6, 7 if Bluetooth speaker outside doesn’t count as boombox, because my speaker is a box and it booms, but it’s not called that.
- Comment on YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide. 1 week ago:
It takes me 10 seconds to remove internet access from yet another windows process, it takes weeks if not months to re-download the 2 point something TB of games I have installed.
People who have a real internet connection need another excuse but my internet isnt good for 2005, let alone 2025.
- Comment on Does not having a (mainstream) social media account make you look suspicious to the authorities? Is it a good idea to have an innocent looking social media account just to look "normal"? 1 week ago:
I know they do phone checks at airports, but that’s for international travel and not sure it’s relevant to OPs concerns.

My phone will correct ducking to fucking but if I want to type ducking I have to correct it
- Comment on Why don’t brands make simpler names? 1 week ago:
For the ryzen 7 9700x I have the answer. Ryzen is the brand name, 7 is where it stacks up, the 7 in the 9700 says where it lines up vs other ryzen 7s in the 9000 series.
USB can suck a fat one.
The pro title is like the ‘performance’ version of cars. Sometimes it matters and there’s a lot of difference, Hyundai N is not the same as normal Hyundai. Sometimes it’s just a slight aesthetic difference. The title is to sell it not to be clear and accurate, normally. Some pro phones are definitely higher performing, others are almost identical.
I have no answers for Sony, outside of my area of knowledge, same for monitors.

Escape, open to lan. autodetected by other Minecraft clients on the network and works modded without issues. You can enable cheats (or not) by default every time you open it again.

I think the proper word would be paranoid, but also not a huge concern unless you are doing something about it or trying to apply for a job at a US agency.

- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 1 month ago:
I use an app for OTR (petrol chain in Aus) and they’ve removed the requirement for location which is… Unexpected, to say the least. Anything except using the pumps on the app no longer needs it when all orders previously needed it.

Thou = though in this case I think.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 1 month ago:
Run Minecraft and YouTube twice over.
Figure once over is why I moved to 32, so twice over might need more.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 1 month ago:
I do the same. Spare tabs are bad and drain data.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
The top link of the search was a bulbapedia list of every Pokemon ordered by weight. It’s not like it couldn’t have gotten it. It’s a static list, the old answers won’t change.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
It has an answer that isn’t up for debate. It’s celesteela and cosmoem. Both of them. They weigh the same.
Saying one weighs more is just wrong.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
It’s still wrong and it even has the information in its own chat to know it is wrong. It’s literally contradicting itself.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
Asking what the heaviest anything is isn’t subjective at all? Like, not even a tiny bit.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
Because that’s double the sentence to type for a question. It’s on my search thing that is meant to be for facts. I type the minimum sentence and the normal search works perfectly fine as it always has.
Celesteela is tied first with cosmoem apparently. Searching for a list of heaviest Pokemon (typed heaviest Pokemon list) got gpt bing to respond with a list of Pokemon that are not the heaviest. Was looking for the actual list on a site, which the top link was but the AI ignored the top results of the search and spit out exclusively wrong answers.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
I don’t put effort in a 30 line question with a ton of specific stuff. I just ask it a question.
What is the heaviest Pokemon?
That’s it. And then it goes and finds a Pokemon that isn’t the heaviest now, and at no point in the series was it ever the heaviest.
If I need multiple lines and clarification and stuff, that makes it worse than just finding it myself.
Btw heaviest Pokemon is a many way tie as the weights don’t go over 999.9kg.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
I just asked it what the heaviest Pokemon was, and it said wailord. I dont care about what it uses as a source as long as it’s right.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
Ive also tried using it for old games but at the time it said wailord was the heaviest Pokemon (the blimp whale in fact does not weigh more than the sky scraper).
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
Only time I told it to be factual was looking at 4k laptops, it gave me 5 laptops, 4 marked as 4k, 0 of the 5 were actually 4k.
That was last year though so maybe it’s improved by now

How did you manage to actually use bing gpt? I’ve tried like 20 times and it’s wrong the majority of the time
- Comment on PayPal owns brands like Venmo, Honey and is heavily integrated into eBay - if you're looking to stop giving your money to bad companies, take a second to search their subsidiary brands as well. 1 month ago:
I work in a servo/convenience store and about 3/4 of our drink fridges (all 10 or so doors worth) are the same 4 brands. Probably most of the store is covered under like 7 brands.
Coke, Pepsi, Schweppes, Nestle, Unilever and there goes almost everything edible and drinkable that isn’t fresh.
- Comment on Does bong water count as cold brewed tea? 1 month ago:
I promise you not every cone is 100% burned when it hits the water. I don’t know how much of the ashes pass through either, there’s definitely a lot in the water.
- Comment on Does bong water count as cold brewed tea? 1 month ago:
The water is entirely based on the temperature outside. There’s like 400ml of water, and that would take forever to heat up with a lighter.
