Ads aside, what’s been infuriating me lately is that YouTube seems to have degraded the quality of existing videos and locked the previously available quality behind the “1080p Enhanced Bitrate”; I have no way of confirming this since I obviously don’t have Premium, but I’m fairly sure that the regular 1080p of old videos that I rewatch from time to time (uploaded 2-3 years ago or earlier) is now worse than it was. If it was about new uploads with something previously unavailable, it would’ve been somewhat understandable. Something also tells me that the paid tier is also going to get ads eventually.

Ironically enough other standards appeared because of the need of more torque.

I don’t care about it, but I get the idea - if even one percent likes it enough to buy a subscription, it’s a win for Microsoft. After all this is what Microsoft does - selling subscriptions.

Is this a question?

It’s on the Internet, it must be true

I placed the thing in a plate. It’s plated now.

But yeah, I get your point.

When does cooking stop counting as a basic day to day survival thing and start counting as a hobby?

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing

logarithms?

I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.

Have you seen how metal keycaps are priced?

Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.

I wrote “could easily cost 10 times more”, which doesn’t exclude an even higher price. $100-$150 for just the case (I couldn’t find the exact one) is what I’d expect.

While I’m not saying it’s perfect, I still think it’s aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.

Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.

Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.

You’re probably conditioned to expect useless red circles everywhere.
