- Comment on Microsoft removes Windows 11 24H2 official support on 8th 9th 10th Gen Intel CPUs 9 hours ago:
This really pisses me off, but because Windows 11 is not significantly different from Windows 10. I’m running Windows 10 on decades-old hardware designed for Win7.
Sure, its a bit pokey, but most of the bottleneck is HDD technology.
DDR2 throughput is about 8GB/s. SATA III is 600 Mb/s
Just installing a SSD and having 8 GB of memory is enough for the average office worker who has a browser, mail, PDF, and productivity suite.
Anything released in the past 6 years should be sufficient for this.
My bet, hands down, is that they are betting hard on AI.
- Comment on Pope Francis hospitalized with bronchitis, Vatican says 1 day ago:
As much as the Catholic church gets a bad rap, and regardless of the fact that we is well earned, his anti-Trump sentiment greatly disturbs Catholic MAGA.
I heard a Catholic family member express their happiness that a new pope is on the way.

If you send an open letter and it gets enough views.

Yes, that one.

- Comment on What are the possible ways a computer can kill you? 1 week ago:
I actually did #2 because I was fixing one. If you REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING and have ALL THE TOOLS AND PROCESSES NECESSARY and the power supply is worth a few hundred dollars, it MIGHT be worth it.
Guess what? I still blew one up.
Stay safe friends. Recycle it and buy a new one.

In all fairness, meta should be assessed a fee of 250k per EACH pirated work.
This would amount to forfeiting all assets to doge.

Interesting idea. How do you deal with illegal trade?
- Comment on Switching out UPS batteries 2 weeks ago:
I’ll admit, it could, but the battery conditioning might still struggle.
- Comment on Switching out UPS batteries 2 weeks ago:
This is correct.
Additionally, you would not want to substitute a larger or smaller capacity battery as the charging cycle of the UPS is built for a specific capacity.
- Comment on It is time to ban email. 2 weeks ago:
None of these examples are problems caused by email itself.
The Metropolitan Police has apologised to victims of the Westminster “honeytrap” scandal after it accidentally sent an email which named all of them.
This could have just as easily been a social media post or a newspaper publication.
sent an email newsletter with all patient email addresses in the ‘To’ field, rather than the ‘Bcc’ field
This is caused by not understanding the tech just as much as they described. Sure, carbon copies are antiquated and hardly used. With those stakes, the newsletter should be sent using a managed process, not a human. Using some kind of proprietary delivery system has its own risks. I wouldn’t want a specific HIV app on my phone to identify myself, and not everyone even uses smart phones.
Search any social network at any time of the year and you’ll find people kvetching about its inadequacies.
Friendly reminder to use anything other than email if you need to have a conversation between multiple people that you have any hope in following.
You can literally find people bitching about anything. Look into why people hate Tom Hanks. Snarky complaints on social media are not great points
Email is getting out of hand and people use it in suboptimal ways.
Not everyone meditates on the most optimum way to use a tech product. You ever watch someone open Chrome, type Google in the unibar, locate the search field, and then type a url? I have watched techs paid much more than I do this same thing.
I am only now realizing that some … [People] do not understand the concept of sending a file via email.
Again, everyone needs to learn it. I have met so many people afraid of their computer that this does not surprise me.
- Comment on Project A-ko (1987) is a silly, over the top good time 2 weeks ago:
It’s absolutely the product of a different time. That being said, I had a blast every time I watched this movie. I think between this and Ranma my friend’s egg started cracking.
- Comment on Windows 11 Microsoft Paint AI Generative erase is now available for everyone 4 weeks ago:
Seems like a lot to add to paint, which isn’t intended to be a an intense photo editing tool.
“In fact, it ruined most of the images in our tests, which is also okay, given the Generative Erase is not supposed to be perfect for all types of images.”

- Comment on Getting up to speed with Gundam 5 weeks ago:
Not really advice, just sharing an experience.
I started watching it in release order. I got burnt out and had trouble with double zeta due to the shift in tone. I really liked Witch From Mercury, but I haven’t been able to drag myself back.

- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 1 month ago:
I have heard it repeated several times. It’s based on how virtual assistants are allowed to listen over your mic for keywords, applications like Facebook requesting full microphone access, and people with stories of getting ads for things after having a conversation about the same.
The third could be a form of recency bias; I just learned about this, and now I see it everywhere. Also, it’s easy to know who is in your circle, and items you recently searched could be advertised to your friends. I saw this by getting sudden ads for handguns after getting an Amazon link from my gun crazy friend.

My older teenage son got into the game pretty hard for a month or two on beta or whatever and got me to play.
The mechanics are fun. I’d like to see more story.
- Comment on As a word of caution for those buying physical used games on Bluray, check the disc for holes. 2 months ago:
25-35 hours. I’m about to cross the temple of the ancients.
In my opinion, it’s acceptable to possess a ROM in this situation. Just remember up use a VPN for protection.

It’s actually been good so far, but I couldn’t pass up the meme when I saw this image.
Also, I will be surprised if there is no tournament.

- Comment on Glass Reflection talks about Fall 2024 season. 4 months ago:
First time watching this person.
They only finished watching 2 anime this season.
Dungeon People (I liked it) Ramen Akuneko (I didn’t watch)
They recommended Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian and Bye Bye Earth, along with Yatagarasu, Slime, and Spice and wolf.
They feel that most people only watch 5-6 shows, so it’s fine.
Since they watched 9 shows this spring it gives them credibility.
There is some discussion about how one feels about their favorite shows.
My first impression of this influencer is that they are experiencing changes in taste.
My rant is that everyone slept on dead dead demons dededede destruction. Same reason. My cred is that I probably watched 45 shows this year.
Also, my taste is shit.
