  Maybe if we quit blowing them up every chance we get they wouldn’t hate us as much. Think how much aid we could provide for the same amount of money we’re spending to bomb them.

  Isn’t this just trading one cartel for another? The difference being that doctors and lawyers can be held accountable for their errors while a LLM can’t because no one actually stands behind them.

  I know, right! How can they expect to die from incurable cancer when we’ve got all the world’s compute devoted to curing it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dark patterns killed my wife’s Windows 11 installation – OSnews⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The only course of action most Windows users would take at this point is a full reinstallation.

  I think most users would either hire someone to reinstall Windows for them or would decide to buy a new laptop. The fun part is that as soon as they log into their MS account after a reload/purchase the sync would happen again and they would be right back where they started.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dark patterns killed my wife’s Windows 11 installation – OSnews⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, all of that happened but it happened because Samsung uploaded the photos without clear authorization and Microsoft downloaded all of the files without authorization after One Drive was automatically reinstalled after the user deliberately removed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that the water is sterile but it’s clean enough. Water in pipes stays clean as long as it doesn’t sit stagnant for to long. I think this happens most often when there’s a pipe that doesn’t go anywhere that allows water to just sit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have data that I actually care about in RAIDZ1 array with a hot standby and it is syched to the cloud. The rest (the vast majority) is in a RAIDZ5. If I lose it, I “lose” it. Its recoverable if I decide I want it again.

  Hold up. I’m not sure if we want to crash the filament market.

  That wasn’t the Too Many Cooks I was aware of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What YouTube downloader are the kids using these days?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I use a well, Specifically jdownloader2. I have run into a few YouTube videos it can’t get. Typically they are music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really with an SSD this makes extra sense. Not only would over writing the data immediately take some time but would also use up the limited write cycles faster.

  I see she when with a more modest one this time. The last one was kinda big

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is history about to repeat itself?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Late last week I advised my younger coworkers that if we got freezing rain as predicted they needed to just stay home and that they would likely be stuck there for a couple of days. No one here knows how to drive on ice but think their lifted 4x4 truck with bald all weather tires will give them the edge they need. The cities, parishes, and state don’t have the resources to deal with it either.

  One of them (from Alaska) decided to take a 2.5 hour trip to buy a jetski after work on Friday. They’re almost home after leaving Saturday morning to get home.

  I feel like that’s effectively the same thing.

  The quotes used in the article sound like something Groundkeeper Willie would say. Im not sure why anyone would take them seriously.

  I don’t really know what an ‘ai browser’ is and at this point I feel like i really need to ask. What makes a browser “AI”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My bet is microtransactions and a lot of them not being great lol games. You don’t need a 5090 to play a AAA game unless you’re maxing out the visuals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Attitudes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in my mid-forties and most of my co-workers are in their early 20s. It can be weird but I don’t dislike it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not trying to defend Tesla on this because fuck Musk and everything he touches but are there stats on how, when, and why the human took over? Did they just not take over? Did they take over to late? Did they take over and make the situation worse?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ad block block⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And you know I’m not going to use headphones. If I get to listen to it, everyone else has to listen to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How does playing videos faster than x1 affect creators i actually want to watch? The Spiffing Brit did a thing a while ago about doubling their view time (and thus engagement) by having people watch the videos at 1/2 speed. If that was true it makes sense that watching it at 2x would only count as a half watch even if you watched all of it.

  Where is it written that we can only have one floating plastic island?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about baseball? The pitcher and catcher’s goal is throw the ball back and forth 18 times. Everyone else is just there incase they can’t manage that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Handeggballl.

  You have to add “ball” so that we know it is a game played with a ball.

  Same here. There is a learning curve because, while it does all the same things, sometimes it happens in a slightly different way and the UX is different.
