- Comment on Logitech is dropping support for its oldest Harmony remotes 5 days ago:
I’d imagine any company open-sourcing their code has to go through a pretty decent amount of re-written routines. Nvidia has been open-sourcing their drivers, but it’s been taking forever. I can only imagine how complex commenting GPU firmware must be.

This is the coolest shit I’ve seen all month. Just when you think the world is running out of interesting ideas, you come across something like this and realize you will never see it all.

I’ve always found this to be out of place at work. I get about 3-4 soliciting calls a day and they all lead with this line. All of our actual customers jump straight to business. “Hey. I was wondering if I could put in an order?”
I open with “Thank you for calling –. My name is –. What can I do for you today?”

- Comment on 3's grip looks the most comfy 1 week ago:
Okay. I’ve used all of these and 3 definitely writes the best and is the most comfortable, BUT, I’ve had more of these fail or explode halfway through a cartridge multiple times.
So I have to pick my good old 5 will carry me through battle and back and I’ll lose it long before it stops writing. Never had a bad time with a 5.

- Comment on GTA 5's free Enhanced PC update spoiled by missing in-game text chat, but it may only be temporary 4 weeks ago:
I can’t get over the car reflections and headlights. Those two are just never accurate in almost any game and they look stunning here. I even saw an accurate reflection of the street in an NPC’s sunglasses!
- Comment on GTA 5's free Enhanced PC update spoiled by missing in-game text chat, but it may only be temporary 4 weeks ago:
I booted up single player last night and the graphics updates are seriously impressive. It looks like every “Visuals Enhanced” mod merged into the correct result. None of the overblown “realism” tone mapping all the Reshade developers seem to go for.
- Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years? 4 weeks ago:
And that’s why if you’re in that position, you should have already shared your public key with them long in advance and your private key stays encrypted on an air-gapped laptop running Tails + CoreBoot. The message stays encrypted and you’re the only physical device and knowledge to decipher it.
But that all comes down to security vs convenience. I’m super glad passkeys are starting to become available in a lot more places. They’re super convenient and if you use a password manager responsibly with a hardware key, they’re just as secure as the locks on your house.
Which is to say, not very, because ultimately nothing beats a $5 wrench.

I would think mailing a flash drive with the key and sending the message electronically would be safer. One requires knowledge of the other.
- Comment on Traumatic stuff gives ChatGPT ‘anxiety,’ but therapy helps. 4 weeks ago:
It’s just mimicking the many previous conversations it’s been fed, probably a ton of which were personal conversations where the same things were happening. Nothing honestly surprising here, but maybe I’m jaded a bit as of late.

- Comment on Real-time AI voice technology alters accents in Indian call centers for better clarity 4 weeks ago:
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! I fucking HATE this idea. Let’s just encourage our fellow American to get even more used to hearing cracker voices everywhere. Sorry to Bother You was a prediction, not a satire.
I get so pissed when people are so dense they can’t take the effort to understand and listen to their fellow human. I find it so insanely rude to ask to speak to “someone who speaks English” or “an American”.
From my experiences in tech, the American agents aren’t any smarter. People just aren’t willing to just treat the person in the other end with respect.

I’m clinging to my SE. It’s the last small phone made by anyone other than Chinese no-names. I will be sad when it’s no longer viable as an option.
