- Comment on The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. 1 day ago:
There are many access points that are not routers.

Why would you think that a PC would need a loading screen when a PS5 doesn’t…?

Is what I was using before BookLore and it’s what I returned to.
- Comment on Just an FYI, but ErsatzTV is no longer maintained if you use it. 4 days ago:
One thing to note is that this is not software you expose publicly at all so it not being maintained isn’t the biggest deal in the world. The main concern will be media plays making changes that break it long term. And if you’re a an Emby/Jellyfin user, those softwares develop at a snails pace so you should be good for awhile.

Did you just call them lazy after making the argument that building talent and checks notes hard work is not worth doing in the modern tech landscape?
- Comment on Is it possible to have a usable domain without a VPS or a static IP address? 1 week ago:
What are you asking? You can just buy a domain whenever you want. You can use it on your server without a VPS or static IP.
Are you asking us how to make your services reachable at that domain publicly over the internet?
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 1 week ago:
I LOVE seeing AI-related CEOs come out and say stuff like this.
This is not something you come out and say publicly when you’re confident in your product and genuinely believe it stands on its own merits.
- Comment on DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH - PC Version Launch Trailer 1 week ago:
That’s why I adored the first game but couldn’t bring myself to finish the second.
- Comment on DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH - PC Version Launch Trailer 1 week ago:
You couldn’t zip line with the carrier initially, that came with the directors cut.
The zip line networks were definitely too strong in the first game, but that’s still leagues better than DS2 because with zip lines you at least have to complete a delivery to get the network online, then go out and set up your zip lines. It took some setup work.
In DS2 you just throw your cargo in a truck and go.

I got this response from a 70+ Catholic Priest. Quite literally nothing in this world is sacred or real anymore.
- Comment on Eric, Don Jr. invest in military drone company amid Iran war 1 week ago:
The people who voted him in are completely underwater in an ocean of perceived victimhood and exist in a state of existential distress and panic. Trump’s followers and the MAGA movement aren’t guided by morals or any particular set of virtues or personal conviction. They are victims of a culture war of their own creation and they are losing. They equate a the takeover of a sane government and righting-of-the-ship with death. They are not guided by logic or reason, they’re guided by fear.
You can’t look at these people and think “What’s it going to take?” As if there is some line somewhere that could be crossed that will change their minds. Thats not an option in the table. If saner heads prevail once again, it’s an indictment of their behavior and it means the death of the culture they’ve tried so hard to save. You wouldn’t look at a scared, cornered animal and ponder what it will take for it to stop being hostile.
On the other Shane, it’s important to understand that the people who elevated this regime to power are not representative of “The American People” as a whole, and the American system of government was not designed to put the full faith of the people into the president for an entire term. The fact that the midterms are happening this year, halfway through the presidents turn is not a coincidence, it’s a design baked into our system of government because the framers of the constitution understood that public sentiment can and will change more often than once every four years. And while it’s too early to know for sure, you can take solace in the fact that “the American people” have seemingly swung hard away from Trump since 2024, likely as a direct response to this administration, the same as last time.
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 1 week ago:
CIV VI really dives into board game-like qualities and while it’s a double edged sword, I think what it does, it does very well. There is room in the series for experimentation and trying new angles. The problem with VII is it doesn’t seem to even know what it wants to be or how it wants to do it. It’s unfortunately a mess that I don’t think they can fix.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
To be quite honest if IPads could just run Mac OS apps on it, it would be a dynamite device and I wouldn’t have even bought my MacBook. I bought an IPad for note taking, and basic work tasks I can do via SSH. The lack of desktop app support was the only thing that thing couldn’t do handily.

A hard coded DNS means nothing when it’s not connected to the internet
- Comment on MidnightBSD Bans Users in Brazil and California, Warns More Regions Could Follow 2 weeks ago:
An important thing to understand here is that in America, the people have the power over their government. The people of California are responsible for putting the people who did this in power, and it’s their responsibility for getting them out again.

- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 2 weeks ago:
Idk man by the sounds of it, the AI implemented the entire back end change, adding 14k lines of generated code. The dev doesn’t even seem confident with his own testing. Sounds like it’s closer to the vibe-coded end of the scale to me.
- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 2 weeks ago:
There’s a big difference between “AI was used in some capacity” and “Entirely vibe coded”

I still tune into TechQuickie every once in awhile and I noted how start the difference is between shows like that today and five years ago. All news is bad news anymore.
