- Comment on Best HDD/SSD for local media hosting 1 day ago:
If you live in a high energy cost area the ROI on going SSD can be as low as 3-4 years
~$800 on two 8tb SSDs
2 x 8tb HDDs is roughly $200USD
I don’t know what kind of electricity prices you’re paying, but to hit a 3 year ROI on your SSDs, you’re paying at least $1.5USD/kWh, assuming the full 15W consumption of the HDDs and assuming negligible power.consumption from the SSDs.

I tried blocking anything Amazon in my adguard…holy shit that broke a lot of sites, I had to unblock it to have functional internet.

Yeah holy shit, this sounds like a POS software I’d stay away from it.
- Comment on We need to nationalise Google, Facebook and Amazon. Here’s why 2 months ago:
Considering it wouldn’t need to run for-profit, it would cost much less than their market evaluation.
I’m not the guy suggesting nationalising SoMe, and I actually don’t think it’s a good thing to nationalise that particular function.
- Comment on Google’s head of Pixel 9 design won’t apologize for its big, beautiful camera bump 2 months ago:
Huh, maybe it’s just One+ then IDK. But honestly I couldn’t care less, my.phone always charges overnight, so I have no need for anything more than 5W anyway.

Doesn’t most phones go that high these days? The One+ phones has their “warp charge” which maxes out at 65W

How high do you want your taxes to be, for a start?
High enough to cover proper healthcare and education (including higher education) for everyone. Personal wealth should never be a factor when it comes to education and healthcare.

- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 2 months ago:
Should you really be concerned about a system that can be physically ruined by malware? I would say definitely yes…
- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 2 months ago:
Of course there’s a financial reason, they’ve done a cost}benefit analysis and decided that it’s financially better to screw over those customers than to spend money fixing it. But that’s exactly the issue!
- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 2 months ago:
I think what most people disagree with, is that the active choice from AMD to not fix a very fixable issue, is a choice they know leaves customers is a seriously bad position. This is something they choose to do to their customers, because they could just as well choose to help them.

- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 2 months ago:
what I meant was that apparently only compromised systems are vulnerable to this defect.
That is not correct. Any system where this vulnerability is not patched out by AMD (which is all of gen 1, 2 and 3 CPUs) is left permanently vulnerable, regardless of whether or not they already are compromised. So if your PC is compromised in a few months for some reason, instead of being able to recover with a reinstall of your OS, your HW is now permanently compromised and would need to be thrown out…just because AMD didn’t want to patch this.
- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 2 months ago:
Ryzen 3000 CPU are still sold as new, I even bought one six months ago, they’re no where near being classified as “old”. And this is not an only an issue for already infected systems because uninfected systems will intentionally be left vulnerable.
- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 2 months ago:
No they are just choosing not to roll out the fix to a known issue, which is screwing customers over on purpose (to increase profits). It’s not a matter of goodwill, they sold a product that then turned out to have a massive security flaw, and now they don’t want to fix even though they absolutely could.
- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 2 months ago:
They are 100% intentionally not patching old chips intentionally by not allocating resources to it. It’s a conscious choice made by the company.
- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
That’s no different than if you had central locking and a douche nearby to intercept it as you lock/unlock it. Risk of this actually happening to you is so slim, it’s not an issue in real life.

MicroUSB is absolutely one of the worst connectors ever designed, perhaps only surpassed by the SCART connector.
- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
Aah, so it actually has absolutely nothing to do with keyless access and driving like most seem to complain about.
- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
So what was the exploit then? They could get in to the car without the key?
- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
AFAIK they’re not anymore vulnerable than central locking systems
- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
Keyless start is fucking awesome though, just get in the car and drive. I wouldn’t even consider a car without after having one with it. Pretty much all other manufacturers have this in a safe way that doesn’t make the cars easier to steal. Its not the keyless start that’s the issue, its how they implemented it.

Your approach to spreading awareness is specifically why I am not looking in to it. You give off a scammy vibe, so I’m not wasting time on it. Let’s be reasonable here, if you’re not even willing to write 5-10 lines about what this is and what problem it solves, it doesn’t deserve awareness.
- Comment on What is Meshtastic? - Full Guide on How To Get Started 3 months ago:
I’ve seen a handful of these posts in the last 24h or so, IMO that is pretty excessive but that’s subjective. But for me its especially the lack of effort, coupled with high frequency, that gives it a traffic farming vibe.

I think the persistent borderline spam-posting about this, coupled with exclusively linking to your own site, is triggering a negative response from some/many people.
