My phone is 3 years old and is still going strong. The battery feels the same to me as the day I bought it, but I also don't consume a full battery in a day.

Samsung has had the auto reboot feature for a long time too.

Samsung - auto-restart

I think the internet is broken in this regard. Adverts and all of the tracking is horrific. Pay walling a website for $5-10 a month is not appealing for those who only want to read a couple of articles a month. But, without monetization good content from people who are good at their job will disappear.

Don't get me wrong, I'm team adblock everything but I am willing to pay if there is a new sensible solution to the problem figured out.

Let's say OpenAI did actually use Scarlett Johansson's voice. Who owns the audio that OpenAI used? Scarlett Johansson herself or the movie company that used the audio in their movie(s)? This might be a case of Scarlett Johansson vs the movie company, not Scarlett Johansson vs OpenAI, as OpenAI could have paid for them.

Because of an impersonator?

lemmyingly , 30 days ago to Technology in Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining

Regardless of OS, I'd like to see actual user numbers with stats like this because a percentage oversimplifies the landscape.

Have people moved away from (uninstalled) Windows 11 or have people just bought computers with a different OS/older version of Windows on it. To me, these tell a different tale.

Aegis does automatic backups. I guess you didn't turn it on?

I don't seem to have an issue with swiping on my keyboard either except for names and abbreviations/capitalisations but then all phone keyboards struggle with that except for T9 and blackberries. I think it's a small price to pay for such fast and effortlessly swiping for 99.9% of the time.

I hate those types of cookie consent forms because they feel like a dark pattern wanting to make it as excruciating as possible just so you give in and click accept all.

Modern Logitech mice are the same. The cheap Chinese Omron switches in the same mouse look like they're from different factories.

I have two G604 mice that I bought within a couple of months of each other and one of them started double clicking. So I did a button switch just like you but with Kailh reds. Each mouse had old looking Omron switches.

I have a friend who's in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he's installed, he's yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he's tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.

I had a friend who had a SanDisk and it also failed. I also think SanDisk thumb drives suck.

I've seen many Kingston drives at work fail, which I think is interesting because their thumb drives are some of the best. Actual USB 3 speeds and built well.
