- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 18 hours 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 1 day 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.

Either way you’re just going over the internet. There will be overhead, but not enough to be that big a deal.

We still blaming basic OpSec mistakes on Proton?
- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 4 days 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.

There’s a big difference between “AI was used in some capacity” and “Entirely vibe coded”

It’s a show about tech news?
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 6 days ago:
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.

That’s a shame because Lidl is the only affordable grocery store to begin with around here.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 1 week ago:
The law was designed this way specifically so that people won’t fight it as hard because it doesn’t provide any verification requirements. That bill would come later once the outrage over this has waned and the age gating becomes normalized in the local culture so that people just shrug off the verification requirement in the future

System 76 have very controversially committed to supporting this in Pop OS, so there would be at least one Linux option.
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 1 week ago:
I never had a problem installing Debian on those Wyze boxes back in the day.
I have a couple Minisforum boxes at work with Linux on them running some metric monitors. And I have a Beelink s12 pro that does an absolutely beastly job at being my Jellyfin server.
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 1 week ago:
Not sure why they would be. There are plenty of these on the market already with no issues accessing the bootloader or installing other OSs on them. Same goes for Microsoft Surface device, Chromebooks, etc.
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 1 week ago:
This is horrifying in that it signals a concerted push towards getting consumers on cloud computing.
But in terms of self hosting your own computer these actually look great, especially if they’re subsidized to get you into a subscription fee. As long as we can break into the bootloader and run Linux on these, they look to be very capable and efficient small compute box. Self hosters and homelabbers will be licking their lips.
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 1 week ago:
Far more, in fact.
- Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 1 week ago:
Self-hosters will be all over these
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam 1 week ago:
The last 10 years or so, there was a sort of “Old RE” and “New RE” set of fans. The new games have really kept their distance from existing lore, and the gameplay has been very different from the older games.
This is the first new Resident Evil game in a long time that promises to bring the old lore back to the forefront, as well as merging the two styles of game.

A big part of science is proving long held assumptions.
- Comment on YSK that treatments for back pain can cost thousands. But some of the best fixes are actually free 2 weeks ago:
If any part of your spine is out of place that’s a serious medical issue that cannot be resolved by “Cracking it back into place”.
The cracking in your spine is synovial fluid changing from a liquid to gaseous state. The relief you feel after this happens is primarily in your mind as a sort of placebo effect.
- Comment on Data centers are now hoarding SSDs as hard drive supplies dry up 2 weeks ago:
No. AI companies have huge storage requirements for training data. Flash storage is not cost efficient for mass storage quantities.
