    All these people in the comments complaining that the bar isn't level when the picture is just taken from a slight side angle? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ literal perspective problem 😂

    Also people being like "lol no such thing as a TV-bar-hanger-contractor"..... Audio/video contractors of course do this??? Like, who said its the only thing their job entails?? 😂

    Jeez man, people got some PTSD about reddit power mods or something?? Why ya'll gotta be so shitty to the mods??

    That thread was definitely getting toxic af, specifically the troll that posted. I agree with ya'll saying it makes sense to encourage discussion, esp on topics that're controversial, but like go read some of that OP's comments on that thread! They were being shitty to people just to be shitty - I think the mod made the right call for sure.

    Even if the mod were off base, no excuse to treat 'em like shit!

    So stoked to see this. A bit disheartening to read this kinda shit, though=

    “This victory against Google is an historic win for the American people,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland. “No company — no matter how large or influential — is above the law. The Justice Department will continue to vigorously enforce our antitrust laws.”

    Only to be followed a few paragraphs down by

    ...a drawn-out appeals process will delay any immediate effects for both consumers and advertisers. The appeals process could take as long as five years...

    Sigh.

    Yeah that shit was my final straw when they released it. Between sluggish behavior and instability, their focus on BeTtEr ShUfFlE was too fucking dumb to stick around.

    I'm working on buying copies of all my main tracks and have otherwise fallen back to my old-ass mp3 collection from ages ago. Never going back

    For what's worth, I registered for the FCC's do not call registry way back and it helped a bit - but once you're registered, if you get spam calls, you can report the numbers to the FCC for having called you despite being on the registry. YMMV but it might be worth a shot!

    Yeah I've started doing the same and its almost like they maintain a list of us time wasters 😅 I'll typically play along as long as I can so they think I'm all game. After they rage quit I immediately call the number back from a second phone and attempt to play dumb like I got disconnected, typically with some other dumbass that just resets and starts the script over, so I get a free two-fer 😂

    It has become a fun little ride every once in a while!

    Surprised to see so many defending windows 11 here! The ad insertion all throughout the system is SO bad, but what they've done to the right-click (context?) Menu was the last straw. Like, most options are hidden underneath the stupid inflated touch-friendly list. Give me a button to disable it (that isn't in the registry), at least!

    The final straw for me though was my VR just quit one day - but I could dual boot back to windows 10 and it was fine somehow 🤷‍♂️ did a bunch of tricks to get it working to no avail, so I scrapped the windows 11 demo partition and finally gave Linux a try.

    VR definitely isn't ready on Linux (if you're stuck with an nvidia card like I am, for now) - but considering the OS is built on FOSS and its this feature rich and stable??? Never going back.

    Just be so careful not to spoil anything. If you lookup hints, do it with keywords to avoid spoilers as much as possible!

    One of a kind experience, definitely play it! 🙂

    Is there a way to lookup data linked to your Advertising IDs?

    I'm taking a class on data privacy at the moment, and it made me think it would be interesting to see exactly what kind of advertising data has been generated by services like Google \ YouTube \ Etc. Is there somewhere online that's easy to punch in an advertising ID & find that sort of data, or is that something you'd have to request from advertisers themselves? (AdSense etc?) Or maybe do the service providers (mentioned before) store that data? Forgive my ignorance - still learning about this stuff!

    [solved] Steam cloud stuck at checking \ out of sync https://sh.itjust.works/post/8487826

    Not sure if this will help anyone else, but I couldn't find anything online about this and thought I'd share this with online just in case! I just started playing Outer Wilds on the steam deck for a week or so, and was immediately in love with it. I decided to install it on my PC (popOS) to see how it looks with cranked graphics, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to sync my cloud saves! For some reason the deck kept saying the saves were syncing fine up to the cloud, but my pc kept sticking at 'checking....' when I asked it to sync... In the end, I ended up finding a setting in the steam client that enables compatibility for every title in steam that isn't Linux native... when I flipped it on, Outer Wilds (along with like 4 other games in my library) all immediately resolved their bugged cloud sync! So, I guess, steam will complain that it can't get your cloud saves to download, when really it doesn't have a compatdata folder for the saves to download *to*. Kinda jank!
