- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 1 day ago:
It’s also not the core purpose of the data center. The building is a shell protecting racks of servers, the core purpose of a data center. Why spend anymore than absolutely necessary when it would not increase the output of that core purpose.

He is autistic, it causes commincation issues.
Everyone is susceptible this, you for example with how the previous comment said it’s from autistism and you failed to process this.
- Comment on Google CEO: If an AI bubble pops, no one is getting out clean 4 days ago:
Too big to not let fail.
That was lesson.
I’m sure we managed to avoid learning it.
- Comment on Cams, anyone? 4 days ago:
Can confirm. Been using Wyze cameras for several years.
I’m not using this particular firmware but I bought them specifically because I could flash them.
Despite the firmware giving control of outbound traffic, I suggest blocking them at the network level.
Mine run on an sd card and if someone removes the sd card and reboots it or the card gets corrupted, it would fall back to factory settings.
I have quite a few of these and they are using very, very cheap sd cards and while none have failed, they most certainly will eventually.

Trying? Have you used a recent version of MacOS?
Shit is locked down as tight as they can get without preventing the ability to be used for development.

They are free to not paying anymore taxes every again.
Let’s make ritual abandonment great again; float these selfish fucks out to sea.

Yep. The iPad Pro lineup is M-series.
- Comment on When you experience trauma for the first time, you are alone, but when you re-experience that event (through memory), you find out you aren't actually alone, past-you and present-you share that burden 6 days ago:
Spiritual nonsense.
Glad it works for you though, sincerely.
- Comment on Watch me go Reddit 6 days ago:
literally wasn’t the smartest guy.
Statistically it is a safe bet to say the literal smartest guy is not nor ever has worked at Reddit.
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 6 days ago:
Though it looks like that could change eventually with a Linux phone.
Nope. There is firmware on cellular modems that is controlled by the chip vendor.
Carriers work with chip companies to make sure devices work on their network but they don’t even get the source, just early release blobs for the network engineers head of the device’s release.
This code is literally the most widely used closed source code. It is more locked down than the firmware on any other device you own. It often illegal to reverse engineer.
I’m sure one day there will be open source code for this but it’s going to come long after a Linux phone and until we can be anonymize with the tower, there is no privacy.
- Comment on does anyone else have this impression of gruyere? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. But because the name isn’t protected like champagne, no one will every market it as sparkling cheese.

A billion dollar bet against a trillion dollar bubble. Cute.
- Comment on What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence? 3 weeks ago:
They aren’t gods, just manifestations who cast them self into the next high dimension.
They have noticed us, yet.

I feel the devices nostalgia is carried by those who never owned the device.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 5 weeks ago:
Yep. This is inevitable. Whenever we get to the point where consumers are controlling the aggression of the self driving, which will happen no matter laws are past.
Ultimately it’s all just code on hardware.
Tesla is definitely doing their fuck around, still waiting to find out on this one. Eventually that liability will catch up with them. The question is months, years, or decades.
- Comment on I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles 5 weeks ago:
They get 20-30% of the ticket sale. Considering the price of tickets, that’s more than cents.
The share they keep increases the longer the movie plays.
This idea that they get almost none of the sales is a story they sold people so people would feel guilty not paying for over priced concessions.
- Comment on At somepoint in human history there was likely a day where not a single human died. 5 weeks ago:
This is a statistic problem. It is likely to occur at least once per year with a population below 250,000.
Age is distributed and we’re only looking for one day, with a day being no well defined so we have to assume any given 24 hour period.
If it was under 10,000 there could be entire weeks without a single death.
This is based on the chance of any random person dying being 1:50,000.
This is today’s rate and in the past most people died young but the chance of it occurring does not require the population be lower than that chance of a random person dying because we’re looking for any day not a specific day.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
The problem is people who use these then unknowingly propagate these unusable websites.
It’s gotten so ridiculous that often a bad website is blamed on the user for not having a properly customized webrowser. This is despite not everyone is able to set up these blocking tools.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 1 month ago:
If there is a trickle, you do not know what you’re doing.
This whole comment has a, “I am very badass” vibe to it.
You’re probably sending more data to the cloud than most because of the hubris.

This is a far stronger claim than any of the developers for these emulators claim.

- Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored... 1 month ago:
The problem is Amazon has this. I don lt care if my neighbors do this. But random corporations should not be involved.

All sode mino quests and some of them are repetitive.
Statistics for business and statistics with actual math. Those remedial classes, like math that starts with basic arithmetics.
What a trooper to slog though all.
I would be more impress if he’d played it in god mode. Must get all As and it requires being elected president of each student organization at least once.

I’m not saying don’t try to reduce your emissions by…
I’ll say it. Don’t do these things because you think they reduce your carbon emissions. Do it when it’s the most frugal option.
Reduce and reuse are still something we should 100% being doing but trying to measure then inject carbon foot print is futile.
Every dollar spend it a better measurement of your contribution to emissions. Trying to calculate it yourself with incomplete data is pointless.
Don’t be fooled by some study you read that made you feel like a righteous person. No one knows. The methods we have for measuring and assessing our footprint are hilariously incompete.
The truth is buried in endless noise. We don’t know what we need to know because it is in the best interests of others that we not know it. Blindspots.
Buy less products because buy “better” is a personal fantasy. Where better is because some popsci idea made you feel guilty for not being better. What the fuck do these things know, they’re bullshitting. Yes people do that; not just on the internet but definitely there.
