- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 12 hours ago:
Does 10/10 mean it’s got RAM and drives accessible without needing to disassemble the whole fucking thing?
Nice to see both aren’t soldered onto the motherboard, but we’ve still gone backwards in the last 20 years.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 22 hours ago:
They’re clearly going for the same thing on all devices at some point. There’s a lot of money to be made locking shit down and keeping your users hostage.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 23 hours ago:
Flipping between Tomb Raider Chronicles and Spiderman 2.
- Comment on Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law 1 day ago:
Sure, but I don’t really want to share a reality with people who do.
It’s making them not right.
- Comment on oh fuck 😨 1 day ago:
He certainly liked the N word.
Although most of it was probably his schizophrenia talking. I figure somebody who made an entire OS because he though God told him to, can’t be held 100% responsible for his actions…

Well there is a plan, it’s just “make them in countries where you can still have slaves”.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 day ago:
They do that anyway, but usually prices going down.
e.g. yellow stickers going on things that will expire soon.
You’ve not lived if you haven’t watched two pensioners fight to the death over a 20p pack of Greek yoghurt.
- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 1 day ago:
Probably partly down to the price of PC parts. I haven’t upgraded mine since I got a 1060.
A machine that could run PS4 titles better can be a Steam Deck. A machine that can run PS5 titles better is like £1200.
And tbh, I doubt they’re selling many PS5 Pros either. PS5 graphics are plenty good enough. They run at 60fps which is all most people were after when going from console to a PC. People obsessing over the latest all singing, all dancing raytracing are few and far between. 5090s are likely being bought for AI use.
We just want games.

The UK was constantly bribing car makers to stay, and most of them still fucked off.

They can be rescued when they pay all their back taxes they’ve been boasting about saving.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 3 days ago:
At this point I feel we’d just be immunising the rest of the universe from human stupidity.

- Comment on 390TB video game archive being taken offline due to skyrocketing RAM, SSD, and hard drive prices — AI-driven supply squeeze results in closure of one of the largest online video game archives 4 days ago:
Shit, you could probably fit everything before the DVD era on a single drive.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 4 days ago:
Two of the Supreme Court Justices he appointed? Believe it or not, lunatic left.
- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 4 days ago:
I know that. You know that. Antonio Banderas knows that. But Americans are funny about race. They didn’t count Italians as white. They didn’t even count the Irish as white.
But a line gets drawn somewhere I guess, and without exception it gets drawn where the wealth disparities arise.
- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 5 days ago:
Hispanic are like Spanish but poor.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 5 days ago:
They’ll arrest the jury.
I mean, yeah, they’re not allowed to do that, but since when has that stopped this regime?

That’s the new Disney sponsored immigration detention centre, Mouschwitz.
- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 1 week ago:
I think they’re bitmaps on Blu-rays as well. Just higher resolution.
Streaming tends to use text formats.
- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 1 week ago:
It’s a little fuzzy, but that’s OK on a lot of older movies (especially lower budget ones) because they were always a little fuzzy to start with.
You can have all the pixels you want, but you’re not going to get a lot of extra detail out of Critters or Masters of the Universe.
- Comment on Political leaning 1 week ago:
At least their heart’s in the right place.
- Comment on I've probably seen more naked ladies than my entire bloodline combined 1 week ago:
Especially if your grandparents were swingers.
I could have done without knowing that but there we are…
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 1 week ago:
It’s ok, they can paint over the smoke damage and get a new tenant.
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 1 week ago:
Mine expired and decided to sing me the song of their people at 4am.
That was an exciting night, I’ll tell you that…

Are we sure that’s not just a weirdly angled picture of a chihuahua or muffin?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Petrol of course being famously non flammable.
- Comment on Facebook is absolutely cooked 1 week ago:
What mine shows me is mostly racism and xenophobia. I mean, they know I’m white. Figured they might as well just shoot their shot.
Meanwhile it’s utterly terrible at the one thing it’s supposed to do. I’m got a few old friends and family members on there. Not super close or anything, but the kind of people you’d be vaguely interested in seeing if they had cancer or had babies or anything. Didn’t show me those events at all.
Like, what is even the point of it other than a US far-right psy-op?

OK, and Discord, Facebook, etc? Or do they just lobby better?
- Comment on BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games (Demon's Souls/Shadow of the Colossus remakes) 1 week ago:
Hey guys, I know you made really good remasters of classic single-player games, but can you make us something nobody on this motherfucking Earth asked for?
Oh wait, we don’t want you do do that any more.
Why aren’t you making us any money?

Even the aliens have been to the Epstein Islands.
