If i were a nuclear engineer, everyone around me wouldn’t hear the end of it
- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 1 week ago:
Yeah let’s see, if the handle would have to be a different shape, they may need a different cutout for the door, different handle moulds, different mechanical parts, updated electronics… does anyone have a fucking clue how difficult it is to program one of those robotic arms? How expensive new moulds are? Any other potential knock-on effects this may have on the internal design?
People with the mentality of ‘it’s just a small plug at the bottom of the pool, how bad could it possibly be if we removed it’
- Comment on Whoa! Windows 7's market share surged, tripling in users last month 2 weeks ago:
If it were offline machines, then they wouldn’t be on these statistics
- Comment on Life imitates art 2 weeks ago:
God I hope we’re in the matrix. I refuse to accept this is the reality now.
- Comment on IT'S A TRAP 2 weeks ago:
Ah yes, I remember my eyes glazing over as things got too complicated to fit through my thick skull
- Comment on Reddit stock falls for second day as references to its content in ChatGPT responses plummet 3 weeks ago:
I’ve had to start calling it AI because most people don’t know what LLMs are, noone cares to go through the explanation, including myself.
I’m afraid that, as these things go, AI has gained a new meaning by popular use, rather than the original meaning of the acronym.
No point fighting it anymore.Maybe we just need to adjust and start saying GAI (generative ai). It has a nice ring to it too.
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 3 weeks ago:
It will not hinder it either. People will give up many things before their smartphones.
- Comment on What if we were *just a lil evil*? 3 weeks ago:
100%. This needs to be a law or it can’t be expected to happen.
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 3 weeks ago:
Work profiles exist for this reason. A completely separate environment that is isolated from the rest of the phone and can be turned on and off on demand.
Some manufacturers, like Samsung, make it difficult to access, but it’s there. - Comment on 1919 (correctly) 3 weeks ago:
My (potential) marriage is safe!
No, wait… - Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October 4 weeks ago:
It’s absolutely everywhere. Have you checked fricking Notepad recently? (I do like the other improvements to it though, tangent)
I don’t care on my work PC, not my data, but it’s concerning how little control or oversight we’re given as users (approx. none). - Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 5 weeks ago:
Have to partly disagree. The loading screens, whilst usually brief, were very annoying.
Elite Dangerous, No Man’s Sky or Space Engineers accomplish similar tasks without needing those, or having to limit the accessible planet area.
I understand that those were limitations of the engine, but it could just be speculation. - Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 5 weeks ago:
You gave them a hammer and their nail has not gone in straight?
Clearly your fault. And the hammer’s. - Comment on emergency remote access 1 month ago:
I have my ‘incident recovery’ docs on my server.
It went down once, and when that connected, my single thought was ‘fuck’ haha. - Comment on Important Notice of Security Incident 1 month ago:
People don’t seem to understand that no-one can reasonably stop a breach today.
The question is whether the attackers got anything of value and how easy they got in. - Comment on Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month 1 month ago:
Can you say how? If you could just name drop whatever services you’re using, that would be appreciated
- Comment on choice 1 month ago:
Somewhat unfunny answer: a 3cm diameter ball of thorium, that easily fits into one’s palm by size, should be enough to provide all power an individual uses in a lifetime.
This can change a lot based on usage and actual power generation efficiency. - Comment on A conundrum 1 month ago:
Considering how much data they can get on anyone, this process seems pointless and outdated, except to give them somewhat arbitrary power over who can get a loan.
Not that I like such private data to be available at any institutions fingertips, but so it is these days. - Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 1 month ago:
Fusion is easiest to get going for ‘serious’ projects as a beginner.
I will use it while I can, or until an equal alternative is available. Nothing lasts forever. - Comment on mkdocs for recipe catalogue 1 month ago:
I love mealie. I can steal online recipes, catalogue them, adjust them to my liking, plan all the shopping. Definitely a core self hosted service in my house.

That’s… not how that works.
- Comment on No justice, no peace. 1 month ago:
From radius (of the weapon) back to source. Just a backwards way of saying it the way I read it

I don’t mind the Microsoft style, but I wouldn’t be sure it’s a shark without context

- Comment on It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes 2 months ago:
Well, there is a use case.
I don’t know much about statistics. I can (i assume) as the ai questions in natural language that I would otherwise have to research how to calculate.
Of course, I may get a result, but I won’t be any smarter. If that was the goal, then great. - Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 2 months ago:
They would definiyely want to employ that, if this bullshit actually had anything to do with protecting children.
- Comment on DissolvPCB enables fully recyclable 3D-printed circuit boards with liquid metal conductors 2 months ago:
That is crazy good… if all I need is to get a pcb heater and learn how to surface mount to print someone’s custom board, it really opens up the possibilities of open source electronics.
