the absolute fucking state of journalism…
- Comment on There's a backstory to this Costco sign. And I'd like to know what happened. 10 months ago:
Why are you pulling this Reddit bullshit of making obvious title errors to drive engagement?
what the fuck is wrong with you?
- Comment on Apple Watch imports banned in America - Patents issues! 10 months ago:
If you actually read any of the articles about this isssue, you would know this was the result of Apple trying to poach an entire company’s development group to make the same oximeters for them. The normal course for this is to just buy the company whose IP you need.
Not only is that spitting in the face of regulators, it royally pissed off the remaining engineer C suite at Masimo and god help you if you ever legally wrong an engineer with the power and money to get revenge.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 17 needs "a younger generation" of lead developers, suggests FF16 producer 10 months ago:
It’s gotten so bad over there, they put Yoshi-P on a mainline FF game while simultaneously heading arguably the #1 MMORPG in the market lol
- Comment on I Wonder What Star Citizen Is Up To - Aftermath 10 months ago:
Shoutout to when I parked my Python on the Gnosis and never logged in again.
I like to imagine a huge hangar full of cobwebs and a rusted skeleton of a ship.
- Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation. 10 months ago:
The early model PS3 had a literal PS2 crammed inside of it for the sole purpose of backwards comparability which was fascinating. The death of physical media (blu ray) and high price kind of caused it to flop that generation. Look who’s laughing now though!

The day they try to bandwidth cap or piecemeal my internet service, I am becoming a Japanese terrorist
- Comment on MSI teasing a handheld gaming PC like the Steam Deck 10 months ago:
This is why I chose the deck. Least powerful in the segment on paper but those Windows handhelds are not going to age well lol.

Also the toilet with a autonomous bidet feature
…it’s a tongue. The toilet the little girls used has a giant tongue inside it
- Comment on Where did the exploding-heads people go? 10 months ago:
Conservatives hate being alone with each other because, surprise, they’re all shit people who just lie and hate 24/7
- Comment on Before It Was Carved 10 months ago:
The lazy and religious(insane) project manager didn’t even bother to clean up the rubble.
Like, they just left a giant pile of rocks right under the faces, it’s incredibly ugly and the pictures conveniently leave it just out of the frame.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 Signals the Industry’s New Priority: Stability 10 months ago:
Back when 5G cellular was first rolling out, a professor brought in a Qualcomm senior level manager and the topic was how 6G was being developed for long distance low latency capabilities.
How much of that was industry bullshit, no idea but it sounds like they had a pulse on the tech now that we hear about it years later.
- Comment on the weirdest part of the year 10 months ago:
Meanwhile, people in eSSenTiAl industries: “there’s a holiday?”
- Comment on 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still 10 months ago:
That’s about equal to a 3070ti, what are you playing to max settings 60fps on 32:9 1440 resolution on that? Because either you are straight up lying or being intentionally misleading by selecting a very narrow range of games.
- Comment on Pick your poison. Dystopian style 10 months ago:
No Uber driver ever scammed me into paying double fare or refusing credit cards.
Uber is objectively a cancer upon society. They should legally employ their drives and pay a fair wage with prices to match.
All I’m saying is, it takes a real shitty industry for Uber to still be the better option. Every “innovation” in the picture is a complete joke and should never be used even for practical purposes, except Uber…
- Comment on Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO 10 months ago:
They really leaned hard into the fraud strategy, hoping to IPO in 2023 and run with the money.
It got to the point where the entire front page was just bots reposting the greatest hits, with the comments section literally being bots reposting comments from the first time it was posted. There were entire comment chains of bots just having reposted conversations with each other.
The release of LLM APIs was the last straw, now even the conservatives are jumping ship because it was just a bunch of fascist liars lying to each other. And if there is one thing conservatives hate, it’s being around other conservatives.

I’d be more annoyed at having to plug all that shit in to recharge every night since I doubt there is some complex magnetic drive system under the flooring
- Comment on Two sides to Korea 10 months ago:
They’ve reached the point of deserving it. Modern Korean society is completely brainrotted by capitalist and right wing influence.
In the next 10-15 years we are going to see what real late stage capitalism is like, and it will be in South Korea.
A toast to the future.
- Comment on Very powerful flashlight 11 months ago:
Fun fact, you were probably using a low CRI light. Cooler blue hues wash out your target in a wall of white, which humans perceive as brighter without actually seeing anything.
An equivalent high CRI light allows you to see your target accurately at the same brightness level, but humans perceive it as darker even though you see more.
Modern flashlights are absolutely amazing and shock 9/10 people even in the trades because they still think of the hideous 90s maglites as standard.
- Comment on Tesla removes Disney+ app amid Elon Musk's feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger 11 months ago:
Ah yes that must be why SpaceX employs multiple professional handlers whose responsibility it is to distract manchild Mosk with shiny bits whenever he gets close to making an actual decision
- Comment on Apple Pausing Sales of Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in U.S. Due to Patent Dispute 11 months ago:
I think it’s less a public opinion thing (since when has Apple shown shame about pretending to invent things their competitors have had for 10+ years?)
…and more of a stealth acquisition thing so the government doesn’t catch on until they’re too big to break up. See Microsoft for another example.
- Comment on VW Is Putting Buttons Back in Cars Because People Complained Enough 11 months ago:
Easy, because regulations don’t mean anything anymore.
Headlights that blind you in the day and literally block all vision of the road at night, road legal trucks which bumpers that START at the hood of my car, all around limo tints on literally every car, people disabling their rear lights for some idiotic reason…
And that doesn’t even begin to mention the drivers themselves, so fucking self absorbed, tailgating, cutting you off for fun to get to the same light.
I’ve literally had a stream of cars going around me on street roads and so many dumbasses just follow the stream that I literally cannot safety accelerate because they’re all cutting me off bumper to bumper.
You should start carrying a gun if not already. The conservatives have successfully rotted western society.
- Comment on Southwest Airlines Flight Attendants Forced to Rerun Contract Vote After Crew Discovered Ballot System Was Vulnerable to Fraud (unsecured database web front-end) 11 months ago:
Also the revelation that there was verifiable foul play. Union members who had not cast their vote logged in to find someone had voted for them.
Fucking corporate scum.
Keep taking away avenues of change, I can’t wait to savor the shock in the suits eyes once the final option is used.
