• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mother of Texas teen murdered by migrants joins Trump in Austin to blast Harris’ policies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry for her loss, but supporting an old, decrepit, mentally challenged Hitler is not a very good way to deal with sorrow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Job Is to Train Tesla's Cars to Drive Themselves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m Norway, and yeah, I’m sure there are places that don’t abide by the law. But, I’m quite certain the kind of monitoring Tesla appears to be doing would be national news in a hurry, and something that would be cracked down on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Job Is to Train Tesla's Cars to Drive Themselves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit. I sometimes forget just how grateful I am to not live where it’s possible/legal to treat people like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E Ink faces growing competition in the "paper-like" display space - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would that be because of creasing issues, or are there other practical differences?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And an ounce is nowhere close to a decimeter!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Big Tech is swallowing the AI industry⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s hope they choke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft employee accidentally publishes PlayReady code⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess he was ready to play.

  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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dun dun dundun⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For my pain?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨turtles⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mhm, skilpadde.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whistleblower urges Boeing to ground all 787 Dreamliners after safety warning⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s Boeing I’m not going.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best printer 2024: a humorous critique of the Google search engine and printer enshittification⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨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 ⁨Moderna’s mRNA cancer vaccine works even better than thought⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A country, looking after its people?! Get that communism outta here!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phones should have FM radio again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  FM was switched off in 2017 (Norway), but a DAB chip would’ve been nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The EU says X is the worst platform for disinformation | Just as it removes a way to report election misinformation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  English professor: It’s impossible for a double positive to be negative.

  Random student: Yeeeah, riiight…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber: EU rules will see us pull out of “hundreds” of European cities — Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  UK harvesting the benefits of Brexit.

  Perhaps the perfect opportunity to stop buying Apple products?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linear TV Falls Below 50% of Viewing for First Time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.
