Blackmist,

Only you can stop it, by being old and using it wrong. You bunch of rizzers.

Blackmist,

I guess it also helps when you already own all the land to put them on.

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

Blackmist,

How are you killing your battery after two years?

Even my cheapshit Honor 9 lasted six before it started getting random shutoffs.

Blackmist,

“Oh man, I’d love to use Linux because then I wouldn’t have to have Edge installed!” - Nobody. Ever.

People use Windows because it comes with the PC and it runs all their shit (maybe except some yellowing-beige and blue scanner from 1997) with no fucking about needed. They were never incentivised to use Linux. They don’t know what an OS is, and more importantly, they don’t care.

Blackmist,

If you hum The Final Countdown while it’s loading, it’ll let you play original Vice City instead!

    Blackmist,

    You mean you’re not using Mailarr to download your own stamps?

    Blackmist,

    I don’t understand why they sell GPUs for up to $2000, and they still come with the same crappy fans we had on $150 cards.

    Want watercooling? Have fun invalidating your warranty.

    Blackmist,

    Drivers are definitely out. Some games are really iffy. Especially from the Win 9x era, where they’d do stupid things like look for a 9 in the version string of Windows, or get the amount of RAM as a 32 bit signed int, so refuses to install if you have 4GB RAM or more.

    We had a lot of dodgy old DOS programs that were fine under Win98, but XP broke them.

    Blackmist,

    Or they leave a link to the solution.

    The link is dead.

    Blackmist,

    Always jarring when you open a folder dialog, and an unresizeable chunk of Windows 3.1 suddenly appears.

    I know it’s still in the ODBC settings, probably other places too.

    Blackmist,

    One of the bosses at my work has a massive Fall Guy truck, and often has huge items delivered to work, just so he has an excuse to use it.

    “You won’t get that in the back of a Fiesta”

    That’s right dickhead, because we’d have the items delivered to our homes.

    Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

    Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

    Blackmist,

    The Wadsworth Constant was a thing even from the earliest days of Youtube.

    Blackmist,

    How dare you besmirch Shadow Raid Legends VPN like that!

    Blackmist,

    I can only assume they’re some sort of front for a cartel because I’ve never met anyone that actually plays it.

    Blackmist,

    Good old Windows ME.

    Blackmist,

    I think the mangled English there is suggesting that some people don’t care enough, and other people have enough money (to buy Windows).

    Not that it matters because who the fuck pays for Windows anyway? OEMs do, but not normal people. Everything since like Windows 7 has been a free upgrade, and normies get a new PC more often than that so get a copy with it.

    Blackmist,

    Good luck with that. All browsing on iOS is Safari, so likely all the FF extensions would need to be remade from scratch.

    Blackmist,

    Apparently it’s to do with cloud password saving.

    Blackmist,

    Moved to Firefox a while ago, specifically because of Manifest V3.

    The only issue I’ve found so far is that you can’t log in to PSN on it. Just locks the browser completely and you need to kill it in task manager. Apparently it’s to do with password saving.

    Blackmist,

    Gained a puffer jacket to disguise the noodly arms.

    But lost socks meaning less winter survival. Might be balanced out by beards to hide wobbly chins.

    Blackmist,

    That moment where you finally convince your boss it’s not worth fixing, and then you instantly think of a way to easily solve it.

    Blackmist,

    I like Colm Meany, but every picture I’ve ever seen of him looks like somebody has Photoshopped his face to be slightly smaller, like the old Woll Smoth memes.

    Blackmist,

    I feel seen.

    Use your legs for a bit and they won’t get as cold.

    Blackmist,

    How quickly we forget Laserdisc and Video CDs.

    Oh and UMD, but I don’t think “I want to watch a movie in poor quality on a tiny screen on a device that’ll probably run out of battery before the movie finishes” was a market anybody was really interested in.

    Blackmist, (edited )

    I remember ripping a CD to one with an optical cable. It split by tracks and everything.

    I felt like Johnny Mnemonic.
