- Comment on The Texas man who shot a British woman after an argument about President Trump won’t face charges. The jury hails from a pro-gun pro-Trump part of the state, a legal expert says 3 days ago:
Title should say “the grand jury”, which is different from just “jury”. The former is involved in choosing whether or not to indict, and the latter is involved in choosing whether or not to convict. (AFAIK, IANAL)

Why even skate? Just generate a video of it.
- Comment on Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So 1 week ago:
Pi 4 has over twice the performance per watt (see the-diy-life.com/raspberry-pi-drag-race-pi-1-to-p…), so I think that may be the sweet spot for certain uses, but I agree that the 3 is still a perfectly capable device for so many projects.
Also the 3 is the last one to have a full HDMI port which is makes it really appealing for display related projects.
- Comment on Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So 1 week ago:
After reading your comment on price I checked Microcenter, an authorized pi dealer, and you’re right. The pi 5 with 16gb is listed at $200.

That is a great honey pot for detecting bots.
- Comment on Shanghai scientists create computer chip in fiber thinner than a human hair, yet can withstand crushing force of 15.6 tons — fiber packs 100,000 transistors per centimeter 2 weeks ago:
Ok, then I’m amazed somebody has such a tiny finger.

That doesn’t look even close to as thin as a human hair.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 2 weeks ago:
You should take notes about how you set up each app. I have a directory for each self hosted app, and I include a README.md that includes stuff like links to repos and tutorials, lists of nuances of the setup, itemized lists of things that I’d like to do with it in the future, and any shortcomings it has for my purposes. Of course I also include build scripts so I can just “make bounce” and the software starts up without me having to remember all the app-specific commands and configs.
If a tutorial gets you 95% of the way, and you manage to get the other 5% on your own, write down that info. Future you will be thankful. If not, write a section called “up next” that details where you’re running into challenges and need to make improvements.

I hate X, but good luck with this:
The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be,
- Comment on Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" 5 weeks ago:
Respect is earned, not granted. You don’t earn respect by telling people to glue pepperoni into their pizza, or saying there are 5 R’s in strawberry.

The modern internet kinda sucks. I wish I could time travel back to pre-2010.

- Comment on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models 1 month ago:
I hate the notch, and I used to say I’d rather have a bezel, but after going back to one of my pre-notch laptops, not having a bezel is nice. I still hate the notch though. I wish I could opt for just not having a built in webcam. It’s not like they use it for faceid, and I use an external webcam for work meetings anyway. Plus the iPhone seamlessly works as a webcam.

but that’s because the OS is designed in such a way where there’s nothing there
This is not true. There are multiple third party apps that help you get that space back so menu icons don’t just disappear behind the notch. I don’t use those though, and instead blindly drag my menu icons behind the notch repeatedly until the one I want pops out from behind it.

“Backyard cheese facility” is one hilarious innuendo.

I wasn’t going to watch but this comment caught my attention. Those were definitely cool transitions, and the video overall was not too long and worth the watch.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 month ago:
you can sign up to receive updates on our AI Window and be among the first to try it and give us feedback.
I wonder if we all sign up and tell them we don’t want it if they would actually listen.
- Comment on The Enshittification of Plex Is Kicking Off, Starting with Free Roku Users 2 months ago:
The current Roku app is so awful that nobody’s going to want to pay for Plex after using it. When I first saw it, I actually thought Plex was trolling Roku by giving them the shittiest possible experience for Plex.
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 2 months ago:
That comes out to $1.37 a day. I definitely think hardware should last way longer than that, and I even have computers running at my house that are over 12 years old, but $1.37 a day for something that most people use as much as their phone is not a bad deal. In this economy, that’s like half of a gas station soft drink, or like 10 miles worth of gas.

I don’t understand this. With $1300 can’t they just buy the thing they are hoping to get? Is a big part of this paying for the thrill of winning, but never experiencing that?
