  Yeah, but that one has issues with exhaustion, needs breaks now and then… oh, wait, neurons need that too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMD's new RX 9000 GPUs only officially support UEFI systems⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  All graphics cards interface with BIOS/UEFI when the system initializes

  I mean, yes, but that’s the Bios/uefi asking “what type of hardware are you, what are your capabilities, etc” and not the other way around.

  It needed Xposed framework and worked only on some devices, which are not available anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah and that’s why it’s one of the basics of the basics you learn as a software developer that you shouldn’t sniff the useragent, because it’s unreliable and causes issues. Yet all big webpages (especially those pretending to be a software) do it, causing issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  But captchas have now proven useless, since bots are better at solving them now than humans?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  So make useragent sniffing useless by all being Chrome?

  ensure that your printer doesn’t produce toxic aerosols or fumes

  But they do? I literally got sick after i spent a day in a small room with a big office printer. And each printer makes my skin itchy, if printing in close proximity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Now i had to put on the in-ears, hook up to phone to… listen to a guy talking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Go with a bottle printer, or at least a laser. Cartridges suck, literally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, $300 was for the current flagship back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There were benefits to the comically-large form factor, though. Touch keyboards worked significantly better with larger screens,

  No, the tiny soft-keyboard on my old Galaxy Xcover is significantly easier to type.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Vs. 1 day less work with the same pay being more productive. But it’s not about work-live-balance or productivity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or if you hire more personel. Overtime work is more expensive anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm? Paypal redirects work for me, even in my browsing profile with trimmed useragent and strict same-origin/cookie policy. This one was never a problem, even if no other webäpp worked. Seems they have good fallbacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - LadybirdBrowser/ladybird: Truly independent web browser⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Toxic workplaces being toxic. That said, workplace monitoring is mostly not allowed here.

  Lol, no.
