200 on Shopee and Lazada and about ₱ 5900 on amazon.co.jp. :o
I hope Nothing will offer that 5900 deal here.
Real estate investment scam. I wonder if Coffeezilla is working on it.
That Bill Burr clip was 👍. Dogpack has 👍 taste.
Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.
I have Windows so I'm OK with Ntfs.
About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32's 4-GB cap. 1080p movies that were 4+ GB were getting more widespread then. I'm using Ntfs till now.
I'm awaiting the day a firm makes a practical quantum computer. I'll be stoked on that day. Idk how folks will write programs for it or if the idea of "program" will apply to it at all. Will it make things faster? Like compiling code or frames per second in gaming?
👍 article. Firebricks may accelerate our transition to sustainable energy.
Was the tablet's touchscreen as responsive as iPad's? What was the operating system? If Windows, I can see how it failed. Previous versions of Windows were mouse-and-keyboard-first. I think Windows 8 was the 1st to truly consider touch and iPados was still better.
Microsoft had an Arm Surface device a few years ago. It had a 💩 chip.
I viewed "let's play" series of Alan Wake 1 and 2. Just wanna share my thoughts re AW2. There are spoilers below.
So much reading. Yes, you can skip a lot of those. Yes, the title is Alan Wake 2 and Wake is a writer. But a gamer who very much dislikes reading may be turned off or think "I may be missing much by skipping most of the reading, so I'll drop this game."
It seems Alice is alive. So she's been living sans Alan for 13 years minimum. Extremely :(. I wanted a :) end for them. I can imagine an AW2 where the year is 2013 instead of 2023, and Alan was able to escape the "dark place" in 2013 and live with Alice happily. The writer (I dislike Sam Lake's writing so I'm not saying Sam Lake) can figure out the plot gymnastics in between to make the game so interesting.
Scratch slew Jaakko Koskela so easyyy. So powerful. He could just slay Anderson, Casey, Cult of the tree and the Fbc at the start.
The Fbc's light arrays placed far from each other outside the sheriff's station were plot convenience.
Anderson aided Wake with writing the end despite Wake inserting Logan and David in the tale. Meh.
Sarah and Barry were sidelined. :(
Sam Lake most likely disliked a fairy-tale :) end for AW2 but don't say that in horror, the hero must pay a price to save his pals (or something like that) like it's a rule.
It's time.com's best 2023 game but it's 👎 for me.
If he did conduct illegal lotteries, what a 💩 way to treat your viewers, many of whom were kids, seemingly. He said something like "The 10th buyer in the next 5 min will win 30000." right? Did those winners get their prizes? If no, it was a scam.
The 💤 deprivation was inhuman. The running thing was cruel.
He's an ex-worker at Jimmy's firm. If everything he said is false, it's an easy defamation lawsuit for Jimmy versus him. He dug his own grave. I think he wasn't dumb to do that. The points he made made sense to me, except the legal stuff. I'm not an attorney. Anyway, we haven't heard Jimmy's side.
I think Dogpack is brave. Jimmy and his attorneys can cook up a worthless lawsuit to hurt Dogpack financially. Jimmy is so rich legal expenses won't be problematic. While Dogpack may have a hard time with legal expenses, I think.
It's like Logan Paul versus Coffeezilla. Logan is so rich; Coffeezilla isn't.
I can see how some may see the farming as grinding. Different folks have different preferences in gaming.
It's not grinding for me. I have the beach farm so I can't put so many sprinklers. I need to water some of my crops manually. It's OK.
I don't plant so many crops so I have time to explore at the end of my day.
I lack iridium ores to upgrade my tools to iridium level but it's OK. I hope I'll get many iridium ores in the future.
I don't feel any passive-aggression from my fellow villagers.
Buy hay if you run out of it in winter?
Are you enjoying? If no, I suggest altering your playstyle or making a new save for a cozy playstyle. :)

When they talked re Teams and Discord, I thought of a meme. Windows will just be Edge in 100 years. All the apps will be web apps. Someone may have made that meme already.
Thankfully Windows didn't force Onedrive on me. I've preferred saving files locally. For my cloud files, I've mainly used Dropbox and Google drive.
I hope Windows will focus on user experience.
The last time my scarecrow was wrecked, I saw multiplying stones and wood. My mindset now is to remove stones, wood and weeds and I won't have any concern.
I googled how to prevent spawning weeds, wood or stones from wrecking scarecrows. I read re paths. But weeds can wreck any floor or path.
I thought of surrounding a scarecrow with hardwood fence. I asked a large language model (llm) if that works. The llm said yes. True?
A scarecrow doesn't need so many resources but I don't wanna remake a scarecrow each time a weed, wood or a stone wrecks it.

Some Intel 13th and 14th gen desktop processors have been failing. It's big news.
Per Intel, the root causes for the 13th gen are excessive voltage and oxidation issue. The root cause for the 14th gen is excessive voltage. They'll release a patch to fix the voltage issue. The oxidation is a manufacturing issue so it's a big deal. Can't be fixed with any software update. Intel's statement lacked details. They didn't say which specific processors are problematic and the specific batches of processors with the oxidation issue. Their statement re the oxidation had a contradiction. This is just Intel's statement and this whole thing may be bigger than what it seems.
I'm wondering if there are many Filipinos experiencing failures. I guess 💻 is more famous than desktop in 🇵🇭, but there are Filipino desktop enthusiasts. Anyone here who had a failure?

Asus is a big firm. If they mistakenly made the Ally too cheap, they could eat the cost of customer help. It's just right to provide 👍 warranty service. And the Ally is their 1st handheld. They wanted to build a 👍 reputation. Also, other Asus items had warranty issues. They must fix their internal process.
Sources tell ESPN that the Lakers dismissed Darvin Ham.
Yes! For me the missed challenge opportunity with Bron was Ham's biggest error in the Nuggets series. The 1 when Bron was so frustrated and the Nuggets got an easy basket.
Replacing Ham is a welcome improvement but it doesn't solve all the Lakers' issues.
They need a consistent scorer aside from AD and Bron. Ideally this scorer will be their top scorer. AD will be the 2nd scorer. Bron will be the 3rd.
They need a better 2nd unit. They'll provide some scoring and defense while AD and Bron are resting. Right now the roster is clearly shallow.
Of course, assuming that Bron will stay.

It's a long vid. I suggest prepping your fav drink before viewing.
It's re Nvidia's new gpu architecture for ai, NVlink switch, RAS diagnostics and other Nvidia announcements.
Nvidia knows it's the star of the backbone of the current ai boom and seems to be going full steam. I'm hoping for more innovations on tools for ai and gaming in the future.
