It’s almost like that’s the joke presented in comic form.
- Comment on Help me identify a filament's material 1 week ago:
Brass nozzles are cheap. Cheaper than a length of purge filament. But if you’re using a specialty nozzle, it can certainly be worth a good purge before throwing out an otherwise fine nozzle.
- Comment on Help me identify a filament's material 1 week ago:
Could be some sort of purge filament. They’re meant to be run at high temperatures and forced through the nozzle so that they can flush out any leftover material stuck inside.

- Comment on French court blocks Google project to limit news content in searches 2 weeks ago:
Google is trying to pick and choose who to filter out of results.
The SEPM claims that Google was preparing to test a scheme that would exclude articles from specific media outlets with which it is in dispute over rights to online news content.

Yes, sorry. I confused them for some reason.

If I was a hungry sea turtle, I’d open the jars to check which one of them has jellyfish inside.
- Comment on After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, for sure. Raytracing is very computationally intensive. It doesn’t make sense to do full-scene raytracing unless you have hardware that’s specifically designed for it. It works for something like quake since none of the scenes are particularly complex, but obviously you don’t hit anything close to the same framerates as you would with raster rendering.
- Comment on After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft. 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been playing Cyberpunk on an RX 7900XT at basically maxed out graphics, with only some of the raytracing reduced to get it to a consistent 60 fps. The game looks stupid good. But the raytracing is only for shadows and reflections and it has such a massive impact on performance, though I know my GPU is not as effective at raytracing as Nvidia would be.
Like the other reply mentions, Control also looks great with raytracing on, but the scale is not the same as Cyberpunk, so the framerates don’t suffer as much.

- Comment on First Steam Deck plugin on Steam will bring GOG and Epic Games compatibility 1 month ago:
A paid plug in just seems pretty shitty to begin with.
I know Heroic can add your GOG and Epic games to Steam which would make it moot, but unfortunately most people probably don’t use the desktop mode anyway.
- Comment on Windows MR Headsets No Longer Work In Windows 11 24H2 1 month ago:
That’s worse than just not maintaining code. They could stop maintaining it, but keep the current version active. Instead, they remove it entirely, and now a physical object that was purchased becomes ewaste.
- Comment on there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites 1 month ago:
Why do you like to use this site if you know it’s trying to abuse you? There are countless others out there.

Not sure how it works with your printer, but with mine on Klipper, after bed leveling I have to save and restart the firmware, and then I have to go back and select the profile that I just saved, otherwise it doesn’t use it.
- Comment on YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books. 2 months ago:
A knowledgeable user will be aware of these shortcomings of so-called “ownership” of digital goods, but the average person doesn’t read license agreements and does not understand that their purchase can be revoked at any time by the seller.
The average person makes a purchase and expects to own the item in question.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 2 months ago:
That’s because the arbitrators are hired by the company. Unless it’s an egregious situation, who’s going to side against the people signing their paycheck?
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 2 months ago:
Most disputes most likely fall far below the limit for small claims, where a lawyer is not required, or even allowed in many cases.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 2 months ago:
For most people, it’s a hobby for fun, not a job.
Those that want to make a job out of it tend to spread out the content creation to youtube and tiktok, and often sponsorships fill in the gaps.
The ones that actually make a decent living only from streaming are a fraction of one percent.

Gotcha, that makes sense. The article makes it seem like 10 is all you get.

So the most expensive version of the game only includes 10 airports?
- Comment on Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are suing the Palworld developers for "infringement of patent rights" 2 months ago:
This is about patents, not about copyrights, for anyone confused. It’s not because some of the characters look like existing pokemon, it’s likely about game mechanics that Nintendo holds patents on.
