- Comment on You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised 8 hours ago:
I know they’re convenient, but people should really stop using cloud-based password managers and start using local ones. I personally recommend KeepassXC.
- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 1 day ago:
While constant current sources exist, they’re very uncommon. A battery’s voltage is constant (or at least we consider it so), but the current it can supply is dependent on the load. In general, we consider current to be a result of voltage, to the extent that some teachers prefer that Ohm’s Law be written as I = V/R (rather than V=IR) to show this relationship more clearly (where I is current, V is voltage and R is resistance).
- Comment on Rayman 30th anniversary has save data bug and Ubisoft support says post launch support has ended 1 day ago:
It’s clearly a feature - the inability to save just enhances Rayman’s incredibly brutal difficulty.

I criticise Emma Stone’s plan not to sleep with me.
- Comment on Why is no news channel reporting on the school shooting in Canada? 4 days ago:
…the same news that apparently isn’t reporting on it?

As far as I know, they don’t - I have tried reading OP’s comment about 5 times and I have no idea what they’re talking about.

Big LEGO for toddlers
- Comment on Why is no news channel reporting on the school shooting in Canada? 4 days ago:
…if it wasn’t reported on, how did you hear about it in the first place?

That’s what your tax dollars are for.
Take your entitlements - you’re entitled to them.

True.
- Comment on Advertisements 5 days ago:
Ads are one of the biggest vectors for malware. Even if the main reason you’re blocking them is just because they’re annoying, it’s one of the best things you can do for online safety. Also, the reason tech companies are collecting every single piece of data they can about you is to serve you more targeted ads - if every ad was blocked, data brokers would have no reason to exist.
If you’re running an OPNSense or PFSense router, put Adguard on it. If you’ve got a Raspberry Pi lying around, install Pihole on it. Stop using Chrome and install UBlock Origin on your new browser. Do your small part to make the internet a safer place, and get shown less advertising to boot.
- Comment on Video cable for Dreamcast 5 days ago:
If your CRT supports 480p, then component is probably 99.99% of the way there. Colours are technically more accurate with RGB (whether through SCART or VGA), but the difference between TV sets is going to be far bigger than the difference between component and RGB.

- Comment on You can either get away with everything, or you can't 1 week ago:
This isn’t really relevant to the meme, but I thought I’d say this for those who need to hear it.
The middle class is made up. You either work for a living or own things for a living.
- Comment on I'd be so good at that 1 week ago:
I’m so tired of manually giving all these women orgasms, I’m going to invent a machine to do it for me.

It’s still true to within a year or two anyway.

The Xbox 360 is as old now as the NES was when it came out.

- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
You mean to tell me that the kind of people who didn’t have to buy one at launch aren’t convinced by a library consisting almost entirely of: games they already own on Switch 1, games available for less money on other platforms, DK Bananza, and MK World?

It’s been years since I’ve used Windows at home, but I still have a Firefox installer exe hanging around on my server on the offchance I ever need to use it again. Thanks for showing me it’s no longer necessary.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 month ago:
Is “must make the dumbest fucking decision possible at all times” in the Mozilla CEO job description or something?
I have no CEO experience, but I’ll make stupid fucking decisions for a fifth of the salary you’re paying the current guy.

- Comment on It's kind of funny how many late 90s games had at least one drum and bass track 2 months ago:
I think Wipeout was probably the progenitor of this - the entire pitch of the game was basically “Futuristic racer set to techno bangers”, and I think a lot of other games followed suit with their soundtracks.
Check out Sean Seanson’s PSX Club Mixes for some absolute bops and a nostalgia hit.

Best song in the game. I will die on this hill.
- Comment on I bought an Ender 3 V3 (corexz) recently, and have been having bed adhesion issues. Please help me interpret this bed adhesion test result 2 months ago:
Of course, but it doesn’t all wipe away. The remaining part is what you need to make sure evaporates.

It looks like you’ve fixed, it, but I’ll share my 2c anyway:
Iso takes much longer to evaporate fully than it looks. Even though it’s volatile, the texture of the build plate gives a lot of extra surface area for it to cling to. Because of this, I found that waiting overnight after cleaning with iso would completely eliminate my adhesion problems.

You have to be really careful trying to buy physical copies nowadays, too, since bootlegs are absolutely everywhere. Especially on Ebay.
