- Comment on I think it's extremely invasive that amazon is telling me this 1 week ago:
Jobs a job man, just because it’s a shit company to work for doesn’t mean you should shame them for it. They’re just trying to pay their bills like everyone else
- Comment on I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun 1 week ago:
I’d love to get my hands on even a decent condition 1st gen iPod, but people want insane amounts for them now. Even my 5.5 gen was more than i wanted to pay but nearly mint.
- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 2 weeks ago:
This is exactly what happened with my mom trying to buy a Christmas gift for my nephew. She knew he had an Xbox but had no clue which version it was so she didn’t know which version of a game to get. I told her to just buy an Xbox store gift card and call it a day, much easier than trying to figure out which version of the console he had. Didn’t want her to buy him a disc if he had the Series S.

- Comment on iPod with custom shell, new screen, 512gb SSD, and a 30 day battery 1 month ago:
Nice! I keep meaning to order a clear shell for my 5.5 Gen, but have done a battery and flash swap on it. My 4th Gen and my 2nd Gen mini are also flashed and they’ve been amazing too.

- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 2 months ago:
Damn, I remember watching RvB when it was still just cropped gameplay footage with the reticle visible on the screen. I have the Blu-ray box set of seasons 1-10 and the Chorus Trilogy. After Monty died everything kinda started going downhill. Final nail in the coffin I guess.

- Comment on Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community' 3 months ago:
Listen the game isn’t perfect and did have a rough launch, but they’re actively working on fixing and improving it. I’ve had 8+ hour straight binges of gameplay on it and enjoy it plenty. Is it completely what I hoped for? Not exactly, and the game could use more optimization but I still very much enjoy it, personally. It’s more enjoyable to me so far than the first game, especially with the new tools and features they’ve added.
Toxicity is so dumb with g*mers, just refund and leave an honest review then move on with your lives people, geez.

I still hold a sliver of hope for campaign DLC, but I know it probably won’t happen.

- Comment on 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still 4 months ago:
I recommend running GPU-Z to verify the 2060S is actually a 2060S, it’s well known that there’s fakes sold on that site as well as many others.
- Comment on Do you actually own anything digital? 4 months ago:
Personally can’t justify many series in 4k, some of the ones I have only ever got SD releases (DVD at best) but there are a few I can justify 4K for. Mainly very cinematic shows such as The Mandelorian or The Last of Us. As long as they have subtitles in the other shows and are available in their best original release resolution it’s fine for me.
For example if the original Doctor Who series had a 4K release for it’s entirety it would probably be my entire server lol. 693 episodes in 480p is almost 300GB.

Right there with you buddy, 13TB and growing. Self hosted media servers are the best.
- Comment on And I will die on this hill. 4 months ago:
I feel Damon Albarn might fit this as well, specifically with Gorillaz. They don’t have a style because it always changes on each album, hell their shit post song if the full version of Do Ya Thang where Andre 3000 just says “I’m the shit” for over 7 minutes.
- Comment on What DID Apple innovate? 4 months ago:
I’ve got an '08 iMac with this version of MacOS, El Capitan I believe. Going from that to my 2019 M1 MBP running Sonoma is really no different. Sure there’s features missing but I can still sync my notes and the few other Apple things I actually use between the two.
Plus my iPods can still sync with both devices, they just moved iPod into Finder in the new versions.

Also animals, I saw a video of someone doing it to a pit bull and after he cracked the dogs neck the pit gave him the “I’m going to rip your fucking throat out” look.
It’s straight up animal abuse.
- Comment on Could electronic mail undermine conventional post? – archive, 1 December 1983 5 months ago:
We hate delivering them just as much as you hate getting them. Your best bet is to call the companies sending them and have them remove your address from their mailing list.
You could also go to the full extreme of just removing your mailbox and getting nothing, but sadly that also includes any packages sent through the USPS. They’ll get returned as No Mail Receptacle.
- Comment on Fallout TV Show - Trailer 5 months ago:
I mean it can’t be worse than the Halo show, at least this looks decent from the trailer.
Can guarantee it’ll be better than getting mauled by a Deathclaw either way.
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly auto-installing the HP Smart app on Windows 10 and 11 PCs 5 months ago:
I’m there with you, I built my NAS about 8 months ago and now I’m slowly migrating everything to Linux. Once I get an AMD GPU for my gaming system I’m going to nuke my dual boot and run solely Linux, with Windows in a virtual machine if I ever need it. I’ll just run a dual GPU setup, RTX 3090 for the Windows VM and whatever AMD card I get for the host.

Yeah Michaelsoft we get it, you own the OS not us. Now quit doing this shit before you get slapped with more anti-trust lawsuits.

I use it for one single purpose, browsing marketplace. I look for local used game stuff and that’s really it. If something peaks my interest I have my girlfriend message them since she uses messenger, I refuse to have it on my phone.
Even then, I’m using Firefox with UBO so even if they do use my browsing data for ads, I ain’t seeing them anyway.
Turns out you can in fact, cuck the Zuck

I can’t find one specifically about it, all results I find are abount people having trouble connecting their phones.
I remember reading it in a thread here about Mozilla’s privacy finding on car companies but don’t know if it was here in this Technology thread or another instance. Was somewhere in the comments.
