Not hard, snoopy everytime.
- Comment on Auto update 5 days ago:
Windows has this to if you know about it and then take like 10 min to set it up. Winget will update apps for you in the background or you can use the version someone built to use a UI to set it up called UniGetUI. I use it and it updates everything for me with no interaction. Im not thrilled with windows, but im just pointing out that it exists.

Whats with the weird shower thoughts lately? They all been wayyyy out there. I thought these were supposed to be fun and clever.
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 1 week ago:
Thanks! That makes sense. Although it’s not really others if you ask me, its themselves. I’m sure they would argue otherwise. No accountability and it’s only getting worse.
- Comment on Get on that grindset 1 week ago:
That sounds horrible. So what do they do with the kids born with issues? Are the wealthy just going to send the kid to be adopted or somehow make it legal to dispose of babies?

I got real happy last weekend, and it wasn’t on life!

If they are being stored on his servers then he absolutely should be, and whoever else is in charge of that company. If that was found on any regular persons pc it would be over, so why not here.

Whats with the presentation? Looks like those memes where they shame dogs who did bad things.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 week ago:
I have tried out a bunch of Linux ones last year and I will be converting over my main PC at some point this year due to all the things they have done or want to do with Windows 11. I agree it’s very hard to ignore.

Yup, its the oldest ongoing game show and will be it’s 55th season this year hosted by Drew Carey.

It’s also pretty dangerous since you’re effectively depriving your brain of oxygen so honestly just smoke weed instead.
- Comment on "Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo? 1 week ago:
Can confirm, mine does this lol. It’s 9nly a slight freeze and I use it as an advantage to keep things prone to expiring quicker near that area to prolong its life a bit.
- Comment on NJ’s """answer""" to flooding: it has bought out and demolished 1,200 properties 1 week ago:
Agreed, especially since there are probably plenty of better locations in NJ to have these houses rebuilt. With the rise of insurance costs this will save 1200 people the hassle of higher prices and the increased percentage of having to deal with a disaster. It sounds like a great idea to me.

I have been waiting for Witchbrook as well. It looks really fun. Never heard of Cairn but dam does it look really interesting as well.
- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 2 weeks ago:
Oh I know, I work in the industry as well. Our company backups alone for workstations and servers is just under 1 petabyte. This is then replicated to an offsite location which is also out disaster recovery location, and also stored in long term storage in Azure. This is just backups, sooo much money for backups haha. Thats why I am shocked that this entire company can run off of 300tb which is a lot, but nothing when you think of it being the entire business model for them.
I think the craziest thing ive seen is we have these instruments that do genome testing and sequencing and they would create like 10tb worth of data per month. Every month they got there own 10tb drive handed to them to backup their stuff on there own on top of the ones we did for them.
- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 2 weeks ago:
300tb is a lot, but its kind of crazy to think this entire company only needs 300tb storage arrays to function. I wonder how they handle things internally. I would imagine at least 1 backup server ready to go in HA. I wonder if they have multiple regions across the country that also serves up the same setup.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 weeks ago:
This is where I am confused. I hear this, but I also keep hearing they used AI to create assets when it was first started development as placeholders for future assets. They were all replaced long before the game was ever released. I also heard that the assets used were stock unreal 5 assets which were AI generated but again replaced later long before the game released. So which is the real story?

- Comment on Attitudes 3 weeks ago:
I am, but I am also in a tight spot since I have a kid who has 1 more year left until school starts and we can’t really afford daycare. This job has been nice since the work has also been much easier compared to 5 years ago. After that happens I am looking for something new immediately.
- Comment on Attitudes 3 weeks ago:
My job once gave us water coolers and coffee. At one point the coffee was a big all in one where you can make great drinks with it. Then they took it away because it cost to much. We then had kurigs. They then took away the pods because apparently we cant be trusted and people were stealing them. At least we could still bring ours in! Oh once they broke they refused to replace them so we had no more coffee. Then they took the water away as well once the company claimed it needed cutbacks because it is not doing well. Even the perks are all going away. I remember when I first started 20 years ago we got 2 holiday parties where the company rented a big venue and gave out 10, 15, 20 year anniversary gifts and bonuses and the other party was our department one. Those ended 10 years ago and not a word on anything ever coming back.
The only perk now is that they cutback so much they have no room for my department anymore and we became full remote a little over a year ago. Yay!

Thanks for the suggestion. Says on it’s site summer 2026 is target for release. Still a while away, I wonder how long we have with Firefox before this takes over…

Looks like theres a site you can use to get color names. It says its called Browny Green
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 4 weeks ago:
I watch a bunch of channels that are mostly talking and are 20+ minutes. I always put it on 1.5x speed and its barely noticeable and you get used to it. It saves me time without any loss of what was being shown so I consider it a win.
1 question, this feature already exists for non paying costumers, does this mean its going to be a pay for option only soon? That will piss me off…

Wrong. Something about Mary taught us all that you need to clear the pipes right before the date.
- Comment on You could throw a dart blindfolded in 1998 and hit a new legendary game every time. 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been saying that same thing since 2005 lol. 2004 is peak gaming. It was great living through that era.
- Comment on What DDNS providers you guys recommend? 4 weeks ago:
Same! Except I use windows and they have a small app that you can install and run in the background which will update the IP if needed.
I also used duckdns for years before moving to this and I never had any issues using that either. It was the same thing, small app that ran on your machine and you needed the token and it just worked.
- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think I have ever watched the game awards, but I do look at the results and trailers the day after. I am glad Claire pulled through! I was following that game the year before it released and it looked incredible. For me it was a day one purchase and glad I was right! It was definitely an experience. It’s also the only game I have purchased this year outside of black friday where I used a gift card to buy 3 cheap games.
- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 4 weeks ago:
My biggest complaint is not that they sell you stuff, it’s that they price everything so dam high… like spending $20 in these games should get you something significant in my eyes, instead you barely get a 10 random pull where you probably end up with crap. Screw that… with that said if I do get into one I will normally throw the game like $20 total purchasing a few things if they feel worth it. I am currently playing Chaos Zero Nightmare and the prices are so bad I haven’t spent a dime and don’t think I will. Its a good game otherwise.
