You can make it automatically open the app when unlocked. This is what alot of companies seem to do but they use crappier more expensive tablets

Having a Tablet just to check security cameras is always a convenience lol

I mean shit
I got an ipad mini and I barely use it other than drawing

[rose hull]

we used to buy cheaper monitors

[rose hull]

youtube ?

[full fossil]

Laptop

Or tv
Or anything else tbh

With a tablet I can also manage the alarms aswell and it's also more convenient to check from the couch

[summer folio]

Just repaint the ceiling, smudge gone!

[full fossil]

Same logic goes for demolition

[summer folio]

Eww, what if the yellow fat stains & all the dead bugs fall down on me?

[winged basin]

I'll try the reverse mop and when that fails time to repaint it..

[full fossil]

Just demolish the house, smudge gone!

Last thing I'm going to bring up before I got to bed. I just found out you can't split screen apps on iPhone like you can on Galaxy phones and iPad.... And that might be an automatic deal breaker for me getting an iPhone again.

what is that bullcrap?

[summer folio]

But Cocomelon have more than 10x times as many subscribers than LTT, if the numbers don't lie; Well that means Cocomelon is the best channel?

[summer folio]

I didn't even knew you could alt+tab

also there is no standardized back button

you gotta guess where the app developers put the back button for every single app, if there even is one

[chrome vector]

You can on iPhone or can't?

And I know... My last iPhone was an iPhone 4, getting an iPhone without a home button, physical or not, scares me

[summer folio]

I meant back button

[chrome vector]

Not having anything standardized is, so, so damn stupid

[chrome vector]

home button essentially worked as a back button before, but I know what you mean. But I mean the alt+tab, what do you mean by that? I know what it does on PC, but I don't get what you're saying

I still think iPhones look much worse without a home button

Old iPhone design was iconic

[full fossil]

It looks 100x better without a giant home button

[summer folio]

You know the square button

which shows all the apps you are using rn/haven't closed yet

[timid meadow]

I kinda like that haptic home button thing that was on the 7. Isnt a button but feels like one through vibration

[chrome vector]

even if they don't have a physical button they could have a digital one like samsung

[summer folio]

I think all phones is just screen now

[chrome vector]

can you not do that on iPhone?

[summer folio]

next up; No volume buttons
volume buttons is also on the screen/touch

[chrome vector]

how do you close taps if there's no tab group thing?

or can you not have them on in the background?

[timid meadow]

Same way modern android does it with guestures afaik

[summer folio]

Iphones copycated most android functions by now, so bet you could?

[unkempt widget]

bro the home button is the best thing ever

[manic torrent]

You literally don't need to close tabs on mobile

[summer folio]

except any bluetooth codec better than aac

LDAC on iPhone? Dream on.

[summer folio]

Sure you do

[chrome vector]

iPhone use to be the leader in smartphone innovation, both hardware and software. Now they lag behind in almost everything.

Most "innovation" are just taking things away, like headphone jacks

[summer folio]

You leave all your tabs open in web browser also?

[manic torrent]

They work fundamentally entirely differently.

[summer folio]

"Maybe I'll need that someday, I want to read it later"

[chrome vector]

Modern Apple: Copies what others are doing a few years down the line, then renames it and pretend like they created it.

Modern Samsung: Laughs at Apple for backwards steps like removing headphone jacks, then does it themselves a few years later

I need to look into Sony phones. Never used or seen one, want to give one a look over. Heard they make great TV's, would like to see their phones.

[neon mesa]

LGs are the only one with unique shit

[chrome vector]

Heard their TVs are generally better than Samsung, Samsung has a lot bullshit with their TV

[chrome vector]

Phones or TVs?

[neon mesa]

their phones

well even TVs they got crazy shit
the see through OLED and the rollable TV

[chrome vector]

I'll have to look into LG phones, don't know anything about those either.

I'm going to start researching and paying attention to Sony and LGs phones. Never meant to get three Samsung phones in a row.

