When I tried a game that had a 120hz mode, I had to lower the quality a little to get it work well, but didn’t notice a big difference, but there was a difference.

A few days later I went back to 60hz so i could increase the graphics quality , and the difference was crazy huge. I had to go back to 120hz.

Did you say you want really clear ads? We got just that!

Maybe they had it right in Ready Player One.

Even that could become a risk if they are banned in the country. They can be detected and your location triangulated.

This would be a set it up somewhere that’s not home, use it quickly, pack it up and go type situation.

By the time everything is released, I bet the list of top level officials not in the files will be shorter than the ones in the files.

It’s probably a requirement to get a specific level position.

I know it’ll never happen, but these kinds of changes should be mandated opt-in by law.

Make sure you’re just using a VPN in general that way you aren’t possibly leaking content information if you connect to a http site that they’ll then train with. I think there’s another step you can do with DNS but I’m not as familiar with that.

HTTPS everywhere, or similar, are good plugins to help prevent mistakes as well.

Even if you don’t use starlink, you had bet your ass other ISPs are using this data to track you and monetize you as well, so it’s just best practice overall.

Article discusses how it’s really hard to build a white-list of Ukrainian military starlink inventory because many of them have been purchased by soldiers or donated by volunteers and they’re worried about their superiors confiscating / redeploying them elsewhere.

I’d always wondered about making white-lists but hadn’t considered this problem before

Texas has runoffs? How the fuck did that ever get passed there.

Netflix

Standard with ads: $7.99 / month

Netflix in 2011 no ads: $7.99 / month.

Of course they are trying to make money, but the ads are absolutely saving you money.

Edit: and just to he super clear here: Netflix was never going to be $7.99/m without ads in 2026.

If you don’t like it then don’t use it, but that doesn’t mean ads aren’t keeping it cheaper.

Prices are always going to go up because of inflation and changes in service.

Netflix started as a mail in DVD swap. Then they showed content from other companies, then they tried making their own content, then they went heavy into making their own content, then they started making games you can play, then they started doing live streams.

It goes on and on, and that was never going to stay the same price.

There are thousands of games / apps you can use for free. How? Ads. You know what you can also often do? Pay to get rid of those ads.

albeit with slightly more effort.

customers will flow toward the path of least resistance

I think that’s the crux of it. It can be done, but I would bet the vast majority are just playing steam games on SteamOS

So if you launch on Steam, you can reach PC users and Mobile users, and someone might decide to buy the game on steam knowing it will work easily on both.

You left off the newer steam deck which opens your games up to a mobile audience.

He doesn’t have a lot of money. He has shares in companies.

Selling those shares would crater the value as we saw when even a tiny fraction were sold when he bought Twitter.

So if you didn’t want to tank millions of people invested in his companies, especially Tesla with things like ETFs where peoples pensions are held, it would probably be best to transfer ownership of those shares to someone.

Maybe the government could take them and in some cases that would be the equivalent of taking ownership/nationalizing of the company (e.g spacex where he owns majority voting rights)

The video isn’t of that. She was driving in a car and they were chasing her, likely due to filming them before this starts.

They speed ahead of her, no flashing lights, stop in front of her and come out of the car guns immediately drawn ponting at her wearing masks.

The aftermath might be you’re dead… but eventually this is going to happen and they will survive and it’s going to go to court. I would love to see the precedent get set that it was indeed self defense.

This masked non identifying shit is insane.

An egg slicer that you could also use to slice strawberries, whole pitted olives and other similar things.

It’s so quick compared to doing it manually, and so easy to clean.

This one is a claim by the person who was allegedly raped, so they’ll just say it’s all made up.

What they’re hiding is things like an email from Trump to Epstien after this happens saying so and so girl at the calender girls night was fantastic and gave great head. Or whatever, but the stuff they say or records that would corroborate it.

Edit: for example, any email that says calendar girl night would add a huge amount of credibility to this report.

Looks like I was outdated on the subsidy side.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/01/starlink-demands-grant-money-from-states-even-when-residents-dont-buy-service/

While that almost 1 billion grant did get cancelled, it looks like they actually did get another grant, but haven’t received the money yet. That’s for $733.5 million to provide subsidized services to 472,000 locations.

It sounds like SpaceX is trying to put requirements on the states though if they accept it, so we’ll see if this goes through or not.

If it does though, this would be the government giving them a lot of money.
