- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 1 day ago:
There are many, many machines out there running 95 and even earlier versions. The issue is that a machine from 30 years ago is almost always still using the software that came with the machine… 30 years ago.
Even if the OS has received security patches, which isn’t even assured, the company may either no longer be in business, or charge for new OS drivers/specialized software.
In many cases, your options are literally to replace an entire machine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, or deal with the networking nightmare that is “keep this on the network, but not on the network.”

Except frame interpolation like that typically looks terrible even with modern algorithms.
- Comment on AI is draining water from areas that need it most 1 week ago:
But then could it not just be recirculated? I’m not understand why we are assuming we pull out of the tap, and dump into the sewer, when that sounds incredibly costly. Would they not just… dump into a cooling tank, then reuse when down to temp?
- Comment on AI is draining water from areas that need it most 1 week ago:
I’m also confused on how they are “consuming” the water. I’m guessing they aren’t closed loop like most later cooling, but are they just… using it till it evaporates? I legitimately don’t understand where this water goes that it’s just… gone?
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 week ago:
They’ve moved away from touch centric controls, and are “slowly” moving things into the modern settings. I never claimed their shit was clean, just moving in what seems to be the right direction, for the most part.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 week ago:
I agree option 1 is the correct choice, though it does appear they are slowly going that direction… very slowly.
But they definitely didn’t spend millions, nevermind billions, on shoehorning this one extra feature into their existing AI models.

Closed you hold it like a phone. Open you hold it like a tablet. I’m not sure how else to help here. >.>

I don’t believe you.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
“Written by software” does not inherently mean AI.
- Comment on “Bionic Girl” Debuts New Wireless Hands That Even Work When Detached From the Main Prosthetic 2 weeks ago:
Any random individual? Maybe not. But one man bands exist and are completely reliant on this concept.
- Comment on Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' funeral 2 weeks ago:
Quick question, is stopping a serial killer sexist if the killer happens to be a woman?
- Comment on Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' funeral 3 weeks ago:
You clearly missed the point of that scene.
- Comment on Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' funeral 3 weeks ago:
He just doesn’t have the stamina needed to be president.
- Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design 3 weeks ago:
Eh, it’s a fine line tbh. Not that I enjoy defending Google.
You get both “this UI hasn’t changed in a decade” and “this UI is perfect never change it” in relatively equal amounts. The rest honestly don’t care either way.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 3 weeks ago:
While I agree, where do you start if you have zero clue on what exactly you’re trying to accomplish? An LLM is fine for quick search and summary, then read through the applicable data.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 3 weeks ago:
I’m not a prepper and have both a gasoline and solar generator. Generators arent just for preppers, they are commonly owned in areas with regular power outages, for example.
And honestly, solar panels are so common these days you could rig something up with relative ease with a basic understanding of electricity.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 3 weeks ago:
Solar generators exist, and are relatively inexpensive for smaller units.
- Comment on LayerLapse Simplifies 3D Printer Time-lapse Shots 5 weeks ago:
I’m sure this has uses, such as creators making videos. But yeah, normal people don’t really have much use for this.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
I was pointing out that M$ neither made other hardware that doesn’t support W11, or (directly) profits from hardware being outside support for W11. So planned obsolescence doesn’t really apply in any way to 99% of cases people try to say it does.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
I want to point out, planned obsolescence only really applies to their surface offerings.

Ngl this feels like arguing semantics.
- Comment on Everyone knows all the apps on your phone - by peabee 1 month ago:
People need to stop touting FOSS as more secure. More auditable, sure. But there are many, many examples of FOSS applications being insecure or abusive.
The bottom line is just “be wary of what apps you install period.”
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 1 month ago:
“A lack of money will prevent them from doing shitty things for money!”
I get what you’re going for, but it’s likely googles money that has slowed down the enshitification process.
- Comment on Popular 3D printer vendor has come up with a foldable portable concept that's mindblowing 1 month ago:
It’s really weird to take as pessimistic a view as possible on something that doesn’t even exist, and conclude that it’s terrible.
- Comment on Cloudflare LE certificate management? 1 month ago:
I could expose my IP, I was previously and really don’t have a problem with it. My IP is fairly static. It’s just more convenient to use cloudflared internal to the network and proxy the addresses.
If I can’t figure out an automated solution for this, that’s likely what I’ll do. I’m just hopeful there’s a tool out there to do this that I’m just not familiar with.
Thanks for the response regardless, I appreciate you taking the time!
- Comment on Cloudflare LE certificate management? 1 month ago:
I’d be fine with individual certs, the issue I’m running into is that a cloudflare proxy record requires a cert for that domain, and they won’t handle that cert without you paying them. You can, however, upload your own cert for it.
I’m trying to find a way to automate that process, since remembering to update a cert manually every 3 months is outside my ability.

Look into ubiquiti stuff. Keep in mind it’s prosumer/near enterprise equipment though, so has a higher cost associated with it.
