- Comment on Amazon will remove the option to download/transfer Kindle e-books via USB by February 2025 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s been hit and miss with downloading from the Kindle. I mostly get books from the library and strip the DRM from there. I figure it’s a win-win, because the library gets a record of the checkout, but then I get to read it at my leisure while the next person gets to read it.

This currently works, but I don’t know if it will continue working forever - probably not too much longer after this announcement.
The “old Kindle PC app” might keep working in the future, but my guess is that it’s going to be done soon as well.
- Comment on 3D Printed Steam Deck Accessories You Might Like 1 week ago:
I’ve tried a bunch of times, but haven’t really found anything that’s been particularly useful as a steamdeck 3d printed accessory. Probably the closest I’ve come is a steamdeck gridfinity storage solution for my desk, and a stand to play if I felt like using an xbox controller instead of holding the deck.
Here’s the ones linked from the video, nothing in there was super interesting. Best one of the bunch was the charger insert, but I’ve found it to be annoying to use. I just go back to a small bag to stuff the charger into.

Reagan was a bit jump in shit, but before that Nixon did a ton of damage, and before that Reconstruction didn’t hold the traitors accountable for their treason, and before that the Founding Fathers wrote a document that assumed everyone was going to play fair, and before that…

Get an electric leaf blower for whatever brand of cordless tools you have and blow off all the dust before coming inside.

Yes, the tidal effect of the sun would disappear, and that would probably make the oceans all fucky suddenly (after an 8 minutes lag).

Seems like a cool project, but he’s right, there’s not enough tech that supports this form factor.
Maybe I’ll integrate some rack space into my next remodel project.

You misread, I specifically said that Earth doesn’t have enough mass for that.
- Comment on Set comfort level to maximum with the Mechanism Gaming Pillow for handhelds 3 months ago:
Ok, that’s hilarious and very unique, but it’s definitely solving a problem that I personally don’t have.
If I’m going to be doing longer gaming sessions, I’ll hook it up to my TV and use an xbox controller.
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 3 months ago:
First - The major problem with trash isn’t the getting rid of it part, it’s the gathering it up part. If we could do that, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Second - Launching things on a rocket is kinda dangerous still, there’s a risk the rocket will blow up on launch, scattering the material across a large area. This is a big reason why things like nuclear waste is a problem to transport in general, much less flying it somewhere.
Third - Launching something into the SUN is really hard, it would be easier to send something out of the solar system than back into the sun.
van.physics.illinois.edu/ask/listing/43694Fourth - Someday we’ll figure out a use for everything, wall-e style. If we dump everything into a centralized landfill, we’ll eventually be able to collect/sort/recycle it into something useful. Throwing it into the sun (or off-planet) would make that stuff unavailable forever.
Finally - Throwing stuff into the sun would actually get rid of it forever, yes. It would be completely decomposed into the atoms it was made from. If we threw ENOUGH heavy metals into the sun, we could actually poison the sun making it not able to fuse hydrogen anymore, but even if we threw the entire earth into the sun, it wouldn’t be enough.
- Comment on Concerns about medical note-taking tool raised after researcher discovers it invents things no one said — Nabla is powered by OpenAI's Whisper 3 months ago:
This shows that AI isn’t an infallible machine that gets everything right — instead, we can think of it as a person who can think quickly, but its output needs to be double-checked every time. AI is certainly a useful tool in many situations, but we can’t let it do the thinking for us, at least for now.
No, it’s not “like a person who can think.” Unless you mean it’s like an ADHD person who got distracted halfway through the transcript and started working on a different project in the same file.

- Comment on Half as Hot 4 months ago:
That’s one of the ways proposed for terraforming Venus. Put in a sun shield to freeze the planet, let the CO2 snow down, then process the CO2 into something that can sequester it away so it doesn’t just go back into the atmosphere after removing the sun shield.
Of course none of that is technically possible right now, but it’s a lot easier on a planet that has no (known) life to destroy while working through the process.
