Teknikal , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.

Teknikal , to Technology in A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

All I want from an Os is to launch my programs of choice and not suck up my battery running unnecessary junk I couldn't care less about.

Teknikal , to Technology in New breakthrough may let us charge smartphones in 60 seconds
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.

Teknikal , to Technology in Mysterious cyberattack took down more than 600,000 routers in the U.S.
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.

Teknikal , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Was this considered 'piracy' back in the day?
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.

@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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've actually been watching this guy for a while, it's interesting his homemade rc stuff etc.

Teknikal , to Ask Lemmy in Which is the best micro sd card company/manufacturer you can recommend ?
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.

Teknikal , to Android in What is your go-to app for IR remote?
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

Smart Ir was the perfect ir app, but yeah I think they shelved it when the hardware went mostly away on phones.

Sucks we are going backwards and being charged more for the privilege.

I honestly though all phones would have night vision cameras and similar by now but yeah In 5 years we will be lucky if they can make phone calls

Teknikal , to Videos in Intel vs AMD Laptops in 2024 - What a Mess...
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.

Desktops though you might as well go power crazy.

Teknikal , (edited ) to Technology in YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.

Teknikal , to Technology in YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

Google's a dumb ass company and I strongly suspect them to be Americas replacement to the echolon program mainly due to the timing.

Seems profits getting a bit more relevant than intelligence to them these days.

Yeah I'd rather go without YouTube than deal with the ads at this point they went ridiculous with it a long time ago.

Teknikal , to Ask Lemmy in Which programming languages do you know?
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.

Teknikal , to Ask Android in Is Android increasingly inconsistent?
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

That drives me mad I manually went through every single app turning this off, it still does it anyway.

Teknikal , to Android in First Phone 2, now the Nothing Phone 1 is getting ChatGPT integration
@Teknikal@lemm.ee avatar

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.
