- Comment on LIMBO and INSIDE are being delisted from GOG on July 17th 6 hours ago:
Having played both, the answer is definitely yes. They’re not particularly long, but really solid
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 8 hours ago:
The connector itself is perfectly fine, which is incredible, and exactly what people wanted. Plus there’s a ton of room for technological improvement under the hood, if needed. USB/Thunderbolt standards spread for a whole range of specs now, all under the Type-C connector
- Comment on Against the Storm - Nightwatchers DLC Trailer 2 days ago:
I’ve really enjoyed this game, but haven’t bought the first expansion yet though. This one looks quite cool too!
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 3 days ago:
They’ve actually done the exact opposite. The lobbying, the import laws, the absence of a foreign export market, and the manufacturing of cars that would never pass safety laws anywhere else, all resulted in the kind of dogshit that Americans have to experience now. Why improve if you’re the only player
- Comment on Exclusive: OpenAI to release web browser in challenge to Google Chrome 4 days ago:
They can keep this privacy invading dogshit to themselves
- Comment on When does Trump finally start taking accountability? 5 days ago:
The most likely answer is it’ll happen when he finally pisses off his own minions enough. He’s more likely to die, before he’ll see any kind of real punishment for anything.
Now that he’s about to rob several millions of people of basic needs being met, maybe things will start moving
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 week ago:
Lawmakers are grappling with how to address …
Just a reminder that the government is actively voting against regulations on AI, because obviously a lot of these people are pocketing lobbyist money
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
No one gets a third term, and that’s not negotiable. They can get the guillotine though
- Comment on There is no such thing as truly objective YouTube search results 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t think it could get worse, and yet here we are. Not sure if it were an experiment, but for a while now my search results were always exactly 5 relevant videos, a block of shorts, and then just completely unrelated stuff.
I don’t really understand why we can’t have it, like it was before. If you’re subbed to a channel, you get the videos in your feed as they come in, and search just works as intended.
They are engineering solutions for problems that don’t need to exist
- Comment on ‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops 2 weeks ago:
What are they so afraid of? They’re public servants, so they should be publicly identifiable. If they don’t like it, get off the government payroll
- Comment on First Tesla Robotaxi Ride 2 weeks ago:
The “autopilot”
- Comment on First Tesla Robotaxi Ride 2 weeks ago:
That’s the obvious answer, but it was available long before the orange twat too
- Comment on First Tesla Robotaxi Ride 2 weeks ago:
I genuinely cannot understand how this 4th reich mobile is legally allowed to not just have this feature available to the public, but also sell it for a considerable amount of money. Even on US roads, it is not even remotely close to ready
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed 3 weeks ago:
It would be yet another spit in the face, if they released a 80$ base game, with the typical 2 season passes, totaling almost 300$ in dlcs of questionable quality. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything, because it’s 2K and Gearbox we’re talking about
- Comment on Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per year 4 weeks ago:
People will inevitably die as a result of this change. Call your representatives
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 4 weeks ago:
At some point, it will only be worth it, if you either finish games at an alarming rate, or play so many different games, that buying them separately would make no sense
- Comment on Steam beta gets native Apple Silicon support — the only public Arm version of Steam 4 weeks ago:
Probably not. Steam for macOS still has no SteamPlay support, so your best bet is installing the regular Steam through a separate Heroic prefix. Works great, but it does still require Rosetta.
That said, Box64 and FEX are both making a lot of progress, so it’d be awesome to see these in action officially soon
- Comment on Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers 4 weeks ago:
If this were an optional “skin” of sorts, it would have been completely fine with me. But this is a forced redesign, and a really bad one at that. There will likely be changes before the GM release comes out, but overall I just don’t like the design direction, nor the performance implications
- Comment on iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original 5 weeks ago:
Still has an LCD panel, and still has regular sticks. I guess saving 0.10$ per unit adds up
- Comment on Twitch is getting vertical livestreams 1 month ago:
I understand that the overwhelming majority of people will still continue streaming at 16:9, or the vertical equivalent. It’s not just about ownership of ultrawide displays. It’s about support for such output format, for people who do want it. But even going by your own example, a ton of phones are 19.5:9, with some models straight up being 21:9
- Comment on Twitch is getting vertical livestreams 1 month ago:
We’re getting vertical streams before 21:9 aspect ratio support. Come on
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 1 month ago:
And we’ll just watch them either get slapped by an insignificant fine, or watch them weasel their way out of this again, by claiming they made you agree to some perpetual abandonment of rights, like they always do
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 1 month ago:
Why is it never the other way around? I’m sick of EULA updates silently enrolling me into things i never asked for
- Comment on $1.5 Billion AI Company That Reportedly Used No Actual AI Goes Belly Up 1 month ago:
That’s just the reality of half of these companies. Inflated revenue reports, no actual work done, and at best they are just a shit chatGPT wrapper
- Comment on Game Boy Advance: Incredible tech on just 2 AA Batteries 1 month ago:
Going from a GBC to a GBA SP was absolutely unreal. A backlit display, and a rechargeable battery? Say less
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 1 month ago:
Doesn’t even need to be dense fog. The other day I saw a video of a Tesla (on newest firmware, mind you) drove off the road into a tree, in broad daylight, with no visual impairments to the sensors. It’s not ready for any kind of driving, let alone fully automated, not to mention that it’s only really trained on American roads
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 1 month ago:
A Deck will likely be a better purchase for you. Shared library, more sales too. The Cities Skylines situation you’ve described would have been enough to make that decision for me
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 1 month ago:
I’ve never known about it until just now, but I wish I had, because my mom definitely needs something like that. Quite a shame
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 month ago:
Make no mistake. LLMs aren’t killing stackoverflow. LLMs just arrived to finish it off. The stuff that was killing it are the regular posters there, and their passive aggressive bullshit
- Comment on Sony blocks Stellar Blade on more than 100 countries 1 month ago:
Play Anywhere ™️
Except for countries where we don’t allow you to
