- Comment on Capacitive controls could be the cause of a spate of VW ID.4 crashes 2 days ago:
and why do they have to be everywhere? we have an induction stove and it has capacitive buttons for some idiotic reason. so many problems! when you boil water, little drops are always landing on the buttons. and to reduce power from min to max, you need to hold the - button for like a full minute. wiping the stove with a wet towel makes it go BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP and it won’t shut up! and finally, when my cats walk on the buttons, they always manage to turn it on. i miss knobs.

- Comment on Windows 11 is nagging users to try OneDrive to "fully backup" your PC 6 days ago:
simply timeshift backing up the system on ssd. random important stuff, tv shows etc on hdd and backup of the hdd on an external hdd. pictures and other important files also on phone storage.
- Comment on YouTube creators surprised to find Apple and others trained AI on their videos 1 week ago:
every company would destroy everything in their path and exploit everything they can to get money. AI apparently being the new goldmine, you should expect everything to be used to train AI.
- Comment on Intel denies RMA requests for its faulty 13th Gen, 14th Gen CPUs with instability issues 1 week ago:
it’s a good one. just dont’t get a gigabyte mobo. their bios is comically bad, and i found out that the same issues have continued for many generations…
- Comment on Intel denies RMA requests for its faulty 13th Gen, 14th Gen CPUs with instability issues 1 week ago:
my 9600kf was able to do 5ghz with 1.35v for the first year, and i’ve had to lower the clocks again and again as it gets unstable. it’s now only able to do 4.4ghz. recently upgraded to 7800x3d and i’m afraid to see how long this one lasts as it’s 5ghz stock and gets quite warm even in light use. performance is amazing though, realized my old cpu bottlenecked in many games.

- Comment on Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died 4 weeks ago:
i think kia ev6 is as manual as electric cars get. you can adjust the climate control with knobs, and move the seat manually!
- Comment on Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser 5 weeks ago:
i broke mine a few times, but i just did dumb stuff. using it normally should not break anything. if for example some update breaks something, you can roll back with timeshift and skip all the updates available. had to do that once when some mint update disabled all sound devices, was ok with the next updates. definitely set up timeshift!

you’re right, everything sucks now. literally everything is about stuffing ads in your face and spying on you. on top of taking your money of course.

- Comment on Popular social media apps TikTok and Instagram use AI to analyze photos on your phone, introducing both bias and errors 2 months ago:
a friend of mine once told me that it’s hard for her to keep in touch with me because i don’t use instagram. i told her i do use whatsapp and i know she uses whatsapp. she then explains how it’s easy to tell everyone what’s going on in your life by just posting it on instagram for everyone to see. there i realized we weren’t really friends, but merely just drinking buddies. made me hate ig even more than i already did.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
it doesn’t save settings, the system is loaded from some cloud every time you log in. with default settings. also every time i have to disable mouse acceleration too, which in windows is behind annoyingly many steps.

- Comment on The next Cortana: Copilot on Windows is no reason to buy a new PC 3 months ago:
i never even liked w10 and 11 seemed just horrible. when i heard about the copilot thing last summer, i decided to start getting familiar with linux so that when 10 dies, i won’t have to use 11 and the AI abomination it evolves into. i soon ditched 10 completely after seeing how much nicer mint is. for my school projects i still need windows on my laptop but after that’s over, laptop gets mint as well.

- Comment on With the creation and use of ChatGPT and Bard, I bet ELI5 community and subreddit have had less posts, because people can just ask them instead. 6 months ago:
i’m studying mechanical engineering and there’s a guy in our class who’s obsessed with chatgpt. he’s always trying to solve all of the tasks using chatgpt and he’s always the first to share the solution in zoom. so far it’s never been correct but he just sticks with it…
- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 6 months ago:
in my previous job we were allowed to install some old version of firefox through the companys own portal. but we couldn’t access internet with it because “firefox is vulnerable”. they use google suite so chrome was the default browser, but edge worked too and even IE…
