Could someone link the article so I could understand it rather than read an opinion of an opinion?
Nyt gave me this before asking for a login:
“Our business today is not healthy,” Sharma declared in a July letter to Xbox employees.
Sharma, formerly the president of product within Microsoft’s CoreAI division and a chief operating officer at Instacart, made her first 100 days at Xbox a high-stakes campaign to win over hearts and minds.
The most expensive tier of Game Pass, a subscription service with hundreds of new and old games? Discounted. Console mascots on competing platforms? Throttled. The clumsy integration of artificial intelligence? Nixed.”
- Comment on "Ultimately, we asked 'why are we doing this?'": the creators of Arc Raiders wildly underestimated how hard it is to make a live service game 2 days ago:
I was arguing this 20 years ago when people were complaining about Kotor2. Kotor2 didn’t need more content. It needed to fix what was already there. Or even remove more so that the existing story could be completed instead of being cut off.
Instead most were saying Kotor2 would have been better if only it had the few more planets that were cut for time constraints.
The publishers learned that consumers want more content in a game even if it’s buggy and bad.
- Comment on DC UPS for router? 1 week ago:
I did that and it works well. The only problem is that when the battery goes to 0 on a long outage, the UPS can’t recharge it. I had to pull the battery, charge it with a lifepo4 charger, then reinstall.
Short outages are fine.

If you are using a buck converter you might as well use a ups. They’re both going to be ~ 95%.

Yeah a piece of wood the same thickness as the shelf on a hinge attached to the frame could swing out and support the shelf. When folded in it would be the same thickness as the shelf folded up.

I don’t understand the purpose of the exposed daisy chained cables. If it is not meant to be frequently unplugged, then why not wire an internal bus of 14 awg with Wago?

- Comment on Expanding my laptops HDD capacity 4 weeks ago:
That’s one nudge away from a disaster. I’d 3d print a shroud for the sata ports/connectors that uses the laptop base screws to hold it in place. That way the laptop could slide off the drive cage without every sata port snapping off.

Afghanistan 2002:
“During the night of April 17, 2002, an F-16 flown by the U.S. Air National Guard dropped a 500-pound bomb on a squad of Canadian soldiers near Kandahar, Afghanistan. The explosion killed four Canadian infantrymen and wounded eight others. The pilot of the plane, Maj. Harry Schmidt of the Illinois National Guard, claimed he believed the ground forces were attacking his commander and he had to act.
When the board of inquiry asked why Maj. Schmidt had engaged the target rather than pull away to safety, his defense was simple: He was high on drugs the Air Force gave him.”
- Comment on what printers do youlike? 4 weeks ago:
I have an Anycubic S1 and a Snapmaker U1. I really like the U1. 4 completely independent tool heads is huge not just for multicolor but for functional prints where you need to mix materials like TPU and have reliable removeable supports (by using PETG for supports which sticks to nothing but the build plate.)

General purpose tip for Gluing:
Isopropyl Alchohol in a spray mister will speed up Superglue bond time from minutes to seconds.
Mixing glues can be very useful. For example, I’ll use Epoxy for the hollow insides but a drop of Superglue where pieces fit together to hold the pieces together while the Epoxy cures overnight. UV glue is fantastic for that because it cures instantly. But a drop of Superglue with a spritz of alcohol works good too.
- Comment on Any tips on plastic adhesives? Trying to repair headphones 1 month ago:
The problem with uv glue is it needs light to cure. So it can’t be used to fill that broken area or inside the break itself. It can only coat the outside.

It would have only been bad for Russia in the long term. Germany, even if it was doing better, would have still been happy to have a neutral Russia so it didn’t need a two front war.

Many don’t realize the revolution happened and a democratic government was formed. Later Lenin led a second revolution to overthrow the democratic government.

- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 1 month ago:
I quoted Plex documentation where it explains in detail that you need port 32400 OPEN for remote access. support.plex.tv/…/200289506-remote-access/
I linked the CVE but here is the plain language version because you didn’t read what I linked:
howtogeek.com/over-300k-plex-servers-are-still-vu…
"The flaw has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0, the highest possible level of severity. This score indicates that the vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the internet, is easy to execute, and requires no authentication or interaction from the server’s owner. A successful attack could result in a total loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. An attacker could access, modify, or delete a user’s private media files, or even disable the entire Plex server. "
What the fuck is wrong with you?
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
The reason to run the reverse proxy with Jellyfin is for the encryption. It’s written in the documentation that way. It’s why I still run Plex. I never finished getting through their steps to get the reverse proxy setup for the encryption.
It’s like I said you use a car to go to work and you reply AKSUALLY a car runs on TIRES. The OP didn’t say CAR.
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
You obviously don’t use Plex to claim it doesn’t need an open port for remote access:
…plex.tv/…/201543147-what-network-ports-do-i-need…
I already posted a CVE that allowed hackers access to a Plex server running at home.
- Comment on Back with an update on my previous posts 2 months ago:
Sepi both didn’t read what you wrote and is stuck 10 years ago like a hobbiest who is still using their own 1977 Altair when everyone else is in 1987 posting about their Macintoshes and 286 PC’s.
But don’t insult.
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
He said an encrypted tunnel does nothing. I don’t even run Jellyfin but that statement is false.
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
Which Plex does by default. He doesn’t understand that running Plex at home doesn’t open itself up to the Internet. I specifically referenced a CVE that let hackers into your home if you ran Plex.
His claim that securing Jellyfin with an encrypted tunnel does nothing is false.
- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 months ago:
Jellyfin doesn’t open up your network unless you specifically allow remote access exactly like Plex. The only difference is Jellyfin doesn’t have the encrypted tunnel built in- you need to know it needs it and add it yourself.
Plex has had bugs that allowed remote access into your home’s Plex server. nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-34158
- Comment on Back with an update on my previous posts 2 months ago:
The K1 is marketed as a competitor to the Bambu P1s, CC, Anycubic S1 etc. It should work without tinkering. Unless you are building your own Voron, modern printers reliably work out of the box. It’s not 10 years ago when 3d printing was like home cnc machining.
