Toothpaste conspiracy rule
  • It just happens that in this case the incentives would align cause they're not paying for the toothpaste.

  • Here's your first look at Huawei Watch GT 5
  • Mostly heart rate tracking and scheduling reminders so I don't forget things. Also good for step tracking and stuff, realistically I'll just get a Garmin next time cause I still want the long battery life and that's not really a thing with Android based smart watches.

  • Here's your first look at Huawei Watch GT 5
  • I miss when the Galaxy Watch ran Tizen instead of Android. I still have the original Galaxy Watch and the battery life is just unbeatable. Likely because it's not constantly phoning home about the most benign metrics.

  • Top EU court rules Apple owes Ireland over $14B in back taxes.
  • I didn't see it in the article, but doesn't Ireland have comically low tax rates to start with?

  • DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube.
  • I like the concept and generally it works well, unfortunately I've had to disable it because of how sluggish it can make a lot of pages feel. The playlist view in particular becomes hard to use when the extension is enabled.

    Hopefully they fix stuff like that longer term so I can turn it back on.

  • Volkswagen considers German plant closures to save billions in costs | The Guardian
  • They're looking for subsidies it seems, they're getting some pretty generous benefits from the Canadian government so might as well take advantage of it.

  • Intel’s Troubles Complicate U.S. Chip Independence
  • Intel's current CEO is Pat Gelsinger, he's an engineer who was the chief architect of the i486.

    It's not just who's at the top, the issue is that the company has gotten too big. There's a reason why AMD with such a lower staff count has managed to leapfrog Intel.

  • Is there a way to make TNT explode if the "tnt explodes" option has been turned off?
  • TNT is server side, so no not really.

  • Microsoft backtracks on deprecating the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel | Microsoft has either backtracked or clarified its language to remove the note about Control Panel being deprecated
  • Yeah it's annoying as hell, wish they'd stop killing their own OS. I honestly think the first few builds of Windows 11 were a decent step in the right direction in terms of actually getting everything feeling relatively cohesive again. But the AI push and everything that happened right after release has started to let the rot creep back in again.

    Next GPU I get I'm just going to run Linux as my main OS and have a VM with a GPU pass through so I can stop losing my mind.

  • Microsoft backtracks on deprecating the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel | Microsoft has either backtracked or clarified its language to remove the note about Control Panel being deprecated
  • I think this is likely to be what I saw others mention on earlier posts. Lots of enterprise or business software that hooks into the control panel.

    So even if Microsoft does migrate all the Windows options over to settings there's still going to be software that uses control panel to manage their own settings.

    Unless Microsoft is going to make it possible to hook into the new settings app just as easily then they're going to have to keep the old one around even though they keep crippling it.

  • Microsoft begins cracking down on people dodging Windows 11's system requirements
  • Yeah as much as this sucks I honestly hope that Microsoft will actually take advantage of this and start moving legacy support into more specialized options.

    A lot of the reason windows is so janky at times is because of the insane obsession they have with backwards compatibility.

  • Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app
  • They're just going to push people to the cheaper units at this point.

    I was looking at sous vide cookers a few months back and was considering ANOVA but they were too expensive. Opted for a generic one instead.

    The fact that they're more expensive and require a subscription for what's essentially a set of presets that my cheap unit has for free is just ridiculous.

  • You ignored the adware distribution, if you want to see him spreading misinformation feel free to check his Twitter. It runs the gamut from antivaxxer to literal Russian propaganda.

  • It's hard to feel any sympathy for the guy at this point, he went from odd eccentric file sharing site founder, to adware distributor, all the way to misinformation spreading conspiracy theorist.
