  if I pirate a movie and then only I watch it, I don’t think anyone would really think I should be arrested for that

  There are definitely people out there that think you should be arrested for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle”⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Neither of my last two phones came with a USB-A cable, nor did my wireless mouse or keyboard. The flush Qi 1 charger doesn’t even work because my camera bump is too big. Also, from what I’ve heard Qi 2 should produce far less heat while charging, which makes Qi 1 worse for battery life.

  Sure, I could “make it work”, but I’d be happier with two electrical outlets or even nothing than the basically useless wireless charger and ports I have now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle”⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. My work desk is barely four years old, and already its integrated USB-A ports and Qi 1 charger are outdated and basically useless to me. I’d prefer not having them. The power outlet is still fine though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Compared to Sim City 3000 and Sim City 4, Cities Skylines’ UI feels really convoluted to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Played and beat A Libk to the Past for the first time!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My entire life I’ve been avoiding Zelda games thinking they just weren’t for me. But when Nintendo added Link’s Awakening DX to Nintendo Online I decided to give it a try.

  It’s just a lovely game. I love the graphics, the way it holds your hand a little more than earlier games, everything about it. It has turned me around on Zelda games and I intend to play the Oracle games when I get a chance.

  Pretty cool of his admiral dad to go along with the name change.

  More often than a Starfleet captain giving an impassioned speech about doing the right thing.

  At least twice for every Data head tilt.

  I’ve heard that every time this is reposted Worf gets thrown across a room and Voyager gets a bonus torpedo.

  Here is a whole website dedicated to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Millennials: It's ok to mourn the death of social media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Avelon shows both as strikethrough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Using AdGuard and Vinegar to use YouTube in Safari, I can’t remember when I last saw an ad. It’s not ideal, but it works well enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X will charge users ‘a small monthly payment’ to use its service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all. That’s the joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The loss of dark skies is so painful, astronomers coined a new term for it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This. I’m visually impaired and actually need a lot of light to operate normally.

  At one point in my life I lived in a large building where all the hallways were operated by infrared sensors. It was honestly pretty cool to just walk around and get the light I needed without pressing any buttons.

  I’ve often thought about how neat it would be if we could do same for outdoor spaces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My uneducated guess is this: the iPhone 15 uses the same A16 chip as the 14 Pro did, to more easily produce it at scale and cost effectively. The 14 Pro had Lightning and therefore 2.0 speeds. The 15 kept the 2.0 speed because the A16 couldn’t (readily?) be reengineered to support a 3.0 connector.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it should have had USB 3, but iPhone 15 isn’t Apple’s flagship device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Verizon Fails Again, Shutters Attempted Zoom Alternative BlueJeans After Paying $400 Million For It⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No, their point is valid. You just did a bunch of mathematics while completely ignoring the issue of corporations and rich executives wasting money on frivolous endeavors.

  Not only that, you literally suggested that dividing the BlueJeans money among the poor of the world would do them little benefit, as is Verizon is the only company perpetrating corporate greed.

  Would you then class the pages upon pages of generated, useless content I get for most Google searches nowadays as “black hat” SEO?
