Mirroring every stupid Hackernews to lemmy post was a mistake

Title doesn’t match the post

One big difference is that it much more important to update BIOS/UEFI. I remember BIOS updates being much rarer back in the day.

Had to do this for the first time EVER (outside of initial setup) not too long ago due to that Intel overheating thing

Shill has primarily been used as an insult for the past 50 years in the way I’m defining it here. I don’t believe you’ve never heard it used to mean that.

one who acts as a decoy (as for a pitchman or gambler)

Literally on that same page.

a person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, as at a gambling house, auction, confidence game, etc.

If someone starts off saying “this is a sponsores stream” then yes, that is correct. It’s illegal to not disclose when media is an advertisement in most of the world. I’m pretty sure it’s against the TOS of most streaming sites, too.

A shill doesn’t disclose that they’re being paid to promote a product. The secrecy is what makes them a shill

Yes, someone who promotes a product while hiding the fact that they’ve been paid to promote the product. Streamers generally say “this is a sponsored stream” to avoid lawsuits.

Plenty do, yeah. Though to the marketing team, all streamers are influencers

Sponsoring streams isn’t even close to the same thing as hiring shills

I just looked it up - Heat was completely original but then Mann collaborated with another writer on a novel called Heat 2

CO2 poisoning does not look peaceful to outsiders

It doesn’t say the bitrate of said movies so it is indeed useless

YES. Tales From The Loop nailed the vibe. This movie does not

I cannot believe they turned Simon Stalenhag’s beautiful art into generic Hollywood action slop

I’m enjoying it so far but I’m the last episode, I was kind of annoyed that Frances didn’t expect that! (vague because I don’t know how to do spoiler tags)

I don’t know who that is but maybe the full set will help you confirm

Just making shit up huh

It’s been proven women see a greater range of colors, because women were more likely to gather food.

Deceptively started. Women seeing more colors than men is proven, not that it’s because they gathered food.

Yeah, but just the original renditions of said characters

They’ll become public domain in the same way as Mickey Mouse