[summer folio]

didnt even know LG still made phones, you sure its not a Chinese copy cat? all the LG phones on gsmarena looks awful

[neon mesa]

didn't say LG still make phones

[manic torrent]

They don't, they shut down their phone division

[chrome vector]

I know the last Nokia phones weren't made by them, same with some other companies

[summer folio]

Sony has had their over-the-top 4K OLED phone screens for many years now, battery hog

[chrome vector]

Okay, that explains why I havent heard of them

[summer folio]

https://m.gsmarena.com/lg-phones-20.php

Recently?

[neon mesa]

probably outdated, the home screen literally got the long dead LG wing

man that LG wing would have been helpful for mini RDP client

[summer folio]

Oh, they just stopped making phones, roger

[neon mesa]

though now there are samsung folds

but LG wing didn't cost your both your kidneys

LG already did that, with physical keys even, had the LG WineSmart H410

USA should unban Honor phones

[neon mesa]

samsung note line is dead though

[summer folio]

cough S22-S23 Ultra

[timid meadow]

I know. Stylo is was note without samsung trying to force note to be good. Basic features, with a dumb stylus built into the phone

[neon mesa]

though i am considering a used Note 10 to replace my aging S8+

[summer folio]

S22 Ultra
& S23 Ultra
is literally Note line but renamed

[chrome vector]

Yeah I love this S22 Ultra. It's literally just a note. Wish I would have had the chance to get an original note, but like I said, they started exploding that year

[summer folio]

Built in S-Pen

[neon mesa]

my S8+ is still perfectly capable but my clumsiness destroyed it physically

[summer folio]

Nicer

[neon mesa]

still works, but annoying as you need a long thumbnail to use the power button, two holes on the edge screen with half circle dead pixel around it

the back looks like it has been shot by machine guns

[summer folio]

S22 Ultra was the first Smartphone with AMD Ray Tracing Graphics(Europe Models Only)

[neon mesa]

AMD and Ray Tracing and on Mobile

[chrome vector]

Finally Europe gets something over the US in electronics lmao

[neon mesa]

Release a playable demo,

it's because those aaa studios restrict developer's creativity

...... it's UE5 that is allowing that, not the devs

[neon mesa]

what's stopping big devs from using UE5

[manic torrent]

linear time

[past egret]

and experience

[neon mesa]

and it also shows that devs are missing the key thing on making realistic graphics
STOP OVER DOING IT

[past egret]

missing what exactly

[neon mesa]

not over doing it

[manic torrent]

also most games are absolutely NOT going for realistic graphics.

[summer folio]

So China enables such good graphics?
Can't believe US made game engines soo bad

[past egret]

what games are over doing it?

[unkempt widget]

it's always china

[neon mesa]

basically any modern games you see over done the lighting
too cinematic to the point it's not realistic

[summer folio]

To be fair, china owns the world/everything

[past egret]

i cant think of any games that over done lighting

[manic torrent]

that is an artistic and preferential decision

[past egret]

its usually a style thing

[unkempt widget]

[summer folio]

[neon mesa]

that's what 1.4b of cheap workforce got you

and also being an evil fascist government

[unkempt widget]

just because a chinese company owns a share in another company, doesn't mean china owns that company

[summer folio]

just like how all indie devs make their 3D games really, really dark, so you can't see how bad everythings looks.

[neon mesa]

sure but that doesn't matter as the company wants to please shareholders anyway lmao

[manic torrent]

haha, it is neither evil, nor fascist.

[neon mesa]

you don't need to own a company to "own" a company

[unkempt widget]

it definitely is evil though

[manic torrent]

not comparatively

[unkempt widget]

fascist? that's debatable, but i can see it

[manic torrent]

authoritarian? yeah. fascist? no

just because other countries do it doesn't mean it's not wrong

yes, but 'evil', relative to other governments of the world? yeah nah.

these shit china definitely has

[manic torrent]

again, I didn't say that it is nice and happy

[neon mesa]

you're denying it's a fascist country

[manic torrent]

correct

[neon mesa]

when it fits almost all the criteria

[summer folio]

I don't think Sweden can be locked down,
our politician looked into the law & there was no support for a lockdown I think.

