A cool guide Types of plugs in the world
  • It's not worth the trade off of the giant plug in my opinion. And local fusing doesn't really protect the user directly, it protects the wires. Modern codes in Europe put the equivalent of GFCIs on all circuits which can actually save lives.

  • New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters
  • There's something special about a game like red dead 2 or ghost of tsushima that makes you stop and just enjoy the scenery. Games with good graphics have their place, it's just that they need to also have all the other elements to be any good.

  • [General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?
  • I gave up on it fairy easily, because after it was forced on us, the market also responded by flooding with cheap and decent options for headphones, which I started trying out and slowly I stopped using a wire with my phone.

    I still think bluetooth is not great, with a lot of weird connection issues even on expensive devices, which was never a problem with a wire, but I do enjoy the freedom it offers.

  • Why Germany ditched nuclear before coal—and why it won’t go back
  • They already had it and it was working just fine. They tore it down and went full coal and some gas. Now wind and solar are taking over slowly, but it's been years with more pollution and more radiation than any already working nuclear plant would have emmited.

  • If it works, kill it.
  • I have the same impression after comparing it recently to Spotify. On Spotify there is no dislike button so I can't say, please don't play this song anymore, I can only ban the entire artist which is definitely not what I want and also not as easy to do. Then when it comes to generated playlist out of one song, the Spotify songs seem irrelevant to the song they start from, while the yt songs are at the very least in the same genre.

    And the interface works fine, I'm never sure what people talk about when they say it's not good.

  • ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say
  • Don't use it if you don't like it, but don't give this bullshit Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda control of something just because you don't like it.

    It's just as bad or good as any other algorithm based content app like Facebook or Instagram. If we have a problem with privacy for example then go after that like with gdpr.

  • Former Microsoft developer says Windows 11's performance is "comically bad," even with monster PC
  • If I can't notice a difference while playing games, web browsing, video and photo editing, and working in blender and cad software, what is left to define slow operation? It operating slow should be something noticeable for it to be an issue.

    It used to be a problem in windows 98 days, I remember as much. And it is a problem on my work computer but that is day one config from the company, not over time degradation.

    Like I said, I dislike windows and it's dark pattern bullshit as much as the next guy, but performance has not been one of my issues with it on my personal devices.

  • Former Microsoft developer says Windows 11's performance is "comically bad," even with monster PC
  • That hasn't really been my experience. The computers I own have had windows for multiple years. I tend to install it when first setting up and never again.

    The work laptop has good specs but trash performance from day one that I got it. I had a laptop that I gave away that was much lower spec than the work laptop and it ran better in every way, probably because it had none of the bloat.

    Windows in my opinion has huge issues in other areas but performance hasn't been one of them in the last 15 years for me, probably in part because I avoid running any heavy services in the background.

  • Is there an auto hide read feature?

    I've been using sync for a while and occasionally I go looking in the settings for the feature to hide read posts automatically, instead of having to do it manually. Other Lemmy clients have this so I was convinced sync should probably have it as well, I just can't find it. Does this exist? If not, is it something that could be added? Thanks!
