China made a bet decades ago because it couldn’t compete with the US on cars. That bet is paying off big
  • I also prefer electric cars, but goddamn if I haven't gotten a heart attack multiple times from a sneaky silent ev fly past me minding my own business walking on the road. (not every road has sidewalks in the non-US city where I live)

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition Review & Benchmarks: Gaming, Thermals, & Power [ch: Gamers Nexus, t: 40:02]
  • Don't want to get into a whole argument, But ltt suggested to stop throwing dirt. GN turned around and just continued slinging dirt. Just feels weird to me.

  • Would not adding a stamp and return address on a letter give you free postage
  • Depending on your local postal laws and how willing your postman is, it would either get delivered, and the delivery address gets asked to pay, or it would not get delivered. Or it would get delivered, with just a little complaint note attached.

    I'd argue the risk of non delivery is probably relatively high in most countries.

    Place where I live has super good postal delivery. My workplace gets quite a lot of post. They deliver it with a little note to inform you postal fees should be paid.

  • A whole lot of shit slinging at LTT for no real reason. At when LTT rebuked the claims and suggested to stop doing so and work together in the future, GN just decided to double down and continue.

    A bunch of childish stupid drama tbh, but very one-sided.

  • To be honest, GN is not worth your viewing time anymore. He's just trying to stir drama on tech YouTube for the sake of starting drama...

    He got multiple olive branches offered to stop the drama and he just threw them on top of the fire. He's being a manchild for no reason.

  • SNES Mods and Romhacks Collection 2025
  • Cheers. Rom hacks are like indie gaming lite. Some of them are great fun.

  • NOTES from the 1.5yr mark (of this sublemmy)--
  • I absolutely love your posts. I didn't realize you were posting daily. Every time I saw a post (a few ten times) , I tried to interact with it. You've given me some great recommendations for comics. Absolutely loved them.

    I look forward to what you have to share in 2025!

  • I use windows. I haven't paid for a windows key since windows 7 iirc. Windows has been free for years. (I know you pay with your data etc. Good luck convincing average Joe who uses all social media services that this even matters)

  • For me personally: I really enjoy tiktok. My feed is curated enough over time that I only see stuff I'm genuinely interested in, comedy, science, tech, fitness and ofcourse skimpy dancing ladies. I do not suffer from the so called propaganda on it.

    I agree that tiktok melts brains of teenagers, but so does Instagram reels, facebook and YouTube shorts. So that isn't a tiktok issue in itself anymore.

  • "What kind of series is ***Largo Winch***?" Some thoughts, with a few art samples.
  • Oh yeah, I also read xiii. Not sure which one I prefer though. Difficult choice.

  • people woho regularly go to fast food chains like Burger king - why?
  • I like tasty gourmet food. But I also like junk.

    I genuinely like a big Mac or a domino pizza. Are they as good as a gourmet burger or a wood oven pizza? Not even close. Can I enjoy them regularly? Absolutely.

  • Who's rolling grave would probably generate the most electricity and why?
  • My grandfather for sure. No way he would be able to understand the current cultural climate. He basically died from getting worked up about stuff the entire time in the late 90s. I'm 100% sure he never stopped rolling around.

  • The Japanese ‘micro-forest’ method is transforming cities
  • Lived in Japan for more than 2 decades. Never saw one.

    Japanese cities have a surprising lack of green tbh.

  • "What kind of series is ***Largo Winch***?" Some thoughts, with a few art samples.
  • Yeah, I'm a big fan of Largo Winch. It reads like a James bond thriller. Great characters, great art and absolutely thrilling stories.

  • YSK There’s someone running around Lemmy posting misinformation against Wikipedia
  • Or even better, donate to wikipedia. I know I just did.

  • I use a seedbox abroad and secure ssh to transfer stuff to my own server. Don't see what additional security a vpn would give me.

  • Which keyboard app do you use on your phones? Do you enable clipboard history in it?
  • I use swiftkey. I type in 3 different languages daily (even in individual conversations) . Swiftkey does this very simply and automatically. Almost no fucking around with changing languages. It just does it by itself.

    Would love to use other keyboards, but none of them comes even close if you need multiple languages all the time.

  • Japan ranks 92nd in English proficiency, lowest ever: survey
  • Half the foreigners survive on the shitty education system though. No need to organize mass deportations in Japan. Just stop English education and 50% of white guys are gone instantly.

  • Mastodon vs BlueSky - differences
  • Could just write your tweets in notepad you know. If you don't want anyone to see what you do.

  • Traveling to the US - How to prepare

    I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

    I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

    Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

    [suggestion] require model/prompt to post

    I love the content posted here. As someone that has recently started dabbling in AI image Gen, it would be an amazing learning tool to see a) which model was used to generate the image and b) which prompt was given. With a) being most interesting imo.

    Is there any reason this is not required?

    (hope it's OK to post this here, didn't see anything in the rules about it)
