- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
Yes, it’s definitely a more mainstream entertainment channel than pure info
aimed more at gamers than tech people I think

for anyone wondering: hsl(38, 79%, 51%) for orange and hsl(136, 64%, 42%) for green, that’s oklch(0.747 0.151 74) for orange and oklch(0.665 0.181 147) for green. interestingly the normal digital color model shows orange as more saturated, while a perceptual color space shows them as a little bit less
(not trying to be the sort of person the comic is making fun of, I just like color lol)
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 week ago:
For phones Google gets to decide, as an os maker. For PCs, there are multiple OSses so hardware manufacturers get to decide.
I personally don’t see AMD or Intel doing that anytime soon, and if they do, at least Arm and Risc-V are making some good progress in the desktop space

practical importance to gender
As perceived by me
(only the most scientific of measurements)
- Comment on nooo my genderinos 3 weeks ago:
I would say gender is probably centered about around psychology, ranges mostly from sociology to biology, with a just little bit going into chemistry

Not a petition exactly but I found fightchatcontrol.eu
There might be others, I didn’t look that long and I’m not in the EU so idk
- Comment on CALL FOR URGENT ACTION to stop Chat Control legislation in EU 4 weeks ago:
The linked petition says:
The European Parliament MPs must vote AGAINST Chat Control legislation during EPlenary vote in June-August 2021.
It’s not even up to date. And it only has 1.8k signatures.

- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 5 weeks ago:
I suspect that if you’re now playing where everyone else gets the same advantages, that ruins the fun of having cheats
If not and the cheats themselves are just that fun to use, sure, add it in as another gamemode
- Comment on My latest hyperfixation 5 weeks ago:
ldk, avif looks really good at the really high compression ratios. My problem with it is that usually it includes lots of details, except those details weren’t the actual details of the original image. It just kinda hallucinates them
Also ofc the unlimited layers, great lossless mode, and high color depth etc would still make jxl a better universal choice, but avif just looks better at the ultra low end
- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 5 weeks ago:
The limit (with infinite districts made of infinite people) is theoretically 1/4 support, in a 2 party system, with a choice made from separately decided districts. If you add another level of districts, it could be 1/8, another would be 1/16, and so on.
In practice you can’t make a district with a actually 100% support of the opposing party, and you need to leave a little room for error in the districts you plan to win. Also there aren’t an infinite number of districts lol
- Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2 1 month ago:
A lot of that is shadows and lighting data, sometimes in unusual data structures without readily available compression methods. Compressing textures also impacts load times, obviously decompressing 10gb of jpgs could take a while. Still probably there are good compression methods and good tradeoffs to make, if any AAA studios actually cared about storage space (They do care a lot about GPU memory, just not storage space).

That doesn’t seem that difficult?
- Comment on ATT SMTP port 25 unblocking 1 month ago:
I don’t really stay on top of my gmail that often, but my spam folder has basically exactly the same stuff in it that my inbox has. Just a bunch of random emails from services that I signed up for an account on or bought something from and none of which I particularly care about. There’s not really much that I can tell differentiating what gets marked as spam or not either.

- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 1 month ago:
I think refurbished enterprise drives usually have a lot of extra protection hardware that helps them last a very long time. Seagate advertises a mean time to failure on their exos drives of ~200 years with a moderate level of usage. I feel like it would almost always be a better choice to get more refurbished enterprise drives than fewer new consumer drives.
I personally found an 8tb exos on servedpartdeals for ~$100 which seems to be in very good condition after checking the SMART monitoring. I’m just using it as a backup so there isn’t any data on it that isn’t also somewhere else, so I didn’t bother with redundancy.
I’m not an expert, but this is just from the research I did before buying that backup drive.
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 1 month ago:
I would say to first try the speed on ethernet. If that’s slow, then it’s the service or the modem and not the router. I think even the worst router you can find would support at least 250 Mbps on Ethernet.
To see if it’s the router’s fault, you could try some high bandwidth local network transfer, with sftp or something. If that’s slow, if you have the money you can just buy one of those fancy gaming routers or some other highly reviewed one.
If there’s a few walls or floors in between you and the router that could be the problem and a fancier higher power router will help with that. Another thing that could help is installing another access point near where you’re device is, although that’s obviously a lot of effort.
If even ethernet is slow and they refuse to help you then if you’re in the US or Canada you can try submitting a complaint on the Better Business Bureau website. This actually helped us once or twice when dealing with some cellular problems. You wouldn’t think it would do anything but I guess sometimes it gets them to pay at least a little bit of attention to the problem.
I have heard about how bad and monopolistic rural Internet can be, good luck

I can get like 300 Mbps on a speed test tho
That’s probably a problem with your router or receiving hardware btw unless you’ve confirmed otherwise
Especially if you’re in an area with a lot of other wifi signals or radio frequency interference
If it’s an ISP provided router you could probably ask for them to look at it

The best way to learn a language is through immersion. Honestly I feel like it would be a lot of fun to learn a language in Europe since the majority of people also speak English well if you really need to fall back to that.

Idk about the wifi thing, my phone should technically be able to do >500 Mbps to my computer yet it still transfers files at like 10 over wifi or usb
500 would be more than good enough but 10 is not
(It’s a OnePlus 12, age is not the issue)
I would also dislike the loss but I don’t think data speed is really the issue. Mostly that I couldn’t connect peripherals like my flash drive or sd card anymore
- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 2 months ago:
JXL is badly supported but it does offer lossless encoding in a more flexible and much more efficient way than png doe
Basically jxl could theoretically replace png, jpg, and also exr.
