Exactly, the average person using installing browser add-ons. They want a lightweight, simple browser from a familiar brand that just works. Adblocking alone isn’t enough to convince Average Joe to switch, when they don’t even know that adblockers exist.

For me it was a sheep’s eyeball when I was in 4th grade. This was in 1998.

To this day I still don’t understand why the Spice Girls just randomly decided one day to add a sixth member, years after their retirement…

I was 9-years-old when they had their big hit and even then I thought that tidbit was fucked up.

Also, “if you want to be my lover, you gotta get with my friends”? Really? What kind of freaky polygamist girl can’t date someone unless they fuck their friends first? I mean you do you, but damn!

Those were the cold war kids. This post screams Millennial.

Yeah “rideshare” a bit of a vestigal term leftover from the early days of Uber/Lyft, when the original idea was that it was a service for someone to hitch a ride along a route the driver was already taking. Basically app-driven hitchhiking. But instead they turned into the taxi service we all know these apps for nowadays, yet the term stuck around.

Yeah but how can you tell that you’re getting the right charger for your phone? No two chargers are the same; they have different wattage ratings and use different charging standards.

If you grab any old charger without knowing the model number, it’ll charge your phone, sure, but not necessarily at its maximum possible charging speed unless you get lucky or take extra time to examine and research each charger until you find the right one. And I don’t know about you, but I’d feel awkward about pulling out my phone to Google random chargers while digging through a lost and found box with the employee just standing there. I rather just spend the money on a compatible charger designed for my phone’s charging standard.

Oh I thought they meant “Brazil” as in the country. 'Cause even without your context, the comment still makes sense lol

Which LG model specifically? Because I’m a fan of LG OLEDs and I’ve never heard of this. It’s definitely not a thing in their C and G line of TVs.

April Fools was a week ago; why the hell is this post still on the front page?

Exactly. It’s going to take me 30 minutes to an hour to get it all out, regardless of whether or not I have reading material with me, so I rather have something to do than sit there bored.

Yes I’ve tried increasing my fiber intake. Doesn’t work. Told my doctor and he wasn’t interested.

Chevy Bolt

Cheap, reliable, not the ugliest EV in the world. They’re under appreciated right now so a fully loaded model with low miles goes for about $10K.

Dude you’re the one gaslighting. I was raised by people like you; I’m not falling for it.

Provide me just one example of such a TV, and I’ll shut up. But I already know you can’t.

There is no such thing as a TV that blocks you from using it without an internet connection. I promise you there is an option to continue without connecting, unless you specifically purchased an ad-supported display that requires you to go online so it can serve you ads (and so far every TV that tried to pull that crap has failed to sell).

You’re making up problems in your head again. Stop doing that.

Not on my experience. I simply set my LG OLED to HDMI 1 and leave it there. I don’t own a Blu Ray player nor any game consoles, so one input for my PC is all I need. TV boots up like a monitor and immediately displays the desktop. I never see the smart crap ever.

If you have to for your particular model, you can always get a service remote and put the TV into Hotel Mode, then from that menu, disable the smart features completely, and program the TV to default to your input of choice every time you boot it up. Every TV in existence has Hotel Mode, and thus is capable of doing this.

Just don’t connect it to the internet. Smart TV is now dumb TV. It really is that simple.

IDK I don’t use Apple products out of principle, but given Apple’s history of creating bullshit restrictions for no reason, I wouldn’t be surprised.
