• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is secretly building its own search engine.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is gonna be like the metaverse. It’s gonna get hyped up by all news sources like it’s the next big thing, but nobody will actually care or use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows Recall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if we’re doing a new country too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What version of Linux did you go with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While that’s currently true, I’m extremely curious to see the trends after 10-20 years. Does it stay productive or do problems start cropping up. My current job is strongly requested to be in-person once per week, but otherwise WFH. The occasional in-office definitely helps new hires and such, and I would not be surprised if jobs start moving towards a “wfh except once per week (or two weeks)” ordeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While probably true, this still probably gets him all wound up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump calls for prosecution of Google over search results he says favor Harris⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And if he wins the presidency, he’s going to try to use his power to make those fits matter. I seriously don’t see how people look at this man and think he’s a good option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually invent answers to those and store those answers in a password manager. Essentially turns them into backup passwords that can be spoken over the phone if necessary.

  Where was I born? “Stallheim, EUSA, Mars” Name of first pet? “Groovy Tuesday”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  More and more I try to find my entertainment elsewhere. I am slowly, but surely, migrating away from youtube (and google in general).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Both the love for Generative AI/LLM is overhyped, but so is the hate for it. They’re actually pretty good tools, they won’t save the world on their own in their current state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! I’m so sad they’ve moved away from this. I could pull out my phone AND unlock it in the same grab.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Now everyone will have an easy reference table at hand!"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m vaguely remembering something similar. I have these faint whispers of a memory of my teacher forgetting (or probably, “forgetting”) to cover something on the wall during a memorization test.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So based on the requirements, it sounds like a lot of PCs just can’t run recall anyways?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A surprising number of 'iPad Kids' are on X, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re at a pretty bad part where that type of sarcasm is, someone else’s legit stance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not looking forward to replacing my dumb tv when it finally dies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is something I like to use ublock origin for. Like, blocking ads is nice, but I also love just clearing out clutter from websites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a stupid question?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Once someone asked if Stephen and Stephen were pronounced the same. Presumably they meant “Steven” for one of those, but the question as written was dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Steers Onto Train Tracks It Apparently Mistook for a Road, Police Warn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eventually a great idea, but that’s not rolling out particularly soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but a lot of people come to the agreement that they’ll get married without an official proposal date getting set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Students’ Leaf Blower Suppressor To Hit Retail⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get what you’re saying, but leaf blowers are also commonly used for cleaning up extra grass clippings from the roads, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d go back if the pay bump was enough to cover anxiety about job uncertainty

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is electric pricey where you are? It’s been a while since I calculated, but last I checked, electric was cheaper in my area than gas for most of the electric vehicles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, every now and then kids have amazing ideas that get shot down by adults with no imagination.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z mostly doesn't care if influencers are actual humans, new study shows⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels like a weird study. I can’t tell if the study, or just the article, was trying to make GenZ look like fools yet again, when the actual results found are “GenZ is like a lot of other people in yet another way”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z mostly doesn't care if influencers are actual humans, new study shows⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect a lot of the influencer numbers are pretty inflated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You came up with the idea of a multi-directional treadmill, or came up with the implementation using spinning/tilting disks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t grind anything basically the same way a treadmill doesn’t sand anything. You’re not forcing anything to stay put on the surface, you’re maneuvering on the surface while the surface is counter-moving you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge mulls sanctions over Google’s “shocking” destruction of internal chats⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wager they’re so used to getting away with shit that destroying evidence probably says less about the crimes committed and more about the piss-poor justice system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had similar experiences. Never posted questions myself, but I’ll be Googling for help and find forum posts that are as toxic as you describe.

  It’s been bad enough that the Linux elitism on Lemmy leaves a bad taste, even if I haven’t seen as much of the toxic parts here. I know I’m not the only person of my friends group that feels this way about Lemmy’s Linux crowd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Win 11 has a bunch of new small frustrations without anything crazy good that makes me want to recommend it over 10. It’s… Just really unclear what benefits I’m actually getting from 11.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If presidential immunity is absolute..⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ultra-right wing groups slowly taking over various branches of the government because roughly 30% of the population will always vote for them, no matter what.
