Two wrongs don’t make a right.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 2 days ago:
Steam OS really needs a simple to use installer with the option to automatically add a partition to an existing Windows PC. Even if you don’t dual boot, it would encourage more people to try it and wean themselves off of Windows.
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 3 days ago:

- Comment on Hulu officially launching on Disney Plus across the globe — here's when it's coming 5 days ago:
It used to be a nice service that had content from a bunch of different channels and studios. Then Disney bought it and ruined it.
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly mulls ad-infested free Xbox Cloud Gaming plan — Game Pass Ultimate subscriber allegedly catches ad during game loading 5 days ago:
That explains the recent price increase. Like the TV streamers, they know they make more money from ad revenue than subscriptions. So, they want to funnel users to the “free” tier.
- Comment on Wipeout series - The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast 6 days ago:
See also BallisticNG. Eventually I want to see if I can get this game, or Wipeout to work with a USB flight controller, or yoke and pedals. Something like what’s used on the Star Wars arcade cabinet.
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 1 week ago:

- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 1 week ago:
Some people like it. Some people hate it. You’re going to have to make that determination for yourself. You’ll know by the time you get to season two which camp youre in
Personally I found the cast wasted on poor writing. And as someone else mentioned, the show concentrates entirely too much on Burnham. Half of the bridge crew you probably won’t know their names by the end of season one. There were a couple of bright spots — Saru’s backstory and character were well done.
- Comment on UK officially rolls out digital ID scheme, to combat illegal migrants working. 1 week ago:
This won’t stop immigrant employment. It just means they’ll be paid in cash under the table.
Will UK be requiring an ID to get medical care? That might make a dent there, but it’s a mixed bag because people who don’t get care spread illness. Especially bad during pandemics.
