- Comment on Microsoft fires two more employees for participating in Palestine protests on campus 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t really expect them to do anything different, but at point someone’s gonna have the “Are we the baddies?” realization right?
- Comment on microsoft 4 weeks ago:
You just reminded me of the arguments I had with people when the start menu changed. They really wanted to press start, go to all programs, look for software publisher folder, look for software name folder, look for software name, click. They swear it was more efficient than pinning it to the start menu, or pressing start and type the first couple of letters to find a program and start it.
- Comment on What would be an inexpensive and reliable way to set up a personal-use VPN tunnel? 5 weeks ago:
Hmm, not sure if this will help, but I bought an Asus router a couple years ago and discovered last year it had this functionality built in. Really easy to setup on the router, installed openvpn client on phone and laptop and now I have access to my home network.
Works pretty flawlessly for me, but I should mention that Asus has had some security issues in the past, but they did release updates pretty quickly
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 1 month ago:
My favorite game of all time is Star control 2, and this was the closest thing I could imagine to a modern version it.
They simplified some of the planetary resource gathering, ship upgrades and exploration, and I was hoping they would expand on that in the sequels. Unfortunately they did the exact opposite and simplified it even further.
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly bans LibreOffice developer's email account, blocks appeal 1 month ago:
Yep, I don’t remember the exact phrasing, but in these situations, I assume incompetence before I assume evil intent.
Maybe it is intentional but the incompetence is in how obvious they are.
- Comment on Nintendo warns Switch 2 GameChat users: “Your chat is recorded” 3 months ago:
I’m surprised they added voice/video chat. One report of a pedo talking to kids on their switch and no parent is gonna buy any Nintendo products for their kids
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 3 months ago:
Interesting, I wonder if the games with a bigger improvement is more CPU bound than GPU bound
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 4 months ago:
How is work an insult? What am I supposed be? Asleep?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Taking the most naive view here, but is there any chance, increasing the price will in any way prevent more layoffs in the video game industry?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
It’s like a new turning test to be able to tell if something is satire or an April Fools joke.
- Comment on Cheat in spot the differences 8 months ago:
Yep, it’s how magic eye images work
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 11 months ago:
Interesting way to put it. The first thing it made me think is that if they did the 2nd part entirely within your PC, would it be ok privacy-wise, and would the consumers be ok with it?
I haven’t looked into the current iterations options, but I think I still want the option to turn it off. Personally I’m less concerned with privacy and more concerned with it using up my computers resources.
