- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 2 days ago:
I avoid big channels, anything more then 20 people or so and I go to a smaller channel.
I made good friends over the years on twitch.
- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 2 days ago:
Twitch is a SOCIAL website, you chat with the streamer and they chat back. All these ads do is interrupt the conversation and it’s SICK to me. It ruins the entire experience. I don’t mind the pop up small ads, but the full screen ads with sound just trashed the entire conversation. Always seems to happen when I ask a streamer a question then BAM 6 full screen ads when the streamer starts to answer me. No, I’m not paying for turbo or a sub, I’m f*ing broke right now.

- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 2 weeks ago:
When I had my wallet all setup, I like to take out all cards and get a photo of the front and back of all cards.
If it’s ever stolen then you can see the photos for the phone to call and report stolen and the card numbers too. You also know what was in the wallet too.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 2 weeks ago:
I agree, already made a post in my server to follow me on X, Y, Z etc and how they were recently hacked 70,000 IDs leaked so they can’t be trusted.

- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 3 weeks ago:
I spent forever looking for Mythbusters on DVDs, the only 2 DVDs I ever found were “collections” and not seasons. So weird they don’t want my money.
- Comment on Self-driving cars, autonomous robots and drones, and other AI systems get hijacked by custom road signs 4 weeks ago:
One time I saw a 30mph sign spray painted to say 88mph speed limit. Good thing it was before self driving cars of that would have been crazy.

- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 4 weeks ago:
Just saw a thing yesterday about what china calls the “death line” (i think that’s what it’s called) it’s basically how most people are paycheck to paycheck and one expense can topple people into poverty and homeless. I’m thinking the tariffs goal was to move that line so less people can take action.

- Comment on This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again 1 month ago:
Greed and lack of empathy?
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 1 month ago:
I think it’s one of the most lazy ways to make a video, and leeching off more popular content.
They are not transforming the content enough to be free use.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 1 month ago:
Sometimes I find it fun to watch a game I will never play, but I also get to chat with the streamer so theres that too.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I can see maybe the parent of a child seeing games as unproductive.
But as an adult it’s a good way to unwind like listening to good music or watching a movie. As long as it’s only for a few hours though, as games can go on and on and on. Some people over do it, and some people have even died from lack of food or breaks.
I really enjoy games, buy them whenever I see them at the thrift stores if I don’t already have the game. Now I have many thousands of games, and no worry about the game companies taking them away from me because these are physical.
- Comment on What are some unique Games to host server's of? 2 months ago:

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
AI uses so much power just to give a slop answer, VS having an actual algorithm providing useful info for a fraction of power.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 2 months ago:
I bought some gold a few years ago, the price has gone up quite a lot since. I invested in small little pieces recovered from a lake somewhere. I figured it’s easier to barter with a tiny piece than a huge coin or bar of gold. It’s only a small part of my portfolio. I decided to invest in a mix of stuff, as you never really know the future. A little bit of cryptos, gold, silver, bullets, canned foods, solar panels, batteries, rain catchment and containers, etc. I also worked on my survival skills, tool skills, crafting skills, etc. it’s a huge way to barter with people when you have skills they need. The biggest thing I invested in is raw land in the middle of nowhere. The land has an RV and working on systems to gather water, power, etc. 99% of the stuff will be solar powered, but we do have a diesel heater, it doesn’t use much fuel as we only use it when it’s really cold.
I think gold is just one of the many things needed to survive if things collapsed. If it’s even needed. It’s just one of those things that makes me feel better as an insurance / just in case. But I feel the other things I have done will make a bigger difference if it ever comes down to it.
- Comment on My PS1 died today 2 months ago:
The original Xbox? I think Those have a super capacitor that ends up leaking on the motherboard and should be replaced. I still didn’t get around to doing it on mine, but it’s on my mind that I need to do that.
- Comment on How I discovered a hidden microphone on a Chinese NanoKVM 2 months ago:
I was really sketched out with my BLI-KVM. I had a server that was off, when I booted it the bios was in Chinese. Although someone did say that motherboard had a flaw that would do that, I wasn’t Sure if it was the KVM or the motherboard, but still…
