They wish they could stop me from emulating old games lol
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 3 days ago:
ThinkPads generally aren’t low to medium Windows laptops though, they’re literally several thousand dollar machines. It’s just they age incredibly well, so they end up on the used market at a heavily discounted price after a while. I’d be surprised if a Chromebook outperformed a ThinkPad when it comes to actual performance.
Yeah that’s a good point about keyboard and mice, that’s kind of why I like having an actual standalone laptop. For me I feel like a tablet isn’t as portable as a phone, but it’s also not as useful as a standalone laptop, so it’s kind of hard for me to find a use case for it.
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 3 days ago:
faster with the things it can do
What do you mean by this? Surely you don’t mean actual performance, right?
I don’t game a ton but having the performance to be able to do so is really nice IMO. The battery life is great as well, and being able to put any OS I want on it is huge too.
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 3 days ago:
I was thinking of buying a Chromebook for travelling cause it’s cheap. I was very close to buying one, but someone told me about the world of used ThinkPads. I ended up buying a used ThinkPad with an AMD R7 4750U and I am so glad I did. It can run literally every game I want lol

I thought it was the sister who wrote the speech the AI read, but yeah, this whole thing feels wrong and gross.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 days ago:
I hope it does worse than the Wii U tbh, Nintendo needs to be knocked down quite a few pegs. I am quite fed up with them.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 days ago:
I’m not so sure.
All of my friends who are less pissed off at Nintendo than I am are not even considering buying a Switch 2 because Nintendo basically priced themselves out of the market. All of my friends who have a Switch 1 will not be buying the Switch 2, that’s pretty significant IMO, but I guess we’ll see.
- Comment on Gears of War: Reloaded announced, coming this summer to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 1 week ago:
Agreed completely, I just wish that they would stop remastering Gears 1 only and give 2 and 3 some much deserved love too.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
It wasn’t a clear end in sight, there was still lots of content and systems that needed to be ported over to the new system, a new payment system to be integrated, and other new features they needed. They had two developers who were familiar with the system, me and another dev. I did kind of suspect that something like this was possible, but I didn’t think they would be dumb enough to actually do it. It turns out, they were dumb enough to do it.
They were just really cheap, and I was most likely their highest paid developer on my team, and myself and another dev were replaced by friends of manager that laid me off.
After that manager laid me off, I asked for a reference or a letter of recommendation, and was ghosted entirely. It happens.

Windows is malware.
I remember when Linux users used to say that, but it turns out they were right.
I’m glad I leaved that cursed OS behind.

I mean, it’s kind of not incorrect:
Windows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft’s forced Windows 11
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
I got laid off 3 months after I launched a modern website to replace my former company’s old platform that none of their other developers wanted to work with.
I did exactly what they told me, something they wanted for years and years, and then I got laid off as a thanks instead of a bonus.
lol

There are dozens of us!
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 2 weeks ago:
Seems like PewDiePie is a lot more open-minded than a lot of Windows users lol
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 4 weeks ago:
Technically they’re right, which is why pirating Ubisoft games is ethical.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
Sure but his doctors are keeping him alive regardless, clogged arteries no problem they’ll clear that right up too.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
I’d say there’s zero chance, he could probably easily outlive us all somehow.

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 5 weeks ago:
It was a rough estimate, it’s “only” $114 AUD.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 5 weeks ago:
So it’s $650 CAD $700 AUD for the Switch 2 and it’s $120 CAD $150 AUD for Mario Kart.
LMAO
- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 1 month ago:
Nobody is referring to 10 years as “months”.
When you’re talking about multiples of years, it’s going to be called years, not months. They were obviously talking about a short timeline, less than 2 years, likely less than 1 year.
They have no idea what they’re talking about.
- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 1 month ago:
Yep, months is a joke, doubly so when talking about tens of millions of lines of code and also COBOL specifically.
This is going to be a hilarious disaster but not so hilarious when people who need the benefits need them and won’t be able to get them.

It is indeed very difficult to type convert 001.jpg example.pdf and ffmpeg -i rock.mp4 rock.avi
- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 1 month ago:
Because it’s easy to accidentally run services or set up services temporarily and forget that you left them running. With UPnP being able to automatically/dynamically open ports, a firewall is just another layer of protection. You can also configure firewalls to ignore packets silently or log dropped packets, and if applications ever get new versions and end up listening on new ports, you would have to manually allow the ports. Maybe you want to have one part of an application accessible through the firewall but not another part of the application.
Plus, like you said, country blocking is nice, and there are also other features too like being able to throttle connections, especially with things like fail2ban.
It’s just another layer of protection, and it ensures that everything you run is deliberate.

Yes, correct, I made a typo. I fixed it now.

Same thing that happens with NCIX’s personal information data, it probably goes to the highest bidder.
- Comment on Someone help me understand the sonarr to jellyfin workflow 1 month ago:
It’s important to have seperate directories for unfinished torrent downloads and complete ones, and only have sonarr pick up from the completed one
Back when I used Torrents instead of Usenet for sonarr, I had only the one folder, since Plex would generally pick up the library changes automatically anyway. I’d assume that Jellyfin is similar, although I don’t use it enough to know for sure. These days I use only Usenet for sonarr/radarr since I’m paying for Usenet and it’s excellent for automation/new content, and SABnzbd provides both incomplete and complete folders by default anyway.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I think so yes (there is a stereotype about them for good reason after all), but I think things are trending in an extremely concerning direction and things are going to get worse. I mean, they’re clearly trying to make younger Americans less intelligent, look at what they’re doing with the department of education.
- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 1 month ago:
You should, yes. I run a firewall (I usually use ufw) on all of my Internet-connected devices, since all of my devices run Linux. There’s not really any good reason not to in 2025.
