Hopefully this doesn’t give Microslop executives the idea of turning it into a feature to force their users to save their files onto OneDrive
- Comment on Windows 11 is getting support for 1,000 Hz+ monitors soon as part of Insider builds — Microsoft has reportedly increased the refresh rate limit to 5,000 Hz 5 days ago:
One easy way to see this of you are equipped for it is to drag a window around on your desktop at 60hz and then do it again at 120hz. The difference on smoothness is obvious.

- Comment on Stubborn, maybe, but if it ain't broke 2 weeks ago:
I know exactly the video you’re taking about and it reminds me of something that I find mind-blowing. Just like crocodilians, sharks haven’t evolved much in millions of years. But there can be a seemingly chaotic and fast paced feeding frenzy with a dozen sharks all competing to grab a bite of something and somehow they don’t bite each other. How they manage to do that amazes me.

- Comment on what is this 2 weeks ago:
I agree. If the fediverse allows crap like that and it grows new users will be turned away by their feed being filled with garbage posts like that.
- Comment on Data centers are now hoarding SSDs as hard drive supplies dry up 3 weeks ago:
You forgot to mention that the product they’re sacrificing everything for is widely failing to meet expectations and that they will likely expect taxpayers to bail them out when their investments fail and threaten to take out the entire economy with themselves

IDK if I’m understanding their response correctly in the article but it really sounds like the people affected are left to pay for the repair themselves
- Comment on Fairphone 5 bricked by faulty Android 15 update 3 weeks ago:
That’s a big oof for a product like Fairphone. They dropped the ball hard too by not standing behind their fuckup and left the consumer hanging. Fairphone just got off my list of potential new purchases.

This isn’t new. I remember seeing this printers many years ago already. I’d approach it with suspicion.

You constantly radiate heat. The warmer you are, the faster you radiate it away. In space this does not stop.

There’s a reason why they prefer to attack unarmed people. That one time they encountered someone who turned out to be carrying a weapon they panicked and murdered him.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
That acronym is common in the military for reporting enemy sightings. How fitting.
- Comment on In the future, it will be considered unbelievable that repairing a product used to be more expensive than buying a new one 5 weeks ago:
It would have been unbelievable in the past as well. We are in the unusual period where the forces of capitalism have stopped incentivizing quality and efficiency.
- Comment on Beyond All Reason 5 weeks ago:
IMO Supreme Commander failed to capture the original game’s soul had. You had a sense of an epic battle going on when playing. I think it was because it always devolved into playing all zoomed out, watching tiny strategic icons moving across the map, blinking and disappearing. I can’t even tell you what any of the units looked like because we almost never see them. The fact that they gave generic names to units and structures such as “level one point defence turret” didn’t help either.
BAR does a much better job of keeping the player zoomed in and into the action, seeing and feeling so the cool details of the battle going on. Heavy plasma batteries blowing up chunks of advancing armies and terrain, lasers blowing up i dovidual targets in rapid succession, sending debris flying everywhere, this was all what TA was about.
- Comment on Beyond All Reason 5 weeks ago:
I understand that, but if a third-party was to make a mod that restores the old names, I don’t see how they could possibly be held legally liable for it.
- Comment on Beyond All Reason 5 weeks ago:
I wish someone made a mod for this game that restored the names of the units and buildings to all their Total Annihilation equivalents.
- Comment on Finally, the FPS I keep asking for: Deep combat, classic modes, and an honest-to-god server browser 1 month ago:
The Specialists was amazing. Expect for the players who were min-maxing it, but they were rare. Most people were playing it for the fun of it.

If you really were still naive enough to think that a public tech company cares about your right to privacy at that point, it’s pretty much on you.

Fuck this. I want to be primordial soup again.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Of course they want that. So they can control and see everything that people can do on their devices. With Moore’s law there is absolutely no reason why centralizing computers should make sense.