Also our state doctor said it's better to not wear masks, so noone did.

Is that even a question?

[manic torrent]

if you have to ask that, then you don't understand china or fascism

[unkempt widget]

fascism is more of a name than an accurate description of a nation

fascist is not a useful descriptor for chinese government. It's not entirely wrong, but it just doesn't work.

i would agree its nuanced

[native maple]

CCP deserves to be annihilated

also 'evil' isn't useful either - you could trivially call most governments evil.

They gave me lasagna, ice cream, a drink, and a salad.

[unkempt widget]

the communists at that point just seemed much more promising, they promised a country where people wouldn't be surpressed by the tyrannical and backwards roc, just to get smacked in the face with idiotic campaigns like the great leap forwards

dim sum isn't that british, that's all i know

I'm... curious how Chinese-branded communism is different from Soviet-branded communism

nah, it can't even be communist when it wants to anymore

[tired glade]

China switched to consume driven Economy in 2009

it's like saying "britain is a monarchy"

Atleast the British monarchy can dissolve our government in Canada.

They are just part of a big big family and don't mean they come from same factory

He fully switched to AMD,he said that few times here and there

I guess,all of them still on 7900xtx and there isn't much material to make more videos

[deep nova]

I guess that's a good sign lol

I'm about to switch from NVIDIA to AMD and just wanted to know if he had any issues

[hollow pulsar]

Must be working then. If it was broken, they'd probably have made a video by now.

It fully depends if you care enough about rt

But I'll just learn to live without it

[tired glade]

If you need it

And fsr is there too

[hollow pulsar]

Nowhere near what an NVIDIA card can pull off - especially since most models are trained on NVIDIA AI cards.

[tired glade]

It fast enough to not noticed big difference

[deep nova]

Yeah I'm the kind of person who first thing I do is turn settings from ultra to high and disable RT xD

[hollow pulsar]

I've seen many models straight up incompatible with AMD cards as they require CUDA cores.

[gilded stratus]

so my friend got his main disabled because discord thought he was using a fake email and he had to make a new account and now he cant join the server, anything i can do?

3060 12GB on CUDA beats RX 6800 on DirectML by 2x 💀

[full fossil]

how many people use DirectML daily

[neon mesa]

well what is the point of the question?
no one uses DML daily as it's a niche

but it is the only windows equivalent of CUDA for AI Acceleration which is what i reply to

there is ROCm but right now it's linux only and extremely finnicky. and still slower than CUDA

and CUDA is only one of many dependencies used in AI

cuDNN and cuFFT is also used. something AMD does not have an answer to

[hearty spear]

Get your own Banana for Scale at LTTStore!
https://www.lttstore.com/products/banana-for-scale

there is really no excuses when a last gen X60 beats a card two tiers above it

not just beat.... obliterate it.. faster by over double is crazy

[gilded stratus]

your giving me the urge to drop ten bucks on a banana

[hearty spear]

it's an amusing trinket. But real talk? The desk pads are one of the best buys on the store, since they have a ton of sizes, all for one price. (And a reasonable price at that.)

What is this "Medical"?

is it like the shoe video?

[summer folio]

LTT hired so many people,
so now they have to mass-produce garbage to pay the secret wages, that's crazy!

[gilded stratus]

tis sad

[neon mesa]

the point is even an X60 card beats it in basically every AI workload....
it's inexcusable.
what is even your argument

[hearty spear]

one of the benchmarks for "productivity"

[neon mesa]

that AMD isn't shit at AI?

when even X60 card beats it at basically every AI workload

[hearty spear]

yup, it was an ad. Which is what sponsored videos are.
It wasn't even an entertaining one.

[hollow pulsar]

I've never even seen that as a benchmark. It's such a vague term, they may as well just use "workplace".

[full fossil]

Considering anthony has stated that he can't afford a midrange card in many videos I'm assuming the wages aren't any good

[summer folio]

so like the shoes video?

