  Didn’t Google Stadia do the cloud thing and failed miserably?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Learning to torrent is what greatly increased my computer literacy when I was a kid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo issues Switch 2 supply warning in Japan: 2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How many scalpers, also?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 19-year-old girl just received the world’s first wireless bionic hands controlled by thoughts⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Clickbait-ish title, the prothesis is not “mind controlled” but uses wireless electrodes that record muscle contraction. Cool tech, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How does Mint work with (old) NVIDIA drivers? I’m going to have to do the switch sometime this year and I am still debating which distro would give me the least troubles running games and applications via Proton / Wine.

  Yeah, well received but poorly marketed. I guess they are focusing on the wrong games.

  Helck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just found an interesting quote from buffy the vampire slayer for our technodystopia.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless you are a bot, interacting with orher bots. Damn, I feel old thinking how the internet used to be good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OneNote to perish alongside Windows 10.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  OneNote for office 2016 was a brilliant piece of software (for once). Then they gutted it out, moved it to the cloud and forced you to use the crappy win10 version.

  That’s more or less the time I switched my notes to Notion (first), then to Obsidian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because people don’t use discord for privacy. They use it for gaming, voice chat, communities and streaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sugar vs baking soda to neutralize acid in canned tomatoes?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live fairly up north and can confirm that fresh tomatoes do taste like water, even in summer.
