- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 3 days ago:
It is confusing, but it is what they do. I’m not sure why they do it. Probably marketing reasons, seeing as a lot of people think bigger number == bigger better. Of course if you know the nominal voltage of the battery pack it’s not a big issue. But yeah Wh or Joule would be better.
- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 3 days ago:
Many batteries these days are rated in Ah, so that’s something.
One reason is because most power supplies are voltage supplies and not current supplies. Though they do report the max current they can supply. Also voltage is in those cases is (arguably) more important. The wrong voltage and it probably won’t work at all or even breaks. Whereas to little current, it probably still does something, though at reduced power or it cuts off at some point.
- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 5 days ago:
When companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. are starting to squirm and whimper. You know you are on the right path. So I take this as a sign that the EU is heading in the right direction.

So how long till Tencent buys Ubisoft completely, takes the IP’s it wants and just closes/sell everything else? I give it a year max

Don’t forget to thank the majority of US voters too. Couldn’t have done it without them.

I’m pretty sure Montreal is one of those places not in France indeed.
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 2 weeks ago:
It’s not like the stock price can get much lower anyway! Best to brawl when you’re at rock bottom already anyway. That said, I don’t think there will be an Ubisoft in 2 years, or only in name.
- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 2 weeks ago:
I highly doubt 12% of the pc market got a new laptop for Christmas. But maybe a lot of corporations got new pc’s for the 2026 budget to phase out windows 10? I still I find a 12% jump huge, especially in the current RAM shortage climate.
- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 2 weeks ago:
Why write this article in January when it’s main source shows an increase of 12% again in that month?? If anything this article should be about how statscounter is a very unreliable metric. Honest journalism really is dead huh.
- Comment on EU explores €93B Trump tariff retaliation over Greenland threats 4 weeks ago:
Most of those companies should already have been banned long time ago. In my opinion, seeing how often those companies have been fined already by the EU or others, they should be marked as organized crime by now.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents' 5 weeks ago:
Jesus this guy really always finds a way to dig deeper in the abyss doesn’t he? Why does anyone even listen to him anymore?
- 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 1 month ago:
It was 3.2GB and afaik it wasn’t a bug, but 800MB was reserved for hardware IO

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 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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?

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 2 months 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 2 months 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. 2 months 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.

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 2 months 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’ 3 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 5 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 5 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 5 months ago:
Was that even true for comparable CPU’s? I feel this was only for their N100’s etc.

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 5 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.
