• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, space isn’t cold it’s empty. You need something to conduct away the heat, otherwise all you can do is passively radiate it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you’re talking about bitrate. A lot of the 4k content is encoded using more efficient codecs, but if it’s sourced from the streaming services the bitrate is so abysmal it’s usually a tossup between the 1080p or 4k stream. At least the 4k usually has hdr these days which is appreciable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...is this retro?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The one The picture is an xbox 360 s which is only 15 years old if that helps

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the public demands ANSWERS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  <User has blocked you> <You are banned from Jaguar Facts>

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus the network usage for people with data caps, ISPs who throttle you for any p2p traffic etc it’d be a mess. Not to mention torrents usually have a ‘ramp up’ time as they find and connect to peers, probably not what people used to and endless stream of autoplaying short-form videos would want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop listening to them and anyone in government that endorses them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  John Pfizer duh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the venn diagram overlap of “people who understand and care about e2ee enough to drop a messaging app for not supporting it” and “people who use whatsapp” has to be a sliver

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soda pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was named after the coca in it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨saturday wisdom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you shit as one you share the fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French indie studio Accidental Queens are closing and delisting their games from Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, at least it was only like $3 to pick them all up. Could easily be avoided though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox 360S and Xbox OG⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get the game compatibility update here. www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=…

  Is there a reason you don’t want to just connect it to your internet though? I feel like that would be the easiest way if you want it to be up to date anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox 360S and Xbox OG⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And you started the .zip file directly onto the root of a fat 32 formatted flash drive?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox 360S and Xbox OG⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The instructions to update via flash drive seem pretty clear that there’s no option it just does it when it restarts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah beyond the obvious problems with latency it mostly comes down to trust: trusting them with your data, trusting them to have enough capacity and trusting to not enshittify in the future. I reserve that level of trust for close friends, certainly not companies and absolutely not bezos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple picks Google’s Gemini AI for its big Siri upgrade⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish they’d actually improve their product instead of forcing in more slop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That display is using BFI (black frame insertion) which is usually optional to reduce blur.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s some pretty confidently incorrect posting. Most gaming displays these days have some flavor of adaptive sync available that adjusts the refresh rate to the content being displayed, and even before that there were film modes that set the refresh rate to the ~24 fps(or a multiple if it) that film content is at to avoid stuttering/tearing.

  This is likely the bottom of the adaptive sync window and will only be used if the machine is idle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Audio dongles and the ghost of USB 1⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Buzzing, buttons not working, other devices not working in the same bus. I’d just read it when you’ve had some sleep

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every decision led him to this point⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this referring to

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Days after killing the brand, Crucial shows up at Delhi Comic-Con — As Micron pivots to AI, Crucial's presence likely booked out months in advance to event⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Comic-con?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably single channel too because of course

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨until next year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And they like don’t bother animating the cover stories

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d assume microsoft is writing them a fat check to do so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨until next year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I caught up with the anime last year but its definitely rough. There’s a lot of padding in the older episodes though. They’re going to be slowing down to putting out only 26 episodes in 2026. Reading the manga up to the point the anime is at and watching the bigger fights is probably the more sane choice though as Toei is kinda shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doom co-creator John Romero's shooter was a casualty of Microsoft's cuts, but it's being "completely redesigned" into a smaller game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I understood it fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where Winds Meet: Why China's Wuxia RPG is Winning Over Global Gamers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lost all interest in this once I found out they have llms hooked up to the npcs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How customer service jobs be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also it reduces it to just the person making your food who isn’t paid enough to give a shit instead of them and the person taking your order. One less point of failure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman’s Dirty DRAM Deal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to say that this is particularly hard to believe, but do you have a source?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Samsung doesn’t actually make dimms as far as I know, just the actual ram chips that get soldered onto a dimm and sold by companies like corsair

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's version of Android on Linux (based on Waydroid) is now called Lepton⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, I was thinking this was a fork of Android but this is what proton is for windows games but for APKs
