Use them at no benefit to them. Obviously, don't buy yt premium.

I use Grayjay. Get it from the grayjay website and sideload it instead of through the apk store. Updates come quicker. It gives you commercial free YouTube, pretty much all the premium features, and let's you download vids.

Because the real reason is obviously that the city got called out on and caught in a straight up lie, and they're pissed and seeking revenge.

T mobile already shaping the hell out of my internet. If I download a Netflix episode of a show without my vpn on, it could take like 15 minutes. With my vpn on it takes like 1 minute.

Wow. I had no idea the Danes were such wussies. Too spicy. Lol

*I stand by what I said. The 2x and 3x are not very terrible on the spicy scale. The article claims the 3x is around 13,000 shu. I'm actually guessing that's a typo/mistake and it's supposed to be 130,000 SHU. Jalapeños are usually around 10,000 to 20,000 and the noodles are hotter than that. Serrano peppers float around 90k or so. Habanero peppers are usually 150k or more. Peppers vary wildly based on growing conditions.

Sell it and buy a steam deck. I'm over 40. The deck made me like gaming again. So many fun games and immediately being able to sleep the system while in a game and then waking it back up to be right where I left off is a huge benefit to me.

Ima have to see an 11,000 year old picture and an 11,001 year old picture as proof of this.

The 1950s had a great thing going. Once you hit $100,000 in a year, anything beyond that was taxed at about 90%. Nobody wanted to give the government 90% of what they'd be making, so no one did, and the 1950's were absolutely booming for the US middle and lower class. You could afford a new house, car, and two kids at a job you didn't need a college diploma for (or often even a highschool diploma) on a single income household.

Without having to pay ridiculous sums of money to the ceo's and executives and whatnot, companies were just left with the option of using the funds to invest back into their companies and their employees instead going after pocketing as much money as quickly as possible.

Now also make it illegal to sell physical copies of games that need day 0 patches/downloads to make them work.

I still kick on my original nes every now and then. 20 years from now when you dig out your old copy of borderlands 3 and there's no longer a download available, you think you'll get to play through the game?

He has money because he was a damn fine computer programmer, had some great ideas, and got pretty good at selling and monopolizing his product. He doesn't "just have money". He was skilled and intelligent. He may or may not be wrong about gpt, but he has a hell of a lot more knowledge about the subject and insight into gpt's inner workings than probably anyone else on Lemmy.

Buy a computer and a controller for it if you don't want to use mouse and keyboard. You're old. You can spare a day or two learning something new.

The novel ways that we've come up with to make processors and circuit boards over the past 40 years has been pretty amazing. I believe you're giving people of the 1930s too much credit here. Just for instance, the entire industry has known making chips smaller with more transistors will yield better performance for the past 40+ years. It's taken coming up with manufacturing "tricks" this long to get down to what we have today. Same thing for ram and hard drives.

And the code that programs it all to run would be completely unreadable. Much less the understanding of all the code for stuff that wouldn't have been named, created, or thought of, yet. Or how to program and read anything off the a solid state hard drive or the ram.

The first "digital computer" was made in 1945. You would bump that up a bit sooner by giving them a laptop in the 1930s, but most things since then have been just trying to refine the manufacturing process. They wouldn't be able to recreate the laptop at all. Not even in the 1980s would they be able to create it.
