- Comment on Q: Do I need Geforce Experience to make use of "Game Ready Drivers" (Nvidia)? 5 days ago:
There’s exactly two purposes: auto updates for drivers and a user interface to quickly install uninstall drivers.
The cons include that there’s annoying banners everywhere, the drivers itself are the same that you’ll find on their website, you need to create an account for Nvidia, and they will harvest you data (most likely).
Pick your poison xd
- Comment on ‘It’s the perfect place’: London Underground hosts tests for ‘quantum compass’ that could replace GPS 1 week ago:
Yeah maybe that could work. I definitely agree that there’s ways to get good anchor points. Maybe through cross-check with wireless networks even.
- Comment on ‘It’s the perfect place’: London Underground hosts tests for ‘quantum compass’ that could replace GPS 1 week ago:
But wouldn’t you scramble the precision with that? Stations can be quite big and anchoring to the station location means you already start with an offset to your location.
Depending on the accuracy over time, they could pinpoint a location while the user is sleeping and than use that as an anchor for the day.
But everything about that is speculative; let’s see where this goes first.
- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 1 month ago:
So many assumptions here.
Let me refute them through educated guesses.
- most people don’t have anything other than stereo
- most people don’t want anything other than stereo
- not everyone has the money to even get a decent TV, let alone 5.1 or God forbid 7.1
- Kirby does not focus an people with high end playback devices. It’s traditionally a kids game.
- 2secs Everytime you open the game can add up and be really annoying. Especially for kids, which are the core audience.

- Comment on Could I get an autopsy done on myself while I'm alive? 1 month ago:
Mind you this boils down to an absurdly short list of countries who even allow euthanasia at all.
And that’s because making sure the victim consented is super scary and risky. You don’t wanna accidentally allow murder, even if it’s only for the very smart murderers who can forge documents.
- Comment on Could I get an autopsy done on myself while I'm alive? 1 month ago:
I don’t see why it necessarily has to be traumatizing.
I know there’s a good chance you’re high so let’s get this straight.
A doctor will have to cut you up. There’s only 2 reasons for a doctor to go along. The first is unhealthy levels of sadism. The second is an acute need for money. No one in their right mind would go along with this. And generally cutting up a person that’s alive would be traumatizing to everyone. Just look up stories of of doctors in warzones. Seeing this stuff can cause bad defense mechanisms to activate through our innate instincts and most doctors has mad PTSD if they deal with this a few times. Cutting someone is like that, but tuned to an extreme that even less people can bear.

It can be useful. I use it often, so nitro is very helpful.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
Right. It makes sense right up until the point where they only act on negative reviews.
Non disclosures are industry standard, but this is bonkers. Non-disclosure but only for the stuff we don’t like? The fuck

- Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300 1 month ago:
RISC and CISC are two language which your CPU speaks, and which have different strengths and weaknesses. Reduced Instruction Set Computer vs. Complex Instruction Set Computer. It’s something like Chinese vs. English. Either have a word for everything but that means there is a lot of words to learn, or have a smaller amount of words but that means you need more words to describe what you mean.
Highly technical; both been around for a while, and iirc usually CPUs use CISC, but RISC always retained it’s strengths, so scientists are always looking into the difference in application for both.
Bgl I have no clue why this technology is so newsworthy rn but I know Western countries made a fuss about China activitily pushing the less used RISC architecture.
- Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes 2 months ago:
You made me think about this for a second.
In my head, the reason is not specifically to punish the driver, but to make drivers always be aware and ready to take control again. Yes 100 ppl will have 1000 different ways to react to such a software error, but you need ppl to pay attention, and in law the only way is to use punishment. Obviously this needs to be well calculated but either you have multiple lines of defense (the software, the driver, maybe even additional safety features) or you have to remove the autonomous system.

- Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes 2 months ago:
My morality says both are accountable. The driver, and Tesla. Tesla for damage caused by their system, and the driver for and if he does not retake control of the vehicle given the chance.
- Comment on Nurses Protest 'Deeply Troubling' Use of AI in Hospitals 2 months ago:
Isn’t there a way to do both for every patient as an additional information layer?
The dangerous part is not the AI, but the idea that AI can REPLACE everything. And that’s usually on the management.
- Comment on The Man Who Killed Google Search 2 months ago:
Right, so with all me very specific troubleshooting questions I should go where exactly?
Ecosia? Very limited search results Yandex? More obscure results, probably not what I’m looking for Bing? Ok on general stuff, not great on very specific questions Yahoo? Never tried it, heard the enshittification has become bad Duckduckgo and similar? Proxying Google
There is no way to get around Google. Everything else is either highly specialized, very limited or unusable in general.
Also feel free to chime in with your experience, I’m so down to hear what everyone has to say.

Peak troll behavior.
Can’t even find the argument between your insults, this comment is hilarious, but not in the good way.
And if you wanna have an answer that’s actually informative: it doesn’t matter which company, which country or where, but having content based information as well as metadata can lead to so much power, and there’s a good argument to be made that no one deserves blackmail levels of power over your life, especially a random cooperation that’s beholden to no one except it’s own rules.
And before you go on a tirade again: no, this has absolutely nothing to do with country or anything, this is an ethical dilemma which can be extended to any country.
- Comment on A Judge Can Break Up Google Right Now. Will He? 2 months ago:
We call this vertical integration. Basically looking at any process you can make a table of different parts of the process on the y axis and different competitors of those parts on the x axis.
The more width you get, the better. It means high competition, and that’s healthy for a market now if it looks like a needle vertically, you got a problem. This is when we move closer to Monopoly, where a process can only be down by one chain of services. No competition. This means, that one provider can do what he wants, as people are bound to this provider and have to make do. Cue price increases.
Vertical integration means making your services interoperable to a degree where other providers can’t keep up. If there’s no other providers, there’s no competition. Now you got a monopoly. That is what vertical integration is in it’s final form.
- Comment on We see what you're doing 2 months ago:
A lot of ppl just pretend that the Supreme Court already made up their mind, but honestly I’m not sure.
No honor among thieves.
Trump is now on the other side of the power imbalance and if they stick to Trump they can’t trust him and might eventually go down with his ship.
There’s a good chance they say “fk it, let’s get rid of him” so they can formerly make it look like they actually wanna be neutral and just stay in power, which in my opinion is the better move rationally (thinking as a psychopath).
So for me, there is a real choice to be made and I will stay invested. Also, the bond issues on his civil trial still stand iirc, so he’s got very slippery pockets and a few vultures are getting acquainted with his situation.
- Comment on Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well 2 months ago:
Always easy to say this in hindsight.
IRC is considered unsafe too to a certain degree with pirating folks.
Also let me emphasize this: for every discord server shut down like this, there are 100+ servers with almost the same purpose that still exist and will continue to for at least the next 3y.
If you are doing development as a hobby, you just don’t have the time to use a different system, get used to that system, and then critically convince everyone else to go there too. Just look at Lemmy, I want it to be great as well but we have to accept that a few tiny steps more in the day to say usability of a system can be the difference between Twitter and Mastodon. And before ppl are saying “well Twitter was there longer”, sure but that doesn’t mean we cannot see the trend for growth that does or doesn’t exist.

- Comment on Apple is reportedly planning a big AI-focused M4 Mac upgrade 2 months ago:
Unlike block chain, there is a solid chunk of new use cases to be conquered with AI. These might be very technical in nature, but for example, text suggestions on smartphones might already be done with AI, depending on your OS.
- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 2 months ago:
Ppl tend to sell Linux to new users, so let me make a reality check: gaming is possible on Linux, but in a limited sense, and it might cost time and sanity.
Some games work natively, some need a workaround, some require you to craft your own solution, and some straight up won’t.
The percentages shift, where there’s slightly more games working natively or requiring a basic workaround, but the baseline is the same.
- Comment on More and more people are ditching carrier roaming in favor of travel eSIMs 2 months ago:
But it doesn’t.
If you don’t have a deal with the carrier, don’t automatically connect to it. That is so dumb, (and it also smells illegal to some degree) cause in some cases it can happen on accident, and paying for things you specifically don’t want is a really shakey basis in law.
