  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game over⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nomenclature⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨YSK facts about renewable vs fossil, and more⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Watched it earlier, they aren’t joking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tacos for dinner⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that broccoli? I thought it was 2 bits of chicken under what looks like some sort of cheese.

  Trash serving size on top of it all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an expensive hour of fuck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it fits...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  6 inches away from the curb? Fuck that. Tyres going in the gutter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨YSK that in most countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Americans die in rising numbers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Boost does as well, little chick popping out of an egg

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Using boost, it’s fairly reliable and I enjoy it.

• ⁨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'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend has ADHD and 300 tabs. I’m pretty sure they are related.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make me confused using your country culture, norm, news, art or even social interactions on social media.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m Aussie and work retail, people answer the question even when you don’t ask it.

  ‘whatcan I get for you today?’

  ‘good thank you’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not 10%? I thought tencents thing was they just have a 10% share in an absurd amount of stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dating profile⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With literally 0 research I can confidently say the answer is yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These should be brought back⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My 2008 still has one. As far as I can tell it’s never been used, and the ash tray is pristine and unused, but it’s got one.
