Pfft Ubuntu has existed for years.
- Comment on Had to look this up 2 days ago:
I feel this characterises it as more of a border dispute between nation states. I’m not going to get into the rights and wrongs of any side in this (because it’ll take far too long and frankly I doubt I could be completely objective). I’m commenting only to say it wasn’t that.

He’s trolling, right? Like he can’t be seriously sitting there saying that?

Finally maybe we’ll get the spore drive movie everyone’s really been waiting for.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 2 weeks ago:
The vroom vroom noises are good too.
Interestingly I’ve a relative who used to be a car salesman and still gets invited to dealer events occasionally - he was telling me about an electric he got to test a year or so back, it had a simulated gear shift/gear knob setup. He said people were loving it.

Of course, do now want though
- Comment on US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router 2 weeks ago:
It’s kinda like my google ethos, Google are already spying on me, I might as well use their phone and then Samsung aren’t spying on me as well.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 4 weeks ago:
I’m not trying to belittle the contribution of Valve or Proton or anything, completely agree it’s a massive contributor. There’s also a lot of work done by a lot of people to get us to that point (and tbh I flipped a long time ago and did more console gaming, so I kinda see it from the opposite perspective - proton has brought back PC gaming for me rather than allowing me to break free of windows.)

Fairly sure my daughter would be all over these.

That alone indicates the trolling nature of the post.

Any clutch ending
- Comment on Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica 5 weeks ago:
Logitech used actually be good at this. Look at their squeezebox software and Logitech media server, they were open sourced, released to the public and are still under active development and in widespread use.

Gotcha, vlan setup sounds like the best possible way to do it, I don’t trust my security skills at all, 22 with fail2ban is about as far as I trust myself!
The hammering 22 gets is astonishing though.

- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 1 month ago:
It’s not enforced though. A recorded voice will come over the tannoy and say “no smoking, something something” and everyone carries on with their day.
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 1 month ago:
How old are the old days, I used CATIA V5 for a stretch around 20 years ago and I’ve mostly gelled with freecad pretty well (some odd decisions here and there and some bugs, though a lot of those can be attributed to the kernel). I’m wondering if I’ve just got an old CAD head.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 month ago:
I’m not OP to be fair, but I think they said all games. I do believe I’ve conflated two chains, there’s another post about lack of physical space up there somewhere. MITX motherboard on an SFF build I can definitely see it. I’m not sure sacrificing graphics card is going to be better on a gaming PC.

Sorry, I meant any more details about sending books to kindle via USB - I’ve never had any issue doing this.

What do you suggest they do with the other 3TB of data?
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 1 month ago:
Yeah, £15 was pushing it, I don’t play as much as I’d like, big benefit was cloud gaming facilitating couch co-op, but at the minute it’s mostly my kids playing Minecraft, cheaper just to buy that.
