- Comment on Rabbit was once an NFT company that it wants you to forget about 3 days ago:
There is definitely a case for having a separate device for something a smartphone can do, if it can do it better, e.g a camera.
This device doesn’t do it better in my opinion.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 6 days ago:
You brought up advantages of it being a device, which I don’t disagree with. Nothing you said explained the “allow deep integration with AI”. That’s the only part I was questioning.
- Comment on Biden Echoes Fascist Rhetoric in Speech Denouncing “Lawless” Pro-Palestine Protests 1 week ago:
He knows people who won’t vote for Trump will vote for him anyway, but this move might make him more palatable to republicans who are losing hope in Trump.
It’s a calculated move to gain more voters than to lose. Whether it’s a good move, up to you.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 1 week ago:
What would prevent an Android app from having “deep integration with AI”? If the AI is in the cloud then it’s all done through normal web requests, which don’t even require a permission, let alone so special allowance from Google.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
Why would anyone pirate Windows and risk malware? You can download it for free straight from Microsoft, and you can just skip the product key step during installation, it works without a key just fine.
- Comment on Microsoft makes it easier to install Windows store apps from the web 2 weeks ago:
How is it inconvenient? Searching “foo” in the web browser and clicking the download link is faster than opening the terminal, and typing “apt install foo”. You also don’t need to know the package name, and don’t need to know if it’s in your repos in the first place. If it’s not then you just wasted time anyway and have to search the web anyway.
Let’s go with an example, let’s say I want to install Sublime Text. On Windows: I search “sublime text”, click first result, click download, click the installer, done. On Linux: I consider using the package manager. Hopefully I don’t even try because it wouldn’t work. I search “sublime text”, click first result, click download. I get a list of commands to add a GPG key, add a repo, then two more commands to update and install. I open a terminal and copy paste the 4 commands. Windows way seems more convenient and faster.
- Comment on How come TurboVPN can have double the amount of downloads compared to NordVPN and ExpresVPN? ++ 3 weeks ago:
So what I’m reading from your comment is:
- They accept refunds even if you were already using the service for up to 30 days
- They have support that will help you diagnose issues
- They will give you a refund if they can’t solve your issue
- They usually get back to you within 3 days
- You are not locked in to their app and can use other ones if they work better for you
Thanks for the info, I should try them.
- Comment on United Scams of Assholes 4 weeks ago:
Crazy that you have to go to court over it (I assume this is for the US). Here in the UK the deposit has to be secured by a third party independent organisation. So you follow everything you said, but step 10 becomes “submit your evidence on a website” and the landlord has no power over the verdict.

Or… siblings?

But you could freely rotate in new accounts. Now you have to wait a year.
- Comment on SpaceX is reportedly building hundreds of spy satellites for the US government 1 month ago:
I assume the hard part here is the deployment of thousands of low orbit satellites at a rapid rate, not the imaging. The government surely already has the imaging tech, it’s getting a swarm of satellites up there what’s no other company has proven able to do.
- Comment on CFCs 1 month ago:
Obviously new systems are unaffected, the question is how many industrial controllers checking oil pipeline flow levels or whatever were installed before the fix and never updated.
- Comment on Please Stop 1 month ago:
How does it “certainly meet it”? There is no consensus mechanism in git, new blocks are not replicated across the network, there is no network at all, git works offline. You can replicate changes with remotes but there is no “git network” in any similar sense. And conflicts are definitely not resolved automatically.
That’s 3 ways it doesn’t meet the definition. You could maybe stretch the meaning of a network to make it 2.
- Comment on I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace. 2 months ago:
Yeah, absolutely.
- Comment on I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace. 2 months ago:
If your mental model of time is based on analog clocks, then when looking at a digital clock you have to translate it back clock hands to know what it means, and that’s slower than immediately seeing the analog clock face.

On Samsung phones it’s just an option in the settings.
- Comment on dotnet developer 2 months ago:
An often repeated urban legend that has no basis in reality. Sodtware checking the version of Windows gets “6.1” for Windows 7 and “6.2” for Windows 8. The marketing name doesn’t matter and is different.
- Comment on Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice 3 months ago:
The project was accessing Haiers cloud API, not just your appliance. Not that that it makes this any less shitty, but there is a difference. They aren’t saying you aren’t allowed to access a product you own, they are saying you aren’t allowed to access their servers.
