Is there a launcher for me? (lemmy.world)
 

I've tried a lot of the launchers I see talked about frequently- Nova, Niagra, Smart Launcher, Action Launcher, etc. but they all seem to not be worth the hassle of switching away from pixel launcher. Also none of them have the Google News feed that the pixel launcher has. I feel like I'm losing features when I switch. Perhaps I'm just stupid and am not utilizing the features these launchers actually bring to the table.

Can you tell me about your favorite launcher and it's features that keep you hooked to it? Thanks.

What is the deal with mobile GPUs vs PC GPUs? (lemmy.world)
 

For anyone who knows.

Basically, it seems to me like the technology in mobile GPUs is crazier than desktop/laptop GPUs. Desktop GPUs obviously can do things better graphically, but not by enough that it seems to need to be 100x bigger than a mobile GPU. And top end mobile GPUs actually perform quite admirably when it comes to graphics and power.

So, considering that, why are desktop GPUs so huge and power hungry in comparison to mobile GPUs?

Google confirms Gmail is “here to stay” amid speculation over plans to scrap the email service in c/technology@lemmy.world

Why does anyone think Google would shut down Gmail? You'd have to be stupid to think that they would shut down the most used email service on earth, one that is deeply integrated into Google as an ecosystem.

That's Maddox, owner of The Best Page in the Universe.

I would also like to know how to remap the buttons.

Switched from uTorrent to QBitTorrent (lemmy.world)
 

So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.

I didn't think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They're both just torrent downloaders.

Holy shit was I wrong. I don't even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don't even understand how.

A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.

Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

I worked in a restaurant and received many Google assistant calls that sounded completely natural.

I've got the Killswitch set up. How do I check for DNS leak?

When I first got email, it was issued by my service provider. Easy. When I got my next email many years later, through Gmail, the sign up process was easy to understand and intuitive.

Having to decide between instances is a huge turn off for would be new users. It's a weird concept and it even took me a while to understand it, and I'm pretty tech savvy. Lemmy will never take off like reddit until it's more centralized.

It's not. I need more knowledge.

Notification checking time. (lemmy.world)
 

The fastest option is 30 minutes intervals. Can you please add 5 minute intervals? 30 minutes is a long time.

A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they're all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me...
