  Nothing phone 2a. I like the lights on the back :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When you put grapheneOS on it it is, and until Motorola releases their phones designed for it it’s the primary option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Minecraft, Warframe and old school Runescape.

  Everything else I’ve loved over the years has fallen out of favour with me, but I’ll happily dive into those 3 for a few hundred hours again

  The more people that know how to bypass it the better. All it takes, for YouTube at least, is a high quality video of someone speaking to the camera.

  Break all the age verification systems, bypass anything, be free.

  Happens often in English even if it isn’t the default. Chasm and school for example.

  YouTube tried to age verify me and couldn’t do it using the card I’ve been paying them with, so I figured I’d let people know you can beat YouTube’s selfie age verification with high resolution videos. I used a 4k video of Evan Edinger and it just accepted that was me, despite being a mediocre phone camera aimed at what should clearly be a screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Spoon normally, any cake I stab with a fork falls off so I might as well use a spoon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The photo verification works on videos, I took a selfie of a 4k video and it worked. Just used a guys video on yt where he was talking to the camera

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  YouTube’s can be broken and that’s the only one I cared about. I guess steam would be an issue if they tried it.

  Pretty sure anything else I can easily just bail on.

  That’s why you take them out afterwards

  Went to buy my replacement Bluetooth speaker from the same company my last one was from.

  They don’t ship to Australia, Amazon was literally the only option.

  Smoke inhalation yes burning no

  Cut it in half and push it over (3x) early in the morning?

  Danger noodle is for non venemous and nope rope is for venemous

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve definitely hit 16 hr days before for gaming but it’s rare as hell. Warframe, Runescape and Minecraft are probably the only 3 to hit that peak, and I’m definitely not a functioning human during that time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got flagged as a minor, despite an old account. They would not accept my card that I pay for premium with as a valid card. It’s valid enough to pay them the stupid fucks.

  You can do the selfie thing, except use a 4k video of someone talking to the screen and it’ll probably work. I used an Evan Edinger video, scanned that and passed fairly easily. AI probably works if you can get a high fidelity image but all the free ones are well under 1080p and just don’t really register.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does Clevo still make the fat laptops? My last was one of theirs and it was almost as thick as my fore arm. It also weighed a ton but on the plus side insanely easy disassembly. I probably should’ve got another one, my MSI is shit to open

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t have a high end laptop option when I was shopping. If they want my money I expect an 80 series equivalent in my laptop. If not, I’ll probably just end up with a 7080 or 7090 if NVIDIA still does it then.

  Is a middle click even an option on a touchpad? I get annoyed that I can’t even right click hold and then left click. Rip fishing minigames on trackpad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft sets Copilot agents loose on your OneDrive files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Im saying it’s easy and not a thing you have to repeat. I’ve disabled the windows shit the same as every other process that likes to just drain my internet as it feels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft sets Copilot agents loose on your OneDrive files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that hard to stop windows, there are programs that block internet access by process, and windows only has so many of them. One drive doesn’t boot on my PC, and if edge tried to open it auto-fails because edge is offline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s funny hearing Americans say they hate liberals, and me being able to agree except meaning the exact opposite. Liberal party is right wing for me lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actual theft ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely buy YouTube premium, have had it for a few years. But I also use it a ton instead of Netflix or Amazon or anything else. I figure at a minimum of 50 hours a week on YouTube I should probably pay for it, even at the like $20 AUD a month or whatever it’s climbed to at this point, and creators get a % of my premium money so that supports people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s Runescape 3,except they are removing it all. Osrs has membership (effectively required for the game) and you can buy bonds so other players can buy membership with in game money. That’s it.
