- Comment on Microsoft and OpenAI ‘bromance’ begins to fray 4 weeks ago:
Blame Altman on that one, from the article:
Altman once called OpenAI’s partnership with Microsoft “the best bromance in tech,”
- Comment on X to close operations in Brazil 'effective immediately' 2 months ago:
Made me think this was the good news community.
- Comment on What is TrueNAS writing all the time to disk? 6 months ago:
Every 4-5 seconds? Yeah, logging.
You can either move the system dataset to your boot drive/pool or syslog to /var/log:

I’ve seem many users recommend a reboot after changing those settings.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi storybook uses AI to create stories with pictures on its eInk display 6 months ago:
Boy, are the example story and picture bad.

- Comment on Any good RSS Feed service for self-hosting? 10 months ago:
I haven’t used it, but it is on my bookmarks for when Feedly stops working for me: github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS
- Comment on Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later. 11 months ago:
“cheat”, “lie”, “cover up”… Assigning human behavior to Stochastic Parrots again, aren’t we Jimmy?
- Comment on A guide to a longer lasting Smartphone. 11 months ago:
This is the best summary I could come up with:
When your phone becomes unusable and unrepairable, buy a Fairphone.
- Comment on Nvidia Shield is getting Auro 3D audio support, full-screen ads 11 months ago:
Interesting… I have an OG Shield, also in the Netherlands, but have seen no ads (that being said, companies A/B test and do gradual rollout of this kind of BS).
But I also kept my Android Home all in the version without ads by disabling Play Store updates and instead manually going over all apps (except Home!) every month or so (or when I have an issue with any app I use).
I feel confident that I’ll be able to hack my way around this new form of ads.
- Comment on WhatsApp backups on Android will soon count toward your Google Account storage 1 year ago:
For apps that don’t disallow regular backups (like WhatsApp does), Lineage OS and Calyx support Seedvault, which is a 1:1 alternative to Google Drive, except it saves the backup as an encrypted file.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocking crackdown is facing a new challenge: privacy laws | Privacy advocates argue YouTube’s ad blocker restrictions violate the European Union’s online privacy laws. 1 year ago:
sigh
For me, the most important bit was the basis of the claim that YouTube would be breaching privacy, and this is it (completely missing from the “summary”):
“AdBlock detection scripts are spyware — there is no other way to describe them and as such it is not acceptable to deploy them without consent,” Hanff tells The Verge. “I consider any deployment of technology which can be used to spy on my devices is both unethical and illegal in most situations.”
- Comment on Should I putchase a 4-year-old nVidia TV Pro, another technology, or wait for next Gen? 1 year ago:
I have the OG Shield Pro, with an additional remote, the most recebt one.
Besides changing the inner HDD for a SSD, it does all I need.
Sure, it doesn’t support the HDMI 2.1 that my TV does, but I don’t need that for what the Shield does for me (YouTube, Netflix and Plex playback).
- Comment on Any feedback from port knockers ? 1 year ago:
Sounds like security through obscurity to me.
Highly susceptible to replay and man in the middle attacks.
If you’re gonna combine that with another authentication method (and you should), then I see little advantage over just going with the other auth method.
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
… supports DLSS3, a more modern upscaler that is compatible with more recent Nvidia cards.
Gotta love errors in tech articles.
