- Comment on I just realized some people LIKE talking to each other. 19 hours ago:
There are people that I’ve worked with like this. One their cell phone and desk phone plus talking to a person in the office, still able to listen for alerts in the shop. Seriously impressive.

It’s only a matter of time before one of these starts spawning another company’s agent that’s known to be better and just comes back with the results taking credit.

- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 4 days ago:
I guess I have to put my foot in my mouth over a comment I made a month or so back. I had said an XBOX handheld would sell out against the Steam Deck simply due to brand recognition.
This was of course before I thought they’d be dumb enough to make a console twice as expensive aimed at the mass market. If this was targeted at the same price as the Deck, they might have had a chance.
I don’t know anyone that would consider one of these now.

- Comment on YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process 6 days ago:
That’s just it. Someone might not realize that all that info was passed to the server when it failed if they weren’t thinking about it. They’d just correct their mistake and move on with their day, especially if they’re new to server administration as I’m sure many Lemmy admins would be.
- Comment on Financially rewarding and you will always have a job 1 week ago:
There’s other hand-craft trades that don’t involve sewage. If you get into the commercial space, there’s a good chance you’d deal with it a lot less if at all since they would need a specialist for biohazards.
- Comment on The GameStop stapler that punctured a Switch 2 screen on launch day is being auctioned off for charity 1 week ago:
Yeah, even if it’s a big brand attachment or whatever, I’m never going to complain about a big charity donation. (as long as it’s not a bogus charity, of course)
- Comment on The GameStop stapler that punctured a Switch 2 screen on launch day is being auctioned off for charity 1 week ago:
I don’t think the person surrendering $120,000 actually cares about the console so much as they’re donating to charity.

- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 1 week ago:
realistic surgery
lifelike patient
I wonder how doctors could compare this simulation to a real surgery. I’m willing to bet it’s “realistic and lifelike” in the way a 4D movie is.
Biological creatures don’t follow perfect patterns you have all sorts of unexpected things happen. I was just reading an article about someone whose entire organs are mirrored from the average person.
Nothing about humans is “standard”.
- Comment on Now You Can Buy In-Game DLC And Pay It Off Later 1 week ago:
Or just don’t finance any non-essential purchase. The idea of financing anything smaller than a couple thousand dollars is just wild to me.

Having used these mice, you can get through the day with like a 2-minute charge, then leave it overnight to cover the next few months.
- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 1 week ago:
I worked in one of these companies. Within months, we went from a company I would be proud to recommend to friends to a service I would never use myself, just due to the horrendous route they took to hire overseas support.
The line of tech work I was in required about a month of training after passing the interview process, and even then you had to take a test at the end to prove you’d absorbed the material before you ever spoke to a customer.
When they outsourced, they just bought a company of like 30 people in an adjacent industry and gave them a week of training. Our call queues were never worse and every customer was angry with everyone by the time they talked to someone who had training.
I don’t blame the overseas agents. I blame all the companies that treat them like cattle.
- Comment on Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space. 1 week ago:
That’s why I always liked approaches that use a physical machine that has to stay in one place for an extended period of time. Quantum Break’s hard sci-fi approach to this was fascinating and kept making me reconsider how the time loop worked. Highly recommended for time loop nerds like me.

- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this was my first thought. How many slightly older, no-longer-being-updated pieces of software will fail to open the new version? Hopefully it’s built in a way that it just falls back to legacy and ignores the extra information so you can at least load the file.

Interesting. Almost all of what makes him look better comes down to angle and lighting. Other than that, he just has longer hair and tanner skin.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 2 weeks ago:
I’ve just had my gaming PC hooked up to my living room TV for the last several years. I have a lower power desktop on my room for anything that isn’t gaming. I can’t imagine buying one of the modern consoles just for their limitations alone.
Plus I just wait a few years and 95% of the explained make their way to PC anyway.

- Comment on Poop In A Box 3 weeks ago:
That was not the loophole. That only applies to Sonny who was the only one capable of ignoring the 3 laws. The main computer (Vicky I think?) is the one who comes to the “we must enslave the humans to save the humans” conclusion all on her own.
- Comment on Having a big memory card was such a flex 3 weeks ago:
This is the first I’ve heard of this. We didn’t get our PS2 until a year or so after it came out. This would have driven me absolutely mad.
- Comment on Everyone thinks their condition normal before finding out it's not. 3 weeks ago:
Goddamn. I’ve gone my whole life thinking that was just something I had to deal with. Now to figure out a way to get the treatment done, which is apparently a single shot for a lot of people.

- Comment on Lies of P: Overture devs actually rewarded for making a solid DLC in rare industry W: Getting a bonus, 2 weeks vacation, and a free Switch 2 3 weeks ago:
I agree with all of your points, but if we don’t even shine a positive light on steps in the right direction, then what are we supposed to do? Wait until we’re in a utopia, then start acknowledging improvements?
This isn’t a perfect final solution, but it’s a positive step, so is still say worth celebrating.
- Comment on For considerably less than the price of the Super Deluxe Edition of Boarderlands 4. I have almost all of Assassins Creed on one box. 3 weeks ago:
Well, that would make sense since they’re traditionally tech showcases. They were huge when they were first coming out due to the parkour and melee combat alone. They’ve certainly aged over time, but I’d say anything after IV holds up well in terms of gameplay loop. The earlier ones can be rough around the edges if you don’t have nostalgia for them.
