- Comment on EE warns parents against giving children under 11 a smartphone 2 months ago:
On Google Fi the watch data “piggy backs” on the phone’s data. You still need a phone + phone plan.
- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 6 months ago:
Valve releasing a competitive game doesn’t prevent you from doing this. I for one am excited at the potential of this game. Then again, I’ve been playing Dota for 10 years so maybe I’m just a masochist.
- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 6 months ago:
That’s because that’s exactly what they are.
- Comment on Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing 8 months ago:
No, no, the real problem is video games… and Dungeons & Dragons… and the mall of course… and comic books… and…
- 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 8 months ago:
ARM is RISC (or at least a version of it).
- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 9 months ago:
Companies having a monopoly over access to the internet doesn’t change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.
That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.
- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 9 months ago:
I understand what you’re saying but it feels wrong to lump Cloudflare in with Google and Amazon. Clouflare, thus far anyway, has been mostly a force of good for the internet.
- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 9 months ago:
The internet IS decentralized.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 9 months ago:
Think of the up vote button more as a “this information is worth spreading” button than “I like or agree with this content”.
- Comment on Which OS do you use for your homeserver? 9 months ago:
I am super impressed with Arch on my home servers. People seem to think “rolling” means “unstable” but the only issues I’ve had were due to some weird hardware incompatibility with my motherboard. Once I replaced the mobo my system has been rock solid AND reasonably up-to-date (I do use LTS kernel).

Thank you. This needs to be further up in the comments
- Comment on Linode Alternative Suggestions for Small Projects 10 months ago:
My bill hasn’t changed but maybe I was grandfathered in.
- Comment on Linode Alternative Suggestions for Small Projects 10 months ago:
Yes, I’m aware. Still as good at it’s always been
- Comment on Here’s how the EPA calculates how far an EV can go on a full charge 10 months ago:
So this value should only be used as a horizontal comparison metric (i.e. one car to another) and a rough estimate of overall range, just like listed MPG has always been.
- Comment on Linode Alternative Suggestions for Small Projects 10 months ago:
I’ve been using Linode for a decade (or more) now without any issues. I’d encourage you to contact their support about this issue. Assuming you’re on the up-and-up this sounds like a big and in sure they’d be happy to help.
If you decide not to go with Linode though I think Digital Ocean is a good alternative.
- Comment on The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January - Sodium-ion batteries have lower density but are cheaper and perform better in cold weather 10 months ago:
Driving.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 Signals the Industry’s New Priority: Stability 10 months ago:
I think the prevalence of mesh systems is intended to remedy this. Instead of a single AP that can cover your entire house you can mesh two or three APs to get the coverage desired.
- Comment on Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s Top-Secret Hawaii Compound | WIRED 11 months ago:
I’d ask which one but the honest answer is probably most of them.
- Comment on Open extensions on Firefox for Android will be available from December 14 11 months ago:
Yes, equal ground should be given to all. Unfortunately, you’re right about Chromium but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t play fair.
- Comment on 5000-Year-Old Tablets Can Now Be Decoded by Artificial Intelligence, New Research Reveals 11 months ago:
A lot of what we know about the construction of the Egyptian pyramids came from what are essentially ancient spreadsheets.
- Comment on Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea 11 months ago:
So unionization?
- Comment on What is your favourite font for code ? 1 year ago:
I’m a big fan of Adobe’s Source Code Pro.
- Comment on Braid, Anniversary Edition Release Date Trailer 1 year ago:
I’m with you. The Witness is still quite possibly my favorite game of all time. One of the few I wish I could wipe from my memory and play again.
- Comment on Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago 1 year ago:
They should call it Y.

The Witness
- Comment on So long, small phones 1 year ago:
I recently busted out my Pixel 5 (currently using Pixel 7) to try out Lineage OS and absolutely love how it feels in my hands. It’s light and easy to reach all of the screen with one hand. Man I miss that phone.
- Comment on FCC moves ahead with Title II net neutrality rules in 3-2 party-line vote 1 year ago:
While this is good information to share this has nothing to do with the net neutrality stuff.
- Comment on What is your favorite software stack for full-stack web development? 1 year ago:
Laravel (PHP) + Vue (JS)
- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
I’ve been meaning to install Linux on my primary gaming PC but haven’t yet due to laziness. This would 100% get me to pull the trigger if/when I ever had to upgrade/reinstall.
