Ive bought two
  • My 50 year old Kenwood mixer stays on the counter for one reason only and that's because it's too goddamn heavy to be lifting back and forth. Also I sometimes get inspired to bake just from seeing it on the counter, which is a nice plus.

    France votes to ban ‘forever chemicals,’ exempting frying pans
  • Yeah the durability is the greatest thing. I can use metal spatulas and scrape away. No need to baby it, it's literally a hunk of metal. I don't even give a shit how the seasoning looks anymore, if food doesn't stick badly it's all good.

  • Imo pans just take too much space in the dishwasher so I'll just wash them immediately after use. Takes like 30 seconds because the pan still being hot helps immensely. After drying I like to oil them, just because I like how they look oiled, literally no other reason.

  • I prefer to have all 3: stainless, cast iron and carbon steel. Personally I have a carbon steel wok that does double duty as a frying pan.

    Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads
  • And those have taken over all the damn tv remotes. I designed and 3D printed a replacement faceplate for my Samsung tv's remote that hides them, out of retaliation (they were in a spot where I accidentally hit the netflix button when trying to pause what I was watching, which was annoying af).

    Linux share on Steam bounces back to nearly 2% for March 2024
  • I really don't understand why anyone feels the need to hate on a desktop environment. It's not like on windows or mac where it is what it is and you're stuck with it. If you don't like it, just shut up and switch to something else (unless you like your de overall but have some improvements in mind of course, no reason to shut up for that).

    Phil Spencer blames capitalism for games industry woes: 'I don't get [the] luxury of not having to run a profitable growing business'
  • Bullshit. That 30% cut pays for all the features that make steam a better store than any other store. Those features are all free for the gamers, because they are essentially paid by the devs in that cut.

    If that cut wasn't worth it, I don't think Microsoft, ea and others would have come back to steam after trying to make their own stores (and failing).

    How can it be a monopoly when I can just download another store with a click of a button? Which I have also done, and even bought games from those said other stores, but the experience was just completely miserable compared to steam, up to the point I've considered rebuying those games on Steam.

    Classic Microsoft
  • Yeah the infuriating part is not the mere existence of bedrock, but the fact that they purposefully made it suck. It could have been much better than the java version if they did it right.

  • Agree. I just wish bedrock was a straight port from the java version instead of being borderline ruined, the only difference should have been better performance from not using java and it being rebuilt from ground up.

    It does feel like that.
  • Eh, I'm quite a big fan of linux, but having Linux mentioned under almost literally every post here feels tiring 😅. Yes I use linux but no I don't want to constantly talk and think about my choice of operating system.

    Feels like switching to Linux solves all your life problems according to people here.

    My gf doesn't like me anymore. Have you tried switching to Linux?

    My bathroom door squeaks when opened. Have you tried switching to Linux?

    I have bad diarrhea. Have you tried switching to Linux?

    It's the same fake argument every time they try to take away your rights
  • I have been screwed a time or two, but honestly, most of the time I've had a pretty good experience dealing with Chinese sellers. Of course that's partly because I choose who I buy from carefully, as yeah there are a lot of scanners out there. I've also been scammed by local people and I think it's important to not immediately judge people based on where they are from.

    I'm pretty sure the reason there are so many scammers in china, is because of the amount of poor and desperate people there, and the fact that the situation has been like that for so long, is the reason it seems to have now been ingrained in their culture. There's a huge amount of scammers in other poor countries like india as well.

    Edit: typos

    Introducing Steam Families
  • Yes there is. You can just make another account for yourself and add it to the family, then use it to cheat. That's the reason why they have to ban both.
