I kinda love the Fiero tbh

Nah, Sam. I think it’s your time that’s soon over…
- Comment on Consumer watchdog summoning major fuel suppliers to explain skyrocketing prices 3 days ago:
During the oil crisis in the 70s, the German government introduced the “Autofreier Sonntag” (Car-fee Sunday). On four days per year, no-one (apart from emergency responders, police etc.) was allowed to drive their car.
I think this should make a comeback, maybe even an international one.
- Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 4 days ago:
So no more UWP apps? Ok, I thought those were supposed to be the future but whatever…
- Comment on Australia: Taiwanese Indigenous group's planned performance at AFC Asian Cup match between Taiwan and China cancelled at the last minute for "political reasons" 4 days ago:
Is this another one of those “[blank] shouldn’t be political” excuses?
- Comment on The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals 5 days ago:
Apple is also responsible for the Beats line of products since they bought the rights some time ago.
- Comment on The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals 5 days ago:
Reading through the study, not all samples contained unsafe levels of those chemicals. It’s interesting to note how many brand-name over-ear and in-ear headphones do, though, including products by Apple, Bose, Samsung and Sony.
Unfortunately, none of the headphones I own were on the list.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 6 days ago:
For most common users they don’t care. They don’t even know what soldered RAM is.
They should, because when it’s time to sell the laptop one with soldered RAM is gonna be worth a lot less (at least to me).
Chromebooks with low RAM are fine for many use cases. I’ve got a chromebook with only 4GB of RAM and its perfectly fine for web browsing or watching streaming which is the only things I use it for.
Fair, but there’s still the potential of it becoming a paperweight if the RAM chips give out or Google forces AI shit into ChromeOS.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 6 days ago:
Fair enough. Although Asus sells at least one laptop with 8 GB of soldered RAM, too.
Granted, it’s “only” a Chromebook, but still.
- Comment on One-fifth of Australian imports have probable links to forced labour 1 week ago:
One-fifth is still surprisingly low, I expected it to be like 50%
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
He pointed to the laptop’s 8GB of “unified memory,” or what amounts to its RAM, and how customers can’t upgrade it.
Yes, because Asus laptops all have non-soldered RAM…
- Comment on Iran includes American tech giants on list of new targets 1 week ago:
I guess Trump is getting what he wants, he’s getting a spot in the history books. As the one who started WWIII.
Congratulations. Peace Committee my ass.

bum gin
What’s that?

It’s the toilet paper crisis all over again
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 week ago:
Can’t they just leave the one company that’s been consistently good to its customers alone?
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 1 week ago:
Still pretty cool
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 1 week ago:
Fair enough
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 1 week ago:
I’m not sure if I blame them more than the people who go on these tours, though, for some people it’s literally just “been there, done that”.
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 1 week ago:
Just like the Three Sisters up in the Blue Mountains; just loads of Asian tourists taking a couple of selfies before hopping on the tour bus again.
At that point you could just get a greenscreen and chromakey yourself in at home, heck of a lot cheaper…
- Comment on Twelve Apostles visitors to be charged entry fee to see natural wonder 1 week ago:
It’s so fascinating how much the government didn’t care about cultural sites back then. Hell, you could land on Uluru with a plan back then.

locals are INFURIATED
For some reason I’m picturing Sydney Mecham, only that it’s actually IN Sydney

- Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub 1 week ago:
It won’t. The most that can happen is that every change gets reverted after a system update.
- Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub 1 week ago:
It’s basically a bunch of software optimisations; you can watch the very good explanation by its creator . It does boost performance quite a bit.
- Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub 1 week ago:
Huh, runs totally fine on my OLED Deck with the CyroDeck enhancements.
- Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub 1 week ago:
That doesn’t mean much when it comes to emulation tbh. If the emulator is shit, power won’t help.
- Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub 1 week ago:
It has no trouble playing Super Mario Wonder at full speed and 1080p, that’s good enough in my books.
