- Comment on WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen stock traders where everyone on the floor had half that many. A few of them had 9.
When they’re looking up trades or news, they open a ridiculous number of windows while doing research.
They have 4 screens just to watch the markets and handle in-house controls.
What’s striking about this is the amount of whitespace on the screens. They are only using 1/2 - 1/4 of their screen space.

Yeah, if they could keep you out of it, that would be different. Wonder what happens if you don’t have internet.
- Comment on Waymo relies on firefighters and police to bail out stuck robotaxis | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
I love it, but it’s all fun and games until someone makes a self driving towtruck.
- Comment on Waymo relies on firefighters and police to bail out stuck robotaxis | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
ohh no no. When Police call a tow truck, the tow company comes, takes the vehicle off to a lot and the owner has to come to collect it, generally with cash.
I’m not saying just do it maliciously, but if they’re asked to drive the car off, they should just block it and call a tow company.
Waymo pays for that toe and an outlandish amount of daily fees until they pick it up.
To them, it’s no big deal, a few hundred dollars.
but compound that with the car being out of service for a few days. hiring someone, or flying someone in to unlock it… easy peasy
- Comment on Waymo relies on firefighters and police to bail out stuck robotaxis | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
win-win, tow companies fill their lots with waymo, people from waymo need to come get the car, pay hundreds in cash (because all those places are cash only) there’s no room in the lot for normal tows.
The passengers should get free rides for a year.
- Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case 3 weeks ago:
Super small compared to their income, but a GREAT reason to make all the users age validate.
- Comment on Waymo relies on firefighters and police to bail out stuck robotaxis | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
sounds like they needed to call a tow truck…
- Comment on Newly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart features 3 weeks ago:
And if I don’t want to use their smart features?
this seems like it might be a win
- Comment on its full, no air 3 weeks ago:
looks nervous well, you see… ummmm… if we put more water in it, it would splash out and ruin the product
- Comment on The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. 3 weeks ago:
They’ll nail us to the wall for using lemmy before they nail us for making routers :)

if that ends up being the case, us linux nuts can start making and selling our own routers!
Side Hustle!

pay a fee for the courtesy of dodging the law
Not that i’d be suprised for it to be so, but conditional approval doesn’t automatically mean pay a fee and we don’t check.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive 3 weeks ago:
Jesus that’s a lot of tokens.
Even if I was trying to do everything in my power to make burn tokens for real work I’d be hard fucking pressed to burn more than a couple thousand a month and that’s just being wasteful.

That would keep routers.ca from reselling Temu routers, net win.
I just hope that part of this doesn’t include mandatory backdoors for US agencies. This might be the start of the great firewall of the US
- Comment on The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. 3 weeks ago:
That’s kinda what’s going on. They’re pulling the FCC logo and making it illegal to resell without authorization. Hopefully, (but not assuredly) part of that authorization will be to make sure they comply with security.
Though I’m absolutely certain those ‘agreements’ cost a pretty penny and it’s lining someone’s pocket as well.
- Comment on The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. 3 weeks ago:
I hate to say anything that would defend any of this, but cheap Chinese routers are very prone to security issues. There’s a guy that has a youtube channel built arond taking apart and reverse engineering all kids of electroncis. He’s found some pretty bad stuff in generic routers, static logins, telemetry sent home, remote executable code in the admin portal while not logged in.
I agree there’s a lot more here they hope to gain, and that those gains are their primary objective, but there are some real issues from consumer network electronics.

TBF the more stupid ideas we give them, the less time they have to do really bad things
- Comment on Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptions 3 weeks ago:
This is absolutely the case, and honestly, at least for now how it needs to be across the board.
Noone should be using AI to do things you’re incapable of doing (or undoing).
- Comment on The US bans all new foreign-made network routers 3 weeks ago:
well pricing them out of reach of the population wasn’t working, so soon
- Comment on The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Router Models Made Outside US 3 weeks ago:
not reading it either, but if they don’t say how, you just configure hostapd
- Comment on Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies 3 weeks ago:
It’s def disruptive, depends on how much teams and ‘sharepoint’ they’re using. I’ve done some decent sized orgs before (not that big) and anything that’s not just email and a distribution list is always a pain.
- Comment on who lives in a house under a rock 3 weeks ago:
Appears to be a Porotherm ceramic block (or something close to it)
- Comment on Call me Barbie the way I lust after Ken Thompson. 3 weeks ago:
Makes sense to me. Debian is stability and patience. We don’t care about the latest version of Plasma unless we have a specific need for it.
Fedora pissed us off by splitting redhat and then fucking over centos.
Ubuntu is trying to do a lot of stupid shit.
The only greyer distros in my mind is slackware, Gentoo, OpenSuse or OpenBSD.
Imo NixOS kicks all their asses :)

1 if ozzy is alive.

Don’t watch Cr1tiKal, and I think ash would be annoying, but petting his pokemon might be fun
