That reminds me of the first VCR my family owned. Wired remotes anyone?

- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 2 weeks ago:
Back in the day my friend couldn’t get through the MOH level with snow. It would just freeze and crash. So I showed him how to cheat and bypass the level.
If it’s single player then do whatever you want. It only affects you.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 2 weeks ago:
Nope. Either they can’t view(encrypted )it or they don’t care. The isps that actually do something, will send you multiple warnings, like 7 plus.
Then you just get a VPN and carry on as usual. In 25 years or so I have gotten 2 warnings.

Hell BitTorrent is outdated, these days you just watch the movie through an online streaming site. It requires zero technical knowledge
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 3 weeks ago:
My 78 year old mother bought a new laptop, windows 11.
Immediately I had to remote in because of some S mode BS which just put you in the MS only application environment.
3 months later and somehow she fubarred her login and can’t use her new laptop. There’s probably an easy fix, but since she hates windows 11 and wants to go back to 10, I suggested Linux.
So it will be a Merry Christmas for my mom when I visit and install IDK? Some version that’s super simple. Anything is better than what she currently has

- Comment on ChatGPT offered bomb recipes and hacking tips during safety tests 3 months ago:
When I was growing up, you had to go to the mall, and purchase the anarchist cook book if you wanted bomb recipes. Or go to the library. You kids got it easy today…
- Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house? 3 months ago:
An exterminator probably, but you can thin the herd by sitting up a trap.
A large preferably glass or metal bowl, and a small ramp up to said bowl. Put some sugar in the bowl and the next day there’ll be some roaches trapped in the bowl. Empty and repeat…
- Comment on Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones 3 months ago:
I’m pretty sure that writing something down has been proven to be helpful for retaining the information.
But that study is probably 50 years old, and people learn and retain information differently.
So I wouldn’t be surprised if using a computer to take notes is just as effective as writing it, especially for younger generations.

- Comment on 90% of Games Developers Already Using AI in Workflows, According to New Google Cloud Research 3 months ago:
As a full stack web dev I’ve been using AI off and on and while it seems really good at basic markup language, it almost never gets PHP or JS right.
It suggests weird ways of doing things that either don’t work, are completely asinine, use some random unknown libraries, or is just outdated.

- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 4 months ago:
I came home pre early access and saw that I could play if I just watched some stream on twitch for 30 minutes. So I did. Got the code and it did not work. Started up the game and it was locked until early access/ next day.
Went to bed and tried again on early access. Now the game won’t even start, claiming it needs secure boot to be on. I have secure boot on. - Comment on Shit's getting real 4 months ago:
I have a job at a large corporate retail store and we recently raised a lot of prices, mostly for things that haven’t been hit by tariffs yet. The owner is using the tariffs as an excuse to jack up prices for no reason. Even if all the tariffs were done away with tomorrow, corporate America is still going to jack up the prices.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 4 months ago:
I don’t understand why she was arrested, her “threat” was obviously a joke. I guess jokes are illegal now
