Clearly they mean that they want the growth to be “sustainable”, not the company…
- Comment on Faster than ever: Wi-Fi 7 standard arrives 10 months ago:
From the article:
The bad news is that the 6 GHz wireless spectrum uses shorter wavelengths. Short wavelengths are great for fast data transfers at close range, So, they’re great for connecting to your Wi-Fi 7-enabled HDTV a few feet away from your router
With a range that short, you’re not going to be doing much roaming around. It obviously has some use cases, but unless you need to be streaming data it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
The example we are discussing in this thread is transferring data off of a high res/high performance camera. For many situations this can be done after filming is completed, in which case a cord still makes a lot more sense. Hence my joke.
For live broadcasting it could be useful, but the range still seems quite limiting.
- Comment on Faster than ever: Wi-Fi 7 standard arrives 10 months ago:
That’s connected to the camera by a long thin piece of metal. Maybe we could call it a “cord”. And why stop there, it could be disconnected from the camera when you’re not transferring data.
- Comment on local hunger games construction almost complete 10 months ago:
Didn’t a new Hunger Games movie just hit theaters? I assumed most of this stuff was a result of their marketing campaign…

That ain’t his first rodeo…
- Comment on Watch a 13-year-old become the first person to ever beat Classic Tetris 10 months ago:
I saw the post yesterday, but didn’t watch the video at the time.
Your comment convinced me to watch it, and, boy, was that more interesting than I expected.
One question remains: what are those gloves they are wearing? I get that it’s something that helps with the rolling technique, but is it just for abrasion/chafing prevention? Or does it do something else?

Which, unfortunately, is far too often. In my recent experience…

Why is this “news”?
Just don’t go on Xitter and you won’t have these “problems”…
- Comment on How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest 11 months ago:
My only problem with Oppenheimer is that they should have issued earplugs upon entering the theater. Shit hurt my ears.
Like, I get that bombs are loud, but I don’t need to actually feel pain and probably damage my hearing to get the picture.
- Comment on OpenAI says it is investigating reports ChatGPT has become ‘lazy’ 11 months ago:
It would be awesome if someone had been querying it with the same prompt periodically (every day or something), to compare how responses have changed over time.
I guess the best time to have done this would have been when it first released, but perhaps the second best time is now…
- Comment on I bet Rockstar is thinking twice about *checks notes* making a normal looking female character. 11 months ago:
Yeah, can we please just stop talking about him?
Like, especially for things that have absolutely nothing to do with him…
- Comment on Spotify’s CFO is out days after mass layoffs 11 months ago:
Exiting with a cool ~$10m. Not too shabby.
And since he’s been there since before the IPO, he’s probably done pretty well for himself, regardless.
- Comment on Soon, Google has even more leverage against adblockers - gHacks Tech News 11 months ago:
Most of my personal communication goes through Signal, but I still get a ton of SMS messages.
25% spam 40% scams 30% one time passwords for shitty sites/apps that don’t support better 2FA options 5% iPhone users who refuse to install Signal
Real useful stuff…

The only other version I’ve seen has all the kids asking for fentanyl/fent.
Not sure what the original is.
- Comment on A recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leak on TikTok may have come from a Rockstar Games employee's kid 11 months ago:
Damn that framerate sucks. Is it the TikTok video encoding? Or does Rockstar have some optimization in their future?

- Comment on Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS 1 year ago:
It may be natural to want a status symbol (although that drive probably varies wildly between individuals), but I find it sad that having an iPhone is equated to status.
“Look at me in my expensive walled garden!”
Disclaimer: I also dislike Google’s business practices in different ways

- Comment on New Study: 54% of American Adults Read Below 6th Grade-Levels 1 year ago:
Yeah, the argument makes literally zero sense, but if you bring it up to them, it opens the door for them to talk about other batshit crazy conspiracies. Like needing tighter controls on who can vote. Which are thinly veiled attempts to limit the opposition from voting.
- Comment on They should build ev charging stations with a drive in theater so you can watch a movie as you're charging up to continue your road trip 1 year ago:
15 min for 200mi
vs
5 min for 600mi
Totally equivalent right?
It’s annoying when EV-angelists act like range is a non issue compared to ICE vehicles. I want to buy an EV, but none of them have the range or charging speed I’d require for my typical drives.
