This argument again?
- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 18 hours ago:
I own my own domain and back up my emails. It would be a pain and cost a few $ but I’d migrate to something else or self host.
- Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds 2 weeks ago:
Are spelling and punctuation expected to be accurate?
- Comment on Why do we all have mayonnaise in our fridges instead of béarnaise sauce? 2 weeks ago:
Because I can take a jar of mayo that’s 1 year old out of the underground shelter and eat it by the handful.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 2 weeks ago:
Resistive heating elements are inefficient compared to heat pumps, and usually cost more to run than gas.
If it’s an old a/c system you may want to upgrade it to a heat pump. In many cases you can keep the air handler and resistive heat and only replace the outdoor unit and indoor coil.
- Comment on AI-powered weapons scanners used in NYC subway found zero guns in one month test 3 weeks ago:
I saw a dude jogging up the stairs and his gun fell out of his hoody sweats. He looked at it for a second and the picked it up and put it on his hoody like it was his phone.
5/7 best subway exit ever.
- Comment on New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers 3 weeks ago:
Possible windows fix here?
- Comment on What websites still feel like the old internet? 4 weeks ago:
My healthcare services websites. Their website and mobile app require separate logins. The website logs in then redirects to a completely different website.
They have a tax-free “store” that feels like a completely different website.
Everything is laid out using what seems like the idea of middle management and not modern design philosophy.
- Comment on Increasing the efficiency of (some) refrigerators with insulating foam, potentially cutting yearly energy use in half 5 weeks ago:
Of course you would need a fridge with exposed coils and a way to route the heat away. I’d look for one that’s designed to be built-in and does the air exchange at the front/bottom.
I have a counter-height wine fridge designed like this.
- Comment on Increasing the efficiency of (some) refrigerators with insulating foam, potentially cutting yearly energy use in half 5 weeks ago:
I’m thinking more like build a cabinet/walls around. If done right it would look built-in.
- Comment on Increasing the efficiency of (some) refrigerators with insulating foam, potentially cutting yearly energy use in half 5 weeks ago:
You could probably build a nice looking enclosure for a fridge and would look better than foam
- Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 1 month ago:
You mean like Adventure Time?
- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 1 month ago:
Idk about intuit but GM is probably a result of their union coworkers getting awesome Bennie’s.
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 1 month ago:
You can stop time by looking at a clock hand briefly. It’s your brain filling in blanks.
- Comment on Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home 1 month ago:
At a lower level your IT dept logs the IP address you’re accessing m365 resources from.
- Comment on Couple tried to sell baby for a 6-pack of beer and $1,000 at campground, police say 1 month ago:
That’s a pretty good deal.
- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 1 month ago:
I think it’s the cutoff. My Bronco LEDs don’t seem to bother people.
My stock Toyota 86 LEDs had an extreme cutoff between the area it lit up and where it didn’t. Even though it was lower to the ground and had a shorter throw, people would flash me all the time.
- Comment on [rant] I want computers to become personal again 1 month ago:
Gotta find it, install it, update it occasionally etc. cloud services don’t need that.
- Comment on [rant] I want computers to become personal again 1 month ago:
Counter-point: why would want to own and maintain something like a computer? I want a simple device that take no thought and can be replaced with zero effort.
- Comment on The iPhone 16, new AirPods and other highlights from Apple's product showcase 2 months ago:
Understated. I’m so happy my upgrade from a 10 to a 15 (I think it’s a 15?) was boring. I don’t need to learn a lot of nee ways to use my smartphone, I just need to replace it and get back to my life.

Do you want red chili sauce or green chili sauce on those chips?
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
Add a wireless AP to your pc and create an adhoc wifi network for your vr to connect to your pc directly.
- Comment on School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety. 2 months ago:
Camera/mic access seems like overreach. PII should be obfuscated and only accessible with an audited workflow that includes an access review.
Modern off the shelf MDM is capable of this.
- Comment on AT&T sues Broadcom for refusing to renew perpetual license support 2 months ago:
Whoa battle of the mega corps
- Comment on What is so impressive about electronics of the F35? 2 months ago:
Quarterback. It’s a US football position that coordinates a teams players on the field.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Authentication between instances is not federated.
Posted content is “sync’d” between instances.
Apps log into the instance using your creds on that instance to access the content that’s syncs to that instance.
- Comment on When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work? 2 months ago:
I think ford and gm have turnkey crate motors and I suspect the vehicles have the same systems. Might be fun problem to solve.
- Comment on If Russia takes out all the Internet cables like the news is saying. How much of that traffic can be re-routed to satellite? 2 months ago:
Not across oceans though. Earth is curved.
