• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxi Drops Off Passengers in Middle of Intersection… Handpicked Riders Say the “Performance Was Great”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Are these cheaper or is it just Uber etc trying to maximise their profits by cutting out the salary bit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t realise it wasn’t already banned. It’s been banned in the UK since 1999.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex has paywalled my server!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just some glitch. They’ve not said anything about watching stuff locally becoming a pay thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll probably keep using it and see what happens. To be honest I’ll just go where the content is, and if the new people fuck it up it’ll likely go elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First server: Buying hardware in a developing country⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent a few years living in a developing country in Africa so I have some appreciation of what you’re going through. I used to find lots of technology shops on Google Maps, etc, then when I got there they just sold phone covers and SIM cards and knock-off iPhones.

  I can’t really offer much advice but have you considered just making something based on a second hand laptop? A lot of them are still pretty powerful just with old batteries and they’re designed to run efficiently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IPv6 for self hosters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought it’s kind of odd how frivolous we are with IPv6 addresses given the problems that gave us with IPv4. US DoD has like 200 million IPv4 addresses and they probably only use a tiny fraction of that. There’s also a bunch of old companies like HP, IBM, and Apple, that have entire /8s, so that’s 16 million IPs each. I know IPv6 is ridiculously bigger but we’re talking about giving IP addresses to our lightbulbs now at a time we’re also looking to inhabit other planets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Telegraph has deleted this sob story ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually know a couple of teachers at private schools and they say the people being hit hardest aren’t the rich twats but the families who scrimp and save just enough to try and give their kids the best opportunities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨53% of Israeli public opposes aid entering Gaza, new poll shows⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think Israelis are getting a very neutral view of the war from their media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grieve with me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried this and had limited success. Then I just got a wireless charger and it’s fine now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find that the docs usually consist of a quick start guide covering some ultra tight scenario that doesn’t apply to most people, and reference material that’s just some total brain dump of every possible command without any kind of context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe let them know how many people skipped their question?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not against some political stuff but there’s so much circlejerk opinion pieces that get posted. It’s just a bunch of people posting stuff that confirms their own beliefs, which is not better than what happens on the likes of Xitter. It’s just a different kind of echo chamber but people are okay with it because it’s left rather than right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 297 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t want to say this but I can’t help myself.

  It’s addictive, not addicting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 289 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is everyone posting about Oblivion simply new to it? Seems weird to me that everyone’s so excited about it but it’s probably just because I played it to death the last time it came round.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda's Oblivion remaster passes four million players, breaks series concurrent records⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the Skyblivion people might want to think about moving to Skorrowind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan to oppose Trump pressure to join anti-China trade bloc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump burnt decades of hard earned goodwill for absolutely nothing, now he wants to cash in on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is excited about money!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we’re moaning over nothing again here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump administration decides to fund CVE cybersecurity tracker after all⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s already alternatives, why not just let them take over? Trump complained about the US giving up DNS, now he’s complaining about CVE. He wants to control everything but doesn’t want to pay for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  99% chance this’ll become free before too long. Nobody will pay for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not as against this as everyone else. If you want a AAA game without microtransactions, in-game advertising, and all the other byllshit you get nowadays you’re gonna have to expect the company will want to make that money up in other places. Games have been like £50/$60 since I was a kid and we’ve been lucky that the prices haven’t risen with inflation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine if you could go on the Nintendo store and buy a game you couldn’t even run, or had to check a third party website to see if it ran acceptably and let you use all the buttons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS2 Memory Cards⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had loads of memory cards back when they were actually current technology, so did my friends. I don’t remember anyone ever reporting issues with them other than losing them or accidentally wiping someone else’s save games. I think they’re pretty reliable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  SotN is one of my top five games but yeah, it is too easy. Don’t forget that when you finish it you’re only half way through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking leeches⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think just because people are landlords that makes them bastards though. We’re letting a house out and I think we treat our tenants well. We don’t rip them off, we fix stuff when it’s broken, and since we have a fixed rate mortgage our costs haven’t gone up in several years and so neither has the rent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people even function on a 9:00 to 5?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just leave my jacket on the chair and pick up my stuff like I’m going to a meeting. Then I fuck off and do whatever I’ve got to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t want a small phone, I just want a normal phone that I can use in one of my normal sized hands. I have an iPhone 13 Mini right now and it’s pretty ideal but I know they’ll go end of life one day and there’s nothing to replace it right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Won’t happen. Enforcing this would cost way too much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just hit 230 on my phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds like a problem for them, not me.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A couple of months ago my manager pulled me aside and very nicely told me off for not taking me annual leave. She said she wanted to see it all used before it reset.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds like a problem for them, not me.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a normal thing in the US? I live in the UK and I don’t think I’ve ever had a vacation request denied in my whole life, even when I submit them with less than two weeks notice.
