- Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display 1 day ago:
Would upgrading to an aftermarket display system be capable of avoiding this?
- Comment on [Episode] DAN DA DAN Season 2 • Dandadan 2nd Season - Episode 6 discussion 1 day ago:
I was getting extremely strong X Japan Kurenai vibes from HAYASii to the point that you can actually play both tracks side by side and they almost line up. So good!
- Comment on What to watch next after ST: Voyager? 2 days ago:
I wouldn’t sleep on Enterprise. Sure it starts off a bit lousy, but by the end you’ll be upset that it was cancelled.
- Comment on Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue. 2 days ago:
Since when did the word “statue” now also mean “award”?
- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 2 days ago:
When stores started marking up the “regular” price to hit bigger percentages is about when I started price tracking things I knew I’d buy later down the road. Looking at you, Best Buy!
- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 2 days ago:
I periodically keep tabs on new HDD prices in my area. Black Friday hasn’t had the same deep discounts it once did.

Now about that broken ankle
- Comment on Best New Anime to Watch (Summer Season 2025) - IGN 2 weeks ago:
I think you’re confusing “new” with “original”. I think we can agree that new episodes = new anime.
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 4 weeks ago:
This one seems different in that the barrier for entry is pretty high, plus the actual finished mod is not intended to be played very heavily.
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 4 weeks ago:
Per their project page in 2024 they were taking orders to create the shells. Maybe there’s a loophole that exists where the housing is exempt because the internals are DIY.
In any case, money was involved.
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 4 weeks ago:
I just can’t believe that the retro community has not latched onto some trademark moniker at this point to avoid any kind of legal trouble. Tendo? NTDO? I dunno, anything! lol
- Comment on Nintendo Wii The Size Of A Game Boy Cartridge Finally Released Open Source 4 weeks ago:
Printing “Nintendo” on the device has got to be a bad idea, right?
- Comment on AI Utopia, AI Apocalypse, and AI Reality: If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us. 4 weeks ago:
At the very least it’ll help with your spelling and grammar.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 1 month ago:
Depends on the complexity of the route. When I visit my parents in another city (5-6 hour drive) I write down the intersections/exit numbers to look out for on a sticky note I leave on the dashboard.
I guess if you wanted to get detailed you could include the distance then as you drive do the mental math as an activity for yourself.

I do something similar except I’ll stop using my GPS if I’ve driven the route multiple times.
- Comment on I Convinced HP's Board to Buy Palm for $1.2B. Then I Watched Them Kill It in 49 Days 1 month ago:
I still remember picking up a couple TouchPads during the fire sale. That was my first foray into sideloading and retro gaming. Both tablets are now long dead, but we had fun times!
- Comment on Trump May Launch Wireless Phone Brand 1 month ago:
With American-made phones and American call centres, right? Right?
- Comment on Dyson Has Killed Its Bizarre Zone Air-Purifying Headphones 1 month ago:
I’m pretty sure Dyson killed these themselves the moment they turned these from concept to product.
- Comment on Apple’s most sweeping software redesign disappoints mainland Chinese consumers 1 month ago:
I like the direction, but I’d need the transparency to be dialled down a bit cause the contrast is missing.
- Comment on Going back to the roots. 1 month ago:
My top three favourites from the PS3 era would probably be Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, and Journey.
- Comment on To whom it may concern. 2 months ago:
And after my shift?
- Comment on Grave of the Fireflies 2 months ago:
If you’ve got it in you, you could head on out to your nearest Asian supermarket and there’s a chance they carry the same, if not similar, tin of hard candies you can buy and cry eating.
- Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews 2 months ago:
That’s so cool, thank you. I never delved into Asimov before, but it’s sounds like I really should.
- Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews 2 months ago:
That’s a good point! SNW does have Pike cooking for some of his crew on occasion.
- Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews 2 months ago:
Never thought about it before, but is there science fiction with a premise where humans might someday forget how to cook because it’s no longer a part of the culture?
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 2 months ago:
It’d be a crying shame if the students were required to complete the school year with physical books and a notebook.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations 2 months ago:
Fascinating.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations 2 months ago:
I don’t suppose you’ve heard of Full Metal Alchemist or Avatar the Last Airbender (technically not anime)? To me those are staple titles of the medium.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I primarily visit job sites with an iPad and stylus for plan reviews, but writing in a notebook communicates to the other person, in a tangible way, that you are present and participating the discussion.
