- Comment on Preview: The Cerritos Crew Starts A New Comic Book Adventure In First Issue Of ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ 4 days ago:
Didn’t know there was to be a comic series. This is exciting.
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 2 weeks ago:
Look…it’s a shit mouse, but all you had to do is press on the right-front corner for right click after you configured it to do so.
I hated the thing and would never get one again, but if you’re going to criticize it, at least point out things that are actually a problem.
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 2 weeks ago:
I had a first gen Magic Mouse and you could definitely add right click to it.
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 2 weeks ago:
And they still put the port on the bottom where you can’t charge and use it at the same time. Garbage.
- Comment on Excel enters its 40th year 3 weeks ago:
Don’t forget accounting software.
- Comment on Altech’s sodium chloride solid state battery exceeds expectations 1 month ago:
I’m all for Sodium batts in cars, but my understanding is this battery tech is a different chemical composition than other Sodium Ion batteries.
- Comment on Altech’s sodium chloride solid state battery exceeds expectations 1 month ago:
Actually exciting battery tech that isn’t just fluff. They actually built the thing and tested it, rather than it being a theoretical, not-easily-produced thing and it worked.
As others have said, this is for grid-scale and not EVs, but still exceptional progress and very important for energy storage.
- Comment on Tesla Finally Enables FSD Ten Months After The Cybertruck's Debut, But There's A Catch 1 month ago:
That article screams “written by an AI”. It repeats itself so much, it’s like a kid trying to hit the 1k word requirement for an essay in high school English.
- Comment on I just finish to see all TNG movies. 2 months ago:
I honestly think Generations gets hated on more than it should because the Enterprise D is destroyed. People love that ship.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 2 months ago:
There are plenty of “kids” movies and TV that are excellent for adults, too.
Listing a few:
- Bluey
- Most of Pixar
- Adventure Time (after Season 1)
- Star Wars Rebels/Clone Wars (again, after Season 1)
- Shrek
- Star Trek: Prodigy
This is not an exhaustive list, but you get the point.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 2 months ago:
Yes they do.
- Comment on Who had it worse: Enterprise-D or Voyager? 2 months ago:
Voyager. Hands down.

When even the captain acknowledges it, it’s bad. At least Picard had Starfleet support at his back.
- Comment on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced' 2 months ago:
To be fair, Rocket League runs fine in Proton.
Also, to be fair…agreed. Fuck Epic.
- Comment on Can you trust Valve? Honest criticism of Steam. 2 months ago:
I don’t trust any corporation. However, Valve has treated customers with respect and doesn’t try to bend us over. For that, I’ll keep buying from them.
However, I fear for the day Gabe Newell is no longer running the show.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 2 months ago:
If you want “Apple-like” look and feel, KDE Neon, Ubuntu, or Pop_OS! are good first Linux distros to start with.
- Comment on Meshtastic DIY - How To Build Your Own Meshtastic Node ESP32 & Lora Radio 3 months ago:
Meshtastic is neat and I always contemplate building a node for fun. However, I’ve yet to see many practical uses for it beyond maybe texting while hiking.
- Comment on Pfsense, Opensense and OpenWRT - what's the deal? 3 months ago:
pfSense = Firewall and router system based on FreeBSD. Has both open source and commercial versions. Built for SMB to Enterprise uses. Extremely powerful with all of the bells and whistles you’d expect from a professional firewall product.
OPNSense = Basically pfSense with a different UI. It’s a fork of pfSense. Much of the same capability, but is built by a smaller company.
OpenWRT = Replacement firmware for embedded devices (as well as x86). It’s open source WiFi router firmware that runs on tens of thousands of devices. Many vendors will even base their custom firmware on OpenWRT and put a different skin on it (GL.iNet, for example).
- Comment on NewPipe outage over: version 0.27.1 restores YouTube playback 4 months ago:
It’s from Google intentionally breaking things
- Comment on AMD's FSR 3.1 upscaling tested: improved over FSR 2 but DLSS and XeSS are still ahead 4 months ago:
It’s DLSS an open standard like FSR? No? Ok then it doesn’t matter if DLSS is marginally better.
- Comment on It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose 4 months ago:
I find the lack of Elim Garak disturbing.
- Comment on NewPipe outage over: version 0.27.1 restores YouTube playback 4 months ago:
Bear in mind that in-video ads that Google is experimenting with will still cause 403 errors. There is another bug report for that. However, this fixes most playback issues.
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 4 months ago:
Not saying they are. Just the ones that are the biggest and make the most money
- Comment on Valve rumored to be working on Android emulator for Steam 4 months ago:
I mean you could say the Steam Deck is “Just running KDE on Arch”.
The difference is how they implement it and what it’s used for. This could be huge for “apps” on the Steam Deck, for example. Or it could be a quirky experiment or feature nobody uses. Time will tell.
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 4 months ago:
Most of the time it ends up shovelware, though.
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 4 months ago:
I was speaking of the gaming industry as a whole. I know very little about this developer. Perhaps they’re one of the good ones swept up in unfortunate-ness.
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 4 months ago:
Game Publishers: complains about how users expect endless content
Also Game Publishers: Mostly pushes for live service games and Free-to-Play

- Comment on New apartment Internet has no port forwarding, admin login 4 months ago:
If there providing IPv6 to you, port forwarding shouldn’t be necessary most of the time for online gaming.
Are they allowing UPnP upstream?
- Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 5 months ago:
It’s one of the only non-Android TV, Apple TV, or Roku ways of streaming Netflix with a remote via HTPC. There are EXTREMELY niche uses for it.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 5 months ago:
If purchasing isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t stealing.
- Comment on Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them 5 months ago:
They’re in the UK. They don’t have our stupid healthcare system.
