- Comment on Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now 1 month ago:
i have a samsung 2.5" ssd and it actually would benefit from active cooling. when i installed my os, downloaded my steam games, and then made a copy of one (because steam insists on updating which breaks mods) and noticed that write speed was slow af…so i tested with kdiskmark and all speeds were exactly at 75mb/s while they should be at like 550. it throttled to keep temperature under 60c.
- Comment on Invidious has added an color indicator to make it easier to determine if an instance is fully working 1 month ago:
self hosting is the recommended way, but it seems difficult and i don’t have time to dive that deep

so invidious now has a red logo? jk, but I’m finding it nearly impossible to find a working instance anymore. and if i do find one, it’s gone the next day :(
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 1 month ago:
the problem with chromium is that because 98% of people use it, google gets to decide how the internet works basically

- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 1 month ago:
absolutely, all these hardened firefox forks on android are just as easy to fingerprint as the original. if you try creepjs, they are unique and easy to follow between visits. mullvad browser is also identified even if you clean identity and restart, but it at least blends in with some others. interestingly, i found out that cromite on android can fool creepjs. every time you refresh, it’s back to 1 visits. it doesn’t blend in like mullvad, but it seems like a different unique visitor every time.
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 1 month ago:
people think of browsers and operating systems here like it’s a religion or something, it makes them crazy. google is a problem, but it’s not like mozilla isn’t going to pull the same crap when it gets big enough.

- Comment on After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad 1 month ago:
the only thing I need it for is to select text vertically (by holding left alt). there are a few similar ones for linux but some crash and the rest don’t have a dark theme, so I still use it with wine.

- Comment on Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching 2 months ago:
and feels like it got better recently. when i used kernel 6.2 on my (high end) hardware, everything froze when copying a large amount of files. on 6.8 there’s just a bit of delay. still not as good as I’d like, but maybe some day.
- Comment on [Solved (gave up)] Any Android Qr app (preferably Open Source) that allows decoding via "open with" or share? 2 months ago:
if you want to scan the the qr code from your phone screen, this app can scan from an image: f-droid.org/packages/com.example.barcodescanner/
I believe you will get a code that you can paste as virtual barcode to your bank app?

- Comment on Microsoft experiments with ‘Drag Tray’ — share menu appears when dragging a file in Windows 11 2 months ago:
