I thought it already did, and that’s why it was dangerous.

Darn, I just bought it on Steam. Well I can probably de-Steam it.

Wow that adder was honestly impressive. Great article overall.
- Comment on Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site 6 days ago:
On paper, I like this solution better than every app/site developer having to hack together (or outsource) their own age verification system. But I’m sure it opens up a ton of potential problems. And if it’s open source, someone could just fork it and make a version that always says “yes” so unfortunately it’ll never be FOSS.
- Comment on Bend the market to your will in the roguelike Insider Trading 1 week ago:
It’s very interesting the concept they’ve been able to turn into rogue-like form. I played a calculator rogue-like where you purchased additional buttons to make equations.
- Comment on I Bought a “Junk” PSP From Japan: Here’s How It Went 1 week ago:
I still have my PSP 1000. I bought it from a pawn shop with my very first pay cheque. Bricked it with an official update. Maybe salvageable, I’m a lot better at tinkering than I was back then, but my wife’s 2000 is modded and probably still working fine.

Are they coming to harvest the RAM from my computer?

I’ve got one in my wallet right now.
- Comment on I'm fed up with Copilot, and I'm not sure it can be fixed 2 weeks ago:
Humans are historically pretty good at offloading mental capacity to some sort of tool in order to tackle larger and more complex problems. Consider solving a math problem mentally. Compare that to the kind of problem you would be able to some with a pen and paper. Then consider what you could do with a pen and paper and a calculator. An LLM purports to be all of that, and more, for any subject. It doesn’t matter that the results are often horrifically wrong, once they’ve offloaded the entirety of their mental capacity to the magic box and refocused their attention somewhere else.
- Comment on Recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine 3 weeks ago:
Fancy 16-ply toilet paper. That’s why they’re so worried about the rate, it costs $20 a roll.
- Comment on Negotiating with other family members 3 weeks ago:
Greg is a terrible name for a car. At least call it Gregory.
- Comment on Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley 3 weeks ago:
Similarly they ported Rockbox to the RG Nano and even sort of to the Nintendo 3DS.
- Comment on Day 556 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
Very fond memories of this game but it’s been so long I’m not sure it holds up. I know I’ve changed, I don’t really play shooters anymore.
- Comment on Who's on the market for...? 1 month ago:
I’ve saved the wax and tried to come up with a creative use for it, but I’ve never decided to make it somebody else’s problem and then make them pay for the privilege.
- Comment on My PSP Scrapbook: Part Retrospective, Part Collage 2 months ago:
I had a GBA and DS growing up but a used PSP was my very first purchase with my first day cheque. The idea of playing PS1 games on the go still seemed so revolutionary to me. What a fun little device to tinker with.

While I agree being shitty is a human problem, shitty people are using AI to be shitty faster.

- Comment on Is Perplexity the first AI unicorn to fail? 3 months ago:
I’ve only heard of Perplexity because I got a free year from my cell provider. Also does anyone else feel like this article is missing punctuation or something?
- Comment on iPhone Pocket: $229.95 3 months ago:
This is pretty egregious, but honestly anyone who wants to buy it should. They deserve to
be swindledhave what they paid for. Anyone who doesn’t want to buy it, won’t. - Comment on GameHub Lite, GameNative and the Android PC Revolution: An Interview with the Developers (my article!) 3 months ago:
I thought about GameHub when having trouble with Winlator. Read an article titled something like “I installed GameHub so you don’t have to.” Happy to hear there’s a less intrusive alternative!
- Comment on Looking for controller recommendations 3 months ago:
I have the GameSir X2 Pro and I love it. It doesn’t fit your criteria as it doesn’t fold into pocket size but maybe this is a recommendation for the brand?
- Comment on Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00] 3 months ago:
I lost mine in my house. Looked for it in April, couldn’t find it. In September I found it and the battery was at 56%.
Also you can’t read a tablet in direct sunlight.
- Comment on Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00] 3 months ago:
Yeah Amazon and I have a pretty adversarial relationship about what I should be able to do on my Kindle, and my next device won’t be from them. But in the meantime I’m loving having my jailbreak back, and I made sure to prevent updates properly this time. Koreader is great and the thing even has a Gameboy emulator!
- Comment on Breakthrough in Huntington’s disease treatment shows unprecedented results for patients 4 months ago:
My (half-) brother has Huntington’s. It killed his father, so he knew it was possible and he’s not having any children. He’s just turned 30 and just had its presence confirmed, but apparently he’ll be symptom-free until about 60. Hopefully we get more good news like this in the next 30 years.
