I painted my NAS red and you won’t believe the improvements
Okay this just unlocked a random memory. Back when I worked at a call center, on a slow day a lady called about a product that we no longer directly supported, and she went on a huge tangent about how everything she buys is bright red to remind her of the fires of hell. Bright red purse, bright red clothing, bright red phone, bright red computer, etc. she also told me quite a bit about a children’s book series she wrote about a Christian dog
every time i’ve tried to decypher something from the XDA forums i feel like i’m looking into a different dimension, i’m guessing it’s because most of the people there are non-western and thus it’s quite literally true (india has a ton of native english speakers after all, whose version of english is quite different), but boy does it hurt my brain.
Same thing with telegram, the way people write and behave makes me uneasy
Not borderline, they’re literally a clickbait farm now. There’s an almost daily release of the exact same articles rehashed (e.g. “these are the main Docker containers I run on every server” title changed up a little and it’s literally always the same 4-5 containers).
XDA was not always this sensationalist. With that said, I always welcome performance improvements.
XDA will write articles these days like:
Orks approve

My old ass remembers when XDA was a place where you learned how to put Android on your windows phone
That was the XDA forums, I never found their site very usefuly, but maybe that’s just me.
Oh I know, but for a long time that was the only reason to visit the site.

That too, and I’d hazard a guess the people posting on XDA have strong imbalance of social/communication skills compared to their technical expertise.
Yeah the forums are a treasure for old phone hacking
seriously. their stuff now is borderline clickbait! so. many. listicles.
