DeWalt? I thought they did ladders and power tools
- Comment on HDD or SSD for a home server? 4 months ago:
I have Nextcloud running on a Pi4 and it runs like a charm. It has a lot of RAM and processing power to spare, actually. The good thing about arm mini computers is the exceptionally low power draw. You can’t achieve that with some old x86 PC.

Spelling is still a hot mess in US English, but it’s substantially better than British.

Generative AI is not deterministic. The same input doesn’t necessarily mean the same output every time.

I keep a paperclip clipped to my wallet’s coin compartment. Very handy
- Comment on Come on, science! 6 months ago:
First and foremost, priorities are set by reality.
Extending a dog’s lifespan by 60 years would be a very high demand product and could be sold for much more than what smartphones cost. If it was feasible, it would have already been done.
- Comment on Garry's Mod to remove ALL Nintendo content from the Steam Workshop due to takedown 6 months ago:
There is no profit being made by harassing some innocent modders. If anything, projects like these are free advertising for Nintendo.

20% for static panels is fine though because they are spamable. They are cheap and you can just put them on roofs and parking lots.
- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 7 months ago:
There is also Mint Debian if you want Mint. But honestly, distro doesn’t matter at all to most users. Pick any desktop environment that looks nice to you and go for it.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 7 months ago:
And whose fucking fault is that?
That would be the fault of the idiots who’d rather see the literal authoritarian mad man come to power again than vote for Biden.
The suffering in Gaza has to stop but not voting Biden will have the opposite effect.
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 8 months ago:
This is the way. Why would I hoard 5 more games just because there is a sale? The next one will come shortly. Only buy games you plan to play in the next 2 weeks.

Climate change and the loss of biodiversity is going to be catastrophic. The world is getting better by many metrics but that’s worthless if we can’t solve climate change.
- Comment on Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle” 8 months ago:
If it were for security reasons, they wouldn’t allow work devices in the WiFi at all (which is a very reasonable policy)
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years 8 months ago:
They are making an effort though. Every other manufacturer also produces in China. Fairphone at least pays the workers better and tries to make the supply chain as ethical as possible.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 8 months ago:
Honestly, stock KDE is pretty nice, i barely change a thing and feel right at home.

Yeah dead as in doesn’t receive much love from Valve
- Comment on Valve issues DMCA takedown for "Team Fortress: Source 2" 10 months ago:
I mean TF 2 is 16 years old. They just don’t really support it anymore. I can’t comprehend how it’s still in or close to the top 10 steam games by player count when it’s been dead for years.
- Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence 11 months ago:
For the same price, a Fair Phone is always going to be outdated. They can’t scale as much as the big manufacturers can and they (are trying to) avoid slave labor etc.
It’s simply not possible to be as cheap as the others who do everything to be as cheap as can be. - Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence 11 months ago:
They actually support their phones for years. You can even still get most parts of the Fairphone 2 which was released 8 years ago. New android versions are provided for a minimum of 5 years, often longer.
They also source their materials and labor as ethically as possible.
None of it is perfect of course, but considering the fucked up phone market, they’re doing an amazing job.
- Comment on I remember getting a PS3 just to avoid this back then 11 months ago:
You can use a PC for other things, I’d need a full desktop PC anyways. Also games are generally cheaper and you don’t have to pay for online play. Once you bought a game, you can very likely still play it in 10 years on a totally different machine.
That being said, there are plenty of situations where a console is the better choice: they’re cheap to buy, easy to use, generally have less software problems, they have cool suspension features etc.

They also make nice hardware, but they don’t do that out of the goodness of their hearts of course
