I’ve really upset the gamer bros here…

It’s mostly marketing. Films are perfect at 24fps and gamer bros think they can see framerates ten times that.

I’ve never seen any difference with the top two with that test. My monitor is 144hz and TBH I might as well have saved my money and got 60Hz ones.

We’re not all hardcore gamers trained to see miniscule differences.

Happens with americans too… they seem to completely miss sarcasm sometimes. Humour is very cultural (and often plays into things a native of the country would know but someone outside sometimes wouldn’t).

There’s a lag between human activity and climate change. Rolling out nuclear might have helped a bit, but whether we’d have seen the results today I’m not sure… the benefits would be in the future.

I doubt cars could have evolved any faster though (well they could, but capitalism, so realistically things went as fast as they could)… so it might not have had much impact at all.

androidpolice have had lots of articles about ad blocking and picking the best one etc.

Then they won’t let anyone view the site when they follow that advice…

Our legal system basically relies on the fact that criminals are that stupid.

No it hasn’t, not even slightly.

That one is a lost battle, alas. We’ll have to hack our browsers to make them secure, or download them via VPNs from the US.

TIL… I thought it was some low budget channel they’d bought the catalogue of

Ad floods happen semi regularly… they get banned fairly quickly though.

Ads pay miniscule amounts per view… I’ve heard it said the £12/month sub is about hundreds of times what they get from ad revenue per user. So they spam them everywhere… the more ads the better.

Which means people block the ads because they’re obnoxious, and they make nothing…

I presume apple users do occasionally…

I guess this is a way for google to force apple to open the protocol since they can’t just open it in the EU, so it affects the US too. But the EU don’t have to listen to google… if imessage is such a minor player they may just leave it alone.

I’m surprised stackoverflow haven’t sued some of them… they literally steal the content and stick their own name on it.

He can join the queue then…

Lots of new sites starting up. Most don’t last a year.

It refuses to install on the non-beta version… had to upgrade to allow it.

They’re more a BYD rival, being chinese.

Yeah I went to firefox beta for ublock origin… but it seems most things work.

The daily express isn’t exactly known for it’s accurate insightful reporting. The headline is mostly about scaring people, mostly elderly (their main readership) that their computer is about to stop working.

There are some well known ones, like L4sbot, that copy everything but they’re upfront about it with bot in their name.

There are a few others more sneaky.
