It’s like the original blueprints were a word document and the architect tried to paste in an image.
- Comment on what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine? 4 days ago:
I bought a mesh sneaker bag from Amazon that is designed to keep them safe in the wash and it seems to do the trick each time. Just be sure to take out in the insole before washing.

Steamer game, represent.
- Comment on Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges 1 week ago:
I’m surprised more brands aren’t simply defaulting to Threads. You still see links to their Xitter profile instead of Threads.
I prefer Mastodon, myself, but I get why major brands would prefer a centralized network.
- Comment on "I lost trust": Why the OpenAI team in charge of safeguarding humanity imploded 1 month ago:
I mean is this stuff even really AI? It has no awareness of what it’s saying. It’s simply calculating the most probable next work in a typical sentence and spewing it out. I’m not sure this is the tech that will decide humanity is unnecessary
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
I’m assuming it’s with regards to the Play Test which is in very early stages and shouldn’t be judged as completed. Seems fair enough if it’s nowhere near complete
- Comment on Too soon? 1 month ago:
That one got me as soon as I zoomed in. It’s perfect. No notes needed.
- Comment on The Man Who Destroyed Google Search 1 month ago:
That’s odd. Were you using Pro? I find pro to be less reliable, oddly enough. I always check the citations which is why I like their approach.
- Comment on The Man Who Destroyed Google Search 1 month ago:
Read this a week or so ago and it’s a fantastic summarization of the core problem. I almost never use Google search anymore. I go between DuckDuckGo and Perplexity.
- Comment on Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO 2 months ago:
I have experience on the reseller side of the electronics business. I will tell you that most big resellers (Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc) will do more in situations like this than the actual companies themselves. I’ve seen it a lot. Sure, it’s anecdotal evidence, but I’ve also read a ton of complaints over the years on Reddit of similar situations.
These first party manufacturers are manufacturers first and retail shops second (or third) so they put less effort on that side.
- Comment on Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO 2 months ago:
Never, and I repeat NEVER, buy directly from most manufacturers. For whatever reason, their customer service on the consumer purchase side always seems to suck. Buy from authorized resellers who care more about the relationship with their customers.
- Comment on Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve? 2 months ago:
That doesn’t sound like good solution if I ever need to remove the door.
- Comment on Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve? 2 months ago:
A screw in hinge pin might do the trick. I have to look into that.

- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 2 months ago:
Everyone’s experience and usage is different, but I have a base M2 MacBook Air with 8gb of RAM and besides web browsing, streaming/air playing some videos, and typing some documents, I don’t do much else. I never feel the need for more RAM.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 2 months ago:
You can also use it to start a load while you’re at work when you didn’t want your clothes sitting after washing all day. True, there’s old school delay functions but this gives a little more control.
Not saying it’s worth it, but a feature I haven’t seen anyone else mention.

You’ll appreciate me when this is the one that kills the meme.
I’m the hero you need even if I’m not the one you want.

- Comment on Desperate TikTok lobbying effort backfires on Capitol Hill 3 months ago:
The irony of their efforts is that it only proved to show that they could easily begin influencing users which is the key argument being used against them.
I’m still not sure what my feelings on the subject are. I don’t use the app myself, but besides its connection to a company in China and, therefore, the Chinese government, it seems to do the same exact tracking and algorithm manipulating that every other social network does.
- Comment on Microsoft advertising Copilot on lock screens 3 months ago:
That is an absurdly large QR code. I recently switched to MacOS (I know Linux exists and it’s not for me) so I’m glad I’m away from this kind of nonsense.

That is….wild

This has to be turned into an app for Vision Pro and Meta Quest.
- Comment on AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants 4 months ago:
They exist in some form or another. None of them free.
- Comment on AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants 4 months ago:
I’m unfortunately in this world. Every application involves me scanning the job description and then trying to take key words and change up my skills section to try to match enough to catch the eye of an algorithm.
- Comment on Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI: Read the memo | TechCrunch 4 months ago:
You know, I’m surprised they haven’t launched a paid for, privacy centric email service like Proton or FastMail. They can give basic service for free and then charge a nominal fee for more storage like the others do. It seems like a simple way to drum up some revenue and rely a little less on the payment from Google.

I have no idea who the guy pontificating after the main video is, but the dude is annoying as hell.
