  That’s like quitting Spotify now because you just realised it still doesn’t offer decent sound quality. It’s far from the only reason to quit using it.

  It had some popular YouTuber’s name on it, that’s enough for some to buy anything

  Yeah, didn’t think so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Since switching to Linux I have nuked my system maybe 5 or 6 times?

  When I initially installed it I set the EFI partition to ext4, that caused some trouble when I updated my kernel lol. Then just recently I accidentally wrote a floppy disc image to the wrong drive and wiped out my /home partition. Luckily testdisk is a thing.

  Everything else I can just rely on my BTRFS snapshots. My drive setup is more than janky, but it works.

  Can’t go wrong with good old Linux Mint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 has screws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? Never heard of that.

  Should still be able to carry 1 amp, shouldn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 has screws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a concern for me as well, in Germany every new Product has to come with basically a 2 year warranty. 30 days is nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 has screws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean you see a connector right there for the daughterboard, but yeah, maybe it’s too bulky for the current case design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 has screws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The nanos are pretty nasty to work on in general

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 has screws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  True. Although I’d still find a way to mess it up somehow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pebble Time 2 has screws⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Soldered in battery still…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can travel between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne for as little as $10 on affordable bus Flix - but at what cost?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh god, not FlixBus… I’ve been on those before. It’s ok for the price I guess, but if you have any other way of travel, choose that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian airlines are banning the use of power banks on flights. Here's what to know⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… When I flew from London to Sydney with Quantas I couldn’t even power, let alone charge my laptop from the outlet.

  It can automatically order eggs for you. That’s neat, eh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can just picture him seeing all the negative feedback and dropping to the floor in the fetal position calling out for his Mum, who then came into his room to turn off replies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So they acknowledge the backlash, now what? They’re probably not gonna change anything regardless.

  Anyway, why does Microsoft need an “AI CEO” and how is CEO different from president? Is there also a Windows CEO, or an AI president at Microsoft?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s kinda obvious. I just don’t think that’s gonna be a huge problem for people who are in the market for this thing, Valve specifically choose the specifications to be an upgrade for most steam users.

  Some upgradability is still better than none.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incredible Sunset. 11/10/2025.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks mate. There’s a lot more that I’m hoping to get away of than just the weather to be fair, although some things I obviously can’t get away from…

  Anyway, maybe we’ll run into each other sometime down there, that would be kinda awkward^^

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incredible Sunset. 11/10/2025.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, at least I hope so… I’m planning to move next September

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨South African man’s visa cancelled after neo-Nazi rally outside NSW parliament⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Since when is it a crime to love and advocate for your own people?”

  Isn’t that an admission of guilt? Also, a silver bracelet with Hitler Youth slogan has got to be the lamest thing I’ve heard in a while. I bet he got it on Etsy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More RAM doesn’t just benefit the GPU, there’s plenty of games today that use more than 16GB of system RAM on their highest settings and that’s only gonna become more common in the future… Besides, with this being literally a Linux PC, there’s more ways it could make use of the extra RAM than just games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police need more powers to stop ‘naked racism and hatred’ after allowing Sydney neo-Nazi rally, premier says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the context. Sounds like the Police either fails to see the criminal energy coming from neo-nazis (c’mon…) or they don’t really care, don’t know which is worse.

  I’ve heard of NSW, I’ve been there a few times^^

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police need more powers to stop ‘naked racism and hatred’ after allowing Sydney neo-Nazi rally, premier says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how it is in Australia but in Germany it is a constitutional right to hold rallies, so they can’t easily stop them from happening (even if they wanted to, which I’m actually not sure they do given how many of our police officers are neo-nazis themselves). Chanting NSDAP and Hitler Youth propaganda during these rallies is an offence but guess what, they do it anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh that’s cool, didn’t see that. I have no idea why Valve didn’t mention that in their reveal, that’s a huge advantage over consoles.
