And at the end of the morning news segment, this Japanese streamer IS NOT flat.

They'll do it the same way Facebook and Twitter forced algorithmic feeds on people. First have it as an option; then put it as a default thing but still be able to change to normal; then pretend this is what it was always like and fuck you and what you want, you'll watch what I tell you to watch.

YouTube's next move is for the default home page to be mostly shorts and you'll need to click something to get the old home page back, each and every time you visit YouTube.

Sorry fam, that's not a Romanian. Maybe he's a Bulgarian or Turk.

The standard used to be: can it run Doom?
Now it's: can it run Doom or Half-Life?

We have it in the "newer" carts. The ones in the pictures are ancient, from the communist era.
Mind you, the "new" carts aren't exactly new either, they must be at least 20-25 years old too.

Not gonna pretend I know how our metro's PA system works, but I can tell you I've never had the experience where it got a station wrong. If I were to guess, I'd say it was automated in some way, and not based on the whims of a driver pushing a button.

@hj @isa @jonossaseuraava
Sure, but this is Romania, not China. Our letters are perfectly legible.

>Sometimes PA is plain wrong
If you guys can't even get a PA system right, I feel sorry for you.

If you're visiting a foreign place, and use headphones to drown out important context clues that help guide you, that's your problem, not mine.

>not speaking the language
Not that big of a problem. The PA system is pretty simple, and it's easy to understand which is the next station's name, and what is just the "the next station is...." part of the announcement.
And you usually find metro maps in each cart, so it's easy to match the name you hear on the PA with what you see on the map. Technically you can manage without even the PA by looking at the map and counting out the stops, but you need to be very careful to make sure you're going in the right direction.
