That’s the thing, I don’t want to invest that time. If I’m looking at the rating of a movie, I’m already interested, I just need to know if I’m likely to enjoy it or not. Whether it’s rated 5.8, 6.1 or 6.4 doesn’t do anything for me at that point, whereas the RT score answers that question perfectly.

I find Rotten Tomatoes much more useful. Knowing that 90% of critics gave a favorable review is infinitely more helpful for my decision to watch a movie than its IMDB score.

Another vote for Microsoft To-Do here. It’s powerful but manageable, and the sharing works very reliably and quickly.

It’s grifters all the way down.

It’s certainly progressing. I was shopping for bunk beds recently and one listing was missing a measurement in the diagram. So I put a red line in and asked ChatGPT for the dimension, just giving it the photo and asking how long the red line is. Not only did it take the existing measurements from the photo and applied the necessary trigonometry to calculate what I wanted, it also correctly identified it as a bunk bed, and that there is a slide attached to it - I was looking for how far the slide will stick out into the room.

It does.

Resistance is futile.

It’s not as comprehensive, but it still blocks ads. Personally, I’ve not noticed a difference. If you are a power user with custom rules and third party lists then your experience will vary.

To be honest, the Lite version is working well enough for me right now that I don’t feel like I need to switch.

The whole concept is different. I’ve just started trying it and the gist of it is that it’s basically only the app drawer, but on steroids. There is no home screen to arrange, you simply set favorite apps that show up first. Anything else you select by scrolling through the alphabet, which seems quick enough if you know the app name you’re looking for.

I can already tell that I would love it more if favorites were redesigned a bit to use the initial space better. But this would betray the simplicity they are trying to achieve.

So what, you assume that everyone not literally voting for Trump doesn’t support him? That’s ridiculous. The real number surely is closer to half than it is to the quarter that the votes add up to.

America is Israel’s bitch, different situation.

Guess what, they have mine fields now. Probably much more than a strategic strip at the border.

It just means they’ve survived the first part of the bathtub curve. To me that’s a bonus.

I truly despise how simplified things have gotten. Interacting and modifying YouTube playlists is such a chore now.

I use an app on my phone that lets me use it as a touchscreen and keyboard for my Linux media PC. I have no idea if it will ever (be able to) support Wayland.

North Korea has been running dozens of literal concentration camps, but dealing with that has been too inconvenient. And it’s only becoming more so as time passes.

As much as you can afford. When it comes to technology you can’t go for the budget options without truly feeling the consequences.

That was true when the modern smartphone was a new concept. Since then, cheap models (a little above the bare minimum) have steadily become better and these days, aside from photography, will do anything the more expensive ones can. Which have also gotten much more expensive than they used to be. Unless you need specialty features like folding or S-Pen, it’s not worth it.

Ukrainian civilians are fair game to the Russian military, so…
