The businesses that advertise on Facebook are mostly scams from what I have seen. For them the ads work, and they have no reputation to lose.

- Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles 1 week ago:
The problem is that batteries must meet a whole set of other criteria as well to be competitive, for example cost and energy density. If they are not mentioned, they are probably worse in that aspect. Which just means they are still useful for some applications, just maybe not for cars, laptops or cellphones.
- Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months 1 week ago:
Also: Laptops are shit. On Windows, the tau is so bad that the cores are throttled straight after boot because the cooling is rubbish. It almost never hits full speed. It can’t survive more than 40 minutes on a full battery.
That’s the reason I have not bought a new laptop in years. Everything must be as thin as possible because apple did it. Fuck that. I want my laptop as thick as a brick to have enough cooling for CPU, GPU and a 6l V8 engine, and a battery that will outlast the sun!

- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 5 weeks ago:
In the past, people assumed computers would get much easier to use. But instead you now need a comp aci degree to turn off all the BS Microsoft intentionally added to make your PC experience worse.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Look how much a Chromebook costs. Amazon can afford to sell them at a loss now, if they can charge you $20/month later or so, stuff ads into everything or bundle it with other Amazon services to make it appear like. Good deal. The question is not “how much can we make on this hardware”, but "how much can we get from the customer over 5 years.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
They will sell it like streaming services or printers and ink. The first Amazon PC is free, then the subscription price and amount of ads go up. Eventually people will stick because all their files are there, and their Amazon PC does not support mass storage devices like USB sticks to download all of their work.

- Comment on Is there a science educator who shows in a video how they hand wash dishes? 1 month ago:
To hand wash dishes, fill the sink with some water and a bit soap. Then take one dish, clean in the sink, wash, rinse with some warm fresh water, put it away to dry. Start cleaning the the non greasy dishes like glasses, coffee cups, then move on to the dirtier and greasy dishes. Empty the sink if the water gets to dirty. For dirty dishes you need hot water to get them clean, otherwise the grease won’t disolve. Leave the dishes out to air dry for 1 to 2h, but must cutlery must be hand dried otherwise you might get spots on them.

YouTube did nothing to it, why would they, it’s their dream business model.

Nope. Install metube on your PC. Give it the link to your YouTube music playlist. It will download the playlist into your local folder in the background. Install syncthing and it will push your music folder to your backups and phone. To add new songs, simply save it on YouTube to your music playlist.

- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 month ago:
In web development it’s impossible to remember all functions, parameters, syntax and quirks for PHP, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, vue.js, CSS and whatever else code exists in this legacy project. AI really helps when you can divide your tasks into smaller steps and functions and describe exactly what you need, and have a rough idea how the resulting code should work.
