- Comment on Pissing in the shower is better in every way than pissing in the toilet. 2 months ago:
Nah, I’ve got bad kidneys, and I manage not to piss in my own face 🤷🏼♂️
- Comment on Fly-tipping across England reaches record high 3 months ago:
A lot of the time it’s a man with a van scenario, where someone’s had too much rubbish to take to the tip themselves, so have hired someone cheap to take it away. They either don’t realise or don’t care that the person taking the rubbish isn’t licensed so can’t take it to the tip, and the rubbish gets dumped
- Comment on YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They improve heart health and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. They contain almost no calories 3 months ago:
Well, until you get that one that’s randomly hotter than the sun and turns your eyes and nose into gushing torrents, while you try not to cough it out in front of everyone else.
Always when you least expect it
- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 3 months ago:
I have got a mental picture of a Linux super nerd trying to browse through a text only browser on their oven’s display now though 😁
- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 3 months ago:
What? Nobody’s using their browser on an appliance (except for a handful of masochists with Samsung fridges). I said to most people their browser is on an appliance, as in they treat computers, phones, and laptops like appliances, in that they’re mysterious boxes that do a particular job.
Hardly anyone is trying to hack their appliances, and the majority of people just lump their computing devices into the same category - it does what it was designed for and nothing else
- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 3 months ago:
Don’t forget that most people don’t know that blocking ads is possible. To most people, their browser is on an appliance, like a washing machine or fridge. They know how to do the basics, but that’s about it.
- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 3 months ago:
It depends on what you’re doing. I’ve got Mint on my laptop and main PC, and the experience is different on both. On the laptop I tend to play Minecraft and do some basic tasks like taking notes and browsing the web. There’s nothing in Mint that really affects that, so it doesn’t hold me back at all.
On the PC though, I’ve got all of my important software, and some of it has had to be installed manually because the Mint repos are outdated. It’s nothing that’s particularly difficult to fix, but I know my way around computers. For your average user, it would be too much.
- Comment on DRAM shortage fuels fake GPU scams as China-based fraudsters exploit the supply crisis — RTX 4080 GPU sold at cut price was actually an RTX 3060 mobile chip with fake VRAM 4 months ago:
Is it just me or is Tom’s Hardware getting really shit lately? This is the third article I’ve seen where one person has been ripped off and their story is ‘The state of the industry! Scams everywhere! 😱’
One of the others was someone who bought memory that had been swapped for metal weights, and Tom’s Hardware tried to claim that it was a new industry scam because of the price increases, and not a one off
- Comment on Wildlife cam setups? 4 months ago:
Most of the cameras like this that I’ve seen have an app that lets you transfer the photos too. The issue is that you need to connect to the camera with Bluetooth, which then turns on the camera’s wifi for the full connection. The apps do this automatically.
I’ve been wondering if there’s a way to run the app from a computer, and connect to the camera through that, but I don’t know how you’d get it to wake the camera to allow the wifi connection.

One journalist writing a book doesn’t make something true. Chav is not a slur for the working class.
I’m a working class man from a working class area in the UK, and the vast majority of people here have never been described as chavs and never would.

USB floppy drives are pretty easy to buy online now. I bought one from either Amazon or Ali Express a little while ago, and it works perfectly :)
