Oxygen plasma sounds like something that could very easily set something else on fire.
- Comment on Microsoft CFO calls for 'intensity' in an internal memo, after blowout earnings 4 days ago:
It’s not only “more”. The company I work for had “record profits, far and beyond anything we were expecting” in 2021. In 2022, we were told that the company made more than in 2021, but didn’t meet the earnings projections. That’s still record profits, but phrased like a loss.
Not only must the line go up, but it has to go up faster than it did before. Nothing less than exponential growth.

- Comment on Thingiverse uses AI to block production of ghost guns 1 week ago:
This is really just a way to save money on human moderators. I’m pretty sure Thingiverse has always forbidden functional weapons. Now they don’t have to examine each one, they’ll just let the machine deal with it.

I find myself in need of a quad/hex-copter capable of dropping a large amount of thermite on a target. How much for one of those?

Haha yes, that was never in doubt.
- Comment on How do I deal with a very negative inner voice/second conscience that's constantly loud? It's like I have two different people in my head but they're both me, telling me opposite things endlessly. 3 weeks ago:
I’m going to tell you what I did. Don’t take mental health advice from some asshole in the internet.
I had two extra voices in my head. One would wait for me to be alone, and then bring up all the minutia in my life I was embarrassed about. The other would bring up my most depressing moments and just groan in my ear and distract me.
The first one I built a cabin for, and put him in it. Whenever I would think about one of those embarrassing moments, I’d put it in a plastic garbage bag, open the door to the cabin, and throw the bag as hard as I could into his face. Gradually I needed him less and less. Eventually he disappeared, so I just put the garbage bags in a can outside the door. Nobody lives there now, and the cabin has decayed into just a rough mound of dirt. The flowers from the window-box are growing in the mound.
I was more viscous with the other one. Every time he showed up, I imagined grabbing him by the neck and just pummeling his face bruised and bloody. Eventually he disappeared too.
I can remember those embarrassing moments or the causes of my depression without hurt now. They don’t have power over me anymore.

Didn’t Microsoft try this bullshit with Windows 8? I don’t want a phone interface on my laptop, and I don’t want a laptop interface on my phone.

ONLY if I’m in total control of it. I barely trust Alexa to turn off my lights. Any AI I invite into my house will live on my own hardware.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 month ago:
I fucking hate Microsoft search. Microsoft controls the OS, they control the file system, why the fuck do they suck so bad at file search?
- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 1 month ago:
Not when the lab and the hospital are owned by the same company. Promedica (local hospital) sent my sample to Promedica (lab) and I got a bill from the lab. Because Promedica (lab) didn’t have my insurance information.
- Comment on Even in space it's possible to get hit by a self-driving Tesla. 1 month ago:
I would argue that one is driving much better than one in self-driving mode, because it can remain on course.

- Comment on Cold Callers phoning during work hours and then not accepting your at work and can't spend 30 mins listening to their script. 2 months ago:
They don’t necessarily want sales, they want call numbers. These poor dipshits sit next to a phone with an auto-dialer and just talk to whoever is on the line. They probably get paid by the number of calls they can make in an hour.

Of course. The vast majority of people don’t think about GIGO, and have been conditioned to think that a computer will always give you the right answer.

If you don’t dabble in Switch modding or anything like that, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about…
I shouldn’t be worried that Nintendo can remotely brick my $500 console. For any reason. Or accidentally.
