If you want a suggestion for a search engine that you can just turn all the AI stuff off... check out @kagi.com. For everything else, there is a way to do it but it's a pain. I've successfully disabled all of it on my computer and MOST of it on my phone (Google REALLY shoves it all in your face)

This is a FRIGGEN WEIRD story. After browsing that site I found one of our webinars on there and included in one of their gross "AI podcasts". I guess with public links you can't control how they are accessed but this is just SO WEIRD.

If anyone has the Nothing Phone 4a Pro, can you see if it supports aptX adaptive? Or take a screenshot of available Bluetooth codecs? #NothingPhone #Nothing4aPro

Navigating Snapdragon Sound for your devices Ever wondered how to get Snapdragon Sound on your computer or mobile phone? You're not alone.

🔊 Ever wondered how to use Snapdragon Sound on your devices? I've made a guide on how you can tell which devices can use it and how you can use it on basically any device you own ⬇️

I don't know but it's going to take like 100 years (if ever) for them to come back from this absolute gong show

Microsoft hints at "Project Strong Armed" to get more apps on its Arm-based devices There is a caveat, though.

The hamster wheel inside his brain fell off somewhere along the way. What an absolute idiot.

We definitely did not save my sleep

Nintendo is suing the U.S. government over illegal tariffs Recent court rulings deemed that Trump's emergency tariffs were unlawful and that affected importers could pursue refunds.

Go get 'em, Mario.

Sure team USA's men's hockey team is full of mysoginistic morons, but seeing them served McDonald's for dinner at the white house made me laugh 😂

@support.bsky.team still can't see country flag emoji on the desktop web version

Great game of hockey.

Some terrible calls from the refs.

All these players still make more per year than I do playing games 😂

Idiocracy is real life now I guess.

No stupid AI overview

If anyone in Canada uses @kagi.com can you please upvote my suggestion here to add a Canadian server? This is a really great search engine that is privacy focused and you can opt out of all AI if you want. kagifeedback.org/d/8133-dedic...

Curious to know what software as I work for a very large engineering firm and all our software works in emulation

Is app compatibility still a problem on Windows 11 ARM? I tested some popular apps We installed some popular apps on Windows 11 Arm-based PCs, such as Snapdragon, and the overall experience is quite decent.

🤔 Is app compatibility still an issue on Windows ARM? Nope. Not really. Passing on a Snapdragon X/X2 just because of 'something you've heard' would be missing out on the best new processor in years. www.windowslatest.com/2026/02/11/i...

Honestly, never watched "football" and never seen the super bowl and will never watch it, either. Just not my cup o tea.

X is a cesspool, unfortunately

Dead internet theory speedrun

Excuse the typos I am emotional 😅🥲

This is very sad. @jenmsft.bsky.social I know you probably can't do anything, but this is a big loss IMO. Having the ability to view STL/3MF build into Windows was huge - having to download a 3rd party app is a pain. I'm still mad that the 3D Builder app was depricated (I STILL USE IT!!)

Indeed - I am a bit confused too because as "early investors" we were promised access to the beta as soon as it was available, but it now seems they are just randomly sending invites out. Not a great start.

As someone who invested because I believed in the idea... this is extremely disappointing to hear. Now I'm worried about what this means for the future of their product. :(

Having a built in translate feature would be great, too 😂

I just recently deleted all previous pictures I posted of my kids - haven't posted their face in a few years but wanted to clean it up. I don't even like *my* face online now with all the AI crap, but at least they have a chance.

Will people who invested get beta invites at the same time?

Seems to be resolved now. I was seeing a ton of timeouts and over 1000ms lag on private DoH

It appears @cira.ca DNS is down or experiencing some extreme latency at the moment
