  I mean, when I reported it as broken I was on desktop as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside the fiery, deadly crashes involving the Tesla Cybertruck: Cybertrucks have locked passengers inside and burned so hot they’ve disintegrated drivers’ bones.⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC it has a manual override, it’s just stupidly hard to find.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MEGA FLAG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI, and this might be a difference between mobile and browser clients, but that link seems to be broken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“ChatGPT said this” Is Lazy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Put them on a list where any and every email they send you gets fed into GPT and replied to without you ever reading it, then to make sure they know that explain what’s happening in the signature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even then, it feels dishonest to hide when such a historically unreliable tool is being used.

  Only if they can still find buyers at the inflated price. I’m not aware of any consumers buying RAM right now, so I doubt they would be able to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are legitimate reasons to ask for an “all permissions” token, such as setting up and using a third party client. A game is not one of the things that should be asking for that though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At the very least, didn’t Sam Altman/OpenAI say they intend to have these exact same restrictions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you willing to name and shame? Which company was it?

  Cool, I don’t believe them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bumper is the smaller top one, because it acts and feels kinda like a car bumper. Trigger is the larger bottom one, because it acts like the trigger of a gun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honest question, what gripes do you have with the Switch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And following decent coding practices there shouldn’t be a ton of code there (not saying a small amount, just little enough that AI would be able to compete in volume in this amount of time), just because less is so often more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey hey, let’s be honest here, bragged, it’s been 9 months or so by now. Who knows how much of windows is vibecoded at this point, it might be as high as 50%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telly has only delivered 35,000 of its free televisions with always-on ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC they contractually get to charge you the price of the TV if the ads are blocked or disabled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'More DLC = More FPS' — Monster Hunter Wilds Players Ask Capcom for Answers After Theory Suggests a Backend DLC Check Is Tanking Performance - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fascinating, the most recent update seemed to have massively improved things on my Linux system. At the very least I am no longer getting the problem where my entire computer freezes so hard even caps lock doesn’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it is kinda expensive, but that would be more tollerable for everyone if wages weren’t stagnating to fund yachts.

  Since when are there savings accounts with interest rates worth even calculating? The interest rate on my savings account is down at 0.01%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 533 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Krafton fired the creators to deny them a million-ish dollar bonus that was promised to them, then made a whole bunch of accusations against the creators to try to shift the blame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To my knowledge the problem isn’t getting together the funds for any single “contribution”, it’s having the funds to pay the politician off over and over again. Sure, half a million dollars sounds like a lot more than a hundred thousand, but how many times can that half million be successfully crowdfunded? It’s much more reliable for the politicians to just accept the smaller but more consistent “contributions” from the more wealthy parties.

  On top of that, outright bribery is illegal, attempting something like that is liable to get you arrested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that going to kill the need for the various modloaders?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not quite, deletion from a hard drive also unflags the space the data was located at as being in use, so it will be overwritten eventually so long as the drive continues to have things written to it. Simply flagging something as being archived means that information will remain on the server indefinitely, the exact opposite of what is intended by a delete button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why yes, I do frequently google things. Searching for proper tutorials and official documentation for technical subjects is a more intelligent thing to do than asking an LLM to do all my thinking for me. As for the actual humans I was talking about there, I meant bringing my car in to be serviced by a mechanic as an example, if I learned the mechanic working on my car was just following instructions provided by chatGPT I would be fucking livid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be honest, my biggest problem with something like this is that ai sophisticated enough to do anything useful cannot be run locally. That means every single time the clanker is asked to do something you are uploading significant amounts of personal information in an unencrypted form to some datacenter somewhere, for whoever to just do whatever they want with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except for the medicine stuff, I am confident I would be able to do all of those things actually, given a bit of time for research and enough motivation. Even more critically, when I have a problem like that where I don’t care enough to figure it out for myself, I call upon the expertise of an actual human that really knows things, not a glorified autocomplete with internet access.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many developers leave GZDoom due to leader conflicts and fork it into UZDoom⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My answer to you is that I fully expect the ability to do stuff yourself to be seen as extremely valuable in about 2 or 3 years. This whole AI thing is pretty definitely a bubble, and on top of that it also looks to me like the blockchain and metaverse tech-fads, and I strongly believe that when the bubble bursts people that can say “I spent all that time learning to do things myself rather than rely on ai to do my thinking for me” are going to be the only people with careers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Counterpoint, I lost an unknown number of files (unknown because I have no idea what all I failed to recover) years ago when my OneDrive backup filled up and my attempts to clear out space in the cloud backup propogated to my local storage, deleting everything I had in my local documents folder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So, I do not believe that is a thing. Apparently there are some wind turbines with diesel generators attached somewhere, but it’s not for that reason. Offshore wind seems to have them in case they get disconnected from the grid because they rely on some power to protect themselves from ocean air, and apparently a wind array in Scottland had some to keep the turbines from freezing over. Frankly though there just isn’t room in the turbine’s housing to keep a whole diesel engine, at least most of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have exactly one game and exactly one 2fa app that I would meaningfully miss out on switching to a dumb pbone, outside of those two things I would genuinely consider it.
