Hearing that is so refreshing. Microsoft/Google would never put something like that on their website because you are the product.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 hours ago:
Exactly, but I don’t see anything keeping them from selling the Frame at a loss or tight margin. What else are you going to use that with but Steam games?
Even the Steam Controller is useless without Steam Input, but I’d argue it won’t necessarily sell more games. Maybe they could include it with the Steam Machine for “free” to bump the price of the machine up enough to not make sense for a company, but still sell it at a tight margin to sell more games.

What in the AI generated bullshit spam are your posts? You’ve made like 5 to this community in the past day. Stop it.

My weekend project list was longer than my arm before I got into self hosting.

This does a great job of not answering the question I guess. I obviously am aware that I can write them myself, but I don’t want to. I like automating things.

It is starting to sound like it’d have to be haha
- Comment on FOSS Hashtag Generator 6 days ago:
Yeah, GPT or whatever can do it, but I don’t want to invest in the hardware to run my own models for generative AI.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but self hosting opens up so much more flexibility, much like cloud hosted services we’re used to. Jellyfin is like a personal Netflix where you can watch your movies on any device at any time. The convenience is obvious. For mose cloud hosted services, there’s an alternative that can be self hosted.

I miss street pass so hard. I loved playing those little mini games.
- Comment on How to keep adding on 1 week ago:
I’m planning to build another NAS, then pool both NASs together to make one big NAS, as I already simply use mergerfs and snapraid. That probably won’t happen for a bit longer. I’m currently at 78TB with a max capacity of 256TB.

Or functional on Linux… Which makes me wonder… Is there a way to play GTA online on Linux through unofficial means?
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
Wow, interesting stuff. Huge thanks for the tip off about CoMaps.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
It happens for me when I’m offline and the stupid Google Maps downloads didn’t work. I don’t even bother with downloading Google Maps any more, I just use CoMaps instead.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
I’ll check it out. Any links to articles on the shady behavior?
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
Organic Maps is so fucking good, I keep so much of it downloaded as a backup for when I’m offline, because it just works. That said, I still use Google maps due to the reviews of businesses and traffic data when navigating normally, but it’s good to know a great alternative is out there.
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 2 weeks ago:
The issue isn’t that the fridge has a screen. The issue is that the screen real-estate is owned by the manufacturer, not you.
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 2 weeks ago:
There’s a version of every device that doesn’t phone home. I switched to HomeAssistant a couple years ago now, and I think all of my stuff is finally local as of a few months ago, including my robot vacuum.
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 2 weeks ago:
You can have the best of both worlds. There’s a lot of smart home stuff that isn’t owned by a corporation. For vacuums, Valetudo is amazing and fun to set up, if not a little nerve wracking risking bricking your expensive appliance.
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 2 weeks ago:
I actually only go for the 400Mbps plan, and it’s 40Mbps up across all of their plans. I believe it’s some outdated hardware limitation of cable or something, at least that’s what I’ve heard.
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 2 weeks ago:
I’m so tired of my 40Mbps upload speeds. Why can I get 1.2Tbps down, but only 40Mbps up? It’s crazy.

This has to be ragebait.
- Comment on Google Messages is rethinking how link previews work, but we're not sure it's for the best 3 weeks ago:
Probably not. It’s the same issue as Windows File Explorer not showing extensions by default. Asinine.
- Comment on Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug 3 weeks ago:
I mean, not really. You can apply for copyright on your content that has been posted to YouTube. If you don’t like how YouTube is distributing your content, applying AI filters to it or whatever, you can take it down. If you want to upload your content somewhere else, you can. You own your content, YouTube just distributes it how they see fit.
- Comment on Apple quietly released this year's BEST laptop 3 weeks ago:
This guy, Jake, used to work at LTT/LMG, and has recently started his own channel. I do hope he finds a new groove, as I found him much more entertaining and likable while at LTT. He seems to have adopted a “YouTuber” way of talking - overexaggerating things, and being often overly impressed. He almost seems like a different person on his own channel, and it feels unnatural to me, as someone who enjoyed seeing him in LTT content, where his personality seemed much more muted and natural. Even seeing him on Zip Tie Tuning (a couple of other former LMG people’s new channel), he seemed to act more natural.
I also was super not aware how much he was into Apple products, which is weird for a tech enthusiast.

I’m not sure what this post has to do with memory, they’re asking about storage.
