- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 5 hours ago:
This game was on track to be forgotten
Game is just outside the top 50 on steam and had a major content release at the end of June. This ‘game is dying’-because-it-didn’t-indefinitely sustain-player-counts-in-the-top-10 meme is dumb as hell.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 3 weeks ago:
Guys selling something claim it will make you taller and thinner, your dick bigger, your mother in law stop calling, and work as advertised.
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 3 weeks ago:
Honestly AAA studios don’t even exist anymore. Is there any gaming studio making multipe $60 games per year you can name where you would vouch for the quality of their games solely on the basis of who made it?
Maybe some first party console games(and even then only some series), but nothing for PC.
- Comment on Upgrading cheap/old computer 1 month ago:
I expect they will not be worth it as they’re too underpowered for your specific use case. (I’m assuming your use case is hosting complex physical similations for a major university physics department and the old computer you’re considering on Amazon is a used version of this one or something similar.)
For my home server I use whatever old PC I have laying around already.

- Comment on Signal downplays encryption key flaw, fixes it after X drama 2 months ago:
“The database key was never intended to be a secret. At-rest encryption is not something that Signal Desktop is currently trying to provide or has ever claimed to provide,” responded the Signal employee.
Tl:dr Signal is ‘insecure’ in the same way your mail is ‘insecure’ after you’ve opened it and it’s sitting on your counter. What, you don’t keep you mailed locked up inside you own house just in case someone breaks in?
- Comment on Sony is killing off recordable Blu-ray, bidding farewell to disc burning | TechSpot 2 months ago:
It’s mostly family photos and videos. I’ve become the de facto family digital archivist. Some digital copies of important phyiscal records. When you convert files to lossless/uncompressed formats suitable for long term storage they get large really quickly.
- Comment on Sony is killing off recordable Blu-ray, bidding farewell to disc burning | TechSpot 2 months ago:
I use BD-R for archival storage of important files. They’re cheaper and easier than tape as well as small. I burn them in triplicate and throw them in the same case and as long as the same 3 bits don’t corrupt I can recover. The shelf life on a blue ray sealed and stored well is a few decades which is better than most other media.
