This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting.
Yet in spite of all this, certain games won’t let you turn it off or have hair/fur/foliage look like dogshit without it so sometimes I still use it.
Several things from Google.
Check out piped.video. It’s content of youtube without youtube. That means no recommendatios based on their algorythm, which might be nice sometimes but it’s a good alternative. LibreTube for an Android app is what I use.
Ente seems good Google Photos alternative, but you do have to pay for it (they have like 1GB free space)
Yeah I use SmartTube on my TV and piped on my phone but I still count that as “using YouTube.”
It also sucks they offered unlimited free photo hosting then reneged.
No they didn’t. They offered unlimited free photo hosting for the Pixel 1. Which I still make use of. Later pixel generations got free unlimited uploads for 2 years.
Isn’t Waze better, functionalitywise, than google maps? I dont think they are any better on ethical fronts, but still better to use the less powerful evil…
I mean it’s still Google.
It is but Waze is owned by Google.
I deleted my Google account recently and I agree that Google maps is in a league of their own. I now use Magic Earth in my car, but searching for something is not as good as Google maps. But so far the realtime traffic info is good
