- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out 2 weeks ago:
I believe that even if you’re running Windows, if you installed the game on an ExFat drive, it would refuse to launch.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out 2 weeks ago:
I love how they don’t even mention they’ll lock oit anyone who didn’t install it on an NTFS drive like every other Forza game.
- Comment on Precognition proven! Parapsychology vindicated! 2 weeks ago:
Oil futures is a thing investors buy where you pay money now to have the right to buy oil at the current price later. If the price goes up, you can actually buy the oil and sell it at market value, making money. If the price drops, you only lose a little bit of money. In future trading, there is a huge advantage for being the first person to buy a future. No one is investing in oil right now becuase the blockade caused by the Iran war. Over the weekend, Trump tweeted that he was in negotiations with Iran to end the war, which would make oil futures profitable again. After his tweet, a ton of future sales happened really quickly. However, there was also a huge blip before his tweet. The only reason you would bother investing in oil futures before his tweet is if you knew he was about to tweet it. This is an illegal form of investing called insider trading, but it is something Trump has been suspected of doing several times since this term.

But have you had your fill of shimmying on a ledge, and then a rock slips and you need to frantically press X?
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
That’s actually good news in my eyes, we definitely won’t see this hit the consumer market for years.
- Comment on From millions of dollars to under a grand: The dramatic fall of the NFT 4 weeks ago:
As opposed to the USD, which is backed by nothing, and therefore has no underlying value, but is not gambling for some reason?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Everything here is false equivalency. Starbucks sells regular coffee, it looks just like your AI pics you include, and the calorie count is going to be quite low. Yes, sugary drinks are sugary. You can also get lattes without any syrup in them, and while you can certainly argue that Starbucks beans aren’t the best in the industry, their lattes are pretty similar to lattes at any coffee shop.
This whole post is like “You shouldn’t go to McDonalds because they have a mcdouble cheeseburger with 1000 calories in it and you could make a salad at home.”
Also, I’d like to acknowledge that this sub is called “You Should Know”, which to me implies it should be about important educational facts, not opinion pieces.
- Comment on Lead Lemmy developer dessalines@lemmy.ml Appears to Have Had Their Account Compromised After Moderation Actions Raise Serious Concerns 4 weeks ago:
For every Lemmy.ml community you’re subscribed to, search for a non-lemmy.ml alternative. Almost every one has an alternative now. Subscribe to the new one, unsubscribe from the old, and never look back. This kind of heavy handed and/or opinionated moderation is the status quo there.

And Anthropic refused? Surely they must be the evil ones!
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam 1 month ago:
And it was the best Resident Evil for a very long time. Honestly, being the best can cut both ways. I’ve avoided buying remakes for some of my favorite games because “I’ve already played the campaign 5 times, am I really gonna pay $60 to play it a 6th?”
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam 1 month ago:
Remakes will never be as popular as new games.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll make sure to avoid any philosophy education.
- Comment on One good thing about getting into a new relationship is that you get to re-tell all your best jokes and stories 1 month ago:
My wife is forgetful, and I retell her jokes all the time. I reader this post and madea joke about it at her expense. She got grumpy about it, but I won’t have to worry about that for too long.
- Comment on US strike kills three on boat in eastern Pacific 1 month ago:
Surely if you can track these ships to open waters, you could just seize one of them and tell the world exactly how much cocaine they contained. If you were confident in what it contained, it’s a no-brainer, everyone would back off and say “Well, it’s illegal to missile random boats, but the threat is real and their Intel is good so…”
I can only think of one reason they haven’t done this yet: They’re not actually that sure they’re drug shipments every time. There’s a good chance a number of those boats are just random civilian boats.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AI 1 month ago:
I had a meeting with my boss today about my AI usage. I said I tried using Claude 4.5, and I was ultimately unimpressed with the results, the code was heavy and inflexible. He assured me Claude 4.6 would solve that problem. I pointed out that I am already writing software faster than the rest of the team can review because we are short staffed. He suggested I use Claude to review my MRs.

I love this story because it’s obvious your son asked this during the several minute long loading screen. No matter what year it is, Bethesda games take at least a minute to load.
- Comment on The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The Worst 1 month ago:
Same, the game was dead to me even before I actually watched the trailer or got a chance to try it out. Kernel level anti cheat and/or TPM 2.0 are deal breakers no matter what.

To say nothing about water usage, which is probably an unsolvable problem.
- Comment on At least one of the 7 letters has still some relevante to my life. 1 month ago:
Jupyter notebook isn’t a language, it’s a tool for running interactive sessions, in principle with any language. I’m fairly certain people run Julia in Jupyter Notebooks.
As for the advantages of Julia versus Python, arrays are native types, so they interface better across the entire language. It’s also shockingly fast in comparison, it compiles the code at runtime, so the longer the program runs, the faster it is.
If there is a use-case for R that Julia or Python can’t do, I haven’t seen it. I personally don’t see the point of writing code in R when the Python and Julia are more broadly useful to learn.

If you lean on any proprietary component, any printing company is going to intentionally make you obsolete. For them, it’s a no-brainer.

- Comment on The Linux kernel is just a program 2 months ago:
That was my reaction as well. It’s a fun headline, but a kernel is not “just a program”. To try to assert it’s like a normal program forces you to question your definition of a program. If I hold a voltimeter and switch between hot and cold wires, am I a program now?

Sound alike your first task is to list out all the meanings of colon and figure out which one of them looks like wheels when turned sideways.
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 2 months ago:
There’s an iOS game about the history of fonts you might enjoy. Struggling to find it at the moment, but you play a colon navigating through time, solving various puzzles.

Would absolutely love to see political nonsense off this sub. If there’s a new sub for it, whatever, I definitely wouldn’t subscribe.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 Is Just 'Overwatch' Again And Five New Heroes Arrive Next Week 2 months ago:
There used to be an r/EmreMains when the name first appeared in lore. That must have been almost 5 years ago, and now they’ve finally released the hero. I don’t know what they expected, but I’d figure that almost everyone who was there previously has moved on, I certainly have.
