Checkmate, consumer.
- Comment on Router recommendations? (under 100CAD) 8 months ago:
Check out gear by GL.iNet. They’re pretty cheap, albeit low specced, but they come with OpenWRT flavor preinstalled. They’re an unbelievable value proposition and I’ve been running mine with no noticeable issues since September. For you I would look at something like their GL-AX1800. Poke around on their store, but that AX1800 is just shy of $100 in the US.
- Comment on Is TV Dead? Global TV Shipments Hit a Decade Low in 2023 8 months ago:
We have also seen the budget range improve in quality and affordability. There will always be cheap junk TVs and overly expensive TVs, but that midrange, where most people buy, has become rock solid. There just isn’t much region to upgrade at the moment.
- Comment on Americans are asleep, post European windows 9 months ago:
People act like you can’t just order these kinds of windows in the US. It’s not the default, but you can just ask about them if you know about them.

Pretty sure. He’s been rocking the longer hair for a little while now.

The remaster game out a couple years ago and metacritic’ed for 80. So no, I don’t think I really needed to “temper my expectations”. www.metacritic.com/game/alan-wake-remastered/

What were you expecting?
Something good given the insanely good reviews the original and the remake got. I’m just saying I disagreed and didn’t enjoy the game. What’s your end goal with this comment? Are you agreeing with me? Are you calling me dumb? Are you okay?
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 10 months ago:
Just finished the Alan Wake Remaster. Really hated it, but apparently that is an unpopular opinion. I just felt like the story is not as innovative as people say and the mechanics are the same from the start to the finish.
I’m not playing Dredge. Really enjoying that game right now. I’m traveling so my Steam Deck is getting some use. I’ll be switching between Dredge and Cult of the Lamb while I’m away.
- Comment on Google has agreed to pay $700 million in an antitrust settlement with U.S. states and consumers 11 months ago:
Google will expand billing options for in-app purchases and simplify direct app downloads from developers.
Sounds like a win actually. Nice.

According to his biographer, he’s wildly bipolar.
- Comment on FFmpeg Lands CLI Multi-Threading As Its "Most Complex Refactoring" In Decades 11 months ago:
Maybe this?
Every instance of every such component was already running in a separate thread, but now they can actually run in parallel.
- Comment on Meta’s new AI image generator was trained on 1.1 billion Instagram and Facebook photos 11 months ago:
Exactly. Instagram doesn’t claim ownership to any of your content, but Instagram’s terms of use state that the user grants Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid, and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use their content. Additionally, they can make money off your content without ever paying you a cut. Honestly, it’s pretty boiler plate at this point. No one should expect anything else from corporations. It’s just business.
- Comment on Arch and other Linux operating systems Beat Windows 11 in Gaming Benchmarks 11 months ago:
For sure, I’m just giving them a hard time with semantics haha

Three gaming-focused Linux operating systems beat Windows 11 in gaming benchmarks
Arch is a gaming-focused Linux OS now lmao
- Comment on YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button 11 months ago:
I would pay for YouTube Premium, like I had been when I was a student ($7.99/month), but I’m not a student anymore and they want $19 a month. Fuck no.
- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 11 months ago:
And they specifically want to see the picture of you on the back.
- Comment on It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox 11 months ago:
Back when it was only really known for Search.
- Comment on It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox 11 months ago:
Totally agree. I also knew this was Google’s modus operandi. The early versions of their software can be amazing and they slowly monetize over time.
- Comment on It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox 11 months ago:
Definitely possible. Here is a tutorial I’ve been using: superuser.com/a/7374

Yup! They have what they call sync. Works the same I believe: www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/sync/
- Comment on Mullvad's public encrypted DNS Servers run in RAM now 1 year ago:
What happened is what is subtracted from was divided by what could have been. If you know the integral of what could have bin then you can obtain the euclidean distance to what is and then you know what happened.
