If you are communicating in a language that renders from the right side to the left side, then the right side is fine. Perfect even. If your language renders from left to right, then the left side is the perfect side.

For casual viewing, 8K is not terribly important. We survived for years just fine with far less resolution than that. For computer monitors, where every detail matters, 8K is exceedingly important.

I started on an 11 inch black and white NTSC television as a monitor. It utterly destroyed my vision. 1024x768 was like looking through a scanning electron microscope in comparison. But I could still see the pixelation of the fonts which causes severe eyestrain for me. I run at 4K currently, and it is not bad, but it is still not good. I do not think 8K will be perfect; however, I think it will actually be good. A shame I didn't see any 8K monitors that looked useful to me.

It is amazing to me that you can talk so much sense and be level-headed and then instantly dive into supporting one wing of a two party oligarchy working together.

You: And for fuck's sake, if I click on one of those news articles, open it in my default browser, not Edge!

Microsoft: No

Huh? Microsoft knows EXACTLY what their customers want. The problem only arises because Microsoft values what they want more than they value what the customer wants. In fact, much of what Microsoft wants is directly contrary to what customers want. They would rather quite their business entirely than allow the customer's desires to override their own.

Long story short, no matter what they say, they will never ever give customers what customers want.

They never lost focus. Their focus has been laser-tight for as long as I remember. That focus was cash and apparently, they have been incredibly successful. Operating system? Huh?

I tried to find exactly what you were responding to, but I couldn't figure it out. I figured I should respond since another reply of mine just mentioned 10mph.

You do realize that there are times where driving at 10mph or even slower is absolutely appropriate... especially when next to a school and classes are letting out and lines of cars are blocking access to the sidewalks.

A human driver likely would not have reacted as fast, that is true. They do not give enough details in the article, but consider this:

You are driving near a school, school has just let out, you see children streaming out of the school and you see a line of cars, including tall SUVs and minivans and such.

A rational human is aware that the situation is volatile and creeps along at 10 mph. The kid jumps out suddenly and the car never hits them, not even at 6mph, because the person driving was just waiting for that to occur.

Could a human driver do better? Absolutely. Will a human driver do any better? Depends on the human.

I absolutely LOVE this type of lie.

Yes, *I* can use an Android based device without ever having a Google account. I am guessing you can too; otherwise, you would have realized your mistruths would lead everyone else to a cliff.

Please tell me the steps that you take to use an Android phone without a Google account immediately after taking the phone out of the box. What is that? You CAN"T? You have to flash firmware onto the device first? Hm. So it is possible, but only for advanced users, not for the common person.

That is the theory, the reality is that they are all different, especially Samsung. Google services are extraordinarily hampered on Samsung phones. You can't use Google Photos no matter what you do as Samsung has its own app tied to photos and refuses to allow Google Photos to be used as an interface to the pictures you took with your own camera. Google Photos can still upload all of your data, but it can't be used as an interface to see your photos.

Google Spam filtering also does not work with Samsung phones. You have to register for a Samsung account to use Samsung call filtering.

Instead of going through an exhaustive list, just understand that Samsung wants all of the data that Google is raping you for and changes the behavior of Android to achieve that... so no, not all Android phones are the same.

I am guessing that you live in Houston. As someone who does not live in Houston, it does NOT feel like any other big city in this country. It feels more alive and real and meaningful than almost every other city I have visited... kind of like Miami in a way. Both cities feel "alien" compared to most other cities. They clearly have more culture than most places on this planet.

As bad as Houston is, I low-key kind of want to live there to experience it in all of its weird glory. Every time I visit, I find something to absolutely love and hate about Houston.

Weird. There was/is (?) a home builder called Pulte Homes.

Interesting choice of director there. I wonder how that happened. Just random chance I am certain.

Perhaps the bad people are targeting people who don't have 2A rights (non-citizens) and/or people who do not own guns?

Let's be real here: You are straight up advocating violent response here. Easy to do from the outside, but who would the average 2A American shoot right now if they are not personally involved? President? Governor? Judge? Random police?

I think you should save your 2A comments for something that you are personally involved in rather than inciting violence in the general population.

Me. The USA is ceding absurd amounts of power as part of "aggressive negotiations". I don't think they realize they are losing that power permanently, not merely temporarily. The world is NOT going back to the way it was, so, the future is very uncertain and nuclear weapons are the ultimate tantrum.

Samsung alters Android in user hostile ways. Pursuing 20% of the market with an interface that pushes people away is ... an interesting choice. Money is always right, so here we are. Reality will do its thing and everyone will recoil in horror saying they had no idea it could go this wrong... while the rest of us are sitting here nodding our heads saying, "yep, we couldn't possibly foresee this going badly".

lol, morons.
