phonesextra graphics cards in your computers? - Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 6 days ago:
Why must people pay video games? If people don’t like it, just don’t play it. Watch a YouTube playthrough if you must.
Automating the experience of art is such a dystopian nightmare.
- Comment on Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you 1 week ago:
I miss GameFAQs text pages. Now it’s YouTube videos stretched out to 10 minutes to explain 30 seconds worth of info.
- Comment on Popular self-hosting services worth running 1 week ago:
Got it.
That seems pretty cool.
- Comment on Popular self-hosting services worth running 1 week ago:
I’m a little confused. It’s this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.

What’s the name of that plugin?

Cheers.
Do you recommend tapo cameras? Are they poe?

How do you manage remote viewing without internet?
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 5 weeks ago:
I just used subtitles
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 5 weeks ago:
I run a software compressor on my sff PC that I use as a media player. No expensive sound system required.
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 5 weeks ago:
Does a high end sound system actually solve the problem? Or does having a high end sound system just mean you no longer give a shit about annoying other people. Like the people who rev their engine so all their neighbours know how much they spend on their car.
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 5 weeks ago:
That’s what I do, and I installed an audio compressor to level out the audio volume. Now I don’t have to stress about disturbing the neighbours with TV explosions.
- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 5 weeks ago:
Because some people do click it. Children, old people, tech illiterate people. The exact target market for those wanting to exploit people.
- Comment on GOG "won't be making absolute statements in either direction" about their future approach to AI use 1 month ago:
All I know is my gut says “maybe”
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 1 month ago:
I was using realvnc but I hit the 3 free PCs quickly. I’ve since moved to nomachine and run it “locally” over tailscale.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I don’t hear anyone talk about the hottest 100 at all these days.
I work most public holidays and was a bit if a ritual to listen to it while we worked. When they moved it I just no longer listened to it. Now I don’t think I know anyone that listens to it.
- Comment on Australia’s red and yellow beach flags can confuse tourists. Is it time to change them? 2 months ago:
Lots of things will confuse tourists because “tourists” is a large collective of people and a fraction of those people don’t seek to understand the world around them. The only thing worth doing is adding a few common international languages on the “swim between the flags” signs (if it’s not already done).
Otherwise, what else can get the message across that isn’t communicated with flags, signage, and a literal team of fully equipped life savers set up in front of a busy section of beach?

RAID5 and RAID6 can lose 1 and 2 drives respectively without data loss.

- Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality 2 months ago:
The satellite Cassini passed through a less dense section of Saturns rings and was met only by dust particles, despite the rings being populated by objects between 10 meters and the size of mountains.
- Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality 2 months ago:
Yes, Cassini
- Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality 2 months ago:
It shouldn’t be too hard to engineer orbit decay as a feature to avoid space junk.
Consider that space junk is so sparce it’s not really much if a consideration for launches. It’s like the rings of Saturn: the likelihood of a collision is so remote that they didn’t even consider it when we had a satellite move through it.
- Comment on How long until we can start shorting years to 2 numbers again? 2 months ago:
Just start by dropping it down to 3 numbers and see how you go from there.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 2 months ago:
Sounds like they are a liability when you put it that way.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 3 months ago:
If we lose the meaning of the word NAS then we can effectively talk about it. And enough new people are coming in and being taught that a NAS is the thing that runs Plex that it’s sometimes impossible to have a conductive conversation.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 3 months ago:
For me it’s not about what else I can run on it. I want my services separated from my storage devices. If I throw everything into one physical machine it takes everything down if something goes wrong. It’s also harder to do upgrades without needing to replace entire machines
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 3 months ago:
And as usual everyone is saying NAS, but talking about servers with a built in NAS.
I’m not saying you can’t run your services on the same machine as your NAS, I’m just confused why every time there’s a conversation about NASs it’s always about what software it can run.
- Comment on Exclusive: Writer Confirms ‘Star Trek: Khan’ Is Being Treated As Canon, Talks Potential Future Audio Series 4 months ago:
Lucas would always say that the EU was canon. Not because he had supervised them, not because they were written well, but because being canon means the fans will feel they “need” to consume it.
No studio is going to outright say anything is non-canon because it’s a bad marketing technique.
- Comment on MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On 4 months ago:
The whole point of jellyfin/Plex is to provide a feature rich UI for your video files on your hard drive. This is walking back from that to the point that you may as well just use vlc and map network drives on windows. Heck, just carrying around a SSD full of videos is easier than this.
