YouTube cracking on ad blockers.
  • Man y'all really expect high quality, extremely diverse, and robust video streaming platform for free?!

    YouTube gotta pay it's bills somehow. Why y'all ok with paying Netflix/prime/hulu or whatever but not YouTube?!

    YouTube don't owe nobody free services. Get over it.

    Kept in captive isolation for nearly 53 years, Lolita the orca dies amidst plans for release
  • Because both these species literally domesticated themselves.

    Dogs are Wolves that chose to live with humans, and cats are... Cats.

    Orcas are significantly more intelligent than either cats or dogs.

  • I just discovered that watch will track sleep data only if it's in sleep focus

    I do not understand this design decision. Why does it have to be in sleep focus to track sleep?!

    My cheap Huawei fitness hand could auto track sleep irrespective of whether my phone was in sleep focus mode.

  • GN dude literally just stated facts, with the evidence.

    And that too after an lmg video called them out by name. The original video literally had the guy saying that lmg was better than others like GN or hardware unboxed.

    They didn't have to do it. Especially when there are multiple points of data pointing to their glaring inaccuracies.

  • He kinda responded to it in a forum post. One paragraph about "improving processes and communication".

    The rest was him doubling down on everything.

    He literally said that they auctioned the billet block and didn't sell it. Like.. what?! Are we playing semantics here?

    And he again emphasised that they didn't want to "waste" the money to test the billet block properly, and he actually said that he didn't want anyone to buy the billet block. In these exact words.

  • That whole video, and the follow-up, were incredible. I used to trust LTT quite a bit, but after the video, I've just chunks of respect for LTT. Dunno if i can ever trust them.

    Edit:

    I work in the tech industry. I work for an A tier company that makes servers, storage and more. I cannot imagine fucking up a benchmark/performance characterisation chart THIS badly even for an internal presentation.

    I have spent hours double checking and re-running tests to ensure I'm getting the right numbers.

    And to see a channel as big as LTT goofing up numbers so badly, which have the potential to affect thousands of purchasing decisions, i can't even.

    We also work with vendors, who sometimes send hardware prototypes. And we can never be THIS unprofessional to them.

    What would you considered "Ethical Piracy"
  • Content that should've been easily purchased, but it's stuck behind a subscription model. Photoshop. Lightroom. I don't understand why these have subscriptions. I should be able to buy it like any other software.

    Vegans dont eat meat but they eat plants that were once livijg organism. Man you can’t win in this wold r
  • I never disregarded anything as a living being!!

    I never said plants were lifeless!!!

    That's what I've been emphasising so far over and over.

    There's a distinction between being alive and being sentient.

    All sentient beings are alive, but all alive beings aren't sentient.

    Plants show all the evidence of being alive, but so far we have no evidence of them being sentient.

    Disabled humans are humans all the same. So that's not a fair comparison. (At least in my mind it's very clear).

  • A pretty detailed discussion on the topic:

    https://www.wellbeingintlstudiesrepository.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1772&context=animsent

    All living beings are capable of responding to external stimuli, both active and reactive. They are capable of basic friend/foe recognition. They are capable of adapting. These are just basic aspects of literally being alive. Even an amoeba can do these things to some extent or the other.

    But does that put a turnip at the same level as a dog? It doesn't in my books.

    I'm not any high horse. The field is in it's very nascent stages. But the evidence so far isn't supporting the notion. We don't live in Pandora.

    This post is clearly trying to ruffle some feathers.

  • Would've appreciated some links to the recent studies referred here.

    And that's very basic level of communication. I'm not sure we can really compare it higher life forms.

    Fungi are an entirely different ballgame. They are way too different from both animal and plants.

  • Very obvious bait post.

    Plants are not sentient. Animals are.

    All living organisms show basic reaction to external stimuli. Plants follow that. That does not indicate sentience.

    Animals have significantly more intelligence than that. They form bonds, form relationships, mourn, and so on.

    No living being except probably photosynthesis driven plankton can live entirely without consuming anything alive.

    Desperate or just business as normal?
  • I used it for some time before, since it was just people asking questions and doubts and curiosities.

    But once this paid stupidity started, it was adios time.
