- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 1 day ago:
Discord didn’t play nice with Linux for me. It wouldn’t update and then discord wouldn’t let me sign in. Had to go thru a multi step process each update to fix it. Only discord did this.
- Comment on The most durable tech is boring, old, and everywhere 6 days ago:
DOGE tech bros HATE this one thing…
- Comment on Spotify vs. Anna's Archive 1 week ago:
What’s up with soundlcouds position in that chart?
- Comment on Spotify vs. Anna's Archive 1 week ago:
Where’d that come from? I had no idea.
- Comment on Spotify vs. Anna's Archive 1 week ago:
Annas archive should just say they were using the data to train their new AI model. Then nobody would bat an eye.
- Comment on Major incident declared over Shropshire canal 'sinkhole' 2 weeks ago:
The article says the bank failed and drained into a field.
- Comment on Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud 2 weeks ago:
You can see on the right side of the screen who the seller is though? It is annoying there isn’t a proper filter but you can kind of use the qualified for free shipping filter to filter out third parties.
- Comment on Half-Life 3 Reportedly Delayed Due to Steam Machine Price, Leak Claims 2 weeks ago:
Hatred towards tech bros somehow increased even higher.
- Comment on Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud 2 weeks ago:
So are all these people who say they are buying from Amazon actually buying from 3rd party sellers on Amazon? I’m always confused by these stories with used items being delivered.

MS reps tightening the screw.

I thought Mozilla lost the google funding in the monopoly ruling?
- Comment on It's the Christmas light video again - 2025 edition 4 weeks ago:
I feel like this video touched some larger philosophical points about technological progress. It’s to work and create with restraints. If there are no limitations you end up with an unfocused mess.
- Comment on Console(s) to TV 1 month ago:
I go component or svideo for everything, whatever is easiest. Get a svid or component switch box and hook everything up.
- Comment on Vintage 3dfx Voodoo 2 cards may inevitably fail due to pyroelectric capacitors — retrocomputing channel investigates [Bits and Bolts] and recommends preventive maintenance 1 month ago:
I have 2 voodoo 2 cards that never did boot. Always got a black screen. They’ve been sitting in a box for years.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 1 month ago:
I think it will be the last one I run as well. I’ve always gotten grumpy with updating my OS since XP. I skipped Vista and 8 entirely. So I went XP > 7 > 10. I tried out Cachy OS and it works great. Did I have to go in the terminal at times? Absolutely but I have to go into the command line in windows sometimes too. Only thing keeping me in Windows at the moment is some windows only software and hardware drivers.

What alt front ends are there? How would you bypass the age check? Back in the day I didn’t have an account and you could get around it using third party sites but those don’t work anymore as far as I know.
- Comment on Is Kagy web browser worth it? 2 months ago:
They added AI which I thought was one of the main points of using an alternative search engine so you could get away from that nonsense?
- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 2 months ago:
Forcing users to ditch WIndows 10? I can’t help but feel like this is a giant media campaign by microsoft to make people switch to Win 11. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. I can still use Windows XP if I want to.
- Comment on A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley 2 months ago:
Reddits search function was so bad it spawned an entire industry.
- Comment on Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel 3 months ago:
Can we tax rich people instead of listening to them say stupid shit?
- Comment on Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say 3 months ago:
The issue I feel, is we live in a society that equates money with importance. This guy over here made lots of money so he must be smart right? No, no it doesn't.
The headline should be Stop Talking to Technology Executives, Tax Them.
- Comment on Judge blocks FTC probe into Media Matters, calls it government "retaliation" that should alarm Americans | FTC probe blocked in escalating X dispute 4 months ago:
I've been in a permanent state of alarm for months now. I have anxiety and a weird twitch in my eye. Why aren't our politicians and news orgs alarmed?
- Comment on Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue. 4 months ago:
The rules only apply to low paid employees. You bet your ass a regular federal employee could still be fired for receiving a free lunch.

- Comment on This mindblowing project lets you run Windows XP on the web 5 months ago:
https://win32.run/ gives me a black screen. It flashes something for a split second but it gone. Brings back memories.
- Comment on Old School Rally scratched our ‘90s arcade racing itch... then promptly disappeared 5 months ago:
Funny how topgear.com couldn't bother to go there for the explanation.
On a side note I really enjoyed playing Sega Rally Revo on the PC. Its abandonware and has some of the best countersteer mechanics I've ever experienced in a racing game. Similarly Touge Max G for the PS1 has some of the best drift mechanics I've ever experienced in a racing game.

Is it normal to find 80 chemicals in say a plastic bottle of water? I have no frame of reference.
