That so ridiculous it’s funny as hell.

With the right attitude, any robot’s a sexbot.
…and my robot vacuum’s looking mighty fine right now.

- Comment on Would nuclear reactors be feasible everywhere? 1 year ago:
They’re not economically feasible anywhere right now. Unfortunately nuclear power is very expensive compared to all the alternatives. Unless there’s some radical breakthrough I can’t see much nuclear being built in the future. No company would pay such a huge up-front cost to produce uneconomic electricity.
So the strict answer is - no, they’re not feasible everywhere. And also not feasible pretty much anywhere.
- Comment on The Peasant Life 1 year ago:
It’s from a famous paper.
- Comment on Apple slides from 2013 skewer Android as “a massive tracking device” 1 year ago:
Hilariously non self aware.
- Comment on Apple to face £853 million UK 'batterygate' lawsuit 1 year ago:
Remember the Samsung battery issues being all over the news a few years ago and everyone saying, “Apple never has these problems”? Meanwhile Apple was literally paying people off to keep quiet about their battery fires. Nice. 🔥
- Comment on John Howard says he ‘always had trouble’ with the concept of multiculturalism 1 year ago:
Strange… that sounds like the kind of thing a racist would say.
- Comment on Foiled yet again 1 year ago:
The worst thing about this is that the English teacher is wrong too - common usage dictates that this is a perfectly acceptable form of request.
- Comment on Solar power expected to dominate electricity generation by 2050—even without more ambitious climate policies 1 year ago:
USB is the new defacto standard DC outlet. It’s only suitable for fairly low power though.
- Comment on How do poor people in the states give birth without money? 1 year ago:
Wow. That’s horrible. The US health system sounds like a dystopian nightmare.
- Comment on Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market 1 year ago:
there’s basically nothing out there for laptops that comes close to the M2 Pro
The Intel Core i9-13980HX laptop CPU is between 20% and 100% faster than the M2 Max on nearly every benchmark.
- Comment on Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market 1 year ago:
Basically few to non-existent cases where M2 is faster than either Intel or AMD’s best. On power consumption however it’s a total win for Apple. But performance… No. Not in any way.
- Comment on iPhones have been exposing your unique MAC despite Apple’s promises otherwise — “From the get-go, this feature was useless,” researcher says of feature put into iOS 14 1 year ago:
Compared to Apple?
- Comment on 41 states sue Meta, claiming Instagram, Facebook are addictive, harm kids 1 year ago:
I don’t think 41 states realise that kids wouldn’t touch Facebook if you forced them. Instagram on the other hand…
- Comment on Sam Bankman-Fried’s legal peril deepens as his defense comes up short 1 year ago:
I think he feels sorry for himself but remember: he absolutely knew he was illegally misusing customer funds. And he openly talked about it in meetings with other businesses as if it was normal and fine.
So I don’t feel sorry for him. He’s an idiot who was given enough rope and he’s certainly hung himself.
- Comment on Intel’s new 14th Gen CPUs arrive on October 17th with up to 6GHz out of the box 1 year ago:
Tell me the base clock, not the “up to… when powered by a fusion reactor” value.
- Comment on Among Us’ first new map in over two years brings beaches, mushrooms and toasty marshmallows 1 year ago:
Can we talk about Rock Paper Shotgun’s horrible dark pattern with cookies? It took me a couple of minutes to work out how to reject all cookies, and even then I’m not sure I did it correctly.
