- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 2 weeks ago:
X is just a vague term though. It’s also often used as a placeholder for unknown or variable things. So the “formerly Twitter” is going to stick for quite a while.
It’s like naming a product “The Thing”. Anyone who talks about it will always have to clarify what Thing they are talking about basically forever.
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 2 weeks ago:
Nope. If your other finger is still resting on the mouse, it fucks up and can’t tell the difference between left and right click. It’s a 50/50 gamble unless you lift your fingers off beforehand.
Yes, I did use the mouse before, and I was wondering why the fuck the thing kept right clicking when I left clicked and left clicking when I right clicked. Only after googling did it reveal that it misinterprets shit if both fingers are resting on the mouse.
What kind of fucking mouse requires googling to click?

- Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? 3 weeks ago:
Rich people want to get richer. Rich people can afford to bribe/wine and dine/trade favors with the select few who actually write the law.
That is all.

That line is bullshit anyway, otherwise the entire field of surgery wouldn’t exist.
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 3 weeks ago:
Not without lifting your fingers off the mouse every time.
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 3 weeks ago:
It’s garbage to begin with. You can’t right click with both fingers resting on the mouse. Shit design through and through, it’s equally functional right side up or upside down.
- Comment on Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion 3 weeks ago:
The main issue with wireless is heat, at any charging speed it produces more heat than wired charging equivalent. With that said, if your room/charging spot is well ventilated and the ambient temperature isn’t too warm to begin with, it could be negligible.

Hello, fellow kids
- Comment on Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion 3 weeks ago:
Because in 3-5 years I can just press a button and magically have 100% again when I need it. It’s not the same boat at all.
- Comment on Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion 3 weeks ago:
Healthiest = slow charging via cable to 80% limit.
The further you stray from that the worst it is for your battery.
There might be even greater benefit limiting it to below 80, but not as significant as cutting the top end. The majority of battery damage happens at the last 10% of capacity and high heat.

Yeah, but the 1% remaining will take over the world.
Doors anyone remember the era when there were a million search engines? Google didn’t spawn alone.
Same with Amazon. You think nobody else tried to make an online store in the 90s? Lol.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
There are also plenty of dumb, nearly inconsequential recalls on regular cars too. Including things like “place this warning sticker in your manual”. That’s a recall.

- Comment on Apple Foldable iPhone Launch Faces Delay Until 2026, Faces Design Roadblocks 3 months ago:
It has its niche. Those who like it, really like it. My friend is basically only going to go with flip phones from now on because it fits completely inside his pockets and that it can act as its own tripod.

- Comment on NASA and Boeing say Starliner astronauts ‘are not stranded,’ but will be on the ISS for a few more weeks 4 months ago:
Lol. People want Boeing to fail, because they’re corrupt, lying, poorly engineered pieces of shit riding on bribed politicians. They’ve already deliberately caused the deaths of hundreds of people due to willful and deliberate negligence to save a buck.
Nobody’s wanting the astronauts to die. And they won’t, they’re safe on the space station, and there are multiple options to get them home safe even if they have to abandon the POS Starliner.

Strange how Google became the default search engine back in the day because they were so good at filtering out the dumb websites that just spam search terms all over the page.
