- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCsDell is now shifting it focus this year away from being ‘all about the AI PC.’ 3 days ago:
The OS vendor gets to run classification on all of your pictures, documents, and software.
Not on Linux
- Comment on NVIDIA To Bring Back The GeForce RTX 3060 In Q1 2026 To Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages 6 days ago:
A new age of hyper-optimisation would be so awesome.
No, just basic and regular optimization. There are plenty of talented devs with YouTube channels that have shown that most AAA games are horrendously optimized, and in some cases can see 2x or even 3x+ performance gains with proper optimization.
- Comment on Microsoft's Satya Nadella wants you to stop saying AI "slop" in 2026 1 week ago:
Well, then Microsoft should stop shoving AI slop into all its products. Windows Agentic AI Slop is something no one asked for.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 1 week ago:
Not sure what to tell you, but a Mac is the last platform to go to for gaming. Apple has zero interest in gaming and have made the platform virtually hostile to gaming development.
Steam regularly has sales (really good sales, like under $5) for fairly modern games (within the last 10 years).
Wait for a sale on something like an AMD Beelink and use that.

- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 2 weeks ago:
Even on an 8gb or 16gb system Windows uses over 4gb on a fresh boot. At 4gb it’s going to be swapping to fish non-stop. The disk will be thrashed and be dead in a year of use.

It wanted me to make an Embark Studios account. And yes that is a big deal.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
You are aware that you see beforehand whether the game requires a separate account (at least on Steam)?
No, because as I indicated in my post, I didn’t buy it. I installed it from someone else’s account within my family group.
Also, how else would you enable crossplay/crosssave?
I don’t know, but not my concern.
And you don’t even need to use separate credentials. You can log in with Steam just fine.
Not according to the prompt I was shown.

I installed Arc Raiders from my family sharing group, fired it up then closed it and uninstalled it as soon as it says I need to create YET ANOTHER account just to play this game.
I’m done creating an account for every single game.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 4 weeks ago:
One million seconds is 11.5 days, one billion seconds is 31.7 years, and one telling seconds is 31,700 years.
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 4 weeks ago:
pay extra over the TVs subsidized by ads.
Let’s be very clear, they are not and never were “subsidised by ads”. Ads just became a new way to extract more money from customers.

What’s a “death pick”?
- Comment on Hurray! This German State Decides to Save €15 Million Each Year By Kicking Out Microsoft for Open Source 4 weeks ago:
No no, I know what you’re implying, I was implying that the link doesn’t prove what you think it does. I’m assuming you fixated on the Munich project, and that is a convoluted story and the Wikipedia entry on that is not up to date. The latest on the Munich project is that they cancelled the switch back to Windows.
- Comment on Hurray! This German State Decides to Save €15 Million Each Year By Kicking Out Microsoft for Open Source 4 weeks ago:
What exactly are you trying to prove with that Wikipedia link? If anything it shows relatively wide adoption of Linux.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 4 weeks ago:
Seems like you understand the original meaning already.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 4 weeks ago:
annoying idiots saying “unused memory is wasted memory,”
The original intent of this saying was different, but ya it’s been co-opted into something else
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 5 weeks ago:
I maintain open source projects too, and I fully understand the burnout, the pressure from supporters and such.
Then you should know better than most that your wording and approach matters.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 5 weeks ago:
For the love, as a Plex alternative, they don’t even have a native app on all major tv stores. It should be a P1 feature.
Are you really bitching this hard about a completely free and open source project?
It’s not technology or finances that kill most FOSS projects and burn out the devs. It’s this kind of shitty entitled unappreciative demanding attitude from users.
As others have pointed out, there are fully functional and good quality frontends available, such as Swiftfin.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 5 weeks ago:
Once Jellyfin can do that or something similar
Once Jellyfin does that then it’ll be time to look at jumping ship to something else, because that’ll be the indication that Jellyfin is going down the same road as Plex.
- Comment on China has planted so many trees it's changed the entire country's water distribution 5 weeks ago:
I wonder how much of that percentage is influenced by those areas China was spray painting green to make it look like a forest
- Comment on Linux usage hits an all-time high in Steam Hardware Survey—and AMD processors continue their march against Intel 5 weeks ago:
It’s 3.2% of Steam Linux installs. The actual number is higher.
- Comment on Flights disrupted after Airbus discovers intense sun radiation could impact flight control data 1 month ago:
As the sun rotates, the area that throws out these solar flares slowly faces toward the earth (solar maximum) then slowly rotates to face away from the earth (solar minimum). The solar cycle is roughly eleven years long.
This doesn’t have anything to do with the sun’s rotation. It actually rotates once every 28 days. The solar maximum and solar minimum are just phases in activity caused by internal activity.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
if Plex enshittifies.
Anyone want to break the news?
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264
In some scenarios, it can. Generally I’d say it’s about a 20-30% reduction in size.
- Comment on Bossware rises as employers keep closer tabs on remote staff 1 month ago:
No, I like “bossware”. It tells you exactly what it is. It’s “spyware from your boss”.
- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 1 month ago:
Vibe coding is basically yoloing the output and running it without checking anything.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 2 months ago:
And not all anti-cheat is malware. I was referring to the kernel level anti-cheats.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 2 months ago:
As of now, you have to make an effort to find a game that won’t work through Proton, aside from games with malware (anti-cheat).
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 2 months ago:
much of it details technical reasons why digital is much much better than analog for intelligent systems
For current LLMs there would be a massive gain in energy efficiency if analogue computing was used. Much of the current energy costs come from stimulating what effectively analogue processing on digital hardware. There’s a lot lost in the conversation, or “emulation” of analogue.
