- Comment on Windows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive 14 hours ago:
How much video information does a project file even have though? Like, if it’s just instructions for editing together the video clips, that aren’t even being uploaded, that doesn’t seem very useful for AI training.
- Comment on Windows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive 15 hours ago:
The program now requires video projects to be saved to Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service in order to continue editing them, reports Windows Latest.
According to Microsoft, the media files themselves (such as video clips and images) don’t necessarily need to be synced to the cloud.
This is less shitty than I expected. Forcing people to put videos and images in OneDrive could have pushed them towards paying for more OneDrive space, but if it’s just the project file I’m not even sure why Microsoft made the change. Are ClipChamp project files big?
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive 5 days ago:
We just had this month’s Patch Tuesday and they’re still dealing with problems caused by last month’s?! I really need to try harder to convince my father putting Linux on his current computer is a better idea than buying a Windows 11 computer.

And I do hope they find Ocam - I assume he wandered off into the woods or something after episode 8.
I suspect he actually followed orders and went down to Betazed last episode like he was supposed to.

Instead of “Rubin con”, it could split as “Rub in con”. If Nus pulled off a good con he’d for sure rub it in.

The picture of Anisha looks to me like she’s betrayed everyone and the dude in the background with what seems to be a weapon is with her.
Lura is back. I feel like it’s been a few weeks since we’ve seen her.
- Comment on whos your favorite borg? mine is localhost 1 week ago:
I can’t remember if it was at university or a job, but there was a server named ‘borg’ and on there localhost really would have been borg.

I don’t watch WWE, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Becky’s wrestling gear based on her character’s uniform has gotten more screen time than the actual uniform.

Frakes says this was the last Star Trek episode he has directed. None of the filming since has fit his schedule.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x09 "300th Night" 2 weeks ago:
Why did they bother introducing the Athena’s bridge crew if they’re not going to use them?
I guess reunification between the Vulcans and Romulans must have taken a while if Vulcan was renamed to Ni’var in Nahla’s lifetime.
Convenient that they waited until the school year was over to lose most of the school.
- Comment on Google settles with Epic Games, drops its Play Store commissions to 20% 2 weeks ago:
So after all that, Epic just got the commission cut by 1/3? Wonder how long it’ll take their savings to equal what they spent on legal fees and the revenue they missed while Fortnite wasn’t on the Play Store.

Prodigy season 2 came out in July 2024. How is it winning awards in 2026?
- Comment on Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS 2 weeks ago:
This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.
Releasing an OS that requires an NPU when Intel and AMD are only this year starting to ship desktop CPUs that even have an NPU seems very aggressive.
- Comment on Is the Memory Shortage Intentional? 2 weeks ago:
It’s OpenAI in particular trying to screw everyone else. The wafers they contracted from Samsung and SK Hynix are something like 40% of those companies’ production. There isn’t enough production volume for the other AI companies to over order like that.

So much of the Verge is paywalled these days it’s completely understandable for someone not to bother clicking through.
- Comment on Star Trek Removed From Amazon Prime [TNG & Voyager Refunded] 3 weeks ago:
Comparing mu whitelist to the suggestions I’ve found online, I can only come up with api2.branch.io, saa.paramountplus.com and tags.tiqcdn.com; I might have also deleted something from the blacklist. There’s a few Paramount+ whitelists, like this one, that you could look at if none of those work.

When the app wouldn’t save my watch history, I eventually found that I needed to unblock a domain in pi-hole to make it work. Are you using anything like that?
- Comment on You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised 4 weeks ago:
Since the summary doesn’t say which three popular password managers:
As one of the most popular alternatives to Apple and Google’s own password managers, which together dominate the market, the researchers found Bitwarden was most susceptible to attacks, with 12 working against the open-source product. Seven distinct attacks worked against LastPass, and six succeeded in Dashlane.

Benj Edwards handles most of their AI coverage. I wouldn’t take his use of AI as a sign of what the rest of the staff is doing.

- Comment on TV Execs Warn FCC: NextGen TV DRM Could Turn Free TV Into Gambling and Pay-TV Platforms 5 weeks ago:
I expect that not only will the current FCC decline to do anything about this, the complaint may have given Trump a new business idea.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 1 month ago:
However, Epic Game Store only actually exists on Windows, and it’s on iOS in the EU.
Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an “Install on Windows” link with text below it “Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only).”

- Comment on If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations? 1 month ago:
$24.95/yr seems high. Are you looking at a specialty TLD? I paid around 10 USD/yr for a .com with Cloudflare, and 12 CAD/yr for a .ca with Canspace.

Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?
- Comment on [Very minor Academy spoilers] Does anyone else think the marketing undersold Holly Hunter as Chancellor Ake? 1 month ago:
They started filming the season 2 finale this week. I think if she wasn’t going to be in season 2 we’d have heard something by now.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x01 "Kids These Days" & 1x02 "Beta Test" 1 month ago:
The away team braclets are programmed for at least a couple of different modes, and switching is pretty quick. I would think if they could use programmable matter to make a multi-mode tricoder, it would be standard.
At any rate, I assume they can’t program matter into dilithium, because that would have made recovering from the Burn a whole lot easier.

Re: limits of programmable matter:
On Discovery away teams wore programmable matter flashlight bracelets that could turn into a phaser, and I think even a phase rifle, but from these last couple of episodes it seems they can’t make a tricorder that turn into a medical tricorder.
