- Comment on Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison 5 days ago:
It was 3.2GB and afaik it wasn’t a bug, but 800MB was reserved for hardware IO
- Comment on World's Video Game Companies 1 week ago:
On a list of non publicly listed companies I would imagine
- Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality 1 week ago:
The article doesn’t state they can’t reach that temperature down on earth, and many processes do. It’s really not the jist of the article. Space manufacturing is interesting for the micro-gravity and better vacuum/less contamination. .
- Comment on Israel ranks lowest in global brand index 2 weeks ago:
Those same people voted them in, and don’t seem to protest his policy of genocide at large. So why would they not be at least partly responsible?
- Comment on Doctor ‘Strangled’ by Police Officer Until She Passed Out at Hunger Strike Protest 3 weeks ago:
I think as long as medical staff are refused access to the prisoner, all medical professionals should refuse to help any cop in medical need. I wonder how long they will refuse staff then?
- Comment on Russia Has Lost 1.2 Million Troops in Ukraine—More Than Its Entire Pre-War Army 3 weeks ago:
Like Russia cares what age you are. As long as you can buffer a few bullets, you’re good to go!
- Comment on Microsoft Edge Pushes an "All in One Browser" Message on Chrome’s Download Page 3 weeks ago:
I’m not being aggressive, but your statement just makes no sense?
Either people pick the default and it’s mostly edge/safari, which as per your own statcounter source is clearly not the case. Or people are not as dumb as you make them out to be and pick the one that suits them.
The prompt was “I had chances to peek into some of my friends’ laptop and was surprised how many of them are using Edge”. Not “I did a survey of the entire world and Edge dominated”
How is this even relevant? If you’re make a statement about people in general, it doesn’t matter which people specifically are mentioned.
But thanks for the humoring!

So how do you explain the chrome dominance? Did I miss something and the dominant os is chrome os this last decade ?
- Comment on Stack Overflow Rolls Out Native Ads in Q&A Feeds for Funding Boost 4 weeks ago:
What’s the point, don’t ads pay per impression? Are there actually more than 5 people still using stackoverflow? I can’t see how this would make them any money.
- Comment on Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama. 5 weeks ago:
So what stops them from supporting HDMI™ 2.1 but just not call it that? As long as they create the code in a clean room scenario I don’t see how they could be liable for damages? Although I assume it has something to with DRM… And then you get into the weeds of the terrible cyber security laws…

Probably bleached too much? She always strikes me as uncanny because she comes across as the female Zuckerberg to me.
- Comment on JSAUX are teasing Steam Machine front panels with built-in screens 1 month ago:
I don’t think the front panel has any connections. Unless they put some pogo pins there. But i haven’t seen them.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 1 month ago:
Well yes, that data source is called stockholders. They eed to ride the hype. Honestly they really don’t have much choice. Either make the users happy or the stockholders. They can’t do both, it’s impossible at this stage. Want to guess which side wins?
- Comment on ‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’ 2 months ago:
I can’t even finish the trailer with how boring and stale it looks. Calling it pretty forgettable is stating it nicely… I’m convinced this game will be released and nobody will even notice. He even sounds bored out of his mind himself.
Maybe there is a market of mobile gamers gone PC that he’s trying to capture, much like Godus? I don’t see how this will entice anyone else.
Basically he has no clout left, even though I still wish for a good Black and White sequel, B&W 2 doesn’t count.
- Comment on Researchers embed digital 'fingerprints' into 3D printed parts — tech may make future ghost guns more traceable 3 months ago:
Sand paper wouldn’t really help. They could just cut a part in half. But yeah no way in hell this will ever end up in any of the open source printer firmwares. So it’s a moot point.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 3 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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.
- Comment on xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure 4 months ago:
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. 4 months 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. 4 months 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 4 months 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! 4 months 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! 4 months 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! 4 months 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 4 months 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 4 months 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. 4 months ago:
How are they not immediately disbarred for this? Surely fabricating documents and citations gets you disbarred right?
