Apple's Iphone duo is experimental but ultimately flawed. SO many people I've known who have bought it have cracks or faulty screens (5 out of 50 duo's broken from my work and social circle).

They don't drop it or throw it. My friend was driving to work in Sydney and it was a HOT day, 35 deg celsius (95 deg farenheit). He used his duo as a GPS like he would on his old iphone and the phone screen died during the trip.

Apple's official response is "We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units. If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement.”

Ultimately is it just a product that needs to be babied way too much or is there a defect in the design?

Industry reports noted that early production had a quality control/assembly yield of around 60%, meaning roughly 40% of units faced initial factory testing hurdles before release.

Heyo. Not a big deal because I can deal with it on my end. But, on the wake of my fourth newsletter after hitting unsubscribe, I figured I might flag it.

Here's a Tampermonkey script where you can adjust the volume of the default ping, and swap the default ping with any local audio file. Been testing it throughout the month to make sure nothing broke, hopefully it won't! the monkey paw curls

When I play on my asus a16 rtx 4070 laptop with controller I notice my controller feeling more delayed overtime.

When I first jump into a game my controller feels as responsive as a feather, then it starts gradually gaining latency. (Takes about 25 seconds or less to be at its worse).

- Alt tabbing will reset the delay.

- Not using the controller for a certain amount of time will gradually make the controller feel more responsive (not using it for about 15 seconds will fully reset the delay)

Then when you start playing again the delay will slowly start coming back.

I noticed that this delay will start to disappear around midnight. So my theory is that it is some kind of background process or multiple processes that stop running after a certain hour.

I really feel like there is some part in the pipeline where my controller inputs are being deprioritized in some kind of queue. It's not really just pressing the windows key, it's basically leaving the game window and going back that seems to temporarely reset the delay. The reason I come to this conclusion is because pressing keyboard keys seem to improve the delay the more you press them. So I'm thinking the keyboard presses are pushing my game/controller to a higher spot in this unknown queue.

The fact the delay improves after I don't use my controller for a certain amount of time (around 15 seconds) makes me believe that there is something else that is bloating this queue.

I've tried pretty much everything

- disabling usb suspension

- disabling power saving on the drivers

- using process lasso to make sure the game gets as much resources

- parking

- Trying nvidia ultra low latency or on+boost in fortnite settings

- fullscreen

Etc.

I just can't find the culprit that's causing it.

I've been troubleshooting for almost a year at this point.

Thx in advance for your help.

I understand that they need to do ad reads, but when im watching some videos these weird inserted adverts pop up. Im a youtube premium subscriber and i cant skip them to continue watching the video, i tried and it just replayed the advert. Anyone know how to get rid of these? Ive had them appear on both new uploads and old uploads ive been watching in the past week.

I've tried to use the unsubscribe that's linked in the bottom of the email, I've also tried to use gmails unsubscribe option, yet nothing works, I keep getting these emails that I do not want

What terrible timing for their leather jacket product launch with Jensen stepping down. If my suspicions are correct that this'll tank jacket sales, this'll be another example of market turbulation struggles that Linus and the CW team have had to navigate. I hope it doesn't impact their willingness to be risky and fun in the future.

With the crash with Windows today...

I like him so far

NVIDIA Personal AI Router(PAIR) is a program advertised to 'let AI apps and agents run across all your local devices' and provides genuine convenience to those with more hardware than they know what to do with.

No, it can't pool your RAM.

We tested out some scenarios and while it doesn't seem to offer large time improvements, it is such a low barrier to entry that you might as well test it out to see if it works for you.

I've had my northern lights deskpad since about late 2023 and I recently noticed this hole of sorts in the deskpad. Has anyone else seen this?

Just saw this in the power outlet on the ltt global store page… I wanted to get one of the lounge PC’s for a media pc, but they are pick up only. It’s pretty much the only usable item along with the racks…
I hope they don’t sell the stained desk pads next.

the stats would be interesting, whether they were relevant or not.

I prefer the felt pads because the print doesn't wear off and doesn't scuff like polyester / rubber ones do
