- Comment on Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on Pixel phones, and it’s a train wreck 4 months ago:
Agreed. Sigh. I’m considering the P9 Pro simply because of the improved modem and fingerprint reader. The AI is useless to me.

I’m still trying to figure out why the new Chromecast needs AI.

claimed an objective opinion, and that supposed to have data and a study to back it
Not “someone”. Me. And I linked to the paper, which itself had many links to other studies backing up my claim. You essentially said “nuh uh, more sources” without providing any of your own. Your bad faith arguments don’t work here, go back to Xitter.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution? 5 months ago:
so let’s get the data and compare
Haha, you’re hilarious. Yes, let’s get the data. You first. You’re really good at telling other people to go get data and sources. Show us how it’s done.

My brother in christ, drones are all over that paper. Have you read an academic paper before? Do you know how to follow sources in papers? Tell you what, you go find some sources of your own and we can compare. Sitting back and saying “nuh uh” ain’t gonna do it. Put up or shut up.

Yes, I do. Here you go champ.

Objectively yes.
- Comment on McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream 6 months ago:
That’s the joke. Nearly every proposed implementation of AI isn’t actually solving a real business or tech problem. It’s just the next snake oil, like block chain, quantum computing, etc. There are real, valid use cases for all of those things. But most companies have no idea what they really are, how they might help, and even if they could help, what it would take to implement to see real results.
- Comment on NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense 6 months ago:
It reminds me of how tech companies are all scrambling to use AI. There was a funny article recently where the author pointed out that these companies are struggling to do very basic things, so the idea that they could somehow tackle AI in a way that’s useful and profitable is silly.
- Comment on California achieves incredible new milestone with its power supply: 'It is the new reality' 6 months ago:
Cool. Now can the local power companies (in cahoots with CPUC) stop changing the rules that make it less and less economically viable for people to have solar on our roofs? Every year they add bigger fees and pay tinier amounts for power generation. The ROI on solar is now measured in decades. And they’re doing it on purpose.

Which games use Vanguard?

It wasn’t. Fisker’s shitty response is what made it an even bigger deal.

Friend, I’ve read this three times and still have no idea wtf you’re trying to say.
- Comment on Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment 8 months ago:
I had the same thought. I’m viewing on mobile Firefox with UBO, but I couldn’t get the comments to load. So I loaded the url in another browser and now I have cancer.
- Comment on Peak technology 9 months ago:
For a second I thought you meant never showed up as in your pihole can’t print to it. I was mildly surprised when my pihole automatically recognized and configured my brother printer on my network. But now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it black holed in my query log either!

- Comment on xkcd #2863: Space Typigraphy 1 year ago:
He’s super smart. To me they’ve always seemed like the idea for a comic starts as part of a funny and/or interesting conversation he was having with friends or colleagues. Then later he remembers some of them and makes comics out of them.
That’s how I imagine it, anyway.
- Comment on Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox 1 year ago:
pihole misses a ton of things that ublock can do
This seems like more of an issue of the adlists you use in pihole. Pihole’s blocking is only as good as the adlists you use on it. I’ve been running a pihole on my home network for years, and I find that as long as I take a few minutes to update the adlists (add new ones, remove dead ones) once or twice a year, it nukes nearly everything. And it’s amazing for blocking things on IoT devices where ublock origin will never be a thing.
Also, they’re not mutually exclusive – one can certainly use both. I use pihole on my home network, and run ffox + UBO on my computers and phone.
- Comment on Prehistoric shitposting 1 year ago:
I would imagine a lot of it has to do with food scarcity. There weren’t trucks and boats and planes to fly food back then. You had to eat what was available in your specific patch of dirt. If there aren’t a lot of options, and what is available can make you sick, you might start trying to prepare it and eat it in different ways until it stops making you sick.
For most people, rhubarb is one of hundreds of options of things to buy from a grocery store. To our ancient ancestors, it may have been one of a small handful of things that grow where they live, and therefore a necessity to figure out how to eat it.
- Comment on Firefox will support at least 200 new extensions on Android this December 1 year ago:
This is extremely annoying, and it’s been a documented enhancement request from the community for years. What’s even more confusing is that it’s only a problem on Android – it works properly on all desktop environments and iOS. I have no idea why they won’t fix it for Android.
- Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline 1 year ago:
I think you meant installing, not running. My comment was about using Rufus to install windows 11.
Comparing the level of effort to run windows vs Linux is a whole other thing I’m definitely not getting into. I use Linux for work and run it on two machines at home, but I also use my Windows box for games. You can use and enjoy both, it doesn’t have to be a religious war.
- Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline 1 year ago:
You can use Rufus to install windows 11 and bypass the requirements. It does everything for you – downloads the latest win 11 service pack, removes the blocking requirements, and you can even tell it to automatically disable all of the telemetry and phoning home. You’ll still need a license key when you install, of course. But I’m running win 11 on an 8 year old PC with zero issues.
Here is a good guide that explains in detail.
