- Comment on Ignorance is BS: speaker’s stock answer on Trump’s misdeeds is ‘I don’t know’ 4 days ago:
If you don’t know, then you’re admitting you aren’t doing your job. It’s your job to know.
- Comment on The amount of ghost towns in the US and elsewhere will skyrocket in our lifetimes and become a normalized thing 6 days ago:
It’s happened before with mining towns and the early days of the oil boom. Lots of still abandoned towns in the middle of nowhere.
- Comment on I watch the first Star Trek Discovery episode, I didn't like it. 1 week ago:
I really wish we’d get a season/show set in that era.

- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 week ago:
These CEOs seem really slow on the uptake. Gonna put all your chips into the AI business just as the bubble is about to burst.
- Comment on YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off. 1 week ago:
- Comment on Krueger, Gallagher Introduce SUNNY Act To Support Balcony Solar in New York 1 week ago:
You’re really going to need to UL list these things or something. Otherwise Murdoch and the NY Post will be running stories like, “balcony catches fire from liberal solar panels!” Ignoring that the tenant probably ordered the panel from Amazon or Temu or bought it from the back of someone’s van.
- Comment on The mysterious black fungus from Chernobyl that may eat radiation 2 weeks ago:
Nice to see a non-clickbait headline for a change.
- Comment on Can I use a steel sponge as a soldering sponge? 2 weeks ago:
Are you certain? I seem to recall that steel wool burns. I’m not sure how different the pictures scrubber is from steel wool pads.
- Comment on Inside Amazon: Who pays the price? 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like Amazon taking a page from Walmart’s book.
- Comment on US adults social media usage by platform 2 weeks ago:
But remember folks, it’s “not a monopoly.”
- Comment on Christina Chong Has a Wild Idea for a 'Doctor Who' and 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Crossover 2 weeks ago:
Please no. No more gimmicks. No singing. No dancing. No puppets. No crossovers with other franchises. Just please make some good, classic Star Trek.
- Comment on Stock market sinks as AI and interest rate worries grip investors 3 weeks ago:
Would be interesting to see that chart adjusted for inflation.
- Comment on When you say "thank you kindly", the adverb is describing how you are thanking them, so you're basically saying "I'm being kind" 3 weeks ago:
The adverb is on the verb in this sentence, not the noun. You are saying I thank you, and how I thank you is kindly (gratefully or with grace). As opposed to thanking someone snidely or backhandedly.
- Comment on Profit slide at Target hints at meager holiday season for the retailer 3 weeks ago:
And yet they still haven’t changed their leadership or their policies. Guess they will continue to slide into oblivion.
- Comment on Camera Capabilities Unlocked From A Mouse 4 weeks ago:
Reminds me of ThunderScan.
- Comment on The Genetic Powers of These Tiny Creatures Could Make Us Superhuman 4 weeks ago:
Someone’s been watching too much Star Trek Discovery.
- Comment on New data shows companies are rehiring former employees as AI falls short of expectations 4 weeks ago:
You’re gonna want that higher pay when you’re spending your days unraveling spaghetti code written by AI.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 5 weeks ago:
Quite a claim from the guy who labeled things “Full self driving” and “Autopilot”. 🙄
- Comment on Being too nice online is a dead giveaway for AI bots, study suggests 5 weeks ago:
That photo illustration is hilarious.
- Comment on Under the hood: How Firefox suggests tab groups with local AI | The Mozilla Blog 5 weeks ago:
More bloat and AI that I neither need nor want.
- Comment on Can Cows and Solar Power Coexist? We’re About to Find Out 5 weeks ago:
In the photo it looks like the lines are routed through the mounting poles and then buried. Hopefully that will prevent any munching.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says the company doesn't have enough electricity to install all the AI GPUs in its inventory - 'you may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can’t plug in' 5 weeks ago:
To make more electricity, they should try burning some of the hot air that comes out of Nadella’s mouth.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 1 month ago:
The website you linked to says that it’s not a class action suit, but a “mass arbitration” which I’ve never heard of. It also claims that Google has a “no class action” clause in its warranty/user agreement. I don’t see how that’s legal, but whatever. I also wonder if that clause was there at the time of purchase for gen 1 and gen 2 thermostats.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 1 month ago:
While an interesting idea, that project wants what amounts to the cost of a new thermostat in exchange for a kickstarter project. Might as well just buy a new thermostat.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 1 month ago:
Surprisingly, these still work as dumb thermostats after the cutoff date.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 1 month ago:
Was hoping something like Homebridge could be used to still control these, but no luck. After the cutoff they can be used manually like a traditional thermostat, which is a surprise coming from Google. I still fear they are going to generate a bunch of ewaste from people replacing them.

I hope these were donated.

Isn’t this how Skynet started?
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 1 month ago:
I think it’s more likely just Tim Cook. The buck stops with him. Someone needs to say no to some of this stuff (liquid glass, yearly release schedules, etc.) and that someone should have been him.
