  • Yeah, it does a fab job of giving me playlists in each of the moods/genres/decades I tend to listen to most, giving me a mix of tracks I know and stuff I can discover. I’ve found sooo much new music I love that way!

    The AI voiced DJ is fun too, it’s surprising how psychologically satisfying it is to have a personal lil DJ, even when it’s basically just generating those same playlists under the hood, with a few tweaks.

    I’m glad there are offline/open source solutions people are posting of course, I don’t want Spotify to ever be the only choice or some kinda monopoly. But yeah, if you’re happy using a service like that and spending a reasonable amount on a subscription, it’s fantastic :-)





  • The big question:

    When I try to click on anything on the page, does it try to load pop-unders, or try to redirect me to very dodgy looking URLs?

    The smaller question:

    Will this be another private tracker, inaccessible without a special invite that’s impossible to get (or having to tie in my personal information, like an email address, just to access it)?

    If the answer to all that is no, I’m excited! :-D

    P.S Bonus important question: Can it sort the whole database of torrents by most-seeded? You’d think that would be a given, but websites like TPB don’t do this any more and it makes it impossible to simply browse - which is what I do, one must know exactly what they’re looking for. Bummer :-(



  • I assume this will be prohibitively expensive (I really can’t shell out any more than £60 and that’s pushing it already), and probably impossible to get my hands on.

    But if it’s affordable and actually available? Hell yeah, this thing looks fantastic. I love that we’re making something awesome here in the UK and sharing it with the world.

    Will we finally be able to run N64 games on this hardware, do you think?

    What’s the deal with this support person being unaware of how to use basic capitalisation and punctuation in sentences?

    We learned that when we were 6.

    Deeply, deeply unprofessional. If I had an employee that was this bad at presenting themselves to those outside of the organisation, I’d either insist they learn how to write properly in their own time and apply it at work, or possibly let them go.

    It may seem harsh, but they write like a child, and that would reflect very badly on us as a team and organisation in every interaction they had, every day.







  • What country are you in the midwest of? That really sucks, I emphasise :-(

    I know they have a lot of data aps like that in developing nations still, like those in Africa, but generally in the western world we moved past those around 15 years ago at least, thank the gods. I’ve not even had a date limit on my phone since 2014, so handy for tethering the laptop when I’m on the move!

    I’m in the UK, for reference :-)


  • I remember hearing about this guy enough that I was interested so I subscribed, and checked out a video of his once, I forget the topic but the title sounded pretty interesting. This was a few years ago.

    Within 3 minutes I had unsubscribed. Why?

    Well, he spent the first few minutes of the video being an annoyingly arrogant rich guy whilst also wasting time on things that had nothing at all to do with the topic of the video.

    It was when he had his camera man follow him through his house or office or whatever it was, tacky “check out my millionaire crib” style, like a show for kids, and he went into a room, pointed at a big wall of NAS racks and said something like “I’ve got thousands and thousands of dollars worth of hard drives and I don’t even use them! Hahaha”, and I was like… Yeah. Screw this guy.

    Some people might like a guy who baits grown up tech viewers with an interesting topic only to then waste their time with childish, arrogant behaviour, but I clocked him as a tosser within 3 minutes and never bothered with him again.

    That’s just my personal experience, I can’t imagine what having to be around someone like that every day would do to a person, my gosh :-(
