- Comment on Epic win: Jury decides Google has illegal monopoly in app store fight 5 months ago:
I am also confused. I can see Apple getting sued for this, but I have multiple app stores on my Android phone.
- Comment on White House threatens to veto anti-EV bill just passed by US House 5 months ago:
They are just racists with a Bible in their hand.
I grew up in churches around religious people, you just described 99% of “Christians” in the American South.
- Comment on ProtonMail and SimpleLogin emails will be blocked from registering on websites 5 months ago:
If that’s the case, they should also block Gmail.
- Comment on 'Your Turn': United Auto Workers Launches Campaign to Unionize Tesla 5 months ago:
I’ve been in two, and both of them were this way. Tossed most of us under the bus to protect a small group of older employees. We definitely need more unionization, but we also need to weed out the unions that are counterproductive.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 5 months ago:
It’s definitely not just Renault, I’ve been asked in the past with my other cars. Might have just gotten lucky so far.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 5 months ago:
They haven’t asked me about mine yet. I’ve been a bit surprised.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 5 months ago:
Exactly. I’ve loved mine, only maintenance has been updates for the software, and occasional tire rotations.
- Comment on Bethesda Is Responding to Negative Reviews of Starfield on Steam 5 months ago:
For me it was super boring until I left Constellation, fun for 10 or so hours after that, super boring for a few more, and now I haven’t played it in over 2 months.
- Comment on Broadcom lays off many VMware employees after closing its $69 billion acquisition of the company 5 months ago:
I’m shocked. This definitely wasn’t predicted by literally everyone.
- Comment on YouTube’s Loaded With EV Disinformation 5 months ago:
Yep. I stop for 20 or so minutes every 200 or so miles, and honestly I’m stretching it to go that long because my wife and kid want to stop even more often. I spend basically 0 extra time road tripping in my EV unless it’s a holiday weekend and the charger is packed.
- Comment on YouTube’s Loaded With EV Disinformation 5 months ago:
He chose a fairly slow charging CCS car vs a Tesla. That video was super slanted.
- Comment on Keep in mind that social security is set to run out in 10 years time. 5 months ago:
It’s the shittiest way possible to save for retirement.
- Comment on Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated 5 months ago:
It’s very overrated, and devs out there, if you are using it, the rest of us can tell, and not in a good way.
- Comment on All Those 23andMe Spit Tests Were Part of a Bigger Plan 5 months ago:
No question. It took me 6 years and thousands of hours to find mine (distant matches only, and birth father was dead, and birth mother was also adopted, which added an extra 2 years to the search). If it wasn’t for DNA I would never have located her though.
- Comment on All Those 23andMe Spit Tests Were Part of a Bigger Plan 5 months ago:
It’s commonly used by Adoptees to find their biological family. This can be important for a few reasons, including finally getting accurate family health history.

It’s gotten a lot better over the past few years.
- Comment on Firefox lost users during “failed” Yahoo search deal, says Mozilla CEO 6 months ago:
Kind of looks like she fell asleep watching a toddler, and it decided to cut her hair.
- Comment on Honda says making cheap electric vehicles is too hard, ends deal with GM 6 months ago:
Hydrogen cars are basically hybrids already. Hydrogen has some issues though that are unlikely to be overcome. Go watch a video of someone driving one around, if you think finding an EV charger is difficult, just try finding a hydrogen charger outside of southern California.
- Comment on Honda says making cheap electric vehicles is too hard, ends deal with GM 6 months ago:
The idea is that you charge when you go somewhere with a parking lot where you are staying for more than a few minutes. Almost everyone whose primary mode of transportation parks somewhere and then spends 30+ minutes inside, whether that be restaurants, grocery stores, work, or somewhere else. In that time I get get 200 miles of range, which is far more than I actually use most weeks.
- Comment on Honda says making cheap electric vehicles is too hard, ends deal with GM 6 months ago:
DC fast charging is fairly fast. My car goes from 10-80 in less than 20 minutes in summer, and probably 35 minutes in winter. My wife spends more time than that in grocery stores weekly.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+ 6 months ago:
CK3 was the last straw for me. It’s been years, and the DLC released is both expensive and lacking in the mechanics of CK2.
- Comment on Toyota to adopt Tesla charger for North American EV models 6 months ago:
I’d bet anything he still tries something. Don’t forget what an enormous moron he is.
- Comment on Toyota to adopt Tesla charger for North American EV models 6 months ago:
That’s disappointing. I can’t wait to see how Musk attempts to screw with everyone once all major companies are using his “open” standard.
- Comment on Toyota to adopt Tesla charger for North American EV models 6 months ago:
We had a standard before that, it was called CCS. Musk changing the name of his charger doesn’t make it a defacto standard, no matter what the Muskites tell you.
- Comment on What's the most desturbing thing when you look up your username in SteamDB? 6 months ago:
Only 2000 hours in 19 years? Doesn’t feel right, but I guess many of my games aren’t from Steam.
- Comment on If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be? 6 months ago:
Final Fantasy 6. Still my favorite game of all time.
- Comment on Finding a Tech Job Is Still a Nightmare 6 months ago:
Mine is 1 page. I never let it get longer, because most people I know don’t read past the first page. If it’s not important enough to go on page 1, it doesn’t need to exist on the resume.
- Comment on My new favourite password manager 6 months ago:
25+ character passwords that change frequently, at least in my case.
- Comment on Every really nice pen I have ever owned was because it somehow fell into my possession. I use them randomly sometimes as a special treat for myself. 7 months ago:
Every decent pen I’ve ever owned has just vanished. Glad I don’t really need them anymore, so I can avoid buying the cheapest ones possible.
- Comment on “Yeah, they’re gone”: Musk confirms cuts to X’s election integrity team — “‘Election Integrity’ Team.. was undermining election integrity,” Musk writes 7 months ago:
A standard was reached, and everyone except Tesla was on board, and now everyone is for some reason getting on board with yet another standard.
