Most Americans want to electrify their homes — if they can keep their gas stoves
  • In addition to the other comments about it being just as quick, if not faster and easier to get a consistent heat, I also found the noise level was way better - it'll hum if the pan isn't centered properly, and the power is turned up, but when simmering, it's pretty much silent which was weird but suprisingly nice.

  • Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag
  • I installed 11 the other day on a 6th gen intel with the official installer on a USB, I only tried because I already had it from another computer - YMMV, but it didn't check any requirements for me.

  • Do we live in a computer simulation like in The Matrix? Proposed new law of physics backs up the idea
  • The latest season of Futurama actually illustrated this, that due to time being relative you can just slow down the simulation to reduce the requirement to run at a 1:1 performance ratio with our current environment.
    It also describes that someone from flatland wouldn't be able to tell that they're missing out on a dimension, or quality, because it's their only frame of reference.

    Definitely not scientific in approach, but it is thought provoking around the possibility of a simulated existence.

  • The best Android phone to buy in 2023 - The Verge
  • I've only had 1 phone in the last 10 years that didnt wirelessly charge, and there's zero chance I'd buy a phone without it again. And I'm really hoping qi2 starts appearing in phones next year.

    I don't understand the need for super fast charging, like it's handy if you're on the run and forgot about it, but I need more charging than my phone does, so it's no issue to just plonk it on a stand when I'm resting....

  • Nokia to cut as many as 14,000 jobs as profit drops by 69%
  • HMD Global is a Finnish company, run by ex-Nokia executives. It's pretty nuch the old Nokia, seperated enough to not bankrupt the original company if it goes bad.

    The phones are no more Chinese than Google and Apple.

  • Likewise, pay for full Nitro, I can afford it and it's a platform I use frequently and enjoy, I'm glad they let others who can't pay for Nitro have a pretty much equivalent service for free.

    It's not free to run a platform, and it's unreasonable to demand everything for free. It could be more reasonably priced (basic is not too bad), but honestly I'm okay with subsidising others for something like this.

  • Should I buy a Pixel or a Samsung?
  • I'm going to get an S24 when they release, have pretty much always used Samsung when on Android.

    FWIW, I understand all the complaints about bloat from duplicated applications, but a significant amount of that blame should be on Google as well. I don't use the GMail app, but I can't uninstall it, so it's system bloat.

  • Nvidia Says Native Resolution Gaming is Out, DLSS is Here to Stay
  • I'm one of those people that uses DLSS, because I've got a large fancy 4k monitor that is big enough that is looks like shit at lower resolutions.

    DLSS is better than nothing but it's no replacement for native rendering, it introduces a heap of visual anomalies and inconsistencies, especially in games with a consistent motion (racing games look like shit with DLSS), so I tend to be having lows of 50fps on medium before I'll even think about DLSS.
    I'm also pretty sure Nvidia is paying devs to have it on by default, because everytime it's patched into a game they clear all the current graphics settings to turn on DLSS, at least in my experience.
