- Comment on Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI 3 days ago:
Bold to assume that governments are capable of long term plans.
- Comment on What would have to happen to make everybody realize we weren't exaggerating when we said Trump would be like Hitler? 1 week ago:
There would be tours through the facilities, merch shops and a guy in a costume entertaining the visitors.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 4 weeks ago:
Dude I just listed some of the reasons WHY people want to keep on win10, and try to avoid being forced onto 11 - hence the lawsuit.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 4 weeks ago:
Win 11 is a downgrade with forced ms accounts, more ads, more distractions (tabloid “news”, weather, more ads, Microsoft own product ads) added to task bar, edge and notifications. On an OS I already paid money for!
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 5 weeks ago:
This is an UI issue. You could just show them a landing Page and ask them if they want this new feature, and then it installs the extension or not.
- Comment on AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day 5 weeks ago:
Even simple pages are now at least 1-2MB big. News pages without an ad blocker and Autoplay videos can easily try to download 10 or more MB per page load. On 56kbits dial up, 10MB will take about 25 mins in the best case.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 5 weeks ago:
Why not add this features as browser extension?

- Comment on Ancient food are absurdly complicated. 2 months ago:
People needed beer because the water was not always safe to drink. The alcohol in beer kills parasites and bacteria that might make you sick. Even kids drank light beer in medieval times for this reason.
- Comment on ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing 2 months ago:
If they would use lidar you would get speed and distance from surrounding objects, which seems like valuable data for a moving object. With cameras you get a 2d picture that can only guestimate distance with a multiple cameras and software.

Where does the coffee come out?
- Comment on 'I've been turned into an AI train announcer - and no one told me' 2 months ago:
Bro, do you really want to ruin tech bros because they would suddenly have to PAY for the data they use? Mark and Jeff would have to sell some of their yachts and Private jets to afford paying fair prices for AI data!

- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 2 months ago:
Lemmings for Amiga had a 2player split screen mode. Goal is to guide the most lemmings (yours and the other players) into your exit.

Buy out Elons worthless PayPal shares with 50 million in valuable pets.com and webvan shares. They can only go up at this point!

Which American companies actually manufacture displays, ram, CPUs, batteries etc. for cellphones in America?

The preferred term is “vibe coding” nowadays!
- Comment on I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount 2 months ago:
I look forward to learning more about how terrible these phones turn out.
It will be a bog standard white label china phone with android, a custom wallpaper and maybe some cover/protector like you can get on temu. It’s not like they develop their own hardware configuration, apps or phone os.
- Comment on AI company files for bankruptcy after being exposed as 700 Indian engineers - Dexerto 3 months ago:
AI stands for “actually indians”?
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 3 months ago:
Then what’s the point? If I deliver some code that gets right maybe 4/10 then my boss would tell me to get fucked and never deployed. Yet when companies slap an “AI” sticker on the same bad results it its somehow worth billions and the next hot thing.
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 3 months ago:
It’s absolutely not, because AI will just make up stuff, even if the email is just gibberish. I get assigned jira tasks where the manager tirs hist 8 word notes into a whole paragraph, except ai does not kow the context, problem or the product he is talking about and just generates some buzzword filler text that is 80% wrong.
- Comment on Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world 3 months ago:
Now, one place it’s more of a problem is in things like transformer windings. There are kilometers of wiring in any of them, so the higher resistance of aluminum is a problem.
Is it? As far as I know you can use a larger diameter wire to get the same resistance as copper, if your device has enough space for bigger coils.
- Comment on Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world 3 months ago:
In a lot of cases you can also use Aluminum instead of copper. You need thicker wires and it’s less flexible, but it’s doable and cheaper. Some old electric motors from the eastern block used aluminium coils for that matter, because copper was much more expensive there.

Remember the slaves with 12+ holidays a years, 20+ holidays, free healthcare, free education, free child care and price controls for rent and food and no billionaires?
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 3 months ago:
Yes, but if you have it as a Windows program it’s easier to configure on a screen with mouse and keyboard, change settings, display help files or give the source code to someone else to make changes or add features.