[hearty spear]

The shoes video was sponsored, but also HILARIOUS

[summer folio]

not to mention secret

[full fossil]

Some sponserd vids are ok but I'd much rather seen him dive into the technical details rather than overextending a brief overview

[neon mesa]

i believe anthony is saying it figuratively. not literally

[full fossil]

is a 4070 "mid range"? Because then it makes sense

[hearty spear]

Anthony also seems to enjoy spending more on his video game hobby than desktop PC gaming

[tired glade]

4070 ti is mid range

[hollow pulsar]

Medical = 1 program only, database interface.
OR
Medical = High-density 3D protein folding.
Both are medical. One could be done on an rPi, the other, a distributed network of millions of ad-hoc computers. I have a real problem with "medical" benchmarking. lol.

[full fossil]

wtf is this? NUANCE in muh public chat???

[near nymph]

Isn't Anthony one of the higher ups at LTT?

[full fossil]

Still a writer at the end of the day

[hollow pulsar]

I think he's technically a writer. Edit. Yup. He's a writer: https://linusmediagroup.com/

[indigo coral]

I disagree.. Tech is Tech...

If the video does not pertain to you then don't watch it.. its as simple as that.. But lawn mower is tech... So i found it pretty awesome and cool to hear about.. Will I buy one, Probably not..

[full fossil]

Also, "afford" doesn't necessarily mean "able to buy"
He has other priorities and dropping $600 on a gpu isn't in the priorities

[full fossil]

He didn't mention the 3k price once lol

[full fossil]

extremally valid point, especially given there are self push electric mowers for $499

BUT, it is tech
and it was cool to see

[indigo coral]

Also remember Canadians are having a really hard time living right now.. Cost of living has increased soo much that Yea.. a new GPU may not be a priority.. There based out of BC which is by far one of the most expensive cities to live in..

[neon mesa]

the main definition of afford is ability to buy
however a secondary definition state
have (a resource such as money or time) available or to spare
so yeah you're probably right
and anthony is probably not broke

[tired glade]

What's 4090ti?

[full fossil]

It's not as bad here, but yeah we're feeling it too

[full fossil]

Ha, compared to us brits, Canadians are living in luxery. Rent here is higher than the median wage

[indigo coral]

You have google.. Good job finding the price.. Clearly you were interested enough to look it up.. Which means the sponsor got the views..

[neon mesa]

views means jackshit if the CTR is low

[full fossil]

Yeah, like I CAN buy a racing cockpit and 4090s and 7800X3D, but that would be dumb as hell for me personally

[indigo coral]

I would like to know what the average rent for you all are.. I can compare since i am Canadian

[tired glade]

I hope you have 4k monitor or 4090 at 1440p is overkill

[indigo coral]

So your actually on par or lower then some Rent in Canada.. I live about 1.5 hours outside of Toronto.. And we pay about 4K for our 2 bedroom. Which would be around the same as you..

Which by the way is about 60Miles (96 KM)

Move into Greater Toronto Area.. to rent a bedroom (not the entire apartment) is between 2k-3k and thats shared with others..

[full fossil]

It's a ground floor apartment not house

AVG rent in the usa is $1700 for 900sq feet, median income per household is $70k ish before taxes

[neon mesa]

Polaris was miner's favorite card

[full fossil]

taxes will bump that down to $55k or so

[indigo coral]

Yes i understand.. Thats the same as i currently have.. The further you get from a Major City like Toronto, The cheaper it gets.. Though its starting to creep further away as people are willing to Pay less and drive 2-3 hours to work everyday which is ridiculous

miners have bought soooo many of them that when crypto crashed RX 580 8GBs drop all the way to below 90 bucks it's crazy

singlehandedly killed 1650 and 1650 supers

Just how we do it here

Median 5,800 a month before taxes

4500 ish

But that’s MEDIAN
Tens of millions of americans are doing this making half that or less

[tired glade]

1700 to 4500, big chunk of income

Isn't USA population about 350million?

