Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app
  • The first time i saw one of his reviews, i thought, "This guy isn't genuine." "That's not an opinion. it's a specification disguised as an opinion."

    He gave off real shill vibes, and then i later found out he was an apple simp, and it all came together. He isn't super biased, but he definitely gives more providence to apple products.

    His recent review of the apple vr headset was too nice. He said some bad things but qualifies each critisism with a "but i like that" or "but it's not a deal breaker."

    Maybe i created a bias against him based on my early impressions, but i just get a bad vibe from him. He doesn't seem to give his opinions.

    I will say, though, an exception would be that rabbit thing he reviewed poorly recently and got some backlash from the manufacturer for. I believe he then came back and justified his review. Although everyone was reviewing it poorly so he would give the game away if he said it was good. So perhaps its not an exception... i dont know. Im just freestyling this comment....

  • TIL if you want to make a powdered drink like hot chocolate or cup-a-soup, add a tiny amount of water to the powder and make a paste before adding the hot water to avoid clumping.
  • With chocolate milk i have always just added a small amount of boiling water to the powder and swished it round the cup. not with a spoon, just hold the cup at the top and swing it round in small circles and use centrifugal force to mix it (obviously dont swing it too hard or it will leave yo cup and burn your hand) then add the cold milk to the top. Never had clumps.

    But I will try this.

  • "Freeloaders"
  • Funny how that person responded to everyone except for you. You being the person who provided evidence that likely proves them completely wrong.

    Mustn't draw attention to the argument that beats mine.

  • Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement
  • But he is just giving an opinion. Sure if you want to scrutinise then his credentials matter but for the sake of this video we should take it at face value as its not like he is going to be taken seriously by sony. But echoing an opinion shared by many is important with the small platform he has.

    Looking at his channel it looks like he makes games for nintendo. And it would appear he has done other work outside of that field.

    If more people in the industry follow suit or if this gets more people talking about sonys terrible decisions then im all for it.

  • Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement
  • He says in the video. He's been a marketing consultant for some really big companies. No one is better to talk about poor marketing decisions than someone who does it for a living and for big companies. And his iew point aligns closely with what most people are thinking.

    Tbh you can decide for yourself how valid what he says it. Just watch the video. Its only short but it makes alot of sense.

  • Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design
  • Not many people get it until they get one. I got a fold 3 when it came out and have just upgraded to a fold 6 because i just couldn't go back. Its a better form factor for a mobile computing device. Its a phone thats also a small tablet! I gave my old one to my wife who was always averse to getting a fold and she has told me multiple times since then that its her favourite phone shes ever had.

  • Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests
  • That's what i am saying. You need to learn it. If someone explains it to you, then you are learning. If someone gives you the answer, then you dont understand it, so you are less good at said something.

    You agree with me...

  • Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests
  • Because AI and previously google searches are not a substitute for having knowledge and experience. You can learn by googling something and reading about how something works so you can figure out answers for yourself. But googling for answers will not teach you much. Even if it solves a problem, you won't learn how. And won't be able to fix something in the future without googling th answer again.

    If you dont learn how to do something, you won't be experienced enough to know when you are doing it wrong.

    I use google to give me answers all the time when im problem solving. But i have to spend a lot more time after the fact to learn why what i did fixed the problem.

  • Any ideas?
  • The high-end equipment that is better in the hands of skilled users or professionals is the equivalent to the high-end equipment and items purchased in a game.

    Whales in games start at the end game and would almost always lose against a skilled player with the same kit.

    The advantage they gain in both gaming and other hobbys is only an advantage against less skilled players or hobbyists.

    So thebmoney they spend on the best of the best isnt going to make them good at the hobby in question. The whale comparison fits with the theme perfectly.

  • Bunch of fucking fragile babies! Doesn't matter where it is in the world, the leaders are always 1 step away from a tantrum. Fucking grow up. You are supposed to be running the country not crying because someone insulted you.

    What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?

    Please understandnim asking this question from a genuine place. I dont want the quora answer, i want the tech savvy, security expert minds of my fellow lemmings. If thats ok?

    What happens to this data? What can/do they do with it? and why are so many people concerned about google tracking them?

    Do i as an average user need to be concerned?

    If so, What sorts of things can i do to avoid being tracked? Preferably without too much comprimise.

    How many 3rd party apps would we need to make reddit free again?

    u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party apps will fall under the free model because they wont make enough API calls to come under the paid model. So how many times would we need to clone, and rename, the good 3rd party apps and split the users up between them to make reddit free again?

    I think its still free if your app is making less than 100 queries per minute.

    u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party app will be unaffected by the change... i thought... yeah... if there are like 5 3rd party apps that 99% or users use then the other 45 apps out there will have like 10 downloads each.. so what a misleading and dumb thing to say.

    I guess you would need to limit how many people can be using each clone of the app but as elaborate as this is it would be funny to see that knobhead react to it if we did it.
