like, not a crash just the battery died and they decided not to break the glass on their fancy car?
- Comment on Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers 2 days ago:
I posted this when Youtube was doing it by mistake too…
If you are paying to not receive ads, and you receive an ad by mistake, they should pay you whatever they earned on the ad. Now… I doubt they’ll actually pay you, but lets say at minimum 1 day of free extended service per ad, but if they earn more than 1 days worth via the ad, then it should be whatever that is.

Alas, we’ll stop seeing that.

Who are we kidding that number is outdated at this point. Probably 40% now given the increase in ridiculous bugs.

Soon your OS will get into a never ending loop with the browser and the website.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 1 week ago:
You could plug the bluetti into wall power and while there is wall power it runs off that like a UPS.
That setup I believe would also use solar while it was producing, but the moment solar was gone it’d switch to the house power.
If the overall load is more than house power can give via an outlet (you coupd add a beefier outlet) it’d start draining the battery.
I dont know if bluettis software says use solar / battery only until battery is 10% kinda thing so this might not be optimized to use solar properly.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 week ago:
They were changing their pricing model. It doesnt matter if its a flat cost or per download cost.
No matter what, unity is getting paid when usage reaches a limit, it was never entirely free at scale.

Thanks, that’s a really cool site! Echoing the other comment about no YouTube, and also I thought it was hilarious that Spotify was the first option.

That is insane lol.
We’ve sold you the rights to include the music in your game.
We have not sold you the rights to sell your game to anyone!

I dunno about that given what another person replied with about threatening someone from singing in a store.

Unity never tried that? They wanted to charge the developer using Unity.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 week ago:
The only way I can see this being different is steam shows preview videos of the game which have music.
Amazon often only shows the box it sells in and pictures.
Its still stupid because the game developer has the rights.
- Comment on 'Consider a system with no DRAM' replaced by a 'recycling fiber loop': John Carmack envisages bold future to avoid AI-driven RAM crisis 1 week ago:
The article was saying the spool would give them 32gb, hence the multi strand thought. Were going to want hundreds of gb to run a decent model.
- Comment on 'Consider a system with no DRAM' replaced by a 'recycling fiber loop': John Carmack envisages bold future to avoid AI-driven RAM crisis 1 week ago:
So we’ll soon have houses built with a place to hold a spool of 200km multi fiber cable (which shouldn’t be too big, Ukraine drones carry 40km worth of single strand) and we can plug out computers into it.
- Comment on U.S. customs searched a record number of electronic devices last year— Recently revised directive adds flash drives, smart watches to searchable devices 1 week ago:
Have it take over the computers camera, take a picture of them, use AI to remove their clothes, do a Nelson HaHa, then brick the computer.

I wonder how that would go if you explicitly tell them what it is and they did it anyway. Hiding its purpose might cause issues, but telling them and being ignored must be different?
- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 1 week ago:
Ive been around the internet since early dial up days, and while I haven’t used every social platform that appeared, Facebook was the one where I saw everyone was really just posting their projected self, the world is amazing fake lives. I dont think it necessarily started immediately like that, but it quickly became that.

- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 2 weeks ago:
That’s a little different.
Items that can expire get marked down at some point during the day, but they aren’t changing the normal price of the item. If there’s 20 packs of chicken beasts on the shelf, 5 or 6 might get the sticker.
There’s no guarantee that the one you have would have even gotten a sticker, and if you’re savvy enough, you might have intentionally chosen the pack with the earliest packed on date.
They aren’t just going up and marking down the main price on everything, and its also always down, never up.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 2 weeks ago:
Haggling might be fine but they have to honor price tags.
If I’m in a grocery store and I see $1.00 they can’t change it and try to charge me $1.10, and when I object and say it was $1.00 it shows $1.10 now.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 2 weeks ago:
Should be against the law the change the price after the shop opens at something like a grocery store. Nobody should shop anywhere where the price you pick it up at can change by the time you get to the checkout.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 2 weeks ago:
The coolant still needs to remain relatively cool to hold that silicon temperature, though. Practically it can’t be like 60C.
Ah, ya rhat makes sense, whatever the numbers the the chip can be the coolant will be less.

I just wanted to add another note
Even if this ozone thing turns out to not be true, there are still all sorts of other things being burned up in the atmosphere that can have other potential effects. It all needs to be studied.
I wouldn’t be surprised if 50-60 years from now, if there is a real issue, that it eventually comes out that SpaceX or other mega constellation companies figured out it would be a problem, and just said nothing. Much like how big oil new CO2 was a problem forever ago and hid it.
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 2 weeks ago:
It’s possible it could go to a higher orbit, but we don’t have mega constellations in those orbits. I’m don’t know enough to know how far something could get flung up either, but I suspect if you’re in a 5y orbit, you aren’t reaching a 50y orbit area, and probably not even a 10y orbit area.
