- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 1 week ago:
I thought the price was going to go up because of silicone shortages.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 1 week ago:
I wish. Using a pixel 6 here, not looking forward to when I need to replace it.
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 1 week ago:
Reconcile what exactly? Scientists give the info, if people don’t act on it … What are you expecting researchers to do about it?
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 3 weeks ago:
Or having prebaked fallback ads.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 5 weeks ago:
Or at least they can’t reason the way we do about our physical world.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I straight up misread the question, so I would have gotten it wrong.
- Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows 5 weeks ago:
Sounds like the second piece ought to shove the first one faster. All good.
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 1 month ago:
Yeah, but you can have it scan without implementing.
- Comment on Discord walks back age verification fears for most users 1 month ago:
?? You don’t get to walk back my fears. You can walk back the source, but you don’t get to say “nevermind, you’re not worried about this”.
- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 1 month ago:
He probably used AI to generate a mission statement for the merged company.
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 2 months ago:
First time I tried to use WINE I got extremely confused by it, and ended up with a program that still didn’t function. Literally no idea if it was me or a program that fundamentally didn’t work with Wine.
- Comment on One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years, GDC Study Reveals 2 months ago:
Being able to get in contact easily (with the laid off) would be rough, and creating a new studio with no passive income and only promises is a hard sell. But that’s honestly not a terrible idea. Get devs to coalesce into indie studios ready to make whatever passion game they’ve had rattling around.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots 2 months ago:
Don’t forget it’s actually 3Y, if you want to make sure whatever trolling actually sticks.
- Comment on Meta's latest subscription move is an attempt to offset its AI bets 2 months ago:
How long until the premium version also has ads? It’s the clear trend at this point.
- Comment on TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture 2 months ago:
Up 150% sounds crazy… but like, what’s the rate of installs vs uninstalls here? How has the rate of installs changed?
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 months ago:
Did they ever support that for free?
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 2 months ago:
Man that game is tempting me to try to find a switch 2. I really want to play it but that’s such s hefty price.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 2 months ago:
Or even, like, 0 to 50.
- Comment on Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily 5 months ago:
Wouldn’t that wipe my current data? Like, sure I can install Bazzite, but there’s more setup to be done once again, and if I dislike it then I’m going through the setup once more. I understand it’s not that hard all things considered, but it’s not necessarily easy to just go mucking around with it with limited free time.
- Comment on Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily 5 months ago:
I started with mint, but the more I see about Bazzite the more I wish I had started there. It just seems slightly more aligned to my needs.
- Comment on Amid EA's unpopular $55 billion buyout, Baldur's Gate 3 director takes time "to remind people that making games faster and cheaper while charging more has never worked before" 5 months ago:
Gonna have to do it forever until businesses figure out that half of what makes a game good is that it needs to be a literal passion/art project, and not just a checklist of shit that needs to get done.
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 6 months ago:
I honestly feel like the “you’re trying to hard to pronounce the country/city/food name” vibe is silly anyways. If they pronounce it “Bærthélōnã” in Barcelona, then why shouldn’t I try to pronounce it that way? Especially these days in our hyper-connected world, I don’t really have an excuse of “well I never knew they said it that way”.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 6 months ago:
Or it’s brewing up excuses for declining sales.
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 6 months ago:

- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 6 months ago:
Which ones are you running?
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 6 months ago:
I mean, it’s not in the news anymore, but it’s definitely talked about. Businesses need to decide if they’re hosting on-prem or in the cloud, and if it’s cloud they’ll want to decide which provider, etc etc. It’s just become part of the system.
- Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America 6 months ago:
I can think of a few ways to do that too
- Comment on GN's GPU smuggling documentary is finally back up after being fraudulently DMCA'd by Bloomberg. Go give them a watch to try to make up for the lost traction! 6 months ago:
Hell yeah! Make sure to download it for preservation reasons as well.
- Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse 6 months ago:
What does JetBrains do that makes it miles ahead?
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 6 months ago:
I love the idea, but until stuff simplifies significantly that’s simply not happening. I’m a moderately technical person and all the self hosting options are such a chore. Even simply looking up info about them can sometimes be harder than installing and starting the centralized option.
