- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 17 hours ago:
Feels like something systemd can solve with a compile time flag. Either have it on or off depending on if you want to legally sell it in those areas or not and away you go.
- Comment on Micron says driverless cars and robots will need 300GB of RAM 22 hours ago:
Nah, it just needs a team of Indian guys to step in whenever the collision alarms go off.

He really is still salty Scotland built some and spoiled the view off his golf course.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive 1 day ago:
Wow, that doesn’t sound like a pyramid scheme at all. At all.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
It was just a regular walking sim. Didn’t really do a lot that other walking sims didn’t.
If your game doesn’t feature shooting, platforming or sportsball, then you’re already off the mainstream slop, and you’re going to have to accept that you’re going to make less money by targeting niche audiences.
FWIW, I liked it. But I can see why a lot of people wouldn’t be interested. You’re dealing with a world where people’s “game collections” are just 6 yearly iterations of CoD and FIFA.
- Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon 6 days ago:
Only a matter of time before they call it something else and the world’s media just pretends it’s always been part of Israel.

Turns out the military under Trump is more a “fuck that town in particular” affair.
- Comment on Meta: Shit post on shitpost 1 week ago:
Many years ago, I went to some stately home National Trust type place with my missus.
At one point she “had to go”, so we ran to the toilet and she was in there for ages.
Eventually she came out. “Go, go…” she ushered me away.
Behind her another woman was coming out. She looked like a picture of a WW1 soldier that had just been mustard gassed.
I’ve never been more proud.
- Comment on DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH - PC Version Launch Trailer 1 week ago:
Yeah, there’s quite a lot of that.
It’s basically an unholy hybrid of Metal Gear Solid, Euro Truck Simulator and QWOP.
It’s standard Kojima fare. Bonkers story, badly written women, and sad music. It’s really Reedus, Mads and Troy holding the games together.
- Comment on DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH - PC Version Launch Trailer 1 week ago:
Honestly didn’t like it as much as the first one.
Better combat but worse story and an over-reliance on vehicles.
Sure looks nice though.
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 1 week ago:
Sure, I love it when a 50KB app takes 50MB because some cunt designer only knows HTML.
- Comment on Train delays: compensation claims to be easier under Great British Railways 1 week ago:
Good. There only times I’ve tried to use it I’ve been fobbed right off.

- Comment on Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you 2 weeks ago:
That’s the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.

16GB
- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 2 weeks ago:
I often have to kill it because it refuses to load things on new tabs.
I do use a VPN extension with it, so it could be that, but the result is the same.
- Comment on We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happened 2 weeks ago:
You mean the slopomatic made up looking article that ran everywhere despite looking as genuine as a three pound note? The one with real “it’s true my uncle works for Bill Gates” energy? That article?
- Comment on NVIDIA could enter the desktop CPU market with performance equal to AMD and Intel 2 weeks ago:

In any case it sounds like a reason to actually read what the oauth login screens are actually telling you…
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
Because MS will throw any amount of losses at this to keep themselves in the game.
Plus making games deliberately incompatible with the GabeCube will be trivial if it comes to that.
Valve can throw a lot of resources behind what they’re doing, but it’s a drop in the ocean compared to what MS can spend. At the end of the day Valve can only really match current consumer pricing, and even with 16GB RAM and 8GB GPU, that isn’t cheap.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, if the Series S could have run my Steam library, I’d have got one years ago when it was cheap.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
You think the average person will buy a more expensive box that doesn’t play COD, FIFA, etc?
