- Comment on After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat 1 week ago:
I don’t understand the mindset of people who buy these things in the first place. Occasionally there’s an article like, “guy’s entire house suddenly inoperable after Amazon ban,” people just don’t think that will happen to them? It is local control on a standardized protocol or nothing for me.

I have plenty of capacity to hate both.

Do you hear anything about how those people pay for the VPN, or does that not come up?

Oh, thank you. Damn, you hate to see it.
- Comment on Catholic 'media ministry' defrocks AWOL AI priest after it told faithful you can baptise babies in Gatorade and that, sure, it can totally perform your wedding 1 week ago:
Christians are remarkably inconsistent about what is natural and good or unnatural and bad.
- Comment on FTC fines Razer for every cent made selling bogus “N95 grade” RGB masks 1 week ago:
I want to see the jail time when they knowingly commit fraud which harms people more than the cost of the product. I’d like to see jail time for wage theft, too.
- Comment on FTC fines Razer for every cent made selling bogus “N95 grade” RGB masks 1 week ago:
Good start but still not enough.

Photography advice threads: “zoom with your feet!”
Scientists: “…ok.”
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 1 week ago:
I watched this review to check him out after writing that. I think he’s pretty great. YouTube is fucking awful, I’ll have to catch him somewhere else.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 1 week ago:
I love the dumb little form factors those guys do. The only thing stopping me is that I know it is overhyped bullshit which I will be bored of in a week. If it were easy to develop my own software to completely replace what’s on it I might be convinced.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 1 week ago:
This is the second time I’ve read about this specific reviewer having a sane perspective on way overhyped gadgets. Sounds worth checking out. I’m used to videos being completely worthless because they are usually trying to get product affiliate money and YouTube ad revenue at the same time.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
Pay for the car and subscribe to the batteries sounds like a CEO’s wet dream.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
You don’t want to subscribe to the heated seats you already paid for? Looking forward to the near future where they replace the ignition with a card reader so you can do micropayments based on how long you use your own vehicle.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 week ago:
Tesla valuation is beyond comprehension, I don’t want to touch it.
- Comment on Traefik 3.0 GA Has Landed: Here's How to Migrate 1 week ago:
Damn, same, nuked Traefik when v2 broke the setup I spent hours trying to figure out. I don’t think the concepts are overwhelming, but something is profoundly wrong with their documentation habits. Now someone in the comments here is saying v3 changes the way paths are read with regex? Lol, fuck Traefik, never again.
- Comment on WTF Happened In 1971? 1 week ago:
It is so stupid. I wish they would get a clue.
- Comment on WTF Happened In 1971? 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t mind seeing a Reagan arrow on these graphs.
- Comment on WTF Happened In 1971? 2 weeks ago:
Libertarians cannot handle the cognitive load of multiple contributing factors, otherwise they wouldn’t be libertarians.
- Comment on WTF Happened In 1971? 2 weeks ago:
I’m kinda tired of seeing this fucking website being passed around. Several of those rocketing charts begin their launch sequence in the 80s. Must be the gold! Regulations are bad!
- Comment on Stop Using Your Face or Thumb to Unlock Your Phone 2 weeks ago:
They make sense as a 2FA. It would be really cool if I could require either PIN+fingerprint or a long recovery password.
- Comment on Stolen design being sold on etsy 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it sure would be nice to have these companies do some vetting. Unfortunately that would cost them money, so we cannot be doing something like that.
- Comment on Stolen design being sold on etsy 2 weeks ago:
Do a DMCA takedown with Etsy. They are violating your copyright. Copyright law kinda sucks but it’s the only tool we have to enforce stuff like CC licenses.
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 2 weeks ago:
So? Creating videos isn’t free, but few creators are receiving money worth the time they put in.
They also have a cycle-of-rage algorithm leading children from video game content into far-right radicalization.
- Comment on Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband 2 weeks ago:
These shitheads have received massive government handouts to build infrastructure, which they simply pocketed. Nobody’s face has been eaten in the slightest. To this day they are still maliciously suing to prevent municipal internets from providing real competition.
- Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them. 2 weeks ago:
Libertarians discovering reality is such a great genre.
- Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them. 2 weeks ago:
I understand why women might be stuck in Texas. But it seems foolish af to move somewhere that would force you to incubate a fetus inside your body.
- Comment on Meta spent $4.3 billion on its VR division in three months, and made *checks figures* $440 million in return 2 weeks ago:
I was happy and now I am sad.

Honestly love to see Meta losing money. Zuck is a parasite on this nation. A cancer.
- Comment on Best options for entry level 3D printing available these days? 2 weeks ago:
Definitely no cloud is a strict requirement here, too. I see where you are coming from. A couple of times I wanted to print something but instead had to replace bearings and recalibrate. That takes days or longer because I am low motivation about it. I guess that’s the price I have to pay to ensure I’ll always be able to replace parts with standard components and recalibrate.
- Comment on Best options for entry level 3D printing available these days? 2 weeks ago:
You know, I’m sure it is great. But looking around at the absolute bullshit I see with 2D printers, I’m never buying a closed source machine for 3D. People are even complaining about Brother these days, seems like only a matter of time that proprietary machines go to shit.
