PSA: I’m probably old enough to be your father, let me have my terrible jokes/puns.
- Comment on Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks 5 days ago:
11.000 people bought one?! I figured just a few museums would’ve picked one, to display in their abstract art sections, or the “even when we knew how not to we still built shit” section.
- Comment on MSI click bios has been downgraded after RMA? 1 week ago:
Like others have mentioned, what you’re looking for is likely hidden behind the “advanced” button. If not ,you should at least find the bios version number, one you can compare to your old one. It might be they shipped it back to you with an earlier version of the bios, so you’ll have to update it. However, I would not expect a huge difference in the feature set between versions.
- Comment on NATO Member Sweden Says Russia Disrupting Its Satellite Networks 1 week ago:
I’m Norwegian and I’ve never really been worried about Russia setting foot over here. Even less so now, after they insisted on showing the world just how incompetent their military is. Lethal and capable of massive destruction, yes, but also disorganized, flailing, incapable of progressing a mile without throwing massive resources at it.
I just don’t see how they would get far anywhere in the Nordics. They might be able to roll across the border into any of the countries, but not with any significant amount of weaponry, and the response from the west would be swift. At least I hope and assume so.
Let’s just make sure Trump isn’t elected and declares his love for dictators, again, yeah?
- Comment on Radio Caroline, Britain's pirate radio station broadcasting from sea, turns 60 years strong 1 month ago:
They’re still on the air?! Wow… I read a lot about it (and Radio City) a couple of decades ago, as I was reading up on the Maunsell Forts. I had no idea they were broadcasting back then, so to learn they’re still on the air now is fun.
- Comment on Hearing is be-leafing: Students invent quieter leaf blower 1 month ago:
They probably weren’t too concerned with the emissions from the leaf blowers themselves, but the dust and whatnot they whip up into the air.

It would be fun if there was a menu setting called “turn shitshow off”.
- Comment on Inside the Underground Site Where ‘Neural Networks’ Churn Out Fake IDs 4 months ago:
Mhm. We need everyone to submit to DNA sampling and iris scans, so our overlords can keep more reliable records of our doings. /s

- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 8 months ago:

- Comment on Linear TV Falls Below 50% of Viewing for First Time 10 months ago:
2010, that was the year I returned my cable decoder to sender. Now I forget linear TV is still a thing, and it must’ve been a decade since I heard anyone utter the words “did you watch X on Y last night”, as well.
- Comment on Cost of a 128KB computer with floppies in 1985 10 months ago:
Two years later you could get an Amiga 500, with 512KB for £499. They were such a deal when they arrived. I bought a 20MB hard drive, an extra 512KB of RAM, a second floppy drive and a monitor. If I recall correctly that set me back around £1400.
- Comment on Tipping 'nudges' are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don't leave a gratuity, you'll hear about it. 10 months ago:
Don’t want to pay your employees a decent wage? No need to worry, that’s for the customers to sort out!
American tipping culture is off the rails, and business owners are rejoicing, I bet.
