For the Tesla it’s very easy to use correctly.
Not supported by the evidence, but sure, keep relying on your feelings and telling other people it’s their problem. Projection.
- Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes 6 months ago:
I’m saying the technology leads to more harm than good in its current implementation. I don’t care it’s better than your Audi, it still sucks overall. “Used correctly” shouldn’t be a huge factor in a good design. It should be easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly. This is not the current state. It’s very easy to use incorrectly, as you admit, and the accidents demonstrate this.
- Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes 6 months ago:
I don’t really give a fuck what the terminology is to be frank. The technology leads to unsafe behavior.
- Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes 6 months ago:
So I assume autopilot disconnects as soon as you take your hands off the wheel, or there’s iris tracking to ensure you’re looking at the road? It’s not like either of these is exotic technology.
- Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained 6 months ago:
I miss the old Gigabyte Dual BIOS, where it had a backup BIOS in case the default got corrupted.
This is on many higher end enthusiast/overclocking type motherboards, I’ve had it on multiple MSI and Gigabyte boards.

Oooh, I think you’re onto something here. That’s definitely part of it.
- Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification 6 months ago:
The style in which that post by Ophelia_SK is written seems exactly like chatGPT. I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly makes me feel so strongly, but it’s something to do with how sentences and paragraphs are constructed. They always have the same cadence with the commas and how thoughts are laid out. It’s got that generically positive tone as well.
Kinda cool though, I feel like I’m becoming able to spot these. It’s like being able to spot a photoshop by the pixels. I’ve seen quite a few shops in my time.

A United States. You wouldn’t say “a uniform”. You would say “an underling”. First one has a y sound to start, second has a u sound to start.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 7 months ago:
I’m saying upgrade what it’s considered to recall. No OTA hot fix, car goes back to the shop. A proper recall just like any other recall. A software issue is just as dangerous as a hardware issue for something like an accelerator pedal. To be clear, this isn’t Tesla hate, this is modern “sell unfinished products” hate. I’d say the same thing for any other manufacturer.
If the blinker pattern needs to be updated, that’s fine for OTA in my opinion. The accelerator, brakes, steering, anything safety critical - nah. Recall for that, proper recall.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 7 months ago:
It’s not Tesla that I hate. It’s shipping products too quickly.
The inconvenience is the point. I want people to be inconvenienced, myself included. That means people complain to one another. I’ll know which models suck simply by talking to people around me. I do not want quiet stealthy patches for things like an accelerator pedal. Either do it right or pay the price. We used to make cars without hot fixes, we don’t need to start. It will allow auto manufacturers to further cut corners and push for faster releases with less testing, and we pay the price with our lives.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 7 months ago:
Software updates should absolutely be recalls. Ship a complete vehicle or don’t. I absolutely do not want cars to turn in what games are today. I do not want hotfixes on my car because they didn’t test. Fuck an OTA update too, I don’t want that either, if they need an update it’s a recall and the cars have to go back to the shop. I want it to hurt as much as possible.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 7 months ago:
Sub $400 windows laptops have disgusting trackpads, plastic outer cases, washed out uncalibrated screens, and poor battery life compared to an M1 MBA. Not even remotely an option.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 7 months ago:
I disagree it’s overpriced. The base model Air at $850 is great, meets their needs, and decreases the amount of family sysadmin tasks I’d have to do for them if they had Windows or Linux laptops.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 7 months ago:
I did not say that. I said I’d actually like 16GB. It’s my family users (normal, non nerds) who have no issue with 8GB RAM and having 30+ tabs and two dozen apps running.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 7 months ago:
How do you know I’m in the minority when I didn’t say how I use my laptop? I don’t get it. I do use it to its potential, and there’s no logo on the back. It’s in a case.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 7 months ago:
Beats the $600-1400 PC laptops that I would consider trash based on the trackpad alone. I’ve had it for years now and haven’t found myself wanting for anything but dual booting.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 7 months ago:
I dunno, I’ve got a base model M1 and it feels like one of the best laptops I’ve owned. Overpriced is exactly what I feel it isn’t. $1000 for a decent laptop is not bad. Nothing below that price has a good trackpad.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 7 months ago:
A more apt analogy would be to use the truck bed size. Horsepower is more akin to the CPU speed.
Most people don’t fill their truck bed just like most people don’t fill their RAM. I’ve had no issues with my family users who just do typical light laptop tasks on 8GB RAM. I think the memory upgrades need to be much, much cheaper, but 8GB works absolutely fine IME. I would like 16GB but it’d be a waste for the other users in my household.
- Comment on Wgen you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 7 months ago:
You can’t pay for donations as that encourages risky behavior. People who shouldn’t donate will if they can make money.

They’re good… for now. Nothing terrible has happened since their acquisition, Bandcamp Fridays are still going on and fees haven’t raised, but I feel like it’s only a matter of time. The only new feature I can think of that was added was allowing payments natively without PayPal.
- Comment on When you and your friend go out to your car to get high in the bar parking lot and get back to the smoking patio. 7 months ago:
Plenty of people, at least at one time, used clambake to refer to a hotbox. “Clambake weed” returns plenty of results, although it does appear the inverse sausagefest definition is more popular. Why can’t it be both?
- Comment on When you and your friend go out to your car to get high in the bar parking lot and get back to the smoking patio. 7 months ago:
Clambake has always meant smoking weed in an enclosed space to me, typically a car. See also: fishbowl

The amount of niche info that would have been found searchable forum posts in years prior, that has now gotten sucked up into Discord where it can’t be found, fucking blows.

- Comment on Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton 7 months ago:
I’m not saying it’s good, I’m saying it’s easy.
- Comment on Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton 7 months ago:
I can’t imagine being a normal consumer and wanting to set them up.
It’s quite simple on iOS. IIRC, when logging into the paypal website you get a prompt asking if you’d like to use passkeys. Accept that, then you get a keychain prompt asking if you’d like to make/use a passkey. Click continue and pass FaceID authentication, then you’re in with a passkey. For future logins you click the login with passkey and it faceIDs you in. It’s easy.

I am logged in. I checked the first time this was pointed out and couldn’t see it then, either.

I still don’t even see the things they’re talking about. Wonder if they’re rolling it out in groups.
- Comment on Cable lobby vows “years of litigation” to avoid bans on blocking and throttling 7 months ago:
The NCTA has repeatedly stated over the years that net neutrality rules aren’t needed because ISPs already follow net neutrality principles. “Internet service providers have always delivered open, unrestricted Internet service. Consumers enjoy the web content and applications of their choosing without any blocking, throttling, or interference,” the group said.
Lmao, really? The audacity of these cunts.
