- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 3 days ago:
they’re a shitty corporation just like Nvidia
Neither of them are anyone’s friend, but claiming they’re the same level of nasty is a bit of a stretch.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
It’s really annoying when it’s pushed in our face everywhere. For getting a quick image of something you specify, or help with some boilerplate text it can be pretty neat.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
But apparently, using the tools already available to you is not a common skill these days :(
So, are you not understanding that other people work differently, or are you just not using that skill?
Besides offering different approaches for different preferences, there are clear benefits to the extra level of organization. As an additional exercise, try to picture someone using multiple windows and tab groups.
Not everyone operates on the basic level. Hell, why even have tabs? The OS can manage multiple windows, and you can use multiple desktops to achieve the same result without that bloat.

Still, if it’s small enough to transmit via any wireless connection, it’s small enough to keep the local copy.
- Comment on How to disable Microsoft Recall & stop the AI from taking screenshots of your desktop. 4 weeks ago:
Why not both? As Linux achieves more and more momentum, you are bound to see real change in how Microsoft treats its users.
- Comment on How to disable Microsoft Recall & stop the AI from taking screenshots of your desktop. 4 weeks ago:
Of course, the idea is that there’s less risk of that the more people switch.

Microsoft’s idea of consent:
Do you want to turn on Recall?
- Yes
- Maybe Later
- Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change 4 weeks ago:
Americans voted for this. You can argue about the minutiae and the process, but that’s the gist of it.

uBlock Origin Lite seems to work fine for me.

Same, once they have been cold their protective coating can suffer, so keep that in mind and keep it don’t leave them out at a later time.
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 1 month ago:
around 38C
I was shocked when my new realme, which uses the same tech, didn’t even break 30°C while charging at 8+ Amps (should be around 80W). This was in a relatively warm room (25°C) and using the case that came with it, which surely doesn’t improve thermals. It gets warmer when charging from other sources with only 2-3A, like USB-PD or QuickCharge.
Coupled with the fact that it’s only accurate if you are constantly charging from below 15% to 100%, these are ranges that I rarely get my phone into.
AccuBattery needs a session to have 60% charged, so <20% to 80% works. Doesn’t need to be every single one. I actually asked support about it and they said this was the lowest percentage they were comfortable with. I was requesting to make it adjustable.
Accuracy of the measurement isn’t the entire point. I see the same issue, but since it helps track relative degradation over time it can still add value by giving more information when you suspect the capacity is getting worse.

You mean it wasn’t able to be saturated?
As slow as 2MBit/s is, relatively speaking, it’s still magnitudes better than dial-up.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 2 months ago:
It doesn’t relay all traffic, that’s a fallback if a connection can’t be established.

External drives that I keep in my office at work. Also cloud storage.
- Comment on 20th-Anniversary iPhone Will Reportedly Feature an All-Screen Design 3 months ago:
Internally, their engineers need to know what they will be doing the next year or so. I’m not assuming any credibility for the leaks, just pointing out that it takes time until these things get on the shelves.
- Comment on 20th-Anniversary iPhone Will Reportedly Feature an All-Screen Design 3 months ago:
I disagree that they don’t know. This is the time to finalize what they want their 2027 iPhone to look like, especially if they’re making bigger changes where development might not be as straightforward as the yearly iteration for most aspects.
- Comment on PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you) 3 months ago:
Your laptop may be 13 years old, but Apple is notorious for their walled garden and surely never officially supported Linux on it, or did they? So it’s probably the worst example.

- Comment on China’s CATL claims to have overtaken BYD on 5-minute EV battery charging time 4 months ago:
Energy density needs to increase for sure, but I see a point where cars charge fast enough that there will be less need to increase it further. I imagine it’ll look a lot like gas stations today, where they stop for a few minutes and leave again.
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 4 months ago:
That’s what I meant. Compared to the power the GPU is actually using, transmission losses for a pass-through should be negligible. If you have a good way to get it to the card in the first place.
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 4 months ago:
USB standard is up to what, 40Gbps and 240W? That’s pushing the envelope already. We’ll see if this new standard can prove itself, anyways.
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 4 months ago:
It would just put extra thermal load on the GPU.
Passing power through doesn’t have to put noticeable load on the GPU. The main problem I see there is getting even more power to the GPU - Nvidia’s top cards are already at the melting point for their power connector.

I tried that with a friend once and we were confused about the purpose. Now it makes sense!

The key is to change the layout, then the only problem is really replacing a mouse with the joystick.
