Everyone with eyes.
- Comment on end times are here 1 week ago:
It does not fail. Every kid knows his name, so he can rip them of before their costomers lean how banks work, and how to spot good deals or red flags. Every video he makes will be an ad for his bank on the YouTube homepage.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 week ago:
They seem to use infrared and or NFC for data exchange. I tried to read the NFC data with a phone app, however the data seems to be either encrypted, or it was some sort of image blob file that is shown on the display. You can read something, but it’s not as trivial as reading other NFC tags.
- Comment on Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner 2 weeks ago:
This has been debunked before. To get 1000liter of water out of the air, the air needs to hold that much water.

Amazon does not want to enforce this. By the time one seller is banned, 10 new accounts sell the same thing again.
- Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 1 month ago:
I think enshitification is a product of public traded companies promising infinite growth, not necessarily a problem of US only companies.
- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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? 2 months 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.
They could still cut the crap without change in revenue. People would just click on other videos instead of AI Slop.

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.