[full fossil]

Yea

There are also 5.3 million millionaires

[tired glade]

Oh,not that high of percentage

[full fossil]

And remember that 70k is per household not individual

IF someone doesnt have the money to just outright buy a vehicle they finance it.. Which makes sense.. Cant buy a house if you dont work.. Cant get to work (in some cases) if you dont have a vehicle..

Decentralized media platforms suck ass.
That’s why revolt and a few other still use client-host

[hollow pasture]

Not looking for a replacement.

[gilded quest]

even the people who posted their cats aren't really on twitter anymore 😭

[winged yarrow]

instead of cat pics it's cat themed accounts posting alt-right content

[gilded quest]

I think it's important for stuff like mastodon to exist; but mastodon just ain't it as a twitter replacement

[winged yarrow]

the algorithm was hacked and we didn't notice

[gilded quest]

i didn't notice because I only use chronological feed, not algorithmic lol

[winged yarrow]

fair lol

I think mastodon and other decentralized platforms are good PoCs, but something will inevitably come that will be a lot better at it

Imagine one based on crypto lol where every tweet is an NFT

[hollow pasture]

Things I like about mastodon: not a total cesspool and you can block instances that are cesspools; I’ve been on for about a month and I haven’t seen a main character of the day

[echo canopy]

That’s easily vulnerable to a 51% attack

[winged yarrow]

I haven't seen any 51% attacks on the current defi space

[hollow pasture]

It also isn’t constantly trying to eat itself alive.

[manic sequoia]

@pulsar currentade

[winged yarrow]

cesspools are good for you though, otherwise you end up in an echo chamber, theoretically

Why do you think I hopped into public chat, I'm here to grow as a person ❤️

[hollow pasture]

I’m ok with disagreeing with people. That’s not what I’m calling a cesspool. Being vicious for no reason and just being a jerk is what I’m not a fan of.

[full fossil]

nvm i beat the level

[echo canopy]

Double edge sword. It’s a fucking nightmare on matrix

[winged yarrow]

That's fair. Combative, ignorant, disrespectful people aren't ones you can grow from besides having the willpower/discipline to successfully ignore.

[hollow pasture]

I’m only in Mozilla’s matrix because they shut down the irc which is kind of what got me into tech.

[winged yarrow]

Shame what happened to IRC

[hollow pasture]

If I hadn’t been in that irc I wouldn’t have ended up here.

That was the first time I felt like I lost something when an internet thing died.

[gilded quest]

i got discord before learning what IRC even was

[hearty spear]

oh, Internet Relay Chat.

discord's grumpy great-grandfather

[full fossil]

Life was better with AOL

[hearty spear]

bite your fucking tongue

[full fossil]

Life was better when <insert time when life was not better>

[hollow pasture]

AOL Is just before my time.

[tardy terrace]

its like the people who fawn over the 60's-70's

[winged yarrow]

Did anybody ever use SDF?

sdf.org, a free unix shell

[full fossil]

60s-70s were cool if you were....a very specific group of people

[winged yarrow]

with their own custom chat software lol

[hollow pasture]

I do like the freedom from other platforms for custom clients and such.

[winged yarrow]

Yeah that's one thing I wish discord allowed

It's the little things you know? Like the organization/sizing of multiple screen shares

or the ability to use it from the console

I can use discord from the console with IRC plugins though

and the organization/sizing of the screen shares can be fixed by getting into the devtools and changing the html but it's only for that session

[hollow pasture]

I wish they’d be more clear on what’s allowed and what isn’t to be honest. Ex: the windows phone client is but it’s unsupported.

[winged yarrow]

windows phones still exist?

[gilded quest]

i wish

[hollow pasture]

Think they’re EOL

[full fossil]

Shame

[winged yarrow]

last release 7 years ago

[tardy terrace]

Winphones died long ago, i think they're talking about the app

[full fossil]

I was never a fan
But I like competition

[hollow pasture]

Windows phone could’ve been good.

