Technology@beehaw.org•Gen Z is bringing back landline phones because they think they look ‘cool’: ‘I love to twirl the cord’
12·2 years ago40 years old. Haven’t been satisfied with a phone-slam since before my first cordless phone in 2001.
Not in the slightest. Even with the last decade of ‘pfft, why pirate when we have Spotify?!1’ dialogues, music piracy never slowed down for a moment.
Because:
A) New Pipe is a phone app only.
B) People view YouTube on devices other than phones.
C) People view more websites than just YouTube, on which they also want to block ads.
Tons. Still loving Margaret from 2009ish who asked me if ‘we own the Google’ and wouldn’t take ‘no’.
Also, fuck apple simps.
Former Applecare rep here: Say it again, Trick!
Cena’s infamous for being (comparably) quite loud in the ring when calling things. Always manages to get picked up by the mic’s.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is all wrestling , boxing matches really fake ?
13·2 years agoAsked and answered but to chime in also: Boxing is not fixed (outside of incidents involving crooked people of course).
Pro Wrestling is choreographed performances. The results of matches are predetermined by the booker. The wrestlers come together before hand, decide between them some ‘spots’ they wanna do during the match but otherwise go out there and ‘call a match’ live (giving each other verbal cues to do certain things/do certain things to them which the audience doesn’t/can’t hear [hopefully, looking at you Cena lol]).
The moves are done in specific ways to minimize actual damage, and wrestlers are trained to land, and take moves in specific ways to minimize actual damage.
A good source is the Santino Bros Wrestling Academy out in Cali. They have a playlist on their YouTube channel showing the basics of almost any wrestling move you’d wanna know and learn. Watch some of em and you can see the tricks.
Or the 3 or 4 times New Jack tried to straight up kill someone during a match.
I.E. A Tuesday.

Technology@beehaw.org•HP CEO says customers who don't use the company's supplies are "bad investments"
1·2 years agoHonestly the only thing HP has ever made that I haven’t been horribly, horribly disappointed with is their monitors. Just through circumstance of ‘whatever-the-fuck-was-cheapest-but-not-total-ass-when-I-went-to-buy-them’ I’ve ended up with 4 different HP monitors over the years, including a 20ish year old 4:3 one which still goes strong to this day.
Every other product was pure unadulterated ass.
What you describe is the reason I switched from sync to boost years ago!
As someone who used to work for Applecare, TDM was a bit of a lifesaver on some calls!


Come on, buddy lol.
