- Comment on 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. 1 week ago:
I’ve been looking for a decent dashcam for months and it’s so hard because they all are either complete shit, can’t show a license plate, or have security vulnerabilities.
How hard is it to make a battery powered camera that records to an sdcard, doesn’t drain the cae battery when off, and doesn’t suck?

They want to brand Socialism as Communism so we stay stuck in Tickle Down delusions
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 1 week ago:
It is not more efficient. Macs use more ram in general and they both employ memory compression and caching.

Really?!
The only laptop I was with LPCAMM was a specific Lenovo laptop that used LPCAMM to connect to a SODIMM daughter board.
Are there others you know of?

- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 4 weeks ago:
EA literally had one job:
- Make Skate 2 but with a new area and updated graphics.
And EAcwent and fucked it up being greedy. And they wonder why Steam is killing it.
- Comment on Having grown up on sci-fi I always knew there would be people who reject robots and AI on a visceral level, I just thought it wouldn't be me. 5 weeks ago:
Honestly same.
I always got excited about early AI use because it was actually innovative.
Like using AI to get better HDR photos, using AI for object recognition and Augmented Reality.
I was sure I’d always be an early adopter for it all.
Then within a day of ChatGPTs release, I saw the same social patterns as NFTs forming. I was like “this stupid chat bot fad will die out quickly, it’s all slop frontends for the same chat bot”.
I even made a point to differentiate LLMs from AI, because AI used to label something innovative.
And now I’m here vehemently avoiding LLMs. Cringing whenever I hear AI tacked on to a product name. Getting suspicious whenever I hear the word.

- Comment on If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting? 5 weeks ago:
I wanted more Dropbox space. Self hosted Nextcloud when Docker became a thing.
Ended up getting a job in tech as I got better with containerization and better at programming from scripting and reading Data Structures books
- Comment on Is browser preference a personality flaw? AI job interview evaluation raises questions— AI said applicant's 'habitual' Chrome use could indicate a 'lack of adaptability' after screening interview 5 weeks ago:
What choice do we have?
We use Chrome in any number of different costumes, or we tiptoe sites that deliberately break when using Firefox.
- Comment on No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer 5 weeks ago:
I bought it on release day and got bored quickly.
I picked it back up two years ago and I played all the way through to the end.
Now I don’t have much to do but play the expeditions and hunt for my favorite ships.
Currently I’m spacing bases out across each galaxy. It’s still quite fun, and if you didn’t complete the main story I think it’s worth the purchase.

I wish they’d get their security in order.
It would be the perfect Graphene phone if they did.
- Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t consider it so. Imo it has a different intended use case.
Similar to a a VPN’s server, if a TOR exit node is compromised, so is your traffic.
However, TOR is significantly slower than just torrenting over a VPN. It speed loss could make a 15min download take 6-8hours. For a movie that could be a few gbs in size it would take even longer.
- Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE 1 month ago:
I got started in high school, broke high school me shucked drives from used computers.
A lot of people throw away perfectly good computers. Or sell them for very cheap because they take up space.
Those reject computers, if you find the right one, could have 500gb-2gb ssds in them that are perfect for media server usage.

- Comment on If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky. 1 month ago:
I watched a docu about one fusion startup in the US. They’re skipping the boiling water step and converting the energy directly to electricity.
I dont remember the mechanics of how though. But they reportedly are the closest to net positive.
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 1 month ago:
Its contextual, and cab be both :)
I use it for thank you as well. But OP asked about apologies
- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 1 month ago:
Fedora KDE is what I use and recommend.
Its easy, to setup, no frills, reliable and very easy to use with a just gui if you’re not into the terminal.
If, and only if, this is not your primary computer. Eg, it’s only for gaming, I’d recommend Bazzite.
Bazzite is great and I use it on our couch pc for a true console experience. I call it “our better Xbox”.
