Yes that’s what he’s saying.
- Comment on Tesla bait-and-switch: Cybertruck owners won't get Autosteer feature they paid for 1 week ago:
Nah thats the government’s ability to regulate.
He hasn’t defunded the courts, so private lawsuits can occur. (At least he hasn’t as of today, maybe he will tomorrow)
- Comment on Tesla bait-and-switch: Cybertruck owners won't get Autosteer feature they paid for 1 week ago:
But also may they sue for false advertising and cost Tesla legal fees and result in them being obligated to provide these services for free.
- Comment on Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories 1 week ago:
Same. And then when I believed it was real, I still thought it was some throwaway game, because that’s not just a gimmick, it’s a silly one.
I agree that if its fun for people, have fun, but I never could take the game seriously while a bunch of anime characters and freaking Goofy. Couldn’t get into the story.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 1 week ago:
Yeah that too.
I’m happy with mint I just wanted to see what it said.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 1 week ago:
I’d never heard of it so I tried it out, it seemed fine until the end where it listed about ten different distros with no real way to differentiate them.
Like, yeah, mint and Ubuntu and elementary and zorin and xubuntu all work for my use cases. I wanted it to give me a reason why one is better than another.
So, yeah, can’t recommend that website. It’s trying to help, but it won’t, really.

Plot twist, they quit.
- Comment on Congress Moving Forward On Unconstitutional Take It Down Act 2 weeks ago:
Here’s the text.
“Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.”
Impeachment is important and it should’ve happened, but the senate literally can’t do anything except remove him from office, and the impeachment text specifically allows for regular law to also apply to whoever got impeached.
So no, we do not have this covered by impeachment, and no former president is immune from regular legal proceedings.
Current presidents are, though, through supreme court precedent and the self-pardon. Former presidents should not automatically get this benefit though.
- Comment on Congress Moving Forward On Unconstitutional Take It Down Act 2 weeks ago:
No.
Of course even the president has a right to due process, but no. If the president commits treason, he doesn’t get to be immune to that. A trial is warranted and an arrest if found guilty is correct.
Yes, corruption could hypothetically rig such a trial. But a president immune from the consequences of his actions means there only needs to be one person corrupted to ruin a whole branch of government, instead of the hundreds it would take Congress to rig a trial.
- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 2 weeks ago:
No that seems likely.
Evidence that would damn them here being in a court record makes it admissible elsewhere for a crime that isn’t even prosecuted yet.
They’re cutting off their foot to save their leg, here, since this isn’t particularly secretive, seeing how we know about it.
- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 2 weeks ago:
Companies don’t get jail time.
Sure, technically an individual could, but generally the actual destruction is an employee doing what they’re told to do. They’re somewhat complicit but the real problem is the c-suite people.
I unfortunately don’t know when this last happened or any specific details on what the penalty would be, but I feel fairly confident that this law falls under the “cost of doing business” part of illegal corporate activity. I wish it didn’t.
- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 2 weeks ago:
Nah it’s illegal to deliberately destroy data to impede investigations. You don’t need to have an open investigation for that to be the case.
It remains legal to get rid of old files to free up space or if you genuinely believe they aren’t necessary, though, so you need to prove intent.
If there’s a subpeona or something, their destruction is itself a crime, but under this law, its the intent to defraud the courts that’s illegal, and that intent is always illegal.
The law exists specifically for this situation. Purging important business documents preemptively is clearly not OK.

They have actually started doing that already. At least musk has.

It’s possible to not realize you’re complicit or not realize the depth of it.
When this happens like it did, you do briefly become someone who is getting blood money. She took this chance to interfere with their event.

Yeah same, OP’s was definitely a mistake. I think she’s just here for us two.
- Comment on How to transfer a lot of data? 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t used raidz but a quick search tells me it supports single-drive expansion.
Maybe reconfigure your raidz as a 2-drive system, then copy over all your data into it, and expand it back into a 3-drive system after.
- Comment on At this point I think I would 1 month ago:
Pretty sure it’d fry the power supply. Thats my first bet, is that it wouldn’t even get through it.
If it did pass through, it could fry your electronics. A USB killer is a short pulse, and not at all strong compared to main, so I expect that it’d act more like if a neutral was floating, than an actual surge at the voltage a USB killer usually gets to.
No idea for sure though and I’m not an electrician.
- Comment on Important information about compatibility of Nintendo Switch games with Nintendo Switch 2 1 month ago:
In addition to the joycons mentioned, they sell a standalone charger stand.
So they could sit next to the switch 2, on a dedicated stand.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 1 month ago:
Nah the direct didn’t claim 4k at 120.
You get 1080p at 120, or 4k at 60.

www.nintendo.com/us/…/mario-kart-world/
Scroll down a good amount, 79.99$ MSRP for Mario kart world. Thats not a guarantee they’ll all be 80$. The new donkey Kong is 70$. No official word on other games, though.

Probably Mac users, but I hope I make someone one of today’s lucky 10,000.
- Comment on What kind of CAPTCHA is this? 1 month ago:
Windows key. The graphic itself is what they used from windows 8-10.
Super key in Linux, command key in macOS.
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 1 month ago:
You do need to forward the port in some routers.
Or connect via Ethernet cable and avoid the router, if possible.
But yeah, once any initial little hiccups are done, its actually very smooth, opening Minecraft takes longer.
Also that can turn on cheats in a world where cheats are disabled.
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 1 month ago:
Yeah you play single player, pause, and hit “open to lan”
Then someone else can connect to lan by typing in the IP. I think it autodetects a lan connection that’s already open, too, but it’s been a bit since I’ve used it.
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 2 months ago:
Well at one point to be a computer gamer you basically needed to put together your own desktop PC.
Integrated GPUs basically were only capable of displaying a desktop, not doing anything a game would need, and desktop CPUs didn’t integrate graphics at all, generally.
So computer-building knowledge was a given. If you were a PC gamer, you had a custom computer for the purpose.
As a result, even as integrated GPUs became better and more capable, the general crowd of gamers didn’t trust them, because it was common knowledge they sucked.
It’s a lot like how older people go “They didn’t teach you CURSIVE?” in schools nowadays. Being a gamer and being a PC builder are fully seperatable, now, but they learned PC building when they weren’t and therefore think you should have that, too.
It’s fine, don’t sweat it. You’re not missing out on anything, really, anyway. Especially given the current GPU situation, it’s never been a worse time to be a PC builder or enthusiast.

- Comment on After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad 2 months ago:
They said UI, so I don’t think they meant features. But honestly I’ve never been unhappy with their UI, aside from one day with multiple replaces across a few files where the autofill from clipboard kept deleting the expression I wanted to be in there as I navigated through what I needed to do.
But that was fine, anyway, it got through it and I’m just happy with the “apply to all open documents” setting. Saved me at least an hour.
- Comment on Skyblivion - The Path to Release (Development Update) 4 months ago:
Its likely what we’d get would be a tool to create a normal mod. The tool checks for their requirements and when satisfied, rips oblivion files and repackages them.
So a clean skyrim installed to create the mod with the tool, but once the tool is done, you could remove the clean install and use it like any other mod.
This has been my experience with other “created from copyrighted works” overhauls, like rollercoaster tycoon for openrct2.
- Comment on TSMC suspended shipments to China firm after chip found on Huawei processor, sources say 6 months ago:
Countries willing to pass on a US patent to China stop getting the chips (or, in this case, chip-making jobs, realistically, but that still hurts)
Also Taiwan doesn’t wanna help China and even if a US sanction was just an excuse to hurt China and get away with it they’d probably do it.
