- Comment on Why do I need to update my graphics drivers? 3 months ago:
Congratulations, maybe you're already using my trick then. Not sure what your comment was meant to add.
From Windows 10 on, the default is to automatically restart when you're not using it, which can be annoying if you've got a complex workspace going and then everything gets closed overnight
- Comment on Why do I need to update my graphics drivers? 3 months ago:
You can pause Windows update for a little over a month at a time so that you're not surprised by any automatic restarts, FYI

But she announced when, so everyone shit in the river in the lead up apparently.
There's no spite like French spite 😂

I hope you're having your head checked!
- Comment on What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care? 3 months ago:
There isn't really anything "extra" you can do at home that you aren't already supposed to be doing to maintain those mouth bones.
- Comment on What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care? 3 months ago:
Shop around, you can frequently get discounts or cheaper rates if you tell them you're uninsured / self pay. I've had to do this during tough financial times.
There may also be some luxuries or other corners you can safely cut if you go over your budget with a fine toothed comb.

Disclaimer: This is not personal medical/dental advice, just my own understanding that I'm sharing.
Floss (or water pick) first, then mouthwash, then brush, then don't rinse.
Floss to open up the gums and knock loose anything stuck in between teeth.
Mouthwash to get rid of the solids and get a bit of fluoride in between teeth.
Brushing after mouthwash, because toothpaste typically has a much higher concentration of fluroide than mouthwash does.
And avoid rinsing after brushing so you don't wash away the residual fluoride from the toothpaste. - Comment on Twitter 3 months ago:
The only thing I added was the first parenthetical to clarify that "dead name" was the term for the former name.
Reading "the former name of a (typically trans) person" as "the name of a deceased trans person" is still on you :/
- Comment on Cars Are Now Rolling Computers Now. So What Happens When They Stop Getting Updates? 3 months ago:
My hunch is that "average ownership lifetime" for mobile phones is MUCH lower than you or I (or anyone who is careful with their phone) probably expects. There is probably a too-big segment of the market that is trading in yearly for a newer model.

I did not edit my comment. Why are you lying?

Intentionally using the former name ("dead name") of a (typically trans) person with the intent to cause harm

- Comment on Warframe Staff Reveals Intel's 14th & 13th Gen CPUs Responsible For Instability Issues, i9-13900K Takes Up A Major Portion 4 months ago:
the stock turbo power limits [...] are 253W, not the 4,000+ my MB's Bios settings default to.
The comma makes me think you didn't add an extra zero by mistake... What in the actual fuck? I admittedly haven't messed with any CPU clocks since like 2014, but an increase of nearly 16x over stock feels like absolutely bonkers nonsense. Like that just seems so out of spec that your computer should just catch fire. Like the hardware shouldn't even allow it.

definitely didn't read this as stroke-on-tent and assume they were up to something less wholesome

- Comment on Ayo wtf my muhfuggin BATH suppose to taste like 4 months ago:
Yeah, it's correct. "add x to taste" has always been shorthand for "add x to suit your personal tastes"
- Comment on The interior of your house is hot, the exterior cool. What would the most efficient orientation be for a box fan? Pushing hot air out of a window or pulling cool air in through it? 4 months ago:
do you happen to know whether this is significantly different for a blower-style fan that has its air intake on one side? for example

My apologies for preaching to the choir. (And I didn't notice your username when I wrote that, LOL. Happy accident.)
- Comment on Pleasant Politics: Politics without the jerks 4 months ago:
Use clip art of some debate podiums or something?
- Comment on Why is it impossible to reverse-engineer closed source software? 4 months ago:
You might actually consider dipping your toes into trying to learn how to analyze/reverse those yourself. Relatively speaking, software that old can sometimes be easier to reverse.
- Comment on Notepad’s spellcheck and autocorrect are rolling out to everybody after 41 years 4 months ago:
I already migrated the Win7 calc.exe because I don't like how poorly the Win10 one handles keyboard input, thanks for letting me know I need to make sure to save it for when Win11 becomes inevitable, too.

... ads in calc.exe? what the actual fuck

Phone or not, I don't think Microsoft has the ability to listen to their users anymore at all
- Comment on Pleasant Politics: Politics without the jerks 4 months ago:
I think any experiment that could potentially filter out bad faith participants is at least worth a try. I participate in political discussions pretty infrequently, but when reading them I often see users jumping in with a ridiculous viewpoint that they are completely unwilling to discuss or hear any flaws about. That's not conversation, that's trying to shout others down, and I will be interested to see if that kind of behavior gets caught by your bot.

From the gloss, I think it's actually a cookie tin or something in the shape of the Nintendo "racetrack" logo.

very obviously yes. Twice as many bullet points as a human would put in a summary, passive voice, and "the author xxx" are all telltale signs

You don't need to quote things when you are the one thinking them.

You should get your oxygen saturation checked, pretty sure you're slowly suffocating your brain cells passively by existing
