- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 days ago:
I had a 6" 720p phone. Couldn’t tell the resolution, but could definitely tell the longer battery life
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 days ago:
I cannot tell 4K because my TV is 50’’ and I sit three meters away
- Comment on Top economist on the economy’s dirty truth: The only people who feel good are ‘making over $200,000’ and ‘have large stock portfolios’ 4 days ago:
Yeah, that’s rough for you now, but once you pay those things off you’re going to be well off
My friend has a family of 6 in SF bay area (one kid in college) and he spends ~120K per year. That’s not abnormal when he has nothing to pay off anymore.

Those poor dual income no kids families who only make $190K each

This why we need to switch to Matrix, to empower users to publish any malware they want
- Comment on Windows 10 support has ended, but here's how to get an extra year for free 2 weeks ago:
I remember you were able to crash someone’s PC by sending them a link to a webpage. This is what security updates prevent and there were even worse ones

Is that after or before it has to tell you it may cause cancer?
- Comment on Wafrn is for People Who Miss Tumblr’s Chaotic Energy 2 weeks ago:
Do not recommend. I’m on apixaban now because it doesn’t require frequent blood tests

I got a pixel for GrapheneOS
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 3 weeks ago:
It becomes an integrity check arms race. Graphene OS devs not keen on this idea, but they may not have a choice in the near future

Not true, vanguard sends me vote notifications. Basically, vanguard will vote on the board the way the vanguard shareholders do
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 3 weeks ago:
They already diverge by having a network permission and a bunch of other differences, and not being allowed to use Google Pay because of those differences

What I want is being able to hand draw something quickly in my notes, what’s the app that has text and drawings?
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 4 weeks ago:
I still logged in to Facebook on the number pad back in the day. If you told me I had to use a touchscreen I’d say I’d rather get a bigger physical keyboard because I need to feel what I’m typing and to see the whole site I’m typing in
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 4 weeks ago:
You said
Imagine a calculator that reported “1+1=3”. It seems silly to use such a machine to do long division.
Every single person alive has made silly addition mistakes. Is it silly to trust those people with long division?
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 4 weeks ago:
But you didn’t say that. You said you can’t trust something that makes basic mistakes. Humans make them all the time. You can’t trust any human?
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 4 weeks ago:
My phone did have a browser, but you had to type in using the numbers. What I really wanted was a phone with a bigger physical keyboard
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 4 weeks ago:
R and r are the same letter. You can tell because a word that starts with r can be written with R at the start of the sentence
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 4 weeks ago:
A Math PhD will eventually make a simple arithmetic mistake if you ask them to do enough problems. That doesn’t invalidate more difficult proofs they have published in papers

- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 4 weeks ago:
Crypto is much faster than an international wire and cheaper for sending less than $5000
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 4 weeks ago:
The difference is that crypto is better than ever. I tried to send an overseas wire (to a friend from real life) and my bank just told me security blocked it and I can’t push it through
No problem sending USDC, after some minutes it confirmed and he was able to withdraw

Nobody had a demand for an iPhone before it was released. People just wanted a better Nokia

This is an improvement. A lot just don’t have any paper at all because they are afraid people will steal it and bring it home
- Comment on Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse 1 month ago:
They are credible threats now. I think Bluesky is a bigger threat to Twitter. Some posters said when they posted about Russia’s war they got better interactions on Bluesky because X downranks the topic

If you screenshot the post, there’s no guarantee it’s not doctored
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 month ago:
Just checked the laptop first:
It’s 9.8w on idle (including laptop screen and RAM and everything) and 16.8w scrolling a website
That’s 50% more power usage. Over 20 seconds up from 196 J to 316 J
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 month ago:
The CPU usage is 10%, but the energy usage is NOT 6.5 watts (with 65 watts being 100% usage)
That’s not how CPU usage works
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 month ago:
Not really, my CPU is a 65W CPU. When it chugs hard the VRM is not even warm. My cooler is much weaker
