- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
When I’m browsing around with multiple tabs open, the last thing I want is something to start moving them around and messing my flow up. This is a solution looking for a problem.
- Comment on ChatGPT Is Still a Bullshit Machine 2 weeks ago:
The whole technology is based on a flawed simulation of intelligence. It has no understanding of the meaning of what it is saying. It will always be bullshitting.
- Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display 2 weeks ago:
Imagine being run over by a truck because the driver was trying to skip an ad
- Comment on Google search boss says AI isn’t killing search clicks 2 weeks ago:
Search clicks were dead already from 9 out of the top 10 results being AI generated SEO garbage that contains information that is blatantly false. AI just gives you that garbage erroneous info right there without having to click anything.
- Comment on ‘Not what our roads are built for’: Trump’s hope to see more US cars in Tokyo, London is a hard sell 2 weeks ago:
You can’t spend 30 seconds in Tokyo and not realize that large North American-style vehicles will not work there. There is no space. The very few Tokyoites who are fortunate enough to be able afford a house with a parking spot will still have just enough space to park a Kei car in it with only a few centimetres to spare.
They will not buy US cars because unless you are extremely rich you can’t afford to live with one there.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 3 weeks ago:
Stolen value.
- Comment on Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there 4 weeks ago:
The best part is that for the article Valve supplied a picture of Blue Scout standing speechless in front of pornographic pictures of his mom, as the punch line of the best “your mom” joke to ever exist.
- Comment on 'Clanker' is social media's new slur for our robot future 4 weeks ago:
Elon Musk’s Optimus robot has been coming to work in factories “by the end of the year” for over five years now.
It’s just another unsubstantiated promise he reuses every year just like the long promised full autonomy of his self-driving cars.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Stops Mid-Intersection After Running a Red Light… The Influencer Onboard Calls It “Impressive” 4 weeks ago:
It didn’t just “Run a red light”, it downright attempted a left turn in a lane meant to drive through. They’re just lucky that the incoming traffic was stopped when it happened or they might have been t-boned.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Stops Mid-Intersection After Running a Red Light… The Influencer Onboard Calls It “Impressive” 4 weeks ago:
If a death threat doesn’t leave an impression, what will?
- Comment on AI video is invading YouTube Shorts and Google Photos starting today 4 weeks ago:
They’re designed to keep people with poor impulse control caught in a constant loop of short garbage clips. A bigger screen is not going to change that.
Also I don’t normally watch YouTube on my phone unless I’m travelling and when I do I use NewPipe.
- Comment on President Trump threatened to break up Nvidia, didn't even know what it was — 'What the hell is Nvidia? I've never heard of it before' 4 weeks ago:
Whenever a company has reached a critical size or control of the market that it is no longer incentived to serve the interests of its customers and starts serving its shareholder’s instead, it should be broken up. This is the only way you will see actual innovation and positive growth again.
Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta are only a few in a long list that are long overdue to be broken up.
That being said, Trump is more believably saying that to scare them into giving him a bride. He just pulled his head out of his ass just enough to hear about a “new” company with deep pockets and smelled the money.
- Comment on AI video is invading YouTube Shorts and Google Photos starting today 4 weeks ago:
I use a plugin on Firefox. I’m not in my desktop right now and I don’t remember the name but it was easy to find if you search “YouTube shorts”
- Comment on AI video is invading YouTube Shorts and Google Photos starting today 4 weeks ago:
YouTube shorts are cancer already. I’ve had them blocked ever since they appeared.
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 5 weeks ago:
In my area geetting that higher bandwidth is at least an extra $50/month and I’m being conservative. That’s $600/year just to download games quicker.
That means that if you’re buying a new massive game once every month and a half you’re paying just as much for bandwidth to download the game as you’re paying for the game.
This is not good value unless you have so much disposable income that you don’t even know what to do with it.
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 5 weeks ago:
Which supports my point that average bandwidth is not an indicator of overall quality of internet accessible to the public. It is an indicator of household size.
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 5 weeks ago:
I grew up with dial up. Now I have 75 mbps and it’s plenty enough except maybe for that one time once in a while where I’m downloading a game on Steam. I see no point of paying three times what I’m paying right now per month to get 300 mbps. Even if it’s available, even if it’s worth it.
Average internet speeds can be very misleading.
- Comment on Trump says Ukraine should not target Moscow 5 weeks ago:
But Russia can target Kyiv anytime they want.
- Comment on Windows 11 will soon be able to describe images on your screen using AI — and it'll all be done locally 5 weeks ago:
It’s like I had already acknowledged that or something
- Comment on Windows 11 will soon be able to describe images on your screen using AI — and it'll all be done locally 5 weeks ago:
This will absolutely be used to facilitate the collection and reporting user profiling data.
Better accessibility for the blind is only a side effect.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 month ago:
Corporate jargon translation:
“It’s going to limit innovation” = “We won’t be able to use those new ways of ripping off our customers anymore”
- Comment on Subnautica's Original Creators Have Been Removed From Unknown Worlds "Effective Immediately", As Krafton Makes Concerning Leadership Changes 1 month ago:
Unknown Worlds was already dead anyway.
The team had already lost any chance of recreating the greatness of the first game when their sound designer made unbelievably stupid comments on social media, leaving the company no choice but to fire him.
This is very sad because I loved their stuff ever since the Natural Selection Half-life mod.
- Comment on Last year China generated almost 3 times as much solar power as the EU did, and it's close to overtaking all OECD countries put together (whose combined population is 1.38 billion people) 1 month ago:
Good on them. The earlier they can shut down those coal plants, the better.
