I was surprised to see that both left and right joycons have the mouse functionality. Was cool to see it in action with the wheelchair basketball game.

What about a flying machine?

It doesn’t make sense to use automobiles. Imagine having to build out paved roads everywhere and also set up stations along these roads to refuel. Just completely impractical.
- Comment on In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. 4 days ago:
Noooooo!!! You can’t just force us to use a Microsoft account!!! You have to allow us to use the bypasserino!!! Noooooooo!!!

They’re totally pissing.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 weeks ago:
“return the hostages and kick out Hamas, and new options will open for you–including relocation to other parts of the world for those who choose. The alternative is destruction and total devastation.”
So the choice is either ethnic cleansing with some genocide or ethnic cleansing with total genocide. This is completely unacceptable, yet there are those who argue that we must accept it and merely choose “the lesser of two evils” with the reason being that it could be worse. However, this only emboldens the evil and they will continue driving to make things worse and worse anyway.

- Comment on Alibaba doubles down on RISC-V architecture with a new secretive 'server-grade' chip that will put AMD and Intel on alert 3 weeks ago:
I’m excited to see more competition! I also like how RISC-V is based on open source work which reduces startup costs and opens up greater collaboration. We’ve all benefited greatly from open source software, so it would be nice to see more of that on the hardware side as well. I’ll be shocked if the chip actually competes on performance, though it may be more of a cost-for-performance deal like ARM. Speaking of which, I wonder how it’ll compare with ARM server processors as well.
- Comment on Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now 3 weeks ago:
This isn’t extensive, but when looking up products on amazon through camelcamelcamel that existed in 2023 and now, the trend matches up:

I’m just happy to get rid of that shit.
- Comment on Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now 3 weeks ago:
SSDs were even cheaper until memory manufacturers decided it was getting too cheap: tomshardware.com/…/ssd-prices-predicted-to-skyroc…
They predicted prices would go higher and, through the magic of intentionally constricting supply, it happened. Prices still have not dropped back down to where they were in 2023.

Just wait until they come out with DDR4 SAM.
- Comment on The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses 3 weeks ago:
It’d be a decent deal now, but this launches in 2027, by which point this would be underwhelming.

I am continually blown away by how little self-awareness this clown has.
- Comment on Norway more than doubles Ukraine aid to $7.8 billion in 2025 3 weeks ago:
What makes the comment weak and trumpish? They bring up a good point in that Europe has delayed this level of support until now. Why did they wait so long on something so important when that level of support earlier on could’ve prevented Russia from daring to push further? Is that not the purpose of having Ukraine join NATO, to give a security guarantee that would stop Russia from even thinking of invading in the future? Yes, the support now is good, but we have to look at the situation critically to understand how we can do better in the future.
- Comment on The Take It Down Act isn’t a law, it’s a weapon 3 weeks ago:
It’s not mutually exclusive. Laws are wielded as weapons all the time.
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 4 weeks ago:
Stick to SEARCH, not making shit up (euphemistically called “hallucinating”).

This only makes me want to pirate Nintendo games.
- Comment on What was your favorite shareware game? 4 weeks ago:
Monster Bash! It was one of the better-playing platformers on the PC back in the day and I loved the halloween aesthetic.

You know what? They should be broken up even harder.

So much delicious food on display, I have to hold myself back from buying too much every time.

- Comment on People never understand the sacrifices I make for them. 5 weeks ago:
Some days at work I’ve got only half-hour gaps between meetings. I don’t care how adept people are at taking meetings, no one is going to get proper thinking work done in those gaps. If it was repetitive work, sure, you could get back into the groove of things, but even that takes some wind up time. Even worse if you’re in-office and expected to attend the meetings in-person.

Now have it stand on the ground without supports.
- Comment on Every hour children spend on screens raises chance of myopia, study finds 5 weeks ago:
and depending on where they hang out on the internet, figurative myopia too!
But yeah, staring at a close distance for long periods of time tends to lead to nearsightedness in general. However, I’ve got myopia but not as bad as my siblings who spent less time in front of the screen growing up. Genetics plays a role too, among other factors.

Better that than a nonconsensual call out of nowhere.
- Comment on Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs 1 month ago:
It’s too bad the CPU path for PhysX is crappy. It would be a good use of the many cores/threads we have available to us these days.

- Comment on AI Can Now Replicate Itself 1 month ago:
In the first, the AI model was programmed to detect whether it was about to be shut down and to replicate itself before it could be terminated. In the other, the AI was instructed to clone itself and then program its replica to do the same – setting up a cycle that could continue indefinitely.
Like how any regular application can be instructed to copy itself i.e. a computer worm? Not exactly shocking for a computer program to do.
