- Comment on NBN Co to accelerate higher speed tiers and launch multi-gigabit speeds in September 2025 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s not happening. They’re desperate to push revenue per user up, so they keep hiking low speed prices to push people towards 100+ megabit plans.
- Comment on Factorio: Space Age sold over 400,000 copies and sets a new player count record 2 weeks ago:
The foundry reminds me of Space Exploration’s industrial furnace and casting machines.
- Comment on Inquiry warns distrustful public wouldn’t accept COVID measures in future pandemic. 2 weeks ago:
don’t use masks, wait use masks
IIRC this one was about ensuring the supply of masks for medical staff early on before production ramped up.
- Comment on Churches Look Skyward for Energy Savings | Big federal subsidies drive a surge in solar installations on church rooftops 2 weeks ago:
That’s not the sort of power from above churches are supposed to believe in.

Fulgora. It’s an experience.

Just got to my first new planet.
- Comment on Wednesday it is, my dudes. 3 weeks ago:
IIRC different species of frogs make wildly different sounds, so all of the languages might just be what type of frog lives in that country.
- Comment on South Australia’s upper house narrowly rejects ‘Trumpian’ bill to wind back abortion care 4 weeks ago:
Our lizard people see how much money their lizard people are making torturing their peasants and want to get in on the action. That’s why we have the push towards private health care.

- Comment on TikTok parent company Bytedance sets aside $1 Billion to cover future European data privacy fines as the Chinese company faces a barrage of lawsuits over its mishandling of children’s data 5 weeks ago:
If their response is to put aside money to pay the fine instead of actually stopping doing the illegal thing, the billion dollar fines are obviously still not big enough.
- Comment on Own Goal: Middle East war to hit oil price, so gas price, so electricity price 5 weeks ago:
Ugh, hydrogen.
Hydrogen vehicles are the magical combination of expensive to buy and expensive to run. They just get mothballed when trials are over and the funding runs out making the whole thing a waste of time and money.
Battery electric vehicles are cheap to run so they get used for whatever workload they can do, even if they can’t do the most demanding jobs yet. BEV bus can’t do the longest route all day? Put it on a shorter one. It’ll get used for something.
- Comment on Own Goal: Middle East war to hit oil price, so gas price, so electricity price 5 weeks ago:
Looks like only smaller ones so far. John Deere are launching some in 2026.
- Comment on What’s the easiest way to pull ~30mA from a USB 3 port without getting a warning from Windows? 5 weeks ago:
QC 2.0 is proprietary but it would probably still be identified as a device on a standard USB port. For $2 it’s probably worth giving one a try, anyway.
- Comment on What’s the easiest way to pull ~30mA from a USB 3 port without getting a warning from Windows? 5 weeks ago:
Looking at the PD spec I got the impression devices are supposed to pull the D+ pin up to a certain voltage, but I got lost partway through.
OP asked for the easiest way and deciphering the spec docs probably isn’t it.
- Comment on What’s the easiest way to pull ~30mA from a USB 3 port without getting a warning from Windows? 5 weeks ago:
One of the QC 2.0 type-A trigger boards?

So they’re YouTube, but with no video controls. Awesome.
- Comment on Mahle CEO Arnd Franz says hydrogen will fail without fossil fuels 1 month ago:
IIRC, pumping hydrogen is only fast if the pump has a substantial rest between vehicles. Get a line of FCEVs wanting filled and you’re looking at filling times not much faster than charging a battery EV.

Uh, is that Uzaki-chan?
Haven’t been following the manga, I take it?

- Comment on Telstra, Optus to delay 3G network closure amid public safety concerns 2 months ago:
No VoLTE, probably. A bunch of early 4G phones drop back to 3G to make voice calls.

Sudden onset defenestration. It’s an epidemic.
- Comment on An algorithm, among the many other things they ruin, is causing stability problems on Intel Core CPUs 3 months ago:
And then after everyone read the microcode bit and ran off to write articles, Intel added a note about the corrosion thing. It totally wasn’t timed that way on purpose.

- Comment on Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem. As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power 6 months ago:
If it’s turned off, it’s like a battery that isn’t connected to anything. You have a voltage across the positive and negative terminals, but power can’t actually flow unless there’s somewhere for it to go.
- Comment on Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem. As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power 6 months ago:
Kind of, yeah. But excess solar can be turned off almost instantly so it isn’t like it’s an impossible problem.

“There are a lot of results that aren’t what you’re looking for.”
Okay, great?
