- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 1 day ago:
I think the EDPB would have a field day if that was the case.
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 2 days ago:
While I very much dislike that too, it’s very easy to opt out. Just use Windows Pro, Enterprise, or education.
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 2 days ago:
The entire point of recall is that it’s running locally. That’s why only a very very very small subset of all Windows 11 PCs support it. Only “copilot+” pc supports it which are PCs with very specific processors with AI processing. Most notably the new Snapdragon arm PCs.
- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 4 days ago:
Well, half a billion is still a lot of money so it’s great that the union got it so they can spend it on something useful. Half a billion USD is the entire yearly revenue of some fairly large companies in Sweden.
And the fine is not intended to bankrupt Apple, it’s intended to punish them and as a show of force. If Apple still refuses to comply or even pay the fine, the fines would obviously escalate and the max fine on this offence is very very high.
Also remember that the EU generally only cares what they do inside the EU, they care about how it affects EU citizens. So it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to issue brutally high fines based on yearly global revenue yet.

Any examples?
- Comment on Need a tiebreaker 4 days ago:
Or just killed by reality. Just because it has been (hypothetically) invented doesn’t mean that it’s easy or even possible to manufacture at a large scale and/or at a reasonable price.
- Comment on Overclocked Nintendo Switch Modded With 8 GB RAM Is Capable Of Running PlayStation 3 Games via RPCS3 Emulator Surprisingly Well 5 days ago:
They choose to go to mod a Switch. They choose to go to mod a Switch in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
- Comment on Overclocked Nintendo Switch Modded With 8 GB RAM Is Capable Of Running PlayStation 3 Games via RPCS3 Emulator Surprisingly Well 5 days ago:
Yes, I think that’s the point. They just wanted to play PS3 games, they would probably just buy a PS3 for cheap and be done with it.
But this person obviously thought it was more interesting to mod a switch to do it and I fully agree.
This person is the same type of person that makes DOOM run inside a PDF, or something else weird.

Life at stake?
Eh no, not knowing that you should have a backup plan if you want to do stuff like football is far from ruining a whole life.
Let’s say that they figure out that football is a no go at 25 or something ridiculous like that, what happens? Nothing. They can just do something else, they can even study and get some good education if they want. Switching careers isn’t impossible like you make it out to be. Hell, depending on where you live you might even get paid by the government to get a better education.
Let the kid do football but encourage them to do other stuff too (like getting a good education).
- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 3 weeks ago:
I assume they mean that you can use your own domain with their email server.
I.e point your MX records to them.
Of course you always could use your own domain in their email client. It would be a pretty shitty email client otherwise.
- Comment on Important information about compatibility of Nintendo Switch games with Nintendo Switch 2 3 weeks ago:
They are investigating those issues though so I assume they intend to fix them.
I would be extremely surprised if every single game just worked on the first try.

- Comment on Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I wish I could print while it’s drying.
It’s probably possible to modify my solution to allow that but I haven’t and I doubt I have the space for it.
- Comment on Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, you should absolutely use a dryer. It’s especially important if you want transparent prints since the slightest amount of water makes the print way less transparent.
Mine dryer is the cheaper food dryer I could find plus some 3 printer adapter walls so a filament roll fits.
It works very well and is likely better than many more expensive filament dryers.
- Comment on Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? 4 weeks ago:
The transparent PETG I bought last year is pretty damn transparent when printed out at the right settings (iirc, fairly low temperatures, very slowly and the filament must be as dry as possible). The test prints I made kinda looks closer to a dusty lens than a translucent material. I couldn’t find a picture of the test prints I made but I can post some if anyone is curious.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 4 weeks ago:
Aren’t the students provided computers?
Here students usually get provided computers and then MS accounts are no problem since they just have to logon with their domain account.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 4 weeks ago:
Ordering components with unnecessarily small tolerances is stupid and a waste of money but of course they will complain if you can’t make the parts to the specifications.
Why did you even take the order in the first place if you can’t manage to produce them to spec?
- Comment on YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life. 4 weeks ago:
Why would you need to scan it? And why wouldn’t you be able to scan a laminated document? The scan might look worse but I doubt it would be that bad.

So true. But I can’t complain that the software is getting better.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think it justifies putting remote streams as a whole behind a paywall. But I suspect that the feature is very widely used since it makes remote streams work out of the box regardless of your setup. It’s also turned on by default.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
Requiring a subscription for remote access is actually fucking insane, they don’t have any bandwidth costs associated with that other than authentication so ???
They have provided a free relay service for years that makes it possible to access a server even if there are things in the way like CGNAT. That service had a low bandwidth limit but undoubtedly cost them money, so yes. But yes, they should have just moved that feature entirely to Plex pass (there is already a higher bandwidth limit for Plex pass users)
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
Browser apps are very annoying though. The support for some codecs (like HEVC) is usually worse in a browser.
