- Comment on PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
We all know, they were found and partially excavated in 2014 for a documentary
- Comment on If malls continue to shut down and decay over the next twenty years, someone should turn them into retirement communities for GenX and Millennials. 3 months ago:
The joke was obvious, and you even doubled down by suggesting people intentionally go to Bentonville. I appreciated it

Thanks, that was really necessary and greatly added to the conversation.

I’d be really impressed if anyone still gamed on ATI.
I’m not that guy but yes and Nvidia
- Comment on Lemmy is a failed Reddit alternative 4 months ago:
I was on reddit slightly before subreddits were added as functionality, so 16ish years, and lemmy to me just feels like that 2008ish reddit except most of the userbase is 40 instead of 18
- Comment on Innovation or Overreach? UH Research Casts blame on OceanGate's Submersible Design says: Low quality carbon fibre lead to the accident 6 months ago:
I mean, using a controller in and off itself is not suspect, but the model they used is the cheapest one you can get with a recognizable name and is known for being unreliable, which is absolutely a suspect decision to make when it’s the only method of control
- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 6 months ago:
Not actually! I mean, yes, you’d need another device, but your router itself can be the VPN host if it’s the right model. The VPN server software is extremely lightweight, so most higher end routers just include it as an option in management, but you can get away with a cheap router and something like a cheap raspberry pi/clone, which would also give you something to put pihole on

I’ve got a VPN set up on my home server so when I leave the house, my public IP is still the same on my laptop as it is at home. If you’ve got people sending you messages directly via IP why wouldn’t you just set that up?
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
My main monitor is a 27 inch so the task bar is only like 23 inches, but the amount of stuff I have open at any given time has my taskbar 2/3 of the way across my screen. That said, I’ve had mine at the top of the screen ever since my iMac G3 and Windows 11 doesn’t allow that either
- Comment on What anime do you like but are afraid/ashamed to admit it? 6 months ago:
Brotherhood skipped a lot of stuff that was in FMA03 on the assumption that anyone watching Brotherhood at release would have also seen 03 and would know the divergence point, which does weaken Brotherhood to an extent as time passes and more people watch it without 03.
While I feel Brotherhood had a better ending, I still really like the ending of 03. The writers had to basically guess an ending based on an incomplete manga? And they went for a really personal, small stakes ending that lined up with the clues given and I think they did a really good job. Mangahood ended with a giant nationwide crisis and the intensity of the stakes at that point made it clear the home team would succeed. FMA03’s final conflict was so personal that you could believe the bad ending was a possibility, and in some minor ways I appreciate it
- Comment on Roku OS home screen is getting video ads for the first time 6 months ago:
How does Stremio sustain it’s development operations?
We run non-intrusive ads occassionally, but we’re considering moving to a donation model.
- Comment on Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available 6 months ago:
For recipe tracking and “what to buy” I’ve actually had good success with grocy.info
Has really cut down on buying things to use only to get home and find out I already had half of it and forgot
- Comment on Google Ramps Up Crackdown on YouTube Ad-Blocking, Targets Third-Party Apps 7 months ago:
YouTube Red content can only be seen with Premium, but not only does Premium not have new exclusive content, Premium features don’t work with member videos if you’re paying for channel membership
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 quietly took off while everyone was looking at AI 10 months ago:
They don’t specify how near zero “near-zero” is, but I use an Oculus Quest 2 and VR Desktop and the latency is 4-8ms, which is 0.5-1 frame at 120fps. I know Air Link is bad, but that seems more down to their software than anything else so a higher tech router isn’t going to do much
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 quietly took off while everyone was looking at AI 10 months ago:
Could you elaborate on this? I think you mean wireless PCVR over wifi, but that’s achievable lag free on wifi 5
- Comment on What Amazon Kindle? Here's an Open Source eBook Reader 11 months ago:
To add more context to this, this literally happened yesterday, but I bought a Kobo Touch (the N905 from 2011) new in box with a receipt from every it was purchased a week after launch in July 2011. I took it out of the box, plugged it into my computer to charge, and once it had some juice I followed the onscreen setup and it just works. It was discontinued 8 years ago but the links and setup instructions are still active and functioning. It doesn’t really feel any cheaper than my Paperwhite from 2017, and it reads epubs natively unlike the Paperwhite, so should be just fine for my daughter
