  minimum wage, minimum effort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardware upgrade recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  if you can’t get your haswell qsv to work (it does here, btw) and need to make a move…

  at that budget (100gbp ~ 120eur ~ 125usd), your best play might be the cheapest, lowest wattage video card you can find that works with your software and supports at least the encoding you need (if not also newer formats).

  you might find something like an alder lake n-series barebones mini pc or itx/matx board/cpu (might not be a ‘drop in’ swap in your t20) for something at least close what you’re looking to spend. anything else for 100 quid is probably gonna be surplus or used stuff you can find locally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  shred amazon all you want–they nearly always deserve it… but the article from the local paper is incomplete.

  we don’t know if the worker is even eligible for leave under fmla or from amazon employee benefits, nor do we know why the workplace denied the request.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s effective, timely, accurate, and profitable.

  ofc they’re gonna use the audio, too; where and when possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it would solve world hunger, what would be the largest item you could fit in your ass?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  it’ll blow a door, drop an engine, and veer off-course before crashing, long before it got to ya.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨79% of Americans feel burned out as they put most vacation time toward errands, doctor visits, and family care⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i haven’t had an honest-to-goodness real vacation… ya know, the whole bit. planning ahead, to a ‘destination’ of some sort, at least a long weekend away, and no work or family obligations… in my entire adult life. the last time i was even out-of-state for more than a single day at a time was a week-long trip to bury my mother. that was almost 20 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russian state owner says cargo ship blast was 'terrorist attack'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  terrorists. ya, probably. perhaps actually something like this:

  the terrorist state of russia blew up and sank the ship to hide something they didn’t want found had it gone to a port outside of russia’s control for repairs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft confirms showing two new ads on Windows 11, calls them "notifications"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  probably because you’ve already turned off the ‘features’ that show them.

  that lockscreen crap can be turned off, too, btw.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$1K a month is a good deal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  and that $1k a month increases with inflation, and then some, and then with executives’ desires for bigger mansions, luxury cars, yachts and exotic vacations, too. what a deal!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable ISPs compare data caps to food menus: Don’t make us offer unlimited soup⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  a few cents per month per megabit/sec is what their ‘cost’ is to provide the pipe and bandwidth to a subscriber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon probably wants to buy (US) Tiktok and merge it with Xitter.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  he and tesla have substantial crypto holdings; pump that shit some more and he’ll be able to buy it with funny money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon probably wants to buy (US) Tiktok and merge it with Xitter.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  estimated value of ~ $30-100 billion, depending on if key pieces of proprietary tech (essentially their algorithms) are included.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's free Bing Wallpaper app for Windows is borderline malware⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t even bother with wallpapers anymore.

  if i’m using the pc, its display is covered in ‘stuff’–programs, windows, whatever and i can’t see the pretty pictures anyway,

  if i’m not using it, the pc (or at least the display) is (or will be very soon) snoozing or powered off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz wants to overhaul $42B broadband program, nix low-cost requirement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  the overpriced orbital pollution that’s already over-saturated in many regions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump’s FCC chair is Brendan Carr, who wants to regulate everyone except ISPs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  can’t do shit right now with a 3-2 democrat majority, at least.

  and your future boss’ scotus already ruled agencies can’t do shit without congress, and congress ain’t getting any substantial legislation done for at least the next two years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will sucession still be applicable? Like Vance the new pres and Johnson the new VP?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  the haters, the racists, the sexists, the homophobes, the gun fondlers, the diesel fume huffers, and the bible thumpers vote repulbican every. single. time.

  too many democrats jump ship and stay home, vote for the no chance party, or republican if a candidate doesn’t support every little policy and issue they want or who supports something they don’t. even if the fate of the nation and democracy is at stake, they’ll abandon reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never change, Internet. Check out his new title⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