[winged yarrow]

I need another genius level schizophrenic to port TempleOS to phones

[tardy terrace]

live tile design from desktop was not a good idea

[full fossil]

Live tile design wasn't a good idea on anything

[gilded quest]

windows phone felt a lot smoother on lower end hardware than contemporary android devices

[hollow pasture]

Like if they’d just had the continuity features iPhones have with Macs and had been released sooner they could’ve ruled the market.

[winged yarrow]

Live tiles work great in small settings, it's like (what people say about) communism

[full fossil]

Windows phone's issue was apps
They didn't have anything on that app store at launch

Those were the "There's an app for that" marketing days

[gilded quest]

they announced a tool to convert ios and android apps to UWP apps; but idk if anything ever came from it

[full fossil]

it came out, just far too late

THAT tool should have launched a full year before the devices did

[tardy terrace]

story of my life

[gilded quest]

welp
at least it arrived

[hollow pasture]

It was kind of painful to use too.

[winged yarrow]

I think they'll have a resurgence, building off of their tablets (which are still popular enough to help build the app store)

[full fossil]

their tablets use x86

[gilded quest]

well

[full fossil]

most of them

[gilded quest]

almost all surfaces

[winged yarrow]

If they create a flagship phone, it might suffer in performance for converting x86 to ARM, but it might be negligible for the average user

[gilded quest]

supposedly the most recent arm units aren't a nightmare to use

[full fossil]

They have a flagship phone

[winged yarrow]

Is it the surface duo

[hollow pasture]

Eating sand was more pleasant than using the iOS to UWP tool

[tardy terrace]

Didn't windows release like, a full ARM-based windows pc devkit

[gilded quest]

the surface duo is more a PDA than a phone

its definitely a secondary/work device first

[hollow pasture]

You’d think by now Microsoft would be better at UX

[winged yarrow]

Technically all smartphones now are more PDAs than phones

[gilded quest]

you know what i mean tho

[winged yarrow]

No?

Yeah I do

[gilded quest]

I would love a duo

but not at $1400

and probably not as a main device; at least not yet

[full fossil]

Plus, android

[winged yarrow]

Aren't they also just using a windows themed android

Vaguely windows themed

[full fossil]

yeah

[winged yarrow]

I wonder how well the windows store would convert towards actual arm based phones if they picked the project up again

or if there's even a point for them to enter the space again on the software side

[half shadow]

Hear me out iPhones are better than any other phone right now

[gilded quest]

i think iphones are incredibly boring in design

[half shadow]

I just offended 80% of android users

[winged yarrow]

My Pixel 7 Pro's call screening feature disagrees (but that's one feature that iOS could easily replicate)

Or is that just a google fi thing

[gilded quest]

call screening & now playing

[gilded quest]

pixel thing

[winged yarrow]

cool

[graceful burrow]

Post the socks

[hollow pasture]

Kind of a reference to this I recall there being a windows for arm emulator at some point on the windows insider program that’s since been replaced with a virtual machine image.

[summer folio]

call screening?
Like showing what number is calling before you pick up?

[graceful burrow]

That's not call screening

[half shadow]

Prob screen casting to other user

[graceful burrow]

No

[summer folio]

so not call forwarding

[graceful burrow]

No

[hollow pasture]

Call screening is determining whether or not the phone should ring to begin with.

[summer folio]

soon they will tell us

[summer folio]

So vibration mode

[hollow pasture]

No, some carriers screen at the carrier level and if they determine it’s spam your phone never even gets a missed call.

[gilded quest]

Bet

[winged yarrow]

No if I get a call from somebody I don't know it'll automatically answer with the google voice and say "This user is using google's call screening service, please leave your message" basically and then transcribe what they say so you can read it before you answer. I use it to get people who normally like to have phone calls send me a text basically since I don't like to answer phones, and it automatically blocks out any spam/scam since instead of the phone ringing I just get a notification that says "Screening call..."

[half shadow]

But hear me out is Apple users get FaceTime

[full fossil]

thats so cool

[hollow pasture]

Andriod can pseudo use FaceTime now.

