So… next step is to cut it’s wifi antenna and fill the ethernet port with superglue? Tech is amazing /s
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 1 week ago:
Or get a laptop or some other device so the TV has no choice but work as a simple display. We’ve come full circle

- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 3 weeks ago:
And even then they massively fucked up by ignoring all the ddosing for years. It gave us Northstar but it’s a paid fucking game, come on man.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 3 weeks ago:
At least they kept some of the old ones, still kinda dumb that to access the old tags system you have to click search with an empty search field of all things. Also kinda weird that they killed old skins so fast, I don’t have anything against using SFP and patching in a new one but it’s gotta be really demotivating for skin creators.

don’t piss off the customers
Unless it’s their UI, they love to do pointless changes nowadays. On top of the stuff mentioned by other replies

You could torrent the stuff that’s on there and decide if it’s worth your money beforehand

Yeah but tucking it all back down means it’s not gonna be perfect and that annoys me greatly
- Comment on Happens everytime 4 weeks ago:
If your headboard is big/fluffy enough so that it contacts the mattress it’s guaranteed to be a pain in the ass imo. Also a pain if you have a mattress protector or some other layer of different texture.
- Comment on Happens everytime 4 weeks ago:
nah, happens even if your sheets are custom made

- Comment on Robotics Company Builds Straight-Up Terminator 5 weeks ago:
Wealth inequality isn’t going away anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean you can condemn the entire field of humanoid robots as useless/unreachable for the 99%. There’s probably going to be a point when a suzuki swift (geo metro for americans) equivalent of a robot will come along.

- Comment on It's Not Google's Fault. It's Yours. 5 weeks ago:
yea it’s our fault quotation marks don’t work half the time
- Comment on Robotics Company Builds Straight-Up Terminator 5 weeks ago:
To do what?
Chores and other stuff we don’t/can’t do. This has been the dream for decades now, so many decade+ old encyclopedias with “future tech” chapters show robots caring for people, sometimes as caregivers (for old people, or blind etc), sometimes as entertainers.
- Comment on YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 5 weeks ago:
I like the “moneyless” part of the definition, aka if you have a currency you’re not communist. Which, to be fair, they didn’t call themselves as a country.

- Comment on Major Bitcoin mining firm pivoting to AI, plans to fully abandon crypto mining by 2027 as miners convert to AI en masse — Bitfarm to leverage 341 megawatt capacity for AI following $46 million Q3 loss 5 weeks ago:
Hey now, at least bitcoin has it’s uses. And if you have a farm for it I doubt you’re scamming on the side, that’s risky.

- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 5 weeks ago:
They would then have to compete with google’s storefront, which is wild to think about. Unless they pull an EGS and promise a much better revenue split, but even then it’s gonna be ridiculously hard
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 5 weeks ago:
But it would be stable, reliable, accessible…
And have a 50% chance to be abandoned/unsupported in 2 years. In the real world they have zero reasons to release a standalone phone, (huge) maybe they could make a tablet for remote play.
