- Comment on Court Orders Google (a Monopolist) To Knock It Off With the Monopoly Stuff. 3 weeks ago:
Just curious, does Apple allow all those 3rd party options? Not saying anything just wondering.
- Comment on After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft. 3 weeks ago:
I think the tech industry misses the good old days when the upgrade was noticable and exciting. Now it’s just this big media blitz and the upgrades are not that noticeable. Lol, nothin like watching a 30 minute video that they flip back and forth with. “Oh, I can see the difference”

- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 1 month ago:
Would a union be able to repeal this lame IT overtime pay expectation? This dumb rule was the $27.63 over ten years ago too. I once worked at a place and a co-worker was told by his staffing agency that they didn’t have to pay overtime.
- Comment on Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration 1 month ago:
Great news! Crazy to think that Valve is hijacking/liberating the Windows gaming library. You would think that Microsoft would be doing more to prevent this.

- Comment on Fallout Show Nominated For 16 Emmy Awards, Including Best Actor For Walton Goggins 4 months ago:
Just watched the 2nd episode and it’s was okay but it the main protagonist goes from desert to forest like 3 times walking. No food, a small thing of water. I’m probably missing something.

They should just create a tax based on how extra police force is needed due to gun violence.
- Comment on Starbuck milkshake is like tobacco 5 months ago:
I always feeling like a weirdo when just ordered a small coffee. Pro-tip: it’s better getting coffee at a bakery because their danishes didn’t come from plastic bags.
- Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 5 months ago:
This is no big deal because Windows users are used to ads. Sorry feeling snarky.
