- Comment on Amazon is cracking down on illegal streaming on its Fire TV Stick 16 hours ago:
It says you’ll only be able to download stuff from their store.
- Comment on Amazon is cracking down on illegal streaming on its Fire TV Stick 19 hours ago:
I don’t stream anything illegal but I have had to sideload a couple of things that weren’t available to download for whatever reason. I’m not going to give up that ability.
It’s one thing if it was never available because they didn’t want to put in the work. I’m talking very generically here, not about Android or the Fire Stick in particular. Like, no one is really going to be upset that something like an MP3 player or a DVD player can’t run whatever software you want. But if your company is intentionally removing such functionality, you can fuck right off. Greed is the only reason to do it.

Don’t underestimate that skill. Helps people make it through the day.

Any chance you’re good at making guillotines? One can hope they become high demand.
- Comment on YSK: you can stop Microsoft users from sending 'reactions' to your email by adding a "x-ms-reactions: disallow" header 1 week ago:
I’m not sure what you even want then. If an email can’t be delivered you should get a kickback notifications saying it can’t be delivered. Though, that may depend on the email service.
Ans if you’re effectively looking for a read-receipt, I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want to be notified of it. I don’t want to have to manually check anything to see if there is new information to look at. An email may be overkill, but 🤷.

Emails don’t need to work like text messages. Why are reactions even a thing for them?
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 1 week ago:
It uses 1% of the energy but is still 1000x faster than our current fastest cards? Yea, I’m calling bullshit. It’s either a one off, bullshit, or the next industrial revolution.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 2 weeks ago:
Uhh, isn’t this just turning them into dumb thermostats? It says you can’t control it via phone. Not that it stops working altogether.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I wish they were under the influence. At least then there’d be a good explanation.

- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 4 weeks ago:
Greed. Can’t be content with what you got. Always need more.

Wait, no speakers either?
- Comment on Does the US charge tariffs on handbags from France? 4 weeks ago:
If any exist, I’d assume so. Do they exist? Who the hell knows. AFAIK, all the ones Trump has tried to implement have been declared unconstitutional, but who can keep up with all his antics.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Compares to a year ago? I’d have to check. I’d say it’s similar though. Compared to pre-pandemic? No. Everything is still like 50% more expensive. It’s only for sure down compared to pandemic levels.

Comer on now. The i9 series are much better heaters.

No, but there is a recurring subscription fee.
- Comment on Can you be sued for defaming virtual K-pop stars? South Korea court says yes 1 month ago:
I can’t speak to Korean law, but this seems like a real stupid take. Actors are different from their characters. You can’t damage a character because they aren’t real.

🤷 I could say the same about a variety of kinks. It’s someone’s jam even if it’s not mine.

I think it just weeds out the people who don’t know their name is The Doctor. Man, their seems wrong, but so does his since Jodi Whittaker. Future linguists will never parse that sentence.
