It is pretty annoying. I usually just take it as a sign to stop scrolling and go do something else 😅

For some reason the washer fluid dispenser is called “pissapoika” (literally pee boy) so the name might come from that.

I’ve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2018) for the past month or so. Haven’t been this immersed in a game world in a long time. Sure it’s a bit janky at parts and gets a while getting used to, but the world is beautiful and the attention to history and realism is incredible!

I feel like it’s especially bad if you are searching for anything related to a marketable product. I tried searching ddg for information about using a surge protector with halogen bulbs and all I got was pages and pages of listicles on “best halogen lights 2024” full of affiliate links.

One thing the AI response fails to address is why the 808 became affordable. It got a really mixed response when it was released as people didn’t really like the unnatural synthetic sounds. The 808 (and 909) was a commercial failure and many of them made their way into the second hand market as producers were “upgrading” to sample based machines. Younger and upcoming producers found these machines for cheap and started experimenting with the sounds without regard to how natural they sounded. This pretty much gave birth to the sound of hip hop and many electronic music styles.
