I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don't notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don't have a screen that can display 4K,...
I prefer them as well but if I want to keep something I usually encode to 576p I still don't really see any difference on my displays and it's just something I've been doing since I first tried encoding for the Sony Vita.
It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...
What if charging your phone took less time than brushing your teeth? A new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences could very well hold the key to a next-gen charger capable of recharging your phone in just 60 seconds....
Call me skeptical I guess but if you wanted a phone that worked as long as lithium say 5000mah using capacitors I think it would be a dozen times larger at least.
Maybe I've got it wrong and supercapacitors hold more energy or something like that.
I'd be more suspicious of the router manufacturer or even a disgruntled worker there than anyone else to be honest. An actual hacker I think would be more motivated to turn them into a botnet or similar.
Can't think of why someone would want to brick them without another motive but I could be wrong.
I had a friend whose family owned a video store, while it wasn't exactly legal he could get me copies of everything and they were completely perfect Pirates.
I mean covers, labels and the actual tapes. They had specialised machines for all of it and they did it pretty perfectly.
Ive tried doing it myself by linking two machines together and the results were watchable but not on the same level as the machines he was using.
Pretty much everything AI is a scam, I mean it has its uses but isn't exactly as claimed yet. Pretty much every non phone AI gadget I've seen so far definetly is a scam.

I don't care about speed, bigger storage, or small price difference all i want is it to not start corrupting my files randomly, die really fast, be unreliable etc . i just want something to put my files on then delete em and add something else, and forget about it and have it work for atleast 10 years . I don't really transfer...
Not sandisk I've bought maybe 3 and they all went unwritable in the first year and all bought from major UK stores like argos and pc world so yeah they can't blame that on online fakes.
I favor Amd for laptops the reason is simply Apus, I've a really nice modded version of fallout new vegas on my laptop if it was an intel Id need a decent graphics card to do the same. I mostly prefer older games so Apu is fine for me.
Could be I just can't get over the timing of echolon suddenly being called over and Google appearing almost instantly
That said I still use Google just don't trust it really I've always felt it was an intelligence company in truth and probably the echelons replacement.
Not many I'm entirely self taught and was into some dodgy things while I was into this programming.
I started off making password crackers in Visual basic I also let's say experimented in trojans and taking over the api functions of popular chat programs etc. I used to do some really childish let's call them pranks of people who argued with me in chateooms etc.
Never went much further than delphi as far as programming goes although I got surprisingly good at that but never in good ways.
I feel like I'm encountering weird little tics and problems with my android devices, and those of family and friends. Just simple things where settings don't seem to be consistently applied, or the os switches something back repeatedly. For example, my apps are set to auto update, to use data as well as WiFi, etc, but every...
What this really is, is only a shortcut to the chatgpt app, they've just made a widget which doesn't even do anything the official chatgpt widget doesn't.
How this is described as integrated is nonsense and more a publicity grab than anything else.
It really is just an oversized widget that just launches chatgpt.
Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?
