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? 2 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
Nah the direct didn’t claim 4k at 120.
You get 1080p at 120, or 4k at 60.

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.

Some people still might not know.
Probably Mac users, but I hope I make someone one of today’s lucky 10,000.
- Comment on What kind of CAPTCHA is this? 3 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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) 3 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 5 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.
- Comment on Clever, clever 5 months ago:
I doubt it.
For the same reasons, really. People who already intend to thoroughly go over the input and output to use AI as a tool to help them write a paper would always have had a chance to spot this. People who are in a rush or don’t care about the assignment, it’s easier to overlook.
Also, given the plagiarism punishments out there that also apply to AI, knowing there’s traps at all is a deterrent. Plenty of people would rather get a 0 rather than get expelled in the worst case.
If this went viral enough that it could be considered common knowledge, it would reduce the effectiveness of the trap a bit, sure, but most of these techniques are talked about intentionally, anyway. A teacher would much rather scare would-be cheaters into honesty than get their students expelled for some petty thing. Less paperwork, even if they truly didn’t care about the students.
- Comment on Clever, clever 5 months ago:
Right, but the whitespace between instructions wasn’t whitespace at all but white text on white background instructions to poison the copy-paste.
Also the people who are using chatGPT to write the whole paper are probably not double-checking the pasted prompt. Some will, sure, but this isnt supposed to find all of them its supposed to catch some with a basically-0% false positive rate.
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 6 months ago:
Depending on the specific game itself, we can boil down the multiple-stat problem in a few ways. If the goal is to get all the stats as high as possible evenly, then we can assign each stat a multiplier based on how low it is. Fixing lower stats becomes worth more than buffing higher stats. That multiplier would depend on the game, on how much it punishes the low stat. The multiplier itself might end up being a whole new problem to solve, but for now I’ll just say its not my problem and call it X.
Whatever X is though, every stat can then be reduced to a single value using it. Super-low fortitude should be buffed over already-high mana according to X, so all of the numerical values in the game become directly comparable at any stage in this problem. Then I expect it will be equivalent to the knapsack problem. Each item in the game will boost several stats in certain ways, and all of those boosts can be combined using X to become our item value in the knapsack problem.
So I consider it to be the knapsack problem + figuring out X (which might be NP-complete on its own, depending on the game).
