"What do you have to hide, anyway?" should be arriving any minute now.

Yes, tracking via mobile phones is also a problem. I'm at a loss as to why you think continuously pointing this out somehow helps your argument.

We reached "nightmarish level" years ago.

Ah, the old "but other spyware apparatus is already tracking you ha-ha I am so smart" excuse.

Myself I've had a smartphone for well over a decade, and my next phone will not be one. I'm done being a drone. 24/7 tracking and surveillance - all for the benefit of... not having to turn a knob on a thermostat.

I don't allow any of this spyware trash in my home.

Curious as to what "error" the operators are committing.

Only seen burn in on CRTs that were arcade monitors displaying the same loop for 24 hours a day for decades. LCD? Never. Our brief experience with OLED phone displays was just like you said, burn in in less than a year.

If it works for you and you're happy, good. I'm just amused how these discussions always start with "OLED burn-in isn't a thing" and gradually evolve into a multi-page document on steps to take to avoid OLED burn-in.

And I use my PC all day with a stationary taskbar and icons on the screen. Thank you for confirming that a PC monitor is in fact not a good use case for an OLED.

No, thank you.

Completely stupid and the deal-breaker that made me install Windows 10 on my new PCs that came with 11. It's a "feature" designed by idiots who think PCs are nothing more than a way of bootstrapping Facebook.

Probably from thousands of volts of static electricity, not the 1.5V from a AA.

This site is still up with no mention of Stadia being shut down: https://stadia.google.com/

I definitely noticed a pattern.

No thank you.

There used to be a saying: "I don't agree with what you're saying, but I will defend your right to say it." Now it's: "I don't agree with what you're saying, so I will do everything in my power to have you silenced, deplatformed, shamed, your livelihood taken from you, and your life ruined."

More like Microsoft buying Nokia.

The kind of thing these much-loved Twitter advertisers are okay with.

Precisely my experience with desktop Linux about once a year.

Sounds like a good chunk of the trash he took out have been Ministry-of-Truth types whose job was determining what "misinformation" is. Seems he's off to a good start.

Oh how horrible! Oh wait, this is standard practice when someone's employment ends.

Boy SE sure knows how to read the room.

I like to think they would laugh MS out of the room like Nintendo did.

The old "you can't yell fire in a crowded theater therefore you have no rights" argument. Every single time.

YouTube nobody going after those drama views.

No, we aren't - and Im well familiar with this desperate tactic of trying to spin anonymous online discussion forums as "social media".

I'm seeing more and more people getting them recently. Seems to be the smart choice. I don't use social media and don't need any stupid apps.
