  • I don’t know if this applies to you or not, but if you are like me, and I believe around 10% of the population, stay away from PWM as it will give you big migraines. But that you can only know if you are sensitive to it by encountering one of those screens. If you own a pretty recent mobile phone with OLED or AMOLED, chances are they use PWM and if you are fine with them, you should be ok. But always best to make sure. They never really advertise this so if you can go to a physical store to see the screen or look around the internet before buying that helps.









  • with the right tools they already are

    That’s the point, it is so you don’t have to require any special tools that you have to purchase or rent, or having to deal with glue and all that crap.

    I prefer compact and waterproof design over an easily replaceable battery

    You think because it’s replaceable it can’t be compact and waterproof? Ever used a watch?
    A more current example before you complain that no one uses watches now and only smartwatches is an AirTag from crApple, they are waterproof, compact, and the battery is replaceable without any tools.







  • What’s with wanting to replace all judges/referees in every sports with robots? Computer/Video assistance is fine, replacing them with bots is not.

    For tennis in particular since that’s what the article is about, the way it is now doesn’t interfere with the match, it’s a quick check, the decision is taken and they move on. Unlike football (soccer for you yanks), VAR is so much worse. In my opinion it should have stopped at goal line technology, and maybe offsides on goals, but checking every 5 minutes if something happened or not? That’s just interference at this point. Remember when 5 minutes of added time used to be considered a lot? Now that’s like average. And then you have baseball, they want to add the auto strike zone. And it goes on and on and on in every sport. It never ends, every sport is being polluted by “robots umpires”.

    I guess I’m just too old fashion or a purist or whatever you want to call it, but I want the human aspect when I’m watching/attending sports events, and humans make mistakes. Sure I’ve been angry at some decisions taken over the years, but that’s also part of the beauty of sports. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn’t, it makes the event so much more enticing.


  • I’ve a better option: have absolutely nothing to do with Meta, don’t interact with it, block it in your network, avoid it like the plague. Right now I’m so glad I’m in Europe because that shit cannot launch here, that’s how bad you should tell people Meta is and make then join you.

    There are a lot of Americans I’m sure that would be like “but it’s Europe, why should we care what they do?”, you should care because they at least try to protect people’s privacy, to some extent, it’s far from perfect, but on this case it’s working fine as this shit cannot operate here… for now.

    I haven’t had Facebook since like 2008. My family and friends keep asking me to join it, and I tell them I’ll never do that. If they want to contact me, they know where to find me elsewhere.
