That’s a no from me dog
- Comment on Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud 6 days ago:
The principal issue is this, Amazon commingles stock. This means that there is one box for a particular SKU. If a seller sends product to Amazon for fulfillment it gets dumped into the bin with everyone else’s.
This means that if a seller sends counterfeit or poor products to Amazon it gets mixed in with the real ones from other sellers or Amazon’s own stock. This causes major problems as you can see.
- Comment on The Stock Market is Just Financial Fantasy Sports 1 week ago:
They do, however a lot of people have known that for a while.
The large index funds have a lot of influence when it comes to voting.
As more and more people just invest in ETFs I do wonder if we are headed for some delightful market crash as a result.
I’m not even close to an expert though… Which is why I use index funds in the first place. Just wondering how I’m going to get screwed before it eventually happens.
- Comment on Windows Marketshare since 2010 1 week ago:
Most people don’t fake agent strings but the bots sure do.
The actual thing obscured by this graph is the amount of users. Most people use mobile devices now and companies are incentivized to use apps there instead of actual desk top machines.
- Comment on How customer service jobs be 2 weeks ago:
Usually understaffed and not paid enough to give a shit.
That line cooks life won’t change one iota whether you get pickles or not.
Likely they are just getting mixed up with other orders and someone else isn’t getting their pickles.

You know it’s a good comic when they have to explain it with the I have autism pin.

What if instead of a pipe to return the steam we use a freaking laser beam!
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being "Unimpressed" by AI 4 weeks ago:
Right?
If he is the head of AI it’s literally his job to understand why people are resisting adoption.
Likely he knows the answer but to say it out loud would be admitting something he can’t.
- Comment on Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’ 4 weeks ago:
People stopped needing more processing power in their laptops years ago. For the majority of users a computer has long been a thin client for Chrome.
Since a lot of arm design has been around efficiency and performance per watt they would be a natural choice for laptops.

The majority of the steam deck SKUs were produced prior to the AI memory crunch.
These steam machines are being produced in a market where memory is 3 or 4 times more expensive.
This box will be more than a steam deck. Probably 1000 bucks or so.
- Comment on Hyundai car requires $2000, app & internet access to fix your brakes - what the actual f 4 weeks ago:
The cars are decent value for money but the dealerships are an absolute scam
- Comment on Hyundai car requires $2000, app & internet access to fix your brakes - what the actual f 4 weeks ago:
They don’t want body kits they want a kit car. There are a bunch on option but they are usually servicing a very specific niche in the market. Sports cars or rally fighters or the like.
- Comment on Hyundai car requires $2000, app & internet access to fix your brakes - what the actual f 4 weeks ago:
They did but they are actually far worse. John Deere is into some DRM bullshit but Kia / Hyundai dealerships have the worst record for recommending things you don’t actually need and then over charging you.
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 5 weeks ago:
I do wonder if people have never met a senior in cognitive decline.
If you have you start to see the signs in a lot of the old people in Congress and the white house.
Trump can’t remember what he did last week.
- Comment on Reselling tickets for profit to be outlawed in UK government crackdown 5 weeks ago:
You think that, until you realize that live nation controls almost every venue in your city/state/country and then you start getting juiced for even smaller acts.
If they want to keep their vertical integration they should have to play by some rules.
- Comment on Reselling tickets for profit to be outlawed in UK government crackdown 5 weeks ago:
They do, that’s ticket masters entire value add for them.(Well that and the fact that they control a lot of venues).
You get mad at ticket master and not the artist.
- Comment on Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search 5 weeks ago:
Try the free trial.
They give you enough searches for free that you should be able to figure out if there is value for you and the type of searches you do.
I find it a much better experience than Google which was what I was using before.
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 1 month ago:
Only the poors will have this. Your land Lord is going to go for the cheapest option which will probably have a screen you don’t want with sound you can’t mute.
People buying subzero or other luxury brands will be fine though.

I’m pretty sure interest only mortgages already exist in some places.
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 month ago:
I have a one plus phone.
The super vook charging works very well. It feels like less than 10 minutes to go from 10 to 80 percent.

Eh the Soviets had plenty of their own man made famine (Holodomor, among others)

As much as America is fat as shit the rest of the world is not far behind unfortunately.
- Comment on The height of sophistication: the 1994 McDonald's manager collection 1 month ago:
I don’t know about your area but mine is nearly all those slow ass Touch kiosks. At best there is one person manning the till.
It would amuse me greatly if they dressed up the kiosks like this though.

Every time you read it it’s in a mouse or a petri dish.
I wish they would put that on the headline.

For us poors sunscreen is the best value per dollar. Especially men, because women often include it with other cosmetics (even if it’s not that effective and you should be using a straight up sunscreen)

With shorts timing is all that matters.
- Comment on YouTube deleting videos documenting Israeli human rights violations 1 month ago:
It’s 2025, at this point people really need to understand that YouTube is not your friend and doesn’t exist to further your cause.
It’s a money making outfit not a means to social change. All of its incentives only allow it to try and make money at all costs.
At this point you need to host your own shit or suffer the whims of those who do.

So how am I supposed to identify a “stealth Spam campaign” using the search function.
I just see Kagi users saying they like kagi.

Can I see examples of kagi please.
