  The post is mocking a language, not the people who speak it. It may be in poor taste, but its not racist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Jamaican accent just makes me smile⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s called a creole language. An even simpler version is a pidgin language (there’s an example posted in one of the comments). Creole is usually a more evolved pidgin. Developed by children of creole speakers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would I throw it away, when I can give it to someone who needs it more, or sell it? Using it as a NAS will use up more power than just buying a mini PC and using that. I calculated the costs and the energy savings would pay for one in two years.
  I’d use an old PC as a NAS but turned it on only on demand, when it was needed. Which does hurt its convenience factor a little.
  Note: talking about desktops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Covered on steam with game bans, which can be handed by server admins
  2. Would be nice to see ngl. Whats not humanly possible should result in a game ban.
  3. Covered on steam by VAC, automated system checking for cheat signatures in user memory space
  4. Hard to do and not realistically feasible for the majority of people, screen capture with per pixel analysis tools would still work but thats not that big of an issue
  5. VAC and game bans also ban you from community features including trading your inventory, afaik you phone number and all accounts associated with it are banned

  I think it depends on screw design. GShock also have screws and they just don’t get dirty enough that you couldn’t unscrew them.
  bring back screws

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever young⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo, this test is flawed and doesn’t take display refresh rate into account. Well, at least flawed in the sense that you can’t compare it to other people because they may have measured it differently on different hardware. Its not universal.
  I’m at work right now and using this shitty screen at 60hz, I got 230ms. I upped the refresh rate as fast as it can go, to 75hz and improved my reaction time to 200ms.
  To get accurate results, you’d need to do this test at different stages of your life on the same hardware with the same software version of the test. So take it with some salt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, price killed PS3 and with Windows, OEM’s eat the cost anyway. If its cheap, people will buy it. MS isn’t making things harder for developers, they aren’t increasing the price of windows, they offer support to orgs, they offer a whole suite of software for them too, they aren’t going anywhere. They’ll lose out some of the consumer market, but thats not where they get their money from anyway.

  Isn’t quest 3 sold at a loss? Selling similar hardware at no loss will present a challenge.
  Though, at the same time, there’s not much wrong with making low quantities of something and selling them at a profit, slowly.

  Price will make or break this thing. Rumors going around its gonna be around 1k which is a tall ask for the listed specs. 500, I’d buy it without any promise of any Valve backed VR game and I’m not even big on VR. For the rumored price, I’d need to see more commitment from Valve and latest news right now are saying they aren’t developing a VR title.

  I dont see it. Mario is a forever brand that is handled well. Sonic is a forever brand that is handled a little less well, but its hanging on. Ubisoft had a forever brand, possibility with rayman, but handled it like shit. Forever brand is a mascot and something that associates with the company. AC is an open world action game with little relatability between each title.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite memory of the 3ds is probably from playing a link to the past. My worst memory was selling all the games I had for it… no idea why I did it considering the prices for them are insane now. Should have just kept them…
  I still own the XL version and am not letting it go. Still play fron tine to time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Big Short' Michael Burry bets $1bn on AI bubble bursting | LBC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Less risky: sell stock you hold in nvidia or other AI heavy companies. Invest in non AI.
  Risk to the max: short nvidia stock. Each month they don’t crash, your wallet hurts.

  Just know that Burry is more confident in Palantir crashing than Nvidia (considering how much he’s shoring each).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The green tick may give the impression that the game runs just as well on Windows. In reality, there have been issues with CS2 on linux recently. Even though its officially supported, It may look like Valve doesn’t have good enough testing to actually ensure that. I tried it on Fedora KDE with wayland and nvidia and it crashed after one match (if not in the middle of it). Similar issues have been reported on the issue reporting repo. It may be an Nvidia+Wayland issue again (like there have been so many times before).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, Linux is great. I love it. I run a lot of things on it. But it can be a frustrating experience. Simply put, its not a one to one replacement and it will simply not fit into some peoples lives like windows has up to this point.

  My personal experience with linux desktops (some arch flavors and fedora) combined with Wayland and an Nvidia card have been pretty abysmal.
  On prior Fedora’s and Endeavor, I had Firefox crashing constantly, no clue why. Crashes reduced this week with the release of Fedora 43 but its still not stable. This is something I’ve not experienced under windows ever since they rewrote firefox like… 10 years ago now?
  With KDE plasma, its system apps like settings crash. I’ve not had to restart my PC with the physical restart button under windows for quite a while now. But when using KDE, the whole thing freezes and will just not respond.
  I’ve tried playing some CS2 literally today and couldn’t make it through a match without a crash.
  Vendor software for hardware devices (drivers) is missing linux support a lot of the time and while I appreciate open source alternatives, they just don’t cover the edge cases I had. As an example: razer rbg lighting effects stacking is non existent on linux. Open RBG works… but its not good enough.

  I’m sooo ready to use KDE Plasma on a daily basis and really want to, but the stability I want is just not there yet. If you have simple use cases, don’t stray too far onto the edge, possibly have older hardware and don’t need Wayland or don’t use Nvidia, I’d definitely recommend it. I use Mint on my 14 year old laptop just fine, but its got an old ass nvidia card, uses x11 with cinnamon and I don’t game on it. Stable as a rock. I use Debian on my home server and it hasn’t crashed with a 3 year uptime.
  Desktop linux on a gaming machine… I’ve just been disappointed.

  Sorry for the dump. I’m voicing my frustration out of love for linux, not out of hate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, data archival. Now imagine this future: right now, encrypted data transfers may be wire-tapped and stored. When quantum computers are available, all that traffic will be decryptable. This includes pretty much all general HTTPS traffic since TLS mostly uses ECDHE for key exchange which isn’t quantum secure.
  I bet nation state actors are recording everything they can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Used to run on a pi 4 but moved to a 11th Gen NUC and wouldn’t go back. Well, the pi was nice when I didn’t have any money but the performance boost of just an i3 is enough to not use a pi for it anymore. With headless debian 13, the nuc now draws 5w idle. Seriously low consumption, costs like 10eur in electric energy per year. Pi 4 still found a home for homeassistant +zigbee stack.
