So well thought out, you truly must’ve spent a long time sitting on that one.
- Comment on Recognize the mother of Wifi 1 week ago:
That’s an incredibly sensationalistic way to put it. By that logic, the ancient greeks are the forefathers of WiFi, because they figured how to create static electricity using cotton and ambar.
You can (and should) give credit without overstating their achievement.
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 1 week ago:
It’s complicated. Essentially, YT spends 24 hours a day trying to dodge the fallout of stupid decisions taken during the previous 24 hours, ad infinitum. They were bashed for certain decisions related to 4k video (which used to be called 4k, then changed to 2160p, then back to 4k, then back to 2160p), leading to the current name scheme.
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 1 week ago:
4k and high bitrate 1080p are actually the same thing.

- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 1 week ago:
No, I’m not a point. Oh, you mean your point. Funny how you don’t know that, as an American.
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 1 week ago:
For starters, cull the immense amount of duplicated content. Look for some random common word and sort by recent, you’ll see thousands of channels from India, Pakistan and similar nations reposting the exact same videos. There’s also an ungodly amount of spam. These two things alone would, I’d guess, cut down a good chunk of server costs. Another thing is optimizing bitrate, I often get served “1080p” content featuring little more than a static image while browsing in my 6" phone.

- Comment on If people from the US love the imperial system so much, why are their musicians using metronomes instead of footonomes? 2 weeks ago:
Because “metronome” means regular measure, not regular metre.

AFAIK, cards older than GFX1030 require manual setup, including building parts of ROCM with modified flags, since v5.1
- Comment on fossil fuels 2 weeks ago:
Unfair comparison – Isildur was a great leader, defeated Sauron and resisted the dark pull of the One Ring for decades. Corporativist scum, on the other hand, brings no benefit to anyone.

If only AMD could get their asses to release a stable and functional ROCM implementation, I could migrate 100% to Linux.

Are you blind, deaf and dumb, or just living under a rock? The EU has been slapping fine after fine on scummy American companies.

Your proposed billionaire tax would still leave them ahead. My proposed tex would leave them a head.
- Comment on Slay the Spire devs followed through on abandoning Unity 3 weeks ago:
What I love most about Godot is that it doesn’t give a fuck whether you want to use python-like code or write your own libraries in C#/C++. 10 minutes and you’ve got something working.
- Comment on Slay the Spire devs followed through on abandoning Unity 3 weeks ago:
Of course they did. Godot is a freaking dream for most game genres.
- Comment on New Yawkers Be Like "But It's True Doh! You haven't LIVED Until you HAD DAT PIZZA..." 3 weeks ago:
New York pizza surely looks better than the sad cardboard that passes as food throughout most of the US. Now, if you want the best pizza in the entire world, come to São Paulo - even traditional, grandma-made Italian pizza can’t compete.

They do, but not so much that your average home user would notice without having more than enough time to fix the problem.

Read it as 120TB at first and my eyes nearly jumped out of their sockets.
