Catherine Tate’s guest appearance was always the funniest one:



Reminds me of a post on Lemmy a while back about a guy wearing a shirt like this:



I’m sure it’s true that a lot of marketing departments are useless, but adept at marketing themselves. At the same time, you’re right that marketing also can and does work, and the marketing that works best is when you’re not even conscious of it. For example, most of us here are well-aware of the upcoming Steam Frame and Steam Machine. How so? Marketing. Most people here hate ads, but post a Valve press release about upcoming hardware and nobody here even cares that they’re being marketed to.


the thing that marketing departments are best at is marketing their own importance to company management
That’s quite an interesting insight.


True, the open box one would’ve been cheaper. I do know for a fact that I saw a MSI laptop with these specs in December for around $700. I’ve never been in the market for a 4050, so I can’t speak to previous pricing there.


My point is that mere months ago, $700 did buy you a new laptop like this with a 4060. Now, even this open box one is sold out and the only option is something like what you posted.


Are the app’s servers hosted on Epstein island? A father and son sharing chicken choking habits just sounds creepy.


It’s at least 30 seconds. It’s possibly trying to phone home and hitting a timeout, though there’s no Ethernet or Wi-Fi, so not sure why it would bother.





My, how far we’ve fallen where a $600 potato with 8GB of RAM is considered a great deal.
Here’s a $720 laptop with 16GB of DDR5 and a RTX 4060 (out of stock of course):


Yes, and no. For example, my Samsung TV makes me wait while it tries to recognize whatever I have plugged into the HDMI port, as opposed, oh I don’t know, just displaying the fucking signal being fed to it. Annoying as hell.


Yeah, either a rigged primary or no primary. I assume they’re planning to pick Patrick Bateman (a.k.a., Newsom) for us next time one way or another while preaching at us that “democracy is on the ballot”.
Just finished watching The Dinosaurs series, narrated by Morgan Freeman. I enjoyed the series overall, though I do find it difficult to suspend my disbelief and stop wondering what shit they completely made up, what has a firm scientific basis, and the extent to which the current understanding will be laughable in 20 years.


The intention is to describe humans serving machines instead of machines serving humans. The term centaur doesn’t necessarily describe servitude and there’s probably a better term that is more apt and more readily understood.


Women Preferences Expands Nationwide
The original title only makes sense to people seeing it listed on Uber’s website who are familiar with Uber’s “Women Preferences”. That exact title without modification doesn’t provide enough context for a random post on Lemmy, IMO.
I do agree that it’s annoying when posts change the title in a way that didn’t accurately reflect the linked article, but I don’t think that’s necessarily the case here.
I gladly pay more for my local fiber connection than it would cost for Xfinity. Fuck these greedy corporate shithead monopolies with their shitty service. I’ll pay whatever it costs to support a local company instead.
