- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 1 day ago:
I remember seeing a clip a long time ago of someone asking Gates how much a banana is and he was like… 5$?
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 4 days ago:
on Notion: aren’t the desktop clients just electron apps anyway? The website is really solid from my useage.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 4 days ago:
KDE Connect was rock solid when I was testing it out with an S24u. The only real issue I had with it was that it was missing RCS (RCS is locked down to only proprietary google messages/iMessage systems) and a seamless way to go from desktop notification to SCRCPY/screen mirroring.
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 6 days ago:
I think the biggest draw to Synology now is the ultra low power consumption. Yeah, you could totally repurpose an old PC, but it’s crazy to run 500W perpetually. The reason they use old Celeron processors is the low power draw. In time, hopefully, RISC V can produce some low cost systems that would slot in well for this use case.
- Comment on Switch 2 game-key cards won’t be account- or console-locked 2 weeks ago:
How long do we reckon until they figure out the decryption keys and Switch 2 games become piratable on stock hardware?
- Comment on What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses? 4 weeks ago:
you should definitely request your data to be deleted before it’s too late
- Comment on Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell 1 month ago:
third year was my favorite as well; it was easily the most compelling story and makes the death of Sirius that much more painful in 6

Issue with waiting for the R2/3 is that the tax credits will probably be gone by then.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 1 month ago:
The issue is that the alternatives generally aren’t that much better in a vacuum. Infotainment vs Tesla infotainment (removing the CarPlay merits): It’s not even close, Tesla is like 10-15 years ahead of everything else on the US market in their price range. Car manufacturers famously lock in their tech and designs something like 3 years before public release.
Will there be meaningful software updates for your Kia EV6 in 2028? Absolutely not, no way.
Do you want to tow anything more than 1000Kg? Good luck outside of Tesla.
NACS? Not one single other car available yet.
Do you want a dashcam? Rivian is the only other brand, IIRC.
I’m not apologizing for Tesla, but it’s really painful how awfulall other cars are compared to the competition.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 1 month ago:
Not necessarily Carl Benz himself, but the company has been litigated and has been proven to have had ties to the nazi regime. I’m not arguing that Mercedes was founded on Nazi values, I’m just saying there was a connection and a less than stellar history.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 1 month ago:
Everyone forgets where the German cars, Henry Ford, etc came from politically.
I was looking into my first EV, and politics just didn’t weigh that much into the decision. Now, the “infotainment as a perpetual service”, that turned me off and away from Tesla. With CarPlay my car dash will never lose service, and will always be free to use with updates from Apple/Google. I can’t imagine why people would ever pay for their infotainment when CarPlay is better or equal in all cases to the alternative.
- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 2 months ago:
to anyone reading this comment:
I strongly recommend going to this government website and checking out the superfund sites located in your area. If you live anywhere east of the Mississippi, your chances of living near or not far from an illegal dumping site are really high.

He’s South African, he can’t be President lol.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 6 months ago:
I quit RuneScape in 2011ish after squeal of fortune introduced legacy loot. I’m sorry, but for a game that was all about 100% completion, making loot legacy and unobtainable if you didn’t gamble for it was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
