- Comment on DisplayPort 2.1b Arriving This Spring With DP80LL Cables 3 weeks ago:
Every device that has a DisplayPort also has hdmi. Not every device that has hdmi also has a DisplayPort.
DisplayPort did not win even though I agree it’s better.
- Comment on DisplayPort 2.1b Arriving This Spring With DP80LL Cables 3 weeks ago:
DisplayPort is the better product but has lost out to HDMI. I’d be fine if it was discontinued.

- Comment on D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week 2 months ago:

This argument again?
- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 2 months 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.

Are spelling and punctuation expected to be accurate?
- Comment on Why do we all have mayonnaise in our fridges instead of béarnaise sauce? 2 months 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 months 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.

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 2 months ago:
Possible windows fix here?
- Comment on What websites still feel like the old internet? 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago:
You could probably build a nice looking enclosure for a fridge and would look better than foam

- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 4 months 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 4 months 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 4 months 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.
