- Comment on Reddit revamps gold system with opportunities to earn real money for posts 1 year ago:
Question is who is just throwing $2 at comments? Should users just cut out the middleman and post their Venmo/Patreon handles or something?
If the app stores take a 30% cut then they are making 60cents off the $2 and Reddit takes in 40¢ while the user gets $1.
Just pay me the dollar directly, be sure to upvote, comment below and subscribe for more comments like this.

Reddit’s post was distinctly non-specific about the dollar amounts people can expect to see
Lol, so basically “we might give you money if we feel like it”.

What Coke offshoots have actually landed? Like Zero, Diet, Cherry, Vanilla and maybe Lemon?
- Comment on Should I putchase a 4-year-old nVidia TV Pro, another technology, or wait for next Gen? 1 year ago:
HLG, AV1, QMS, VP9 Profile 2 (YouTube HDR) and faster menus would make me want to upgrade from my 2017 Shield as that’d improve watching videos.

That does look pretty slick! Definitely something I will have to look into more.

Are there decent camera systems that allow you to self-host everything?
- Comment on Apple A17 Pro SoC Within Reach of Intel i9-13900K in Single-Core Performance 1 year ago:
7600K - 1481 ST 13600K - 2654 ST 13700K - 2820 ST 13900K - 2955 ST
So to answer the question something like an 80% improvement over 2016, roughly 2x if you compare it to a 2016 i5. And the 13900K does have the highest single thread performance in the 13th-gen models from what I can tell.

This voids the cloths warranty.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
It might actually be the port is jammed up with dust on the devices you have used so it couldn’t fully insert and lock in. Being that lightning is a decent sized hole lint gets in there and then when you plug the cable in you compact it all down and it eventually keeps you from fully inserting the cable but it can often still charge though sometimes it is a bit finicky. I clean my out about once a year due to this, haven’t noticed in 3 years of owning a device wearing out the clippy/spring dodads.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
Lightning has the divots in the sides of the cable and then two idk spring loaded bits that press in there on the phone side. It’s insanely secure, one could argue possibly too much, but I can hang my phone from the cord and it won’t fall out.
Now that’s not to say USB-C is bad like it falls out or anything, just that it takes more force to disconnect a lightning cable than USB-C.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
You can charge faster than 10W using Lightning to USB-C

- Comment on WhatsApp Will Soon Let Users Share Photos in HD 1 year ago:
“HD” pictures? So like 1megapixel (720p) or 2megapixels (1080p)? What could you do before the change 0.3MP (640x480)?
- Comment on Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations 1 year ago:
Finally a normal safe corporate response rather than further digging a hole for themselves.
- Comment on Tipping 'nudges' are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don't leave a gratuity, you'll hear about it. 1 year ago:
The fact I’m getting asked to leave a tip before the service is rendered is what drives me really nuts. I’ve tipped on things and got terrible service and there is no way to adjust your tip down (and it can even be hard to increase it if they really do go above and beyond in some way).
- Comment on A feud is heating up between Arizona workers and the world's leading chipmaker after the company claimed the US doesn't have the skills to build its new factory 1 year ago:
Sounds like Arizona doesn’t have enough chip knowledge, which is believable because there are no other chip or silicon manufacturing in the state.
Intel has multiple fabs in Arizona and is building 20A fabs there.

It sounds like you don’t understand the problem.

- Comment on Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla's Supercharger empire 1 year ago:
The cords are too short for most non-Tesla vehicles and I don’t believe all stations can speak CCS, so they will still have to do some updates
- Comment on Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla's Supercharger empire 1 year ago:
Also cars that require higher octane can be slightly harder to find.

Also I want to be able to pay via a credit card and not deal with half a dozen different apps and we are all golden.
- Comment on With The 745-mile Solid-state Battery, Toyota Just Became A Force To Reckon With 1 year ago:
It’ll be a much smaller solid state battery in a hybrid, they wouldn’t put enough batteries in it to hit 745 miles. I assume they would use at most 10% of the cells a 745mile vehicle would need could be under 5%.
- Comment on With The 745-mile Solid-state Battery, Toyota Just Became A Force To Reckon With 1 year ago:
the first vehicles with this battery are expected to be hybrids instead of all-electric vehicles. Toyota claims it will be ready for sale in 2027 or 2028.
This tells me we probably need to wait until 2030+ for this supposed 745mile battery.
