I'm hopeful this leads to being able to play older Android games.

One of the things that sucks about Android is that as the versions march on they raise the API requirements (ostensibly for security), which leaves old games being unable to run on new devices.

I have a bunch of games purchased om Humble Bundles over the years that now just refuse to run on my Android devices as their API target level is too old.

What? A SATA drive (presuming you mean a sata SSD, not mechanical) will do absolutely nowhere near the load times of NVME. SATA3 peak bandwidth is 600MB/s, closest drives gets in real world read speeds is around 550MB/s.

NVME drives do at least ten times that for a midrange one. Up to thirty times for the latest gen top of the line.

"Runicphobia" is a non-existant phobia.

You have a persecution complex.

Bro have you seen the prices on large SSDs?

Nobody is buying a 256gb drive for games anymore. That's like 1 to 1.5 games nowadays. Instead 2-4TB drive is the most common purchase for a 'games drive'. AI has roughly doubled the cost in two years for such drives - even higher for premium quality drives.

I'm not gonna poor-shame people who still play on spinning disk HDDs. AI hype continues to make gaming more expensive by the day.

I'm 95% sure this is parody because if it was real there's no way this person's family would ask them to host Thanksgiving. And nobody blocks 443 on a guest wifi.. that'd block everything they'd even need the guest wifi for.

"Pretty sure it's a type of bigotry I just invented to suit me".

People are downvoting because they can't read it and this is an English language forum. They'd do the same to commenters posting everything in latin - it's not helpful to post like this in this community, which is why repeat offenders become downvote magnets (or just blocked).

Nah you can turn the phone off once the video has started. I only know this because my kids have regularly failed to charge the 'phone that we only use for Chromecast to the tv' and it sometimes dies while they're watching something. Keeps playing until the end.

You need the phone for any controls issued to the Chromecast like volume, subs, pause, seek, etc.. But you don't strictly need it once the video has started playing, presuming you're not using any control commands.

I live in Australia and I wear 100% cotton very regularly, including summer. It was 39° today and I've been wearing a cotton shirt all day.

It certainly does not feel sweaty all the time.

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

some people are allergic to cotton, because of lanolin produced by sheep that is aprt of the wool, people are allergic to it.

Uh.. Cotton is not wool.

No, because they are not hunting bird and small animal species to extinction.

They're also part of the native ecosystem so anything they do kill is generally for subsitence, and not impactful to the ecosystem they've existed with for thousands of years.

Barn cats just kill for fun.

Yeah, fuck the local wildlife if it means you don't have to deal with the hair of your pet being on your couch.

Hi all.

First, thanks for reading. I'm not exactly sure if this is the correct location to raise a concern about a ban/deletion, but I guess it's as good as any.

So:

  1. I dont know which mod it was. Log is redacted?
  2. post deleted & banned from the News@Lemmy.world community
  3. screenshot of modlog attached
  4. screenshot of comment attached.
  5. It was an appreciated post with 106 upvotes 26 downvotes at deletion and several positive responses yesterday. When I came back today (I'm in Australia so timezones..) the comment was deleted and I was banned - and several negative comments have appeared which I would have liked to respond to.

Original post: a news article about Proton Mail.

My post: Essentially I took the time to read the article and included the quotes of what was written by the CEO that was being discussed in the article - as many in the comments had surprised me by jumping straight to him being a literal Nazi. As not a single other commenter had included the quotes to discuss the source, I thought that would be a valuable contribution. I also gave my opinions which you can see in the comment on the modlog, the formatting is messed up so I included a screenshot of the (recreated) comment. https://lemmy.world/modlog/1347

What I didn't notice was that the article writer had omitted the first part of the Twitter post from the CEO in her quotation of him - so I quoted her, and in doing so missed the context that the CEO had actually started "Great pick by @realDonaldTrump" at the start - which does of course change the context of his Twitter post to praise. This was clarified for me in the angry responses. I would have edited my comment and owned my mistake, however stood by the rest of the comment regarding Proton's official follow-up.

So, is that deletion and ban fair?

Update 10 hours later: contacted a mod directly to see if i can find out more about the ban or perhaps get it remedied.

Update 48 hours later: contacted the entire mod team, and got back feedback from several of them - all helpful. My post has now been undeleted, and my account unbanned from the News community 👍
