- Comment on EA want to put adverts in your video games to squeeze you for every penny 5 days ago:
In the FIFA games, on those banners surrounding the field?
Funny how you just think that those adverts in this case makes it more “real”, just because you are used to it when watching a match on TV.
- Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. 2 weeks ago:
Not anymore they were all fired.

Something about this reminds me about Evangelion?
- Comment on Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths 3 weeks ago:
I would much rather use FSD that is limited to routes and conditions where the developers and testers agree that it’s safe.
Compared to a company that says “everything works”, and “those drivers that got killed must have been doing something wrong”.
- Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. 3 weeks ago:
I read that it in Ralph Wiggums voice.
- Comment on Hyundai pauses X ads over pro-Nazi content on the platform 4 weeks ago:
Yes paused long enough to post their complaint.
I expect they will increase the number of ads when they resume.
- Comment on Progress! 4 weeks ago:
Yes, Let them single step using the same input data for a couple of weeks that will teach them!
- Comment on This is what peak performance looks like 5 weeks ago:
Those 500x500 pixels must be very important.
And that grip reminds me of Hypertapping on the NES controller.

So, neutridonts?
- Comment on A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions 1 month ago:
Munich did exactly that in 2017, so let’s see how far Sleswig-Holstein is willing to go, hopefully they won’t be falling for Microsofts sweet talk.
- Comment on Liking an OS isn't a personality trait ❌ 1 month ago:
What about liking an editor or shell, they must be personality traits!

- Comment on Hunger 2 months ago:
Could be that instead of brushing you use the tongue to clean between the teeth, as you would be able to push them aside.
And I think mouth wash would be used instead of brushing.
- Comment on Security footage of Boeing repair before door-plug blowout was overwritten 2 months ago:
When does the FAA start grounding 737’s or all Boeing planes?

Remember to make a batch of half and half peanut butter and bologna for Halloween.
- Comment on Looking to build my first PC in almost 30 years; What should I be on the look out for? 2 months ago:
They sadly don’t have 3.5" drives anymore, and both the ISA and PCI busses are nowhere to be found 😔
I used pcpartpicker for my latest build it’s a good help when assembling and can help avoid those incompatible parts.
- Comment on Home Office to pay TikTok influencers to warn migrants not to cross the Channel 2 months ago:
It’s all about presenting, here’s some ideas:
- Say “Don’t cross guys it’s not worth it” While sipping drinks while getting a manicure.
- Say “Don’t cross guys it’s not worth it” At the golf course just after a swing.
- Say “Don’t cross guys it’s not worth it” In the hospital where a cute nurse just walked out of frame.
- Say “Don’t cross guys it’s not worth it” While stepping out of a Rolls Royce.
- Say “Don’t cross guys it’s not worth it” After finishing a big meal in a fine restaurant.
I hope someone makes that kind of videos.
- Comment on Today's date is impossible according to Google Gemini 3 months ago:
Free access are probably the sub billion size, or very limited in CPU which amounts to the same.
And yes why give people the fancy model for free, they can use some random model from openai
- Comment on Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users 3 months ago:
Android? But you can do better with any distro that runs on ARM.
Did you choose a de-googled Android?

- Comment on Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off 3 months ago:
We even have the current streaming services as examples, that’s why Ubisoft are greedy for getting people to subscribe.
Game streaming services will eventually be:
- Fragmented: You will need to have multiple subscriptions to play the games you want.
- Games will disappear without notice (We already see this on app-stores).
- Prices will be jacked up at a whim, and premium tier plans will be added.
- And as the pièce de résistance: Full of ads.

- Comment on US pay-TV subscriber base eroding at record pace 4 months ago:
Looking forward to 50 seconds commercials and 10 seconds tik-tok videos, but that’s just YouTube.
- Comment on US pay-TV subscriber base eroding at record pace 4 months ago:
I would watch about 16 minutes before giving up.
In the old days flow TV was max 25-30% ads, how can people live with 50% ads? At that rate it will be “Find the content” so in a few years with 90% ads watching a 45 minute show would take 7.5 hours.
- Comment on The oldest-known version of MS-DOS’s predecessor has been discovered and uploaded 4 months ago:
That really explains a lot, and why MS jumped to Windows NT, they knew that DOS would always be Dirty.

Education and wisdom are two separate stats, this guy didn’t roll very high on Wis.

Yes, if it gets shy/cold enough it can end up as an innie, cycling can also trigger it.
