- Comment on After Years of Waiting Jellyfin Finally Lands on Samsung Tizen TVs 4 days ago:
I do? I don’t love Android TV but I only have so much time to fight to the good fight with shit.
I would like a less smart tv but I don’t want to by a 7 year old Nvidia Shield and suffered paralysis by analysis trying to decide on on an Android TV box.
So here we are, I use jellyfin on a smart TV
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
Im not generally making source code changes. It’s the dependencies.
Mainly we’re talking about building very old versions of things like libpng. Making things like autoconf and configure and cmake all work is a pain in the ass as their versions slowly change.
The business would be content to let it run on Ubuntu 12 until it’s a major problem so I can’t let the perfect be the enemy of good.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 1 week ago:
Honestly if part of their job is at all trying to get old shit to run on new operating systems AI is very useful for that task.
Part of my job is keeping a 30 year old c++ application compiling and building on newer versions of Linux. LLMs have made this a far easier experience.
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 2 weeks ago:
I mean that is expected, though I guess that is my bias. I just meant that is was more “layman” than running your own storage system.
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 2 weeks ago:
Ubiquiti offers a product that will do that out of the box iirc but I have no idea if it’s good.
Still ring has been handing stuff to the cops for years at this point. They only “stopped” recently and I guess started again.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 weeks ago:
That’s… Not quite true. Usually they take access quite seriously. If in a multi tenant space every space will be separated and the physical cages around the machines locked and monitored.
All the same they are designed to keep small numbers of mostly law abiding people out, not an angry mob with torches.

Yeah but it’s really easy to hurt their feelings so be mindful

Datacenters are expensive and soft targets.

You don’t need to wear the hat.
Just show up three quarters of the way through a busy shift and tell them they would look pretty if they smiled more.
- Comment on a man of many minds 2 weeks ago:
I have not seen Gillette in while ( he’s not really my jam) and then I saw him in Marty supreme. He has lost a lot of weight and is also much older. Turns out time keeps on turning, who knew.
Anyway all that just to say that’s a really old image of him.

I get it, but at the same time I don’t get it

It would make me laugh if they could train an LLM that could only regurgitate content verbatim

Interesting… But that makes me ask… Where are they getting these sea mines?
- Comment on 200 million records exposed in massive Pornhub data breach — here’s what we know so far 4 weeks ago:
There is a subset of boomers who do this shit.
Usually it’s someone whose first email / phone was a company phone and never moved to a personal phone.
Still wild whenever I see it happen.
- Comment on Nvidia insists it isn’t Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith 5 weeks ago:
Perfect place to be in to get a bailout. Nothing better than to pump it to the max and try and make it some one else’s problem

- 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 1 month 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 month 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 month 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 1 month 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.

- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being "Unimpressed" by AI 2 months 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’ 2 months 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.

The cars are decent value for money but the dealerships are an absolute scam

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.
