- Comment on NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules 1 month ago:
also: “password is too long, max password length is 12 digits”
Why… like, sure, cap it at 256 or something reasonable. but ive run into as low as 9 digits.
- Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive” 2 months ago:
Unlike other platforms, we store your files for as long as you need them, so it is crucial that we manage our storage sustainably
I mean, its great that they offer that, but all my files dont need to be permemnant. I would love the ability to review and delete old files
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
I’m not sure if you are saying what i said (that someone in charge sending his minions to harass someone is closer to authoritarianism), or him.
I definitely should have used the word “communism” in my sentence, but since he used socialism, i didn’t want to change the subject from socialism to communism.
- Comment on Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now? 2 months ago:
facebook keeps pushing ‘vegans are evil’ and ‘lets make milk mean raw milk again’ posts on me.
Just… stop. let me enjoy my friends and groups
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Thats… kind of the opposite of socialism. Socialism, at least the ideal form, is when the ‘workers hold the means of production’, with no figure heads. This is closer to authoritarianism, with a charismatic leader commanding people to do things.
- Comment on FTC urged to make smart devices say how long they will be supported 2 months ago:
this is so infuriating
I have a Hatch, which i have programed for my babies bed time, just play white noise sound at this time, turn off this sound in the morning, play bird song when hes supposed to wake up
I specifically got the older model, since the newer model has a lot of these basic features locked behind a paywall, while the old one they are just free.
Went traveling, and without a wifi connection it wont even do this. Apparently making an alarm clock remember its settings without a wifi connection is too much work.

i loved that it was an option. not sure why it was changed.

fair enough, guess i for got that from… holy shit, has it been 8 years already???
- Comment on Overwatch 2 is finally bringing back 6v6 with tests to decide OW’s future 3 months ago:
i played hundred of hours of OW1, bought a OWL jersey, went to a couple live games…
Never bothered to install OW2. It was just too clearly the same game with worse monetization.
- Comment on xkcd #2962: President Venn Diagram 3 months ago:
yea, they are usually so apolitical! Love to see the support.
- Comment on “Immensely disappointing”: Nike killing app for $350 self-tying sneakers 4 months ago:
it shouldnt be TOO hard to make it safe: just add a lanyard style breakaway at the back of the next. light tug pops the tie off.
You could make it simply self tighten, saving you one arm movement.
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 6 months ago:
for sure! i bought it really early on, and it was amazing.
Just wish that they hadn’t bodged it so bad.
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 6 months ago:
that, and fix some of the spegheti code from KSP 1. I love the game, but no one argued that it wasnt a hack job
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 6 months ago:
Thats what i want to know, i use Authy, and want to know if its worth switching for.
- Comment on Meta spent $4.3 billion on its VR division in three months, and made *checks figures* $440 million in return 6 months ago:
Meta is valued at 1.12 Trillion, which, sure, is only ~1/2 of Apples 2.6 Trillion… but Meta could invest in VR for the next 20 years without feeling the pain.
I do love my Q2 and Q3, and hope they keep pushing VR forward, which is the main (maybe only) reason i was happy to see apple join the competition.
- Comment on Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets 6 months ago:
Yea, mine has a swappable front end, but just downs seem worth it.
Ended up getting a Bluetooth adapter from Ali which works well.
- Comment on Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets 6 months ago:
Yea, a portion of my problem is the bad implementation of Bluetooth in my 2013 Subaru Impreza.
It just wouldn’t support Bluetooth reconnects.
But in the end, if a friend is in the car nothing is quicker and easier than just plugging them in.
- Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt 6 months ago:
had the exact same thought.
If you wanted it to be unbiased, you wouldnt tell it its position in a lot of items.
- Comment on Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets 6 months ago:
I have come to love my bluetooth earbuds… but darn when im in the car i just wanna plug my phone in some times.
- Comment on Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever” 8 months ago:
still think its crazy that online match making is a paid service on consoles.
remember when microsoft tried to do the same with PCs?
- Comment on TikTok Is Destroying Itself From the Inside Out 9 months ago:
the same but opposite. YT pushes shorts to compete with Tiktok. Tiktok pushes longform content to compete with YT
- Comment on Americans are asleep, post European windows 9 months ago:
I love EU windows, and i looked at them when i redid my windows recently… but i just couldn’t justify the increase i price.
Of course, my windows are horizontal sliders
- Comment on USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray! 9 months ago:
Definitely get what you are saying, but I already trust the charger to take 120-240v AC to 5-48v DC.
Going from 9.0 to 8.85v is a much smaller regulation
- Comment on USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray! 9 months ago:
Yea, i do think it will help, primarily with battery charging.
Right now, in order to protect the battery, the phone will request 9v, then step it down as the battery charges, and send a reduced voltage to the battery, so over time the battery might see 9v… 8.95vm 8.9v, 8.85v…
This allows the step down to happen at the charger, instead of in the phone, increasing efficiency, and reducing heat in the phone.

you wrote it? Cool!
I’ve really been loving USB PD, and retrofit into several devices i use. My big next interest is the USB PPS, allowing devices to request extermly minute adjustments to the voltage, instead of just “9v”
- Comment on USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray! 9 months ago:
yea, i really rolled my eyes when i saw it was 5v at 5 amps. Seriouly, give us a more sane connection!
