- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] Death of affordable computing | Tariffs impact and investigation 5 hours ago:
Wtf is that website? Why there are no ads at all, the article is well written without evident use of a LLM and it’s extremely thorough in writing? Without even a pause “article continues in the next ad-ridden page”. I didn’t know that it was technically possible to make websites like that
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 1 day ago:
It’s not just tpm 2.0 support, but simply Intel 8th gen or higher or Ryzen
Intel 6th gen CPUs could totally support tpm 2.0 but they decided to cut them off because $$$
There is no real technical reason, management wanted the line to go up so they had meetings and meetings with the engineering teams in order to find a somewhat reasonable excuse to send to the landfill millions and millions of perfectly usable computers
- Comment on I can't believe it let me do that 3 days ago:
That Gemini chat in messages is also completely useless, as they didn’t implement a memory so the bot will lose context and give irrelevant responses immediately at the first reply.

I am so sick of that meta ai button that can’t be disabled in WhatsApp that I constantly paste the bee movie script just to let them pay hundreds of thousands of useless tokens. Hopefully one day they will block me or let me block that shit
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 3 days ago:
As an European i don’t understand at all those open trucks. The back side is completely wasted space, is unusable, stuff will get stolen when you park (or even at the traffic light), or will get soaked in rain. It also lowers aerodynamic efficiency. That one time in my life when i would need to move a fridge or a mattress i could just rent it for 3 hours

A service that proxies and cleans xitters content so musk doesn’t get the money from the few advertisers left in that cesspool
- Comment on The good old days 2 weeks ago:
According to Gemini, this photo is 100% real because “The image caption states it’s from 1948. AI image generation technology as we know it today did not exist at that time.”
Because we all know that’s completely impossible to write a fake caption over an image

less irritating
Have you ever saw an ad like “our restaurant just gives you a mild food intoxication” 😂
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 2 weeks ago:
To add more to ridiculous is that the diy edition originally came from factory with the RAM installed (for testing and certification) but then they pay someone to remove it
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 2 weeks ago:
I like the concept, but I hate that the four USB modules aren’t included in price. It’s ridiculous to be almost forced to pay €40 for having 2x glorified 3 cm cord extensions on each side
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 2 weeks ago:
unless you stumble on a brick, fall down and accidentally install a rp2040 on the switch, then accidentally flash picofly when trying to understand what’s going on

How I can’t play N64 games without a subscription? 🏴☠️
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 weeks ago:
I’m 100% sure that the next
FifaEA FC will cost €80 AND will have micro transactions AND people will buy it in millions of copies anyway - Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 2 weeks ago:
In Europe it’s €385+taxes (all advertised prices must include tax) which is $425+tax, with two (mandatory) years of warranty included in price
- Comment on Trump plans to announce a company called TikTok America, with a 50% stake for US investors and 19.9% for ByteDance, which would license the algorithm. 2 weeks ago:
You could argue if xai paid xitter 45 billion in their latest
money laundering operationacquisition, then TikTok is worth at least ten xitters - Comment on GameCube Coming To Nintendo Switch Online With 3 Games At Launch 3 weeks ago:
Yes they artificially increased sales by FOMO by announcing a delisting date like 6 months after launch
In this way people thought “OMG better paying NOW $60 for this collection of decades old games or I’ll lose the chance in the future”
- Comment on GameCube Coming To Nintendo Switch Online With 3 Games At Launch 3 weeks ago:
I was emulating the GameCube on a athlon64 15 years ago; the switch is underpowered but not that underpowered
- Comment on GameCube Coming To Nintendo Switch Online With 3 Games At Launch 3 weeks ago:
No, it has been delisted from the shop, otherwise why people would pay a subscription for playing that
- Comment on Encrypting data on local servers? 3 weeks ago:
I wanted to encrypt against physical theft but then I realized that the server weighs 20kg and there’s more valuable and lighter stuff to steal. And a thief would never be able to mount the zfs array, they’ll just fence my $2000 server for $50 and someone else will sell it piece by piece on ebay. And between people who buys used drives online on ebay almost nobody is going to do a full surface scan of a 12tb drive in the hopes of finding valuable data.

The non-brut (I don’t know the English term) is alcoholic soda, that’s less enjoyable

Switchbot is making that
- Comment on In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. 3 weeks ago:
This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity
And what if someone doesn’t have internet connectivity?
- Comment on GM blocks dealership from installing Apple CarPlay retrofit kits in EVs 4 weeks ago:
In their case they’re using a variant of Google for automotive, so enabling apple carplay and android auto is literally a checkbox on GM side
They’re doing extra work to disable it because they want to render the car worthless when after a few years when the os is outdated and the user doesn’t pay a subscription for maps
- Comment on Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 4 weeks ago:
It’s the usual rename and replace that Microsoft love to do.
“OneNote for Windows 10” is going to be replaced by “OneNote for Windows”
Why they always do the kill, rename and replace instead of just replace with an update? Each kill&replace operation leads to lost users…
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 4 weeks ago:
MacOS has an expiration date that in average is 5-6 years since that particular model was put on sale. You can continue using MacOS without updates, but apps will start to complain when you’re 2 versions behind and it will be almost unusable when you’re 4 versions behind. Doesn’t reach ten years.
Microsoft noticed this and saw that people still continued to give money to Apple so they introduced an artificial limitation on Windows 11, forcing everyone with a computer with a processor made before 2018 to buy a new one or switch to Linux
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 4 weeks ago:
A MacBook is on the upgrade treadmill even faster than windows lol
- Comment on SHUT UP ABOUT NICOLE 5 weeks ago:
I wonder how they bother to change the photo with a very similar but almost identical one but always copy-paste the same text, isn’t the opposite way easier?
- Comment on Eutelsat almost triples its value on prospect of Ukraine replacing Starlink with OneWeb 1 month ago:
or that you won’t get baited&switched with the “we will give thousands of completely free* terminals”
*=each “free” terminal is subject to a $500/month usage fee
