- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 2 months ago:
Following in porn’s footsteps I see. Can’t pause a video without getting an ad shoved in front of your face.
- Comment on Experimental Video Game Made Purely With AI Failed Because Tech Was 'Unable to Replace Talent' 3 months ago:
Think of AI like computers and spreadsheet software in the early 80s. I bet a lot of accountants were pretty freaked out about what this new technology was going to mean for their jobs.
Did technology replace those accountants? No, but companies probably didn’t need as many accountants as they did before. AI will likely reduce the number of programmers that a company needs, but it won’t eliminate them
- Comment on AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants 4 months ago:
At my job, it used to be the department managers who did interviews and made hiring decisions, but then they changed it so that HR would handle all of that. Ever since then, they’ve gone and hired the absolute shittiest people you can imagine. HR has no idea how to hire people or what to look for.
- Comment on It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription 5 months ago:
One thing I’ve noticed is that it pretty much always takes two days to deliver your items. The only difference is that Amazon will let your order sit in their warehouse for a few extra days if you don’t have Prime.

I remember bike pegs. The things that everyone wanted, but no one ever actually used as intended.
- Comment on Thousands of private camera footages from bedrooms hacked, sold online - VnExpress International 6 months ago:
Why the fuck do people put security cameras in their bedrooms? It’s so weird to me that people do this. Even if you think (or at least thought) that you were the only one with access to the footage, won’t the presence of a camera make you feel like you’re being watched? Are we not on camera enough as it is that we have to be on camera in the supposed privacy of our bedrooms?

I always pronounce the H in Meghan and the TH in Thailand in my head.
- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 6 months ago:
I stopped taking my phone out at WalMart after I learned that their security cameras are so good that they can zoom in on your phone and read your text messages.
- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 6 months ago:
Walmarts’s self checkout is the only one in my area that doesn’t frustrate the hell out of me. I’ve stopped going to certain other stores simply because I don’t like their self checkout system.

I feel like poweramp has a mind of its own on whether or not it wants to actually shuffle your music. Whenever I put my music on shuffle, it’ll shuffle the songs, but then it’ll just play an entire album in order.
- Comment on Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago 8 months ago:
Elon still holds the Twitter trademark, and can sue if anyone tries to use it.

But don’t you dare inquire about the location of Elon’s jet.
- Comment on All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU 10 months ago:
Apple will figure out a way to DRM batteries so that no one but them can sell them and they’ll cost as much as a new phone.
