It’s like the elite learnt nothing from the effects of incest breeding…

I wonder if the personality is influenced by the language (e.g. being more apologetic in japanese)
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 10 hours ago:
Fairphone is meh.
Neat idea but lackluster execution.Is there any phone besides the Pixel or iPhone (I will never buy Samsung), that has a comparable camera performance?
- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 10 hours ago:
I don’t need two data siphons on my phone draining battery /j :p

There is a difference betwen the version for corporate (MS365 Business) and the consumer version.
Yes, they have the same name.
Yes, it’s confusing. - Comment on How "heavy" is self-hosting matrix really? 14 hours ago:

Why does this feel like a fundamental problem to me?

Didnt know a company that relies on the internet can just move on lmao.
That could some cost their job. But hey, just move on (งツ)ว - Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS 2 days ago:
What happens if the local ISP/electrical/whatever decides there need for maintenance?
Not every company can afford redundant high speed internet. - Comment on MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis 3 days ago:
“Rescue”
Lol. What is the rescue if even DDR4 explodes? What does this help? - Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs 3 days ago:
Agreed.
It actually did help me find an older movie based on the following aspects:
- late 2000s/early 2010s
- nature catastrophe
- scene at the beach of people freezing instantly
After ruling out "Day after tomorrow"and “Geostorm” that left me with “Arctic Blast” which it actually was (beware, it’s not great!)
The way people blindly trust it’s output without any actual search or additional context is the worst way to use it. Might as well ask a magic 8-ball.
Yeah…
But those are the same that clicked on the first search result and believed it as gospel… :/ - Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs 4 days ago:
TWP does it better.
- Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs 4 days ago:
I feel like it’s essentially a superfuled semantic search.
I can put in multiple issues and symptoms and it spits out a websearch that mostly applies to my reported issue. - Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 4 days ago:
Appreciated. Very much appreciated!

At least with warehouse, you are already aware and prepared to receive it :p
- Comment on AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations 5 days ago:
Maybe it is the only real solution.
Full nuclear war and end all life on Earth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - Comment on LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back! 5 days ago:
For a second I read OpenOffice instead of OnlyOffice and was perplexed how one would call that modern lmao
- Comment on LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back! 5 days ago:
(IMO) even better.
Give me the package to self-host it. - Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 5 days ago:
If the data is available for mass production, you just need to copy paste the factory and establish the trading partners for supply chains.
Not the same issue as, for example, ASML and China. - Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 5 days ago:
No thermal runaway if I remember correct as those are not prone to exploding (unlike li-ion)
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 5 days ago:
Ever wondered what the salt does after melting?
Same issue. - Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 5 days ago:
I mean the first diagram is effectively useless without knowledge of battery density. They as well could compare the 2010 compacts with 2025s SUVs which have probably 2x the amount of total capacity.
For the other charts: Agreed. - Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 5 days ago:
Low capacity is my guess.
Dunno if the article is the same I have read a few days ago but the, mentioned “everything” except the comparable capacity to sodium or lithium batteries.
And I can’t imagine that the capacity for salty water with tofu remnants is much higher than a sodium battery which is atm serialized for mass production runs (isnt it even available in some capacity as a commercial product?) - Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 5 days ago:
Doesnt matter if the capacity is even less than sodium batteries.
We’ll see.
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 5 days ago:
One time I shopped for an ESP32 with an USB-C slim cable (3m) and a weather safe enclosure.
Amazon: >40€
AliExpress: <30€ (incl. shipping but waiting thrice as long).Oh well, didnt need it fast anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 5 days ago:
Amazon sure did refund it.
And then proceeded to charge the seller the amount + handling fees.Anyway: As I said, AE customer handling is…difficult.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 5 days ago:
Any source for that info? Seems important to know and assert the quality, no?
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 5 days ago:
I mean…Sold amd shipped by Amazon is still a thing.
But even they sell counterfeited items.So the only way to get a 100% genuine item is through the manufacturer (e.g. Samsung and storage media) or hope and pray you don’t get a scam product/test it after receiving.
Honestly: Aliexpress at times feels more genuine than Amazon. If it wasnt for the 20 stores by the same authenticated seller (the seller page is more obscured than on Amazon)
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 5 days ago:
Time to replace Amazon dropshipping with AliExpress.
Probably same vendor at the end.
The only iasue I see is local customer service and return of an order.
That is way easier with Amazon (at the cost of the seller).
