Oh, yes, you’re right! I read the question again.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 1 day ago:
Commendable for the kid to be thinking outside of the box, and a bit shitty of the teacher for not giving them maybe half a point (because it’s a correct answer, but not the correct/expected answer). The test maker is also to blame - they should’ve taken care to eliminate all ambiguity - it’s a math test after all.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 2 days ago:
I’d be interested in how this documenting could be done. If you’re a manufacturer, you’d probably want to keep everything secret - except what’s needed for a patent for example - otherwise the competition might get an idea of the proprietary things you make in house.

I feel like this should’ve been discussed before moving in together. Still not too late to talk though - if he’s even a little bit considerate, he’ll agree to only smoke outside.

The irony is that before M1, while they were on x86, Apple computers were not that different than the rest besides having special motherboards and funky firmware. Even ARM now isn’t proprietary tech, it just isn’t adopted by the others (yet). All in all it’s an artificial distinction so that some people can be separated from their money.
- Comment on Not how you ride a horse 1 week ago:
Someone probably wanted to post it somewhere where you can’t see the image in its full height (e.g. Instagram), but cropping it like that required the bubble to be redone.
Not excusable, of course, and disrespectful to the artist - I’m just trying to think of the reasoning.

I’m not talking about the US specifically either. It’s a global problem.

Traditional English vs Simplified English. I won’t tell you which is which.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 weeks ago:
Came here to say that. If AI has the leeway to affect things in negative way, then we’re not focusing on the right thongs to begin with. If kids are graded sometimes for the amount of (not necessarily coherent and sound) amount of text they’re able to spit out, this is what you get.

I’ve always done it like up to step 7, then finishing it, and it’s been fine for shirts and some pants - but I guess the extra steps do make sense for thicker fabrics.

Fair enough.

So this somehow doesn’t apply to blankets and bedsheets?
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 2 weeks ago:
That’s if you can choose a middle name at all. In many places (including where I am) you only get to choose the given name, then the middle name is for example the father’s, and the last name is the family name.

In case the paper calendar on the wall has stopped working, you can always go to a 13 year old YouTube upload and look for this comment.

Cool, thanks a bunch. Looks like I’ll be installing this right away.

Things like this incentivise me to sit down and write an alternative. I just wish I had the time and energy to do so.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 3 weeks ago:
Install a custom launcher - this way you can mostly expect it to stay consistent across major upgrades.
I understand the reasons for liking the stock experience, but that comes with the risk of getting an overhaul every once in a while.

I have a one year gap in mine and I can’t remember anyone asking about it.

Fair point, but good luck convincing them about it.
- Comment on Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s 2 months ago:
I’m not saying “don’t make progress”, I’m saying “try to make progress across the board”.
- Comment on Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s 2 months ago:
IMO another example of pushing numbers ahead of what’s actually needed, and benefitting manufacturers way more than the end user. Get this for bragging rights? Sure, you do you. Some server/enterprise niche use case? Maybe. But I’m sure that for 90% of people, including even those with a bit more demanding storage requirements, a PCIe 4 NVMe drive is still plenty in terms of throughput. At the same time SSD prices have been hovering around the same point for the past 3-4-5 years, and there hasn’t been significant development in capacity - 8 TB models are still rare and disproportionately expensive, almost exotic. I personally would be much more excited to see a cool, efficient and reasonably priced 8/16 TB PCIe 4 drive than a pointlessly fast 1/2/4 TB PCIe 5.

Assuming you meant GB/s, not TB/s, I think it’s for the sake of convenience when doing comparisons - there are still SATA SSDs around and in terms of sequential reads and writes those top out at what the interface allows, i.e. 500-550 MB/s.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 2 months ago:
Windows Mail was IMO perfect for simple mail at home. Now they replaced it with Outlook with slightly updated UI but also with ads.
Guess what - I started looking for alternatives. So far Wino Mail seems pretty good - someone else on here recommended it.

Technically correct if you die… with the caveat that you won’t be able to do much else.