[tardy terrace]

carrier & phone-level spam protection should be bog-fucking-standard for anyone on their network.

[gilded quest]

Discord canary fucked up my reply to @graceful burrow

[graceful burrow]

Average discord L

[gilded quest]

fr

[summer folio]

So voice mail

[graceful burrow]

No

[gilded quest]

just sell your soul to a corporation

[hollow pasture]

Yeah I agree. My old carrier was an extremely budget provider so they had nothing. It’s nice to be on a carrier that has it now.

[tardy terrace]

My voicemail literally says "Hi if this is an emergency, please hang up & immediately dial again, otherwise please hang up & text me"

[gilded quest]

uh

[winged yarrow]

Yes but more like old fashioned voicemail where I can pick up mid message and answer them, or I can click a button to have the google assistant respond for me. Plus I get the entire recording transcribed so I can see it as a text and decide to respond

[gilded quest]

i think my voicemail is still me from the bus in 7th grade

[tardy terrace]

lmao thats kinda cute

[gilded quest]

i should probably change that if it is

[summer folio]

So, a recorded voice mail message saying "Please text me instead"?

[hollow pasture]

I think there’s also companies now you can pay to be an answering service for you, you forward your calls to them, they pickup everything and if it’s not spam they connect it to your phone.

[winged yarrow]

Yeah but dynamic to the context of the person calling

[gilded quest]

there's no way its still that
it has to be the automatic "[number] is not available right now..."

[winged yarrow]

Especially now that scams are using recordings of you to pretend to be you to manipulate your family into sending them bitcoin to get you out of jail or whatever. The amount of iPhone users still answering spam calls and allowing their voice to potentially be recorded is astounding

[gilded quest]

i don't mind phone calls at all
the problem is people only seem to call me when I'm taking a dump

[hollow pasture]

I have mine set as this. Especially with the new wave of scams where they can record your voice and then have a computer generate it.

[tardy terrace]

update, i will now execute my plan w/ cortana voice

[summer folio]

Hehe, I HATE calling to voice mail to listen to messages, way more anxiety inducing than answering phone calls from hidden caller id
Prefere to disable voice mail & set it to "send text message of what phone number called"

[gilded quest]

ugh

i hate dealing with voicemail

[winged yarrow]

A large number of people like to answer spam calls to fuck with the spammers, but if those spammers have 2 minutes or so of your voice they could use tools like elevenlabs to recreate your voice and do way more damage

[full fossil]

It also tells them you’re a valid number that will answer calls

[gilded quest]

fucking verizon charges a premium for visual voicemail
fuck you verizon

[summer folio]

never heard of anyone doing video calls in my life time

The serivce provider "3" did commercial for it back in the 2002 tho

[winged yarrow]

The way the pixels are doing it now is definitely the future of voicemails/receiving calls, and is a lot smarter at identifying and filtering unwanted calls

[gilded quest]

visual voicemail is turning the audio log into a text based UI

[summer folio]

Oh, thought they could leave a video message

[gilded quest]

no, but yes the naming is a little odd

i think my samsung phone just bypassed verizon or something and had VVM as its own app

[full fossil]

iOS has its own too

[summer folio]

Maybe face timing is a common "iphone"/american thing to do?

[winged yarrow]

Heck I don't even want to be on the phone, much less in a video call

[gilded quest]

there is nothing i hate more than people face timing in the grocery store

without headphones too 🙄

[winged yarrow]

Without headphones + doing anything = trash etiquette

[summer folio]

& they are naked on the other side of the one?
On the toilet? 🚽

[summer folio]

asking you to get more paper, cuz their out?

[gilded quest]

no
the other side usually has the sounds of screaming children

I would rather hear toilet noises than children

[tardy terrace]

I loathe the people that come to my register on the phone in an active discussion swearing up a storm. Every time it happens I want to charge them for 10x w/e they're getting

[summer folio]

Haha, True True! This is why I never call my brothers anymore. Get wrecked.

