Buy the dip. This is gonna pull AI stocks down a bit and then they will “magically” come to an acceptable deal mid next week.
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 1 day ago:
The reset button is basically just a signal to the CPU/BIOS that it should wipe memory and begin the boot process from scratch. If it was not working, that indicates the CPU was hard locked and not responding to any sort of input, not just an os fault The power button sends an actual trigger signal to the PSU through the ATX connector so it bypasses any mainboard lock.
Random shit happens, see if it does it again.
My go to for random stability issues is to always run a full deep memtest to look for bad RAM and then a CPU stress test to see if it’s a random thermal or core issue. More often than not I find stability problems just with these two steps. - Comment on Who remembers when you needed a separate "Download Manager" to handle concurrent downloads? 1 day ago:

- Comment on Who remembers when you needed a separate "Download Manager" to handle concurrent downloads? 1 day ago:
It was never about concurrency but it was way more about resilience against connection drops. You all know how unreliable dialup was of someone happened to touch a phone or a storm made the lines a bit noisy. Having a transfer fail halfway through, before browsers/oses had some concept of resuming partial downloads, was one of THE most infuriating things.

Good. Punish the cartel.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 1 week ago:
Because to get the serialized part, you still have to be approved for the purchase through background checks, which will go live on the state police database, and then the police can check that database to see recently acquired firearms if something happens. Chances are the list of a specific type of firearm with the serial ground off is going to be pretty short.
And yes, the being able to obtain it with no background checks at all is the other big key.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 1 week ago:
“3d printing guns” isn’t about the pressure holding parts, it’s about the traceable serial number holding parts. On most firearms the “lower assembly” or “receiver” (frame, trigger group, feeding assy) is legally considered the firearm and is what bears the serial. Most of those can be printed and use off the shelf hardware to work, albeit with a much lower lifespan.
Pressure containing wear parts that are meant to be exchanged (barrel and breech bolt) typically do not carry serials and are thus not normally traceable. If you eliminate the serialized, traceable part of the firearm, then any collection of parts could be used.That said, eliminating an entire hobby and industry because gun serialization laws haven’t been updated in a hundred years is probably not the right way to do it.
- Comment on Fairphone 5 bricked by faulty Android 15 update 1 week ago:
The idea is that there is already a bunch of shit developed for Linux
Yes, this is true, but much of what’s developed for Linux is not intended to be mobile touchscreen friendly- nor is the “normie suite” of typical daily driver apps developed for Linux alone. very few these days even have web frontends that could run in an electron container outside of the linux apk, so it would be difficult to drive software adoption without a huge paradigm shift in consumers.
- Comment on Fairphone 5 bricked by faulty Android 15 update 1 week ago:
Provably never, as it’s the chicken-and-egg app availability problem that killed Nokia and Windows phone. Everything is developed for Android, at this point if you launch a new phone OS it’s just going to sit at 0.01% marketshare of weird nerds buying it until you go bankrupt because you can’t buy the hardware anymore.

- Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles 2 weeks ago:
Most li-ions land around 120-160 w/kg. So much poorer, but much cheaper on density
The specific power (power density) is kind of crazy though. I think most li-ions top out around 10kW/kg, any more and they will overheat and boil their electrolyte which usually leads to fire.

And even then, big question mark, as most Chinese produced camera modules have black box firmware. If it’s on the Internet it’s not yours.

- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 2 weeks ago:
Which is funny, people use to shit on AMD for bad driver support at launch. But now it’s Nvidia whose drivers get actively worse which each release.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 2 weeks ago:
AMD embedded hardware is quite a bit different than dedicated gpu’s. They never break 20% in the steam survey for any kind of gpu, they were trending closer to 10-15% for the longest time.

I can’t stand sardines. Every time I’ve tried them it’s just the wrong kind of fishy flavor.
If I want cheap protein I usually go chicken or turkey.

- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 2 weeks ago:
I want a Fairphone quite badly as my old s21 ultra is starting to reach the end of it’s useful life. But it not working on Verizon is an automatic dealbreaker because they are the only carrier that works in the rural areas I am always working in. Tmobile is next to useless, so looks like I am still stuck.
