- Comment on Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more 6 months ago:
Nintendo makes it as hard as possible to use their computers generically. Nintendo fanboys: “Thankyou, sir, may I have another?”
- Comment on Musk considers removing X platform from Europe over EU law - Insider 1 year ago:
Fucking do it.
- Comment on They Literally Don't Make Things Like They Used To – SOME MORE NEWS 1 year ago:
You will find no argument here about the problems that arise when corporations are not required to pay for the garbage they produce.
However.
Optimising incandescent lightbulb efficiency is actually not easy to do. It is easy to make a lightbulb that lasts literally forever, if you run it cooler. But if you do that, your power efficiency will be total shit. (And your light will be uncomfortably red, but let’s say that’s less important for now.) You will waste a lot of money on your electricity bill. There will come a point when you will be wasting more money on electricity than the lightbulb is worth. This breakeven point is difficult to determine. It is a calculation that the average consumer shouldn’t be burdened with.

OH, fire arms! Not firearms.
- Comment on I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app. 1 year ago:
Large parts of the City of Toronto bike share—public infrastructure—requires such an app. Taxpayers without an iphone or android computer can’t access the services they already paid for.
- Comment on Why a ton, and not a megagram? 1 year ago:
If you think about it, tonne is actually a better base unit than grams, because it aligns better with the cubic metre (1m^3 = (approx.) 1 tonne of water.
So really, I would ask why kilograms and milligrams, and not millitonnes and microtonnes?
I can picture it now. I weigh 70 millitonnes.
- Comment on Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste. 1 year ago:
Interestingly, even Pine64’s smart watch requires you to silly cone glue the two case halves together if you want it to be waterproof. It does give you that option, though, which is cool.

- Comment on X revokes paid blue check from United Auto Workers after strike called 1 year ago:
As an ex Elon fanboy let me literally honestly try the best I can here…
The best I can come up with is, “Hi. Elon here. Revoking UAW’s blue check was just a joke. Get it? Humour! I can humourise with the best of them. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