[full fossil]

nice socks

[winged yarrow]

The sounds of screaming children and both sides are on speaker so there's a cancellation/feedback effect

[summer folio]

Kinda rude not saying "Hi!" back to the cashier saying hi to you

[winged yarrow]

If you put a sign up then you might actually be able to do it

[full fossil]

i get very anxious when im talking to people so i just dont

[gilded quest]

i didn't care if the person checking out talked to me
but i didn't want to hear the intimate details of their loudspeaker Facetime conversation

[tardy terrace]

I've contemplated putting one up that says "$5 extra charge if you vent your day to the cashier. All profits go to the affected"

[summer folio]

People swear in the open/public?

[full fossil]

there is at least 5 people that may think that im mute

[tardy terrace]

fuck yeah they do

[summer folio]

Weird

[gilded quest]

i love swearing in front of children

someone has to teach them

[full fossil]

yes

[tardy terrace]

lmao

Uh oh, someone said a naughty and pinged me w/ it

[winged yarrow]

That's a good one, although occasionally some people aren't bad and break the monotony, so add in the fine print that charge is at the discretion of the affected.

[gilded quest]

i hate small talk
which meant i was the fastest cashier in the store lmao

[full fossil]

man 5 dollars here for tipping is very fucking expensive

[tardy terrace]

There are about a dozen regulars I wouldn't apply this ruling though.

Although I should add an addendum "If you're actively tweaking it's $20 if you start rambling"

[summer folio]

But isn't many swear words, like intimate body parts?
I would be afraid to sound like perverted creep
But each to their own! Go wreak havoc on that playground!!1

[winged yarrow]

That's a good one too. If we come up with more you could make it like the willy wonka contract on the wall and then sell it on etsy for $75 a pop

[gilded quest]

naw i'm thinking the general "shit hell crap bitch fuck"

[hearty spear]

the majority of curse words are not

[summer folio]

the 2 last one kinda naughty no?

[winged yarrow]

You can come up with some great D&D characters by being ranted to over somebody else's life

[gilded quest]

uhhhh
not really here

[summer folio]

as long as the swear words are suitable to the times the D&D is played at

[winged yarrow]

Almost all swear words are suitable to D&D. Or, the classics at least

[summer folio]

Maybe they will think you will pay them 20$ for it

[tardy terrace]

and thats where i get 'em

[winged yarrow]

By the classics I'm talking about the George Carlin collection

[full fossil]

i like how furr* is censord and this is not

[summer folio]

it was clearly a quote from someone he cited.

[gilded quest]

technically this is filter evasion and against server rules

[tardy terrace]

god damn you warship

[summer folio]

🚢

[gilded quest]

despacito

[full fossil]

like look at this

[gilded quest]

they unfiltered the D word
nice

[tardy terrace]

you dick

[summer folio]

Deranged?

[gilded quest]

despacito used to be filtered

[tardy terrace]

LOL really?

[gilded quest]

as in "alexa play despacito" memes

[summer folio]

This is sad

[full fossil]

bruh also used to be filterd

[tardy terrace]

ah yes in the height of it's relevancy

[full fossil]

There are some filtered words I genuinely do not fucking understand

[summer folio]

So sad

This is so very sad

[full fossil]

same

[gilded quest]

the good old days

[finite cloud]

Finally. Now I can say dingus

[tardy terrace]

bruh/bro should be censored. it's used way too much and it makes me think that half the people on here are cryptodorks

[gilded stratus]

where can i make a ticket or something like that?

[finite cloud]

Fun fact, it used to be

[tardy terrace]

bring it back

[gilded quest]

you dingus

[finite cloud]

Hell nah bruh

[summer folio]

Say. My. Name. @scarlet trail

[full fossil]

astrid

[summer folio]

Mein Bröther!

imagine warship censoring every message of dingus' because of their name

Oh man, that'd suck, but it'd also be insanely humorous

[full fossil]

It censors m3medog

wait really @full fossil

Am I gonna get in trouble for filter evasion for that?

[full fossil]

Yes
I cannot even begin to understand why
