- Comment on The MSI Claw is an embarrassment 1 day ago:
You are correct I misunderstood, I read your comment as handhelds with intel can’t windows. It is why I shifted to my surfaces, as they have xbox gaming and run other than AMD. IME windows can game on literally any platform, I linux professionally but MacOS privately, apple apps that run on x86 can not run on their m platforms because they dont support ARM #Facepalm, so the run anywhere promise of windows (which I know is fake) seems hard to beat, and I do not feel windows has overhead that these handhelds can’t overcome.
- Comment on The MSI Claw is an embarrassment 1 day ago:
My steam deck runs Windows 11 at full speed to take advantage of the xbox game pass. My two surfaces both arm and intel run win 11 at full speed, I dont understand your comment. The one major complaint is that SteamOS sleep is a killer feature, not a day goes by that I do not covet it. Windows sleep does not exist and is left out in reviews but honestly to a regular person is the biggest difference, and is why I can not recommend anything other than steamdeck.
- Comment on The MSI Claw is an embarrassment 1 day ago:
The worst part for me, is it sounds like it has good well thought out software, but the hardware choice crippled them. It sounds like better specs but the steamdeck (proud owner) was made on the cheap and is outclassing them at half price.
- Comment on Netflix to take on Google and Amazon by building its own ad server 3 days ago:
I am outraged as well, but arguably this is competition, and how many corpos with deep pockets can legitimately fight Google/Amazon without going broke. This feels like loss but with a really strong silver lining.

It takes an extra 2 minutes, that’s why its dead in the water. People go who would spend x amount of time to deepfake me that I should spend an extra two minutes on assuring integrity? And well for most of the population they are probably right.

- Comment on Oh the wonders of technology 4 weeks ago:
It is actually worse than that, all phones have an FM tuner built-in to receive emergency alerts from various nations. At one point, I forget who (possibly Sinclair?, iirc it was a large American broadcast company), attempted to pass legislation in the US to force the OEMs to allow access to the chips which somehow failed. I believe most androids that are rooted are able to access the FM radio irregardless, but I am unfamiliar of the minutia involved. I’d estimate 99% of iPhones in use have an FM radio chip, I believe only Sprint (a defunct American carrier) ever shipped with FM radio available.

- Comment on New York inmates are suing to watch the solar eclipse after state orders prisons locked down 1 month ago:
At least for these inmates, New York State already purchased glasses, and the issue actually is that the jails changed that Monday to a weekend schedule that forces them inside at the exact time it passes over, whereas the weekday schedule would have allowed them outside at the time. I don’t know if it is true but I’ve heard a few mentions that the switch was short staffing from many guards taking that day off mixed with general understaffing, and thats why such an abrupt switch came with a week left.

- Comment on The Future of Border Patrol: AI Is Always Watching 1 month ago:
I know people are going to want to ignore it because of the source, but these are the feelings of actual residents of the most diverse county in America, many of whom are immigrants themselves about the need for immediate migrant reform foxnews.com/…/nyc-residents-aoc-district-furious-… I ask only these voices be heard before claiming immigration is not a glaring administration error. I personally have many friends who are upset over their wait times to self-sponsor/sponsor their own family, while allegedly the recipe to fly in over the border with no wait is to claim Venezuelan national seeking to stay in Florida, and you get approval for air travel into Miami and a court date five years out.
- Comment on i'm in danger 2 months ago:
Only transcription, it outputs to a few formats that amount to plain text with or without time coding including srt subtitles. It transcribes really well, one bit of note is that sometimes with more technical discussions I find better results using the smaller models. My best theory is the technical words are less likely to be assumed to be an accent/variation.
- Comment on i'm in danger 2 months ago:
Not sure if you have tried/heard of Whisper. It automatically transcribes audio, I use it for meetings/lectures that don’t come with Closed Captioning, it supports audio/video files and a few languages. I had tried a few solutions with mixed results (e.g. Google is slow, many places limit lengths/sizes), IBM is supposed to be the best free/low cost cloud model but they would never approve my accounts. In the end locally with whisper in an Anaconda/Python environment was best cheap option for me.

- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 2 months ago:
MacOS does use the term translations for its Rosetta Layer while Windows Arm uses the term emulation. I do believe the technical difference is that MacOS converts x64 code to arm64 on the fly, while part of the reason for emulation on Windows is to support x86 and other architectures. Someone more knowledgeable than me may be able to better compare the two offerings.

I have been running Windows 10+11 on arm for years now, the next version of Windows Server 2025 already has an arm preview release. Windows ARM has for a long time had x86 emulation, and has supported x64 emulation since about the start of COVID.
- Comment on No tip 2 months ago:
Yeah, I will ask workers what the tip-out policy is at questionable places (i.e. Fast Food Service), most of the places that put in these tip screens do not actually tip-out or have some insane policy to make sure workers never claim the money and/or only a small percentage. Like if a tip jar would seem out of place and/or wasn’t there before a store’s POS upgrade I generally assume the management is pocketing the tip (i.e. Five Guys Burgers, cash goes to employees but I’ve been told by a few cashiers that credit card tips seem to vanish into thin air)

I think it may be targeted though. My friend who is on the road alot and eating fast food always has 30%+ off McDonalds coupons in the app and never any Uber Eats coupons in his app. I order more delivery and always have Uber+McDonalds coupons but my app only ever shows $1 Hash Browns and $5 Chicken nuggets box which I always thought was normal price.

bruh $7.39 for a DORITOS® CHEESY GORDITA Supreme per taco, no extras past the tomato and cream from Supreme. For less then the price of two, I can get a whole steak taco plate just about anywhere else.
- Comment on They say MacDonald's is expensive now. Are any other chains still cheap/cheaper? 2 months ago:
I actually enjoyed Taco Bell, precisely because it was cheap, fast, comparatively healthy with vegan options, and open late. Essentially since COVID they have raised prices insanely (NY Metro soft tacos are almost $4, speciality ones reach $8+tax(so $9) per taco), they are no longer as quick despite all of them essentially being Kiosks with a food assembly line in the back now, they have taken away vegan options and some of their fresh veggies like pico de gallo / played with their menu items too much how many limited drop food items can you do a year?, and many are no longer open late. Taco Bell could have ended up like in the Demolition Man film, but COVID ruined any love I had for the brand.

I am actually more worried this is an ad to ban people from having hardware to locally host models. If these “bad guys” do this where they have to “register” and agree to be monitored, what could they do if it wasn’t us big guys around to catch them?
