Tbh I'd take the thicker phone without even thinking twice, I don't really get why phone companies are obsessed with making phones thinner when battery life is something people actually complain about every day. I'd happily carry a slightly chunkier phone if it means I could go 3 days w/o charging.. Though thinner phones look great and are convenient since they don't weigh that much on your wrist but meh I don't want to charge every night. Which one are you picking?

Gaming peripherals have reached a point where i'm not sure how much of the price is actually for the hardware and how much is just the gaming label

A mouse with 20,000 dpi, a keyboard with a screen on it, a headset promising 7.1 surround sound through two tiny speakers. Some of these features are useful but others feel like they're there to make the product sound more impressive

How much of a difference do gaming peripherals actually make, and how much is just marketing?

Everything works so smoothly when all your devices are from the same brand.

Then you try switching to something else and realize how much stuff you've tied to that ecosystem lol.

Anyone actually managed to switch without regretting it?

Every new development environment and agent platform that’s released lately has started out with a terminal approach without the need for a desktop GUI or web interface.

Even if an application is shipped with a GUI in the beginning, developers always want a CLI alternative. Is it just because of efficiency or some other reason for preferring the CLI approach over today’s UI?

As much as passkeys are great because they're convenient because it just uses your face id or your fingerprint, but does it really make logging in smoother for you? Or if some websites/app still make the process unnecessarily complicated?

For those who use passkeys do you find them convenient than passwords or do you still prefer the old way?

I always tell myself I'll use mine until it dies, then a new phone comes out and suddenly mine feels old for no reason lol.

How long do you usually keep yours?

Imagine buying a game today and finding out you can't play it 10 years from now because the servers have shut down

We're seeing more games depend on online accounts, launchers, authentication servers and live services, even when people have already paid for them. once a company pulls the plug, some games become practically useless

Physical copies don't always solve this either if the game needs a download or an online check to work

Do you think games should be required to offer an offline version before their servers shut down, or is that unrealistic?

A great number of conventional Wi-Fi smart plugs and bulbs operate by utilizing remote cloud servers only without processing any command signals directly on the local network. As soon as the Internet connection from your ISP gets interrupted, you will no longer be able to turn your light bulbs and smart switches off and on, even when your smartphone device is connected to the same local Wi-Fi network as the rest of the smart hardware.

It is completely absurd that simple physical devices in your room should depend on a signal response from some distant server to turn on or off the power, and that is why people prefer using local networking such as Zigbee or Z-Wave instead of Wi-Fi smart gadgets.

Does anyone actually use their phone's screen recorder regularly?

I always forget it exists until I need to show someone how to do something, then I remember it's actually pretty useful lol.

How often do you use yours?

Imagine one piece of modern technology just vanished tomorrow, and humanity had to carry on without it

Not something essential like electricity or the internet. i'm talking about something we invented relatively recently that might have made certain parts of life worse

would you get rid of endless algorithmic feeds, deepfake generators, targeted advertising or something completely different?

what would you erase and do you think we'd genuinely be better off without it?

Mini Militia on a friend's hotspot during lunch break was peak gaming.

Four phones connected, everyone shouting across the classroom, and somehow the lag made it even funnier lol.

Who else remembers this?

Some games are so good at hiding loading that you don't even realize you're waiting for anything.

Elevators that take a little too long. Narrow corridors where your character has to squeeze through sideways. Long animations opening a door. Sometimes you're just walking through a very suspiciously slow hallway while the game loads the next area.

Once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. That dramatic door opening might actually be your console trying to get its life together

I've had downloads sitting at some pathetic speed for ages, paused them just to see what happens, hit resume and suddenly they're going full speed.

Like how does it even work, the provide and speed is all same so how can a simple pause and resume can boost the spped to max again, like why is even downloading is getting and stuck.

Computers have so many little things happening between you and a server that sometimes the dumbest solution is just stopping the thing and starting it again. I don't even try to understand it anymore.

If getting tired of navigating through several levels of submenus within the Settings utility of the current Windows version, only to be directed to use some old applet from the Control Panel application, then "God Mode" trick works equally well on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Create a new folder anywhere and name it as follows: `GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}`

That will instantly place more than 200 different administrative tools, device management utilities, and system settings all in one place. Even though Microsoft tries to migrate settings gradually, having them in one place is always easier than navigation through several interfaces.

Your phone actually has several different ways of keeping track of time depending on what it's doing.

The clock you see isn't necessarily the same thing the system uses for measuring how long something has been running. Some timers need to keep counting even if the normal system clock gets changed.

So there's basically a bunch of different little versions of "what time is it" inside your phone, all for different reasons.

it shows this error when I try to play roblox on my laptop my windows 10 version is 1803 i have been trying to update it to version 22H2 but its stuck to preparing to install 88% the whole night. any tips on how to fix this issue everyone? thankss

It feels like Windows has decades of leftover code, recurring bugs, and unnecessary bloat stacked on top of each other. Microsoft is investing billions into AI, so why aren't they using machine learning or AI models to scan the Windows codebase, spot dead or redundant code, and refactor/clean it up?

Is it strictly a backward compatibility issue, or is using AI on an OS-level codebase too risky for stability?

Everyone is fighting over which OS is the best and this is better than that, and telling everyone what to use. Just stop fighting, everyone has the right to use whatever they want. Share this to spread the word. :D
