You know what's a really ADHD oppositional Defiant disorder thing? I was diagnosed when I was two and all of this rapid new diagnosis and people wanting to be diagnosed now is making me want to not be diagnosed anymore extremely badly. I can't help it. It's my gut impulse reaction to not want to be associated with this thing that everyone wants to be associated with. It's annoying. ( The it's annoying part is my reaction ( Meaning that I am annoyed that this is my reaction. ), not the fact that others are being diagnosed by the way. )

I'm glad a majority of people are actually getting help with this. Don't get me wrong. But it's just something I've noticed inside my head since this has been going on and becoming more and more of a thing over the past 5 years.

Edit: Sure love getting downvoted because I'm speaking about my own subjective experience in life as of recently. You think I don't know with 36 years of experience about my own mental facilities and I'm not growing every single day of my life learning more about myself. I know ADHD isn't a oppositional defiant disorder, but I know what I'm saying, okay?

I doubt they can reason let alone create wholly original works.

I'm unsure what you mean by, quote, just write, and quote, just read.

You know what's really funny? The best web browser that I've used on my M1 Mac Mini, with eight gigs of RAM And the smallest hard drive that they offered because it was the cheapest model, Microsoft Edge. Safari is neigh unusable now, and I refuse to touch anything that Mozilla makes because they are a horrible, stupid company these days. But I use Microsoft Edge on my Windows PC and I use Microsoft Edge on my Mac and I have zero issues. It's not memory hungry. It's perfect. The only thing I change is in the advanced configuration to disable the curved inner edges or rounded edges or whatever it's called.

I use this computer all day with the web browser open all day. I play media in it all day through the web browser and nothing ever really goes to swap like maybe 200 megabytes throughout a week. I could open up VS Code just fine Or Xcode just fine and do stuff in that at the same time.

While people are debating if eight gigs is bad or good or 16 gigs is bad or good, I'm just gonna sit here saving money because I don't need to buy a new device.

Disable seri and spotlight while you're at it too BTW. That helps a ton.

My dad uses the Google ones quite often. Summarization and then validation afterwards is what he usually does. For emails or other things like that.

navjack27 — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 04:43:07 +0000

As far as I understand, the correct way to use an immutable operating system is to run containers or virtual machines on it and don't do anything with the base operating system.

Maybe if you need to go out of your way to install proprietary Nvidia drivers if they don't include it or something like that is the most you should do.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Well, that sounds like a work laptop, so you shouldn't really be doing much of anything personal on it except for work. If you have drive space problems, then talk to your work.

I'm sorry, but literally do not do this Unless you eventually want a seriously borked up Windows install.

But what about the numbers for when a game company's agreement with Denuvo ends? I pirate initially when cracked and then if I like the game and have the money I buy when the publisher removes the DRM. I mean, heck, you get so much better of an Experience when you pirate a game because the DRM isn't impacting performance and a lot of the time you get all of the DLC and pre-order bonuses too.

New comment by navjack27 in "Ask HN: How to see Netflix in a browser in Android?"

navjack27 — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 13:09:03 +0000

I'm not really sure why you would want that aside from curiosity. Going out of the app would as far as I understand limit your ability to watch Netflix at anything higher than 1080p (maybe 4K) and no HDR if the device in question has the capability. It's stupid DRM stuff but the best way to watch most streaming DRM content is on a trusted device through the app because that's the only way they allow it anymore for you to get the highest quality version of whatever is there. Can't even do it on a desktop computer running Windows 11 and an RTX 4090 in a web browser as far as I know but you could definitely do it on a Roku Smart TV from TCL from 2019 where the system on a chip seems like it shouldn't even be capable of decoding a 4K HEVC or AV1 HDR stream but hey this is the world we live in and I'm completely off topic to your question at this point.

I'm sorry, but your post is so hard to read with this formatting where you seem to refuse to put spaces after commas.

I'm sure you are saying something mostly relevant here but please; for people's perception of your intelligence sake and the accessibility of people trying to understand you, format better.

While I completely disagree with a full ban for selling a antique pill press I also disagree with selling an antique pill press. Donate that to a museum of medical history or something instead of trying to profit from an antique pill press. You don't know who you are selling it to and you can't trust who you are selling it to via eBay (pill presses are restricted on eBay antique or not) isn't going to divert that to someone who is going to attempt to try to use it for illicit means.
