- Comment on PC Master Race 1 day ago:Oof, if you think the gouging is bad on consoles, wait till you look at GPU prices. I haven’t owned a console in almost a decade, but the price advantage is still on the console side. 
- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 1 day ago:LMBO I posted the answer to your question in this same thread at the exact same time you asked it. 
- Comment on ARC Raiders | Launch Trailer 1 day ago:It’s an interesting concept, but the pvp was a huge turnoff. Maybe it’d be different if there was an option to form an alliance or truce while above ground, but then it’s just PvE with one massive team. 
- Comment on Plasma TV recommendations? Looking for a decent 50+ inch display for older consoles. 2 days ago:Commercial displays aren’t great for gaming due to latency and refresh rate. Commercial signage displays don’t care about either, so you’re not going to get a good result. I’m on team “get a smart tv and don’t give it Internet access”. Only complaint I have about my LG C5 ID that switching HDMI inputs is ever so slightly more cumbersome than on my old Samsung. 
- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 2 days ago:iirc there’s a common mod with aluminum foil tape which makes them work great with capacitive touch buttons 
- Comment on "A computer can never be held accountable.  Therefore computers are a valuable tool for law enforcement and the ruling class." 5 days ago:Oof, I’ve heard they’re as bad as payday loans, so I’ve never used them. Though I’ve also heard that rent-a-center is worse. 
- Comment on "A computer can never be held accountable.  Therefore computers are a valuable tool for law enforcement and the ruling class." 5 days ago:No, I’m sorry, the AI has decided you don’t need that forearm, but you’re welcome to keep the hand. 
- Comment on Performative vegetables: veggies you pack in your kids lunch even though you know they won't eat them 1 week ago:The applesauce packs with ground up veggies hide the flavor decently enough. 
- Comment on ICE Spent 700% More on Weapons. What They Bought Will Terrify You. 1 week ago:Well over 125mm sounds like a cannon to me… 
- Comment on Would dinosaur meat taste more like frog or chicken? 1 week ago:I’m betting the avian dinosaurs tasted like chicken. Or maybe turkey, with a hint of goose. 
- Comment on What is a "Jerk Hut? 2 weeks ago:Een neuken keuken 
- Comment on It's interesting that we have multiple appliances in the kitchen who's sole job is to turn electricity into heat. 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:I think the reason why it doesn’t work is because it allows the user to minimize their ad exposure, not maximize. I’d think the opposite is also true. If you’re trying to maximize your exposure to ads and increase your income, you’re probably not the target audience for the advertised products. If you’re relying on fractions of a penny per ad viewed, you’re not likely to be able to afford the product they’re hocking 
- Comment on Does the filament path of ruby nozzles degrade + is DUROZZLE any good? 3 weeks ago:Ruby isn’t quite as hard as diamond, but it’s close. Technically it’s just red sapphire, and they’ve been manufacturing sapphire for a while to use as lens protectors for phone cameras. Am I missing something? 
- Comment on Rock Band 4 to be delisted on tenth anniversary following the expiration of its licenses 3 weeks ago:What like the songs or Kindle books that can be removed from your library next time your computer logs onto the Internet due to a licensing dispute? With more games and systems requiring online access every X number of days, downloads don’t mean shit. 
- Comment on if we all lived within close proximity of sock processing facilities we'd have fewer problems with socks 4 weeks ago:This is a friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors. 
- Comment on be gay, do crimes (in space) 5 weeks ago:Yup: The claims were later found to be false, and McClain was cleared.[28] On April 7, 2020, Worden was indicted on two charges of making false statements. 
- Comment on  5 weeks ago:It looks like they did announce that a month or two ago, but they also said that the new policy wouldn’t apply to Disney+ & hulu until 2026. Espn+ numbers though won’t be reported for Q4 this year. Then again, it looks like the cancellations aren’t immediate; they are still subscribers until the end of the billing period/month, so it may not affect the total subscriber count too much. 
- Comment on  5 weeks ago:Oh shit, and the current fiscal quarter ends in like a week, so we should hear about the numbers near the first week of November. 
- Comment on  1 month ago:The 30-06 round allegedly used has a 5cm casing fwiw. And harbor freight sells handheld electric engravers which are typically used to put your name/initials on (harbor freight tbf) tool steel, so brass would be fine. But also, pics required before I’d consider believing it. It switched from trans writing on the bullets to Internet/Reddit subculture memes pretty damn quick after the Internet erupted into bloody Kirk memes. 
- Comment on Many of the younger generations of folks don't know what it's like to watch TV series out of order by virtue of channel surfing on live TV and grabbing random episodes here and there 1 month ago:ErsatzTV let’s you do channel surfing with Plex Media. Crate your own channels, make a schedule or randomizer, then flip through to find something to watch 
- Comment on It's banana, pineapple and cherry. 1 month ago:They do, it is called ‘cool blue’

- Comment on Fake history porn 1 month ago:The cake was, indeed, a lie. 
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 month ago:It’s not like I’m manually clearing things out of the ram. And before the power outage last weekend I had an up-time over 2 months. It’s there a way to have the OS utilize more? 
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 month ago:I also have 64, but I’ve seen up to 34 in use a couple times. I could have stayed with 48gb, but the timings/cas latency was much better on the 64gb kit, than running mismatched sizes across 4 slots 
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 1 month ago:Yes. Multiple live operating systems on one USB that have persistent storage without install would be neat, but sounds like it’s distro dependent 
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 1 month ago:This. Right here. Don’t make it easy on the brass by quitting 
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 1 month ago:Can you do a live os with ventoy? With like, persistence^? for data after restarts? 
- Comment on YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment 1 month ago:PLEASE DISREGARD THE PREVIOUS POST, NORMAL SIZED PEOPLE HAVE PLENTY OF CLOTHING OPTIONS. LEAVE THE ODD SIZED CLOTHING FOR ODD SIZED PEOPLE
