Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.
I have Windows so I’m OK with Ntfs.
About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32’s 4-GB cap. 1080p movies that were 4+ GB were getting more widespread then. I’m using Ntfs till now.
I’m awaiting the day a firm makes a practical quantum computer. I’ll be stoked on that day. Idk how folks will write programs for it or if the idea of “program” will apply to it at all. Will it make things faster? Like compiling code or frames per second in gaming?
👍 article. Firebricks may accelerate our transition to sustainable energy.
Was the tablet’s touchscreen as responsive as iPad’s? What was the operating system? If Windows, I can see how it failed. Previous versions of Windows were mouse-and-keyboard-first. I think Windows 8 was the 1st to truly consider touch and iPados was still better.
Microsoft had an Arm Surface device a few years ago. It had a 💩 chip.
I viewed “let’s play” series of Alan Wake 1 and 2. Just wanna share my thoughts re AW2. There are spoilers below.
So much reading. Yes, you can skip a lot of those. Yes, the title is Alan Wake 2 and Wake is a writer. But a gamer who very much dislikes reading may be turned off or think “I may be missing much by skipping most of the reading, so I’ll drop this game.”
It seems Alice is alive. So she’s been living sans Alan for 13 years minimum. Extremely :(. I wanted a :) end for them. I can imagine an AW2 where the year is 2013 instead of 2023, and Alan was able to escape the “dark place” in 2013 and live with Alice happily. The writer (I dislike Sam Lake’s writing so I’m not saying Sam Lake) can figure out the plot gymnastics in between to make the game so interesting.
Scratch slew Jaakko Koskela so easyyy. So powerful. He could just slay Anderson, Casey, Cult of the tree and the Fbc at the start.
The Fbc’s light arrays placed far from each other outside the sheriff’s station were plot convenience.
Anderson aided Wake with writing the end despite Wake inserting Logan and David in the tale. Meh.
Sarah and Barry were sidelined. :(
Sam Lake most likely disliked a fairy-tale :) end for AW2 but don’t say that in horror, the hero must pay a price to save his pals (or something like that) like it’s a rule.
It’s time.com’s best 2023 game but it’s 👎 for me.
Frequently unresponsive or very unstable apps shouldn’t have been in the Play store in the 1st place.
Anyway, to the Play store’s credit, I downloaded many bank apps and I never got a fake bank app.
Been using Samsung messages for years, not Google messages, but I just wanna comment.
I’m OK with it. It’s been an ai race. It’s natural that Google is taking advantage of the millions of Android phones and of the fact that many are using Google messages and Gmail. Adding Gemini to Google messages is sensible to me. I just hope it won’t be annoying.
Gmail has been my main email but I didn’t see Gemini in it. Maybe in the future?
Found your comment via Lemmy search.
Hours ago I viewed Civil war. It was entertaining but not great.
Plemons’ scene was 👍. He’s 👍 at the remorseless killer role. In my mind I compared that scene to the cliched action scene in countless movies where there were so much killing. In that cliched scene, the deaths had little effect on me. Since the writer didn’t establish some kind of connection to the viewer? Maybe? While in Plemons’ scene, I didn’t want Jessie and Lee to die, so the 2 Asians’ deaths were effective for me. Also, Jessie, Lee, Joel and Tony didn’t know what to say to Plemons’ question. Does saying something matter? What’s the right answer? So Plemons will let us go. I guess that type of writing makes tension.
Jessie going to the line of fire at the end was lame.
These news articles support my idea that Google doesn’t care re privacy. I’ve been using a Samsung phone, which has Android. Android has permissions re cam, location, 🎙 and others, but I won’t be :o if Google can bypass all the privacy features if it wants my data.

We mustn’t enter any private info in a large language model (llm) in the 1st place. The conversations are probably used to train ai models.
There should be 2 disclaimers in any llm –
The llm’s responses aren’t always based on facts. It can say wrong info sometimes.
Users mustn’t enter any private info in the llm.
Yes, 👍 apps.
The issue with touchscreen kiosks is that some have short arms.
On another note, I get the benefits of computer-voice-operated drive-thrus. No need to use your phone. If your phone’s 🔋 is 3%, you can still buy food.
Props to the Celtics. I think their high field goal percent was 1 of the factors behind their brilliance. Sometimes they were cold for a period of time, but they remained poised. So they usually avoided an offensive collapse.
:( for Irving. He had a clutch image and it was replaced by a choker image.
We need the 2016-Nba-finals Irving.
Doncic was the only Mav playing good. The Mavs will lose games 3 and 4 if this will continue. I hope this was just a road thing. I hope the other Mavs will play good at home.
My Samsung a70 doesn’t get major software updates anymore. I’m OK with it. I’ll use this as long as possible.
1 of the 👍 points that were brought up was artificial gatekeeping. Many techies know it but I guess many non-techies don’t know it. Phone makers intentionally not putting the newest features on the old phones to boost the newest phones’ sales should be widely known. I wonder what the public opinion will be.
Irving should find ways to score. The other Mavs should aid Doncic offensively.
Sponsorblock’s been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.
