What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
  • I got one of those Epson ink tank printers for $250au. I think it's the first time inkjet printers have become legit affordable and high capacity.

    Laser still wins on reliability though, and being an Epson means it's a Tamagochi so needs to be used monthly at least so it doesn't die.

  • Has Facebook Stopped Trying?
  • Late 2023, Facebook added a feature where you can create multiple identities at ease, attached to your primary login, thus breaking the real name requirement. As a group admin it's changed the game, as people can easily join the group multiple times then brigade etc.

  • YouTube is experimenting with server-side ads
  • comskip.exe does it well on free to air TV, but I suspect the methods it uses might not work so well for Sponsorblock etc. That said, maybe a hash can be made of the video every ten seconds, and when the playback hash differs, skip that ten second block. Computationally intensive I suspect, but might work for embedded ads.

    Johnny Castaway is in a strange world!

    For some reason the screen is not resetting between scenes, giving him an unusually busy world. It's running 24/7 on XP but it's a 16 bit app.

    Johnny Castaway is having a moment...

    Day and night he runs around on top of the fish tank.

    Maybe one of the coconuts was bad...

    Cryptocurrency @kbin.social I_Miss_Daniel @lemmy.world

    Commonwealth Bank of Australia potentially limiting crypto transactions to $10,000 per month

    The CBA has contacted it's customers to advise or new limits affecting "those accounts we believe to be associated with cryptocurrency exchanges" to $10,000AU per month.

    This doesn't affect me since I have way way less disposable income to be playing with crypto, but it could impact some big traders.

    Posted via Lemmy.world since kbin keeps crashing when I try to post from my native account.
