- Comment on You guys have funding? 1 week ago:
I have no idea why I sub to this.
- Comment on Microsoft is struggling to get Windows Recall out the door — delays releasing first public preview. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t see why everyone hates this. It’s disabled by default and you don’t have to use it. I use Linux but thank god someone’s actually trying to make operating systems interesting again, nobody else has done anything interesting in years.
- Comment on Selfhosted alternative to google keep/onenote/evernote/goodnotes? 3 weeks ago:
What was wrong with Joplin? I was thinking about giving it a try.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 4 weeks ago:
VPNs are banned in Russia to make sure they don’t accidentally get inaccurate information about the special military operation.
- Comment on Ahoy me hearties 4 weeks ago:
It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.
- Comment on North Korea blows up parts of inter-Korean roads in a symbolic display of anger 5 weeks ago:
Their half I expect. They’re just gonna have to rebuild it one day.
- Comment on Ubisoft responds to rumors about Tencent’s potential buyout 1 month ago:
Outlaws seems totally fixable. I think people would likely start picking it up if they sorted out the boring missions.
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
There’s various contractual reasons they may say this but ultimately they probably can’t tell. Those terms and conditions don’t count for anything and can’t be enforced because no reasonable reads them. I’d just go ahead with using your router and wait for somebody to say something (feign ignorance).
- Comment on Oasis ticketing chaos prompts probe into dynamic pricing 2 months ago:
I’m more pissed that I sat in line for five hours then when I had the tickets in my basket the site crapped out and I got kicked.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
Most of the time a company does something like this they would just let it die. It’s good that Microsoft have at least made the effort to hand it over to a team who’s willing to keep it going.
- Comment on Braid: Anniversary Edition has sold so poorly that "the future is uncertain" for Jonathan Blow's company 3 months ago:
Well everyone who’s heard of it probably owns it and the new edition just added better graphics and all that behind the scenes stuff nobody ever cares about. I thought many parts of the OG game looked better in SD than HD anyway.
- Comment on Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs 4 months ago:
I must be doing something wrong with the maths. In 2021 it says they paid $76,000,000 in salaries to the Steam department, but only had 79 employees. Doesn’t that mean they earnt nearly $1,000,000 each?
- Comment on I thought he sounded fine. 4 months ago:
I can’t tell if we’re quoting Trump or Biden nowadays.
- Comment on My Windows Computer Just Doesn't Feel Like Mine Anymore 4 months ago:
I hate Windows for all the monetisation and privacy issues but I never really had problems with it killing my computer.
- Comment on British tech firm Raspberry Pi lines up £500m float 6 months ago:
But what are the other options that aren’t from some random Chinese company? I tried a Beaglebone but it was so slow at a similar price point.
- Comment on Northern Lights could be visible in England and Wales as severe solar storm to hit overnight 6 months ago:
Just to manage expectations, the northern lights don’t look nearly as good in real life. They look like night clouds.
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 6 months ago:
Amazon Prime is absolute dogshit anyway. Fallout wasn’t even that good, I don’t know why it got such a warm reception. Probably because people had such low hopes for it. Rings of Power was a billion dollar investment and only 30% of people finished the whole series.
- Comment on NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden 7 months ago:
Anyone remember when China routed the whole internet through their country for like nine minutes?
- Comment on Trust exercise 7 months ago:
Explain?
- Comment on [Retro Dodo]Google is killing Retro Dodo and Other Independent Sites 7 months ago:
On DuckDuckGo they’re the second result for “retro handheld news”.

- Comment on Advice wanted for a newbie on project 9 months ago:
I can’t speak for the new stuff because I’m using an old Prusa clone that’s years old now. I’ve heard good things about Bambu stuff.
- Comment on Advice wanted for a newbie on project 9 months ago:
I can’t answer everything because I don’t make models myself, but don’t buy a 3D printer. Getting it set up and calibrated takes ages, as well as the learning curve. Find a service online, you send them your file and they print it and send it back. PLA is the most common material for printing and I expect it would be fine here, I haven’t really used anything else and I have no problems. You can just make the plastic thicker to make it stronger.
The painting part should be fine but you’ll probably have to use a primer. Get a few prints so you can make mistakes.
Just find an online printing service and they should be able to answer a lot of your questions.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi is planning a London IPO, but its CEO expects “no change” in focus 9 months ago:
Any alternatives that aren’t Chinese?
- Comment on Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March 9 months ago:
Seems like a terrible investment, I can’t see what they can possibly do to add value. Everybody who wants to use Reddit is already on it and anything they do to try and milk it will just lose them users.
- Comment on Printer not moving to expected coordinate 10 months ago:
Maybe some setting to do with the size of the extruder? What happens if you increase the size of your bed?
- Comment on 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still 10 months ago:
I just upgraded from a 970GTX to a 2060S I bought on AliExpress. Bargain.
- Comment on Lapsus$: GTA 6 hacker sentenced to life in hospital prison 10 months ago:
Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.
- Comment on How can I set up a VPN that will use the client IP address for the connection? 11 months ago:
This can’t feasibly be done over the internet. An IP address must be unique as that’s how it finds it out of billions of other devices. There are situations where the same IP can route to different locations but that’s regional and way beyond what you’re trying to achieve here. It’s how something like 8.8.8.8 works without sending all the requests to a single location.
If your server is sending out traffic as 1.2.3.4 and then tries to send the encrypted traffic to the client at 1.2.3.4 the traffic would either be routed back to itself or the client would receive the plaintext traffic meant for the server.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 11 months ago:
You’re probably as stupid as the rest. I expect there’s loads of stuff you’ve just taken at face value that is completely wrong.
