- Comment on Ultra-rare unreleased Pentium 4 with 4.0 GHz clock speed discovered — CPU-Z confirms it is an Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 980 20 hours ago:
Reminds me of school we got the new pentiums 2 with 300mhz back in the day, in an very compact case with very small fans, with our computer room under the roof, windows facing towards midday sun. In summer at around 2pm one after the other PC went into thermal shutdown, with maybe 5 of 20 PCs still running by rpm. Opening windows did not help.
- Comment on TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill 2 weeks ago:
Ok, but didn’t they buy Myspace when it was already getting less popular and a lot of people had switched to Facebook?
- Comment on GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago 2 weeks ago:
Online ist dead. 5 mins in and I’m getting headshots from a guy across the map with a K:D of 3000:1. Everything online costs real money or endless grind. Waiting for 15 mins in a lobby, only that the host logs out 2 mins into the mission.
- Comment on Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI 3 weeks ago:
Bold to assume that governments are capable of long term plans.

- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 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.

- 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!

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 3 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 The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 4 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 4 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 4 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 4 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.
