- Comment on Peter Thiel was trapped inside a student debating hall by pro-Palestine protesters accusing him of genocide 3 days ago:
Not being assaulted, or trapped/confined is one of those things unfortunately
Nah, fuck that. Rich assholes who try to destroy the fabric of our democracy don’t deserve those respects. He wanted to use his money and power to make life miserable for regular people, so booo fucking hooo if he can use his money and power to get away from public opinion.

- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 6 days ago:
There are very little, if any, benefits to using a VPN service to browse the public internet.
I’ve run into issues multiple times where a site doesn’t load until I turn on my VPN with an endpoint in the EU
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
You just make rice and beans because it’s the absolute cheapest food available. You’ll take meat and non-vegan when it’s available. But at the very least, you’ll survive on rice and beans.
This. When I was poor ad and regularly using the food bank they’d give venison periodically, and that was my favorite part of the boxes. That and this rice and seasoning meals went together amazingly and would last me like a week of meals.

- Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. 1 week ago:
What person with an automated cargo door closure mechanism has thought “stop protecting my stuff and just fucking close”?
I’ll admit it annoys me when there’s something in the way that keeps my door from latching and it reopens, but I’d rather have to clear the door and shut it manually than it force itself closed and jams the door or break my shit.

Did "you* read past point #2? In your own list?
Guessing not.

Wow, the logic in the post is so non-existent I half expect you to make up dumb bullshit along the way
Therefore, legally Oct 7 was an act of genocide, and Israel’s war on Hamas is not. Such a designation has nothing to do with body count.
Exactly like claiming a single attack is genocide, but a sustained campaign of bombing homes, refugee camps, and evacuation corridors isn’t.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 1 week ago:
“Needs” lol
It’s just in there to sell more hardware. Afaik, 11 does nothing that actually requires the newer tpm.

- Comment on Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game 1 week ago:
The problem is, most game devs are lazy and would rather offload the expensive compute required to catch cheaters onto the client instead of coming up with server side methods that work. I follow a game dev on youtube, and that’s one of the things he goes on about at times. Dude is a security researcher and had a lot of time doing that for Blizzard, so I’m pretty sure he knows his shit.

- Comment on Columbia students defy deadline to disband pro-Palestinian encampment 1 week ago:
here is a way to point on logical fallacy by taking the logic to the extreme.
The problem with this statement is that it requires you to actually use logic to get there, something your original comment sorely lacks.

Green means good and red bad as well, stop/go is another way to describe it, but colored statuses are super common in software stuff.
- Comment on Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated? 2 weeks ago:
so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement?
The cloud is just someone else’s computer, so when you cut the cord from the cloud, you gotta run your own server.
And you don’t need to buy a (robust) device to run HA, just install it on a spare system and start playing with it. I started building mine about 1.5yrs ago when I bought a house and I think I only gave mine like 2 CPU and 8gb ram.
What actually happens when I turn on a smart switch in my home? Does that command have to be sent to a server somewhere to be processed?
Yes, you have to have something that accepts your commands and sends the action to the end device. Just like your Google home did.
What really has to be processed, and why can’t a smartphone app do it?
Because that’s not how things work. Your app has to talk to a server to send the commands, Google home has cloud servers and a local bridge. HA has an app that you can use to control your stuff, same as Google Home.
Smart Home apps are worthless without hardware required to connect the app to your home.

- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 2 weeks ago:
The last phone I ever had that dinged me for SMS messages was the tracfone I owned when that was all I could afford. I think that might have been like a decade or so ago? Maybe closer to 15 like you were saying.

I’m unfortunately on Reddit regularly, but that’s only because it still has decent tech support search results. Haven’t logged in since the APIpocalypse
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You abstain and
don’tcontribute to the ethosof eitherthe worse agendaFTFY. One party doesn’t want you to vote because you’re likely more against them than the other option.
Voter suppression is the right’s bread and butter, don’t be naive and think you’re not doing exactly what they want by staying home.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Not voting is a choice that inherently favors republicans due to how consistent they tend to vote. So vote or not, you’re still supporting one candidate or another.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
What other option that actually has a chance of winning is there? Last I saw, it was either going to be Biden or Trump on the ballot come November. So do you support indirect genocide that can be curbed, or do you support full throated fascistic genocide?
And remember, inaction is a choice, and that choice inevitably favors the republican candidate. So again, which do you choose? Can you justify not playing electoral politics when we end up with that fucking fascist asshole back in the whitehouse? Cuz I’m sure Israel is gonna turn it up to 11 once they know they’ve got full cover from Donald (“Stop releasing footage of you murdering people, this is really bad optics”)[apnews.com/…/trump-biden-israel-pr-hugh-hewitt-21…] Trump.
- Comment on Biden expected to sign the TikTok ban on Wed. 2 weeks ago:
it’s a terrible precedent to have the government ban a media company
Good thing TikTok’s not actually being banned then isn’t it? It’s just being forcibly sold, which is quite different.
