Is it possible for modern games to fit on a disk?

I think it would be an interesting change if brand new games had a hard limit on file size so they can fit on and play from an actual disk.

I often wish for a little slide-out keyboard at the bottom end of my smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy s22 with standard everything. I wish it did what you're describing!

Make a budget. Live by that budget for a month. On the first of the next month, make another budget.

You don't actually have to do this forever, but long enough to get the basic ebb and flow of money into your head. Planning to put more into x category means having less for y category.

Build up savings, a little at a time. Get used to dipping into that for emergencies.

Disregard if you're a billionaire or entirely living off the land.

Battery life

Keeping too many things running in the background, making things laggy. (I do close out apps when I'm done using them, and I solve laggy times with the Optimize widget. I just wish it would automatically optimize)

They figured out that this kind of feed makes the most money from the most users. They don't care if you like it, they care what the majority of users will stick around for. The longer total scrolling time they can get from their user base, the more ads they can cram in there. Ads make money.

Algorithm leads to more scroll time per person leads to more ads per user leads to more income

So, because money

Not sure why this post is on Lemmy. Is it copied over?

It's fine to discuss, not okay to pretend to have inside perspective

 

An obvious opposite of a recent question

 

I'm looking for a better knife sharpener for my hard steel chef knife. I think whetstones are the way to go, but most of the sets I see are 4 double sided stones. Do I need that many stones?

Is there a totally different type of sharpener that you have had success with?

Edit: I should add that I like my knife very sharp, and I have a few tiny chips in the cutting edge from a cheap drag-through sharpener.

 

On android, I've had trouble with adguard.dns constantly kicking my phone off my wifi. It did great with blocking ads everywhere, but I'm done with reconnecting so often, and I have less data available on my phone plan these days to fill in.

I'm looking for something I can fill in this spot and it just works

What other addresses have you used that consistently block ads?

 

This time, with rules.

The other post got me thinking, here's my version.

For 5 million dollars, the task is the hide a paperclip in your home from a professional investigator. You have 15 minutes to hide it, they have 12 hours and subcontractors to find it. You cannot leave your house or have anything shipped in during your 15 minutes. You have to leave immediately after the 15 minutes is up, and you cannot have the paperclip on your person. Any family members, friends, and all pets will also be removed from the premises, and they aren't allowed to have the paperclip.

You must be able to produce the original paperclip at the end in order to win the challenge. It is marked in some way that you don't know but the investigator can verify. Absolutely no substitutions. You can bend the paperclip, but not cut it.

The paperclip must be inside the building. Not in a shared entryway, not outside the walls in any way. Between the studs of the outside walls of whatever you own or rent as living space are as far as you can go.

Any damage done by the investigator or subcontractors will be repaired back the way it was at no charge, win or lose. They are not allowed to harm the structural integrity of your home/apartment.

I'm looking for a cheap plan for two unlocked phones that I already have. I'd like a plan that has 5-10 gigs per line, works with T-Mobile or Verizon, and available in Ohio.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely website that would easily and clearly compare cell phone plans from any provider who had service in a given area. It has since been filled with ads, featured partners and compares only introductory rates.

Is there another site that compiles and compares real world information on data plans and stuff? Do I have to just poke around on multiple different websites and compile information myself?

 

It's no wonder I lost. He knew Karate and I only know Try Kwan D'oh!

 

Like, obviously around here you don't subscribe to a subreddit, were not on reddit.

What about referring to the Original Poster as OP?

What about etiquette like marking edited posts and comments with "Edit: added words or explanations of edits made"?

It'll be 4 seconds slow in the afternoon, which is to say it's gone back for seconds.

Suppose whoever is in charge of making wants to tell the exact same story with a new cast, possibly a new location. You're in charge of picking the songs for the movie.

You magically have access to the rights of any song ever, the only limitations is that the songs should fit at the same points of the same story as the first movie.

Do you use the same songs? Would you run with a different genre? Change decades? Swap in different Abba songs? Is it sacrilege to even wonder?

 

The term is quite over used in my opinion, it is very often used in hyperbole. Whether it is in terms of popularity and driving traffic to a website or a threat said to break the Internet, it doesn't seem to live up to the meaning of the term.

 

For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.
