  in space there are no labor laws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know it was a thing until about two years ago, but my experience with it has made me want to take a tac-hammer to the center console in the vehicles its been integrated into. It hijacks my phone and crashes the apps that were already running but if you try to turn it off while keeping the phone connected it just keeps restarting.

  git!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not surprised if the professor got fired even though i agree with them. I’ve had friends that were from OK and they talked about how religiously dogmatic that state and the colleges were. I know my one friend had to get the ACLU involved for discrimination he received for his sexuality from the university he attended. -I’m more surprised the professor was ever hired in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have long read reports of amazon reselling used or opened & returned pc-components. We really need a more trustworthy source of pc-components that isn’t a regional micro center store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Microsoft do anything right in 2025? Wins, fails, and WTF moments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  my older brother thinks they peaked with win 95. I think they peaked with Win 98 SE.

  remember: never let your smart devices talk to the internet.

  Especially a smart phone!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US demands access to tourists' social media histories⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it comes with the territory. Working in U.S. tourism means eating an inordinate amount of shit if a person wants to get paid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So your saying it was a mistake to return to facebook?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never stopped using Kodi

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shout out to my engineering homies.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not asian but that bsounds like a lot of what i’ve heard called Asian Guilt. I’ve heard American Asians get a lot of flak for not measuring up to the likes of Jonny Kim. --personally, i’m finding it easier to deal with familial disappointment while living an ethical life as oppose to living an unethical life while still dealing with familial disappointment because i’m not gonna measure up to someone elses standards. Anyways, be good to yourself, there’s no guarantee anyone else will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shout out to my engineering homies.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does your Taiwanese background play into that kind of thinking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨same shit every day, on god⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  use cherenkov radiation to power photovoltaic array.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  if it undermines my fifth amendment right not to testify against myself, then I’m not interested in ending the use of passwords.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  those are interesting links. I just went off of backblaze reports for hdd failures, and it looked like Western Digital had some of the best results

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been waiting over a month for my MicroCenter to restock Western Digital 14-16 TB HDD to upgrade my NAS. I finally caved and ordered direct from Western Digital. It still took them 10 days to ship the order.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's OK to just like lemon water.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use Alkaline water just Nickel-Metal Hydride water. When I’m feeling rich I spring for the Lithium-Ion water, but no alkaline water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breakthrough gel can regenerate tooth enamel within weeks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a subject that targets people’s deep-seated insecurities. Everybody wants a tooth that can regenerate when they first discover a cavity for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube deleting videos documenting Israeli human rights violations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I often find the need for Proton’s encrypted email to be sonewhat dubious when Proton can’t (or won’t) fight secret court orders to collect logs on users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube deleting videos documenting Israeli human rights violations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It honestly sounds like a relief for someone that wants to exit the google ecosphere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  next the tech-bros will come for you and there will be nobody left to speak up for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been casually using linux for nearly twenty years and i’m still looking up commands i use with some regularity.

  drill bit*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remimds me of when everyone was deleting their posts around the API blackout and suddenly the next day it was like Reddit did a restore from checkpoint and all of the edited posts and deleted posts came right back. I for one had to run the script that replaced then delete my posts twice, but that’s besides the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, well it’s not like Amazon’s ever driven their own labor shortage before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s worth checking out the contribs and talk regarding articles that can be divisive. People acting with ulterior motives and inserting their own bias are fairly common. They also make regular corrections for this reason. I still place more faith and trust in Wikipedia as an info source more than most news articles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe there was just a post the other day arguing that Ring was beginning to collect biometric data on anyone that passed in front of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure PornHub is just the most well-known example and they happen to own something like 5 others of the top ten most visited porn sites on the net.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unified Theory of American Reality⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In hindsight it’s kind of surprising that people wouldn’t expect most of the kids to work together to help eachother survive because that’s why we have cities, towns, villages, etc…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unified Theory of American Reality⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but “good” and “evil” are human constructs meaning they can’t be intrinsic? That teacher was a idiot.
