- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 3 days ago:
Well I concede, I guess there was one metric they were better at. Doing absolutely nothing.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 3 days ago:
Was that even true for comparable CPU’s? I feel this was only for their N100’s etc.
- Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 3 days ago:
If they so said have no math or spatial reasoning then OpenSCAD is the last tool for them to try.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 3 days ago:
I honestly don’t get why anyone would have bought an Intel in the last 3-4 years. AMD was just better on literally every metric.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 days ago:
I’m mixed on this. If the algorithm is known, big channels would just game it. They still will figure it out now and game, but it might take a bit longer. Just like these days most of timef the top 20 results with Google are completely useless nowadays because it’s either AI slop or pure marketing.

An Inch meant something different for most countries not too long ago. If the Chinese inch is a knockoff, then so is the US inch. Only the UK inch is the one truly inch!
- Comment on Humans can't consent to reading. 1 week ago:
I think just like the reading it’s very different per person. I’m great at zoning out and not listening to people. Intentionally or not.
- Comment on Inspiring. Innovating. 1 week ago:
That was the whole point of the Kyoto agreement no? Make it costly to produce co2, so solution could be made to offset it and get paid for it. But yeah the US of course didn’t sign it so yeah…
- Comment on U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business 2 weeks ago:
So true, I’ve officially bought my last Intel product, though I didn’t know it at the time… A shame cause I was interested in their GPUs at maybe some point in the future. From now on it’s either ARM or AMD. Can’t support a company (partially) controlled by a fascism regime.
- Comment on OpenMower: Let's upgrade cheap off-the-shelf robotic mowers to modern, smart RTK GPS based lawn mowing robots! 2 weeks ago:
Yes that would be nice to have. Sadly when I bought my Roomba I didn’t care too much about that. My next one will be hackable though.
- Comment on OpenMower: Let's upgrade cheap off-the-shelf robotic mowers to modern, smart RTK GPS based lawn mowing robots! 2 weeks ago:
I was mostly talking about roombas/indoor. For outdoors you have GPS with RTK which most mowers use that work without a boundary wire, afaik.
- Comment on OpenMower: Let's upgrade cheap off-the-shelf robotic mowers to modern, smart RTK GPS based lawn mowing robots! 2 weeks ago:
Hasn’t this problem long been solved in roomba’s? Mine is about 8 years old and it doesn’t go around randomly. I assumed all new models don’t do that anymore, except for some very cheap off brand vacuum robots.
- Comment on Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow 2 weeks ago:
I don’t shed tears for soulless corporations either. But i also don’t shed tears anymore for a populace that systematically votes for self-harm either.
- Comment on Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow 2 weeks ago:
Why would they take a hit for something the US population voted for themselves? That makes no sense.
- Comment on Arizona court sanctions lawyer for AI-generated false citations: Judge revokes attorney's pro hac status and imposes multiple sanctions after majority of legal citations were fabricated by AI. 3 weeks ago:
How are they not immediately disbarred for this? Surely fabricating documents and citations gets you disbarred right?
- Comment on ‘We didn’t vote for ChatGPT’: Swedish Prime Minister under fire for using AI 5 weeks ago:
I’m just making an objective observation. I don’t condone it. I rather we just have competent politicians. But it seems only people who can’t function elsewhere are drawn to the position…
- Comment on ‘We didn’t vote for ChatGPT’: Swedish Prime Minister under fire for using AI 5 weeks ago:
Let’s be honest though the majority of politicians are so terrible at their job, that this might actually be one of the rare occurrences where AI actually improves the work. But it is very susceptible to unknown influences.
- Comment on Readers are canceling their Vogue subscriptions after AI-generated models appear in August issue 1 month ago:
And none of these magazines or whatever will ever lower their price. Major savings, but only for our shareholders!
- Comment on Two major AI coding tools wiped out user data after making cascading mistakes 1 month ago:
It had such a GLaDOS vibe, so i thought it was a reference to that. I guess life really does imitate art.
- Comment on Two major AI coding tools wiped out user data after making cascading mistakes 1 month ago:
Wait, does this mean the Replit case was actually real!? I was sure it was just a sketch or rage bait. I didnt think anybody could be that stupid…
- Comment on Stop Killing Games is facing a complaint in the EU that uses nonsense logic to accuse the movement's founder of failing to disclose financial contributions he never made: 'It's not paranoia if they re 1 month ago:
Does the argument work both ways? If effort is the same as being paid for. Does that mean pirating a game is the same as buying it? After all it’s basically the same effort these days.
Of course the argument doesn’t fly, as you cant actually buy a game anymore, just a temporary license for an undisclosed amount of time.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 1 month ago:
I’m starting to notice that a lot of people don’t even notice what are ads or not. When i installed pihole and enabled it for all devices at home. My gf was complaining why suddenly a loy of pages wouldn’t work anymore. Yeah, so she always clicked the ad/sponsored link everywhere and didn’t have the slightest clue. And let’s not start about social media and how basically 75% of it is (hidden) ads.
Personally I’m of the mentality if some company force feeds me their ads while i was not actively searching out their product type, I’ll think 3 times before ever considering their products. Thankfully, i see basically no ads (online) anymore these days.
- Comment on Reitti (v1.1.0) Update: Family mode, faster processing, colors! 1 month ago:
So Google maps should be shut down too? Or you could use it to find a route to someone who has been doxxed for free! This logic is really flawed…
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 2 months ago:
Is there really a plan to use this for 911 services??
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 2 months ago:
Maybe so, but that’s a decision they make. Surely I as customer shouldn’t be taken away what i paid for because of that? And if so they should have mentioned clearly upon sale that they would take away my product after 3-4 years (though maybe that’s the case in those dense ToS?) . Everything else should be considered illegal and fraudulent if they planned/knew it from the start. Which is the case if it’s a licensing issue
Besides, I’m pretty sure after those 4 years the code is outdated and they could renegotiate the license to be more open to release a binary.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 2 months ago:
That’s why i also said provide, not just open source. They can release a binary.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 2 months ago:
This is just pure fabricated bullshit. They themselves started limiting options. Remember the old days where you could host your own server with basically any game? They took that away, not us. So they themselves are 100% responsible for this ‘uprising’. Besides they could just provide/open-source the backend and disable drm. Hardly any work at all.
But of course it’s not about that. They just try to hide behind this ‘limits options’ argument. But they simply don’t want you to be able to play their old games. They want you to buy their latest CoD 42.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 2 months ago:
I always see people advocate fir Stremio. But my experience was always very mixed. Half the time it would just buffer all the time. I guess it’s s my own fault for having little interest in the latest Marvel/Hollywood movies, but alas. I way more prefer my jellyfin/jellyseer/arr stack. Once it’s available I’m (99%) sure it works from everywhere in the world.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 months ago:
Jellyfin has a sign in through the app for tv. Which I tell them to use first. And URL is also nothing new. All this stuff are 30+ year old concepts by now. But to each his own!
I’m starting to think it acts as a nice filter. If they can’t grasp an URL + login, it would save me from tech support down the line.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 months ago:
Well yes I know, but that kind of proofs a sign in link is not that important right? :) surely not a deal breaker as they postulated above.
