- Comment on Fahrenheit is exactly what is wrong with USA 1 day ago:
It’s stupid that we still aren’t in the metric system.
- Comment on Our commitment to Windows quality 3 days ago:
This blog post has some real “surejan.gif” energy. I’ll believe there are improvements if/when I see them.
- Comment on YSK fuel is heavily taxed, but you can avoid the taxes and reduce waste by making your own diesel without expensive equipment 3 days ago:
I think this depends on where you live. For example, gasoline is heavily subsidized in the US, and federal gas taxes haven’t been raised since 1993.
- Comment on AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming 4 days ago:
“Oh that was the hammer that hit you in the noggin, not me. Why yes, I did pay for that hammer and I did hold it, and I did swing it in your direction, but it’s totes not my fault.
- Comment on AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming 4 days ago:
Socializing the losses isn’t real capitalism.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
I’m actually fine with them building their own power grids. It means they aren’t getting volume discounts from my local electric company and making the power costs go up for the rest of us.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
Are we supposed to believe this poll? I mean the US has the “Log Cabin” republicans, but they are a small minority of the gay/bi population. Why would the UK be the opposite?
- Comment on The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it 5 days ago:
Microsoft probably doesn’t care at this point.
- Comment on Firefighting drones head to Aspen—can they suppress a blaze before humans arrive? 6 days ago:
These care “foam supressant”. Makes me wonder if they will spew more PFAS everywhere.
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 1 week ago:
It was this guy. And he left for Facebook. Where he belongs.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant is coming to current-gen Xbox consoles this year 1 week ago:
Because Xbox is dead, Microsoft got rid of its leaders, and replaced them with the former VP in charge of AI.
- Comment on Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company 1 week ago:
I guess Google finally realized they don’t have to own the network connection in order to track people.
- Comment on YSK what is really happening when Dish/DirecTV (et al) and your local news have beef with each other 1 week ago:
I don’t watch DIRECTV, dish, or the local news. They can fight over what’s left of satellite and cable tv all they want.
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 1 week ago:
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 1 week ago:
As do the Roku TCL models. I currently have mine disconnected and plan to keep it that way.
- Comment on Solar panel reimbursements to remain low under California appeals court ruling 1 week ago:
Disconnecting is already being marketed and sold.
- Comment on Solar panel reimbursements to remain low under California appeals court ruling 1 week ago:
Do you want people installing batteries and not selling you back excess energy? Because that’s what will happen with policies like this. People will eventually disconnect from the grid completely, and the have nots will be stuck with high energy prices (while the AI data centers will be given a rate discount).
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 week ago:
Pure greed.
- Comment on Middle East war strengthens case for renewables, say clean energy experts 2 weeks ago:
No duh. We go through this every four years. Then people return to importing natural gas and buying gas guzzling SUVs. Memories seem to be quite short.
- Comment on First darn (and first time using a darning loom) 2 weeks ago:
It’s amazing that people used to do this regularly. Especially during WWII. That looks like a lot of work.
- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 2 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t that mean ten percent of all crashes in all apps would be caused by bit flips? What makes Firefox special?
- Comment on Microsoft Patents Reveal AI-Powered Xbox Helper System That Can Play Games for You 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on Chris Bowen urges motorists not to panic-buy petrol 2 weeks ago:
The world seems to go through this cycle every four years. People buy huge gas guzzling SUVs, war breaks out in the Middle East, gas prices skyrocket, everyone complains and panics. You’d think people would have caught on by now.
- Comment on Most Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds 2 weeks ago:
Don’t get complacent. Vote. Make sure your friends vote. Looked at what’s happening in the US.
- Comment on Charter gets FCC permission to buy Cox and become largest ISP in the US 3 weeks ago:
Maybe they should compete directly most places. Maybe that’s the problem. 🤔
- Comment on Biggest Source of Electricity In Each U.S. State and Canadian Province (2025) 4 weeks ago:
Same problem with Texas. Large empty swaths of sunny West Texas are perfect for solar and wind, which generate more and more of the grid’s needs. But when the natural gas lines froze up one winter, and renewables kept things going, the Republican administration blamed solar and wind for the loss of electricity, not gas. Just making stuff up to support their strange love of fossil fuels.
- Comment on Texas becomes leading test ground for small nuclear reactors 4 weeks ago:
I’ll believe it when I see it. This is the state that fracked everything and then spread its radioactive, pfas-infested fracking waste all over the land. Now they’re building elementary schools on top of it.
- Comment on Texas becomes leading test ground for small nuclear reactors 4 weeks ago:
And who will handle the waste product? And who will pay for handling the waste product?
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Because of course they did. Not only did they think this was a good idea, they patented it! Ghouls.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 5 weeks ago:
Just pointing out that the crew often goes flying around the bridge quite often in Star Trek, despite the “inertial dampeners” and I think someone sitting sideways in a chair probably wouldn’t fare too well in that situation. And that the slick mop-n-glo floors probably won’t help either. Thought used to go into the design of these ships, but now it’s all about “make it shiny and futuristic looking!” But honestly I think it would build some character into the show if it actually happened and Hunter’s captain had a good laugh about it.
