- Comment on RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives 3 days ago:
If my 3600X has taught me anything, it’s that AM4 platform is truly a long-haul legend.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
For me, it’s rarely ever furries. Usually it’s the waifu posts that get the hammer from me, mostly because I scroll this thing in public and around people I know.
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 2 weeks ago:
Same goes for Korea (since it was defined by the reigning Kingdom)

It’s real. I knew about him already, but I didn’t know about his tweets.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 2 weeks ago:
Because it has to be here.

Not if you do an ungodly amount of sanding!
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 2 weeks ago:
Maybe not 11 close friends, but I have enough friends to get 11 people invited to place… I think that counts! If I could fit them.

Lol, give it to a kid and watch the bands snap on the first jump 😔

Yes, that too.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s AI Grok Goes Rogue with Posts Suggesting Trump Is a Pedophile and Erika Kirk Is JD Vance in Drag 2 weeks ago:
Grok must be tired of switching between mechahitler mode and trying to logically think through questions.
They’re just not compatible, and yet somehow they keep trying to force it.
(I know, LLMs do not have feelings or get tired)
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
Infinitely better, as long as your network and encoding are set up properly. At the very least, you won’t need the ice bricks.
- Comment on LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks 2 weeks ago:
I feel like the “AI capable” marketed CPUs are a sham. For the average user, it’s just going to feel slow compared to cloud compute, so it’s just training the average person to not bother buying AI-labelled hardware for AI.
- Comment on I love science 2 weeks ago:
I know they’re not a scientist. But to say they have no grasp or interest in science would also be wrong, so I think the answer lies somewhere in the gray area, and not this black and white perspective presented in OP.
You can be enthusiastic and have a simplified-but-robust understanding of some kinds of science, that doesn’t make you less of an enjoyer. But there are certainly people who only understand at a surface level, yet pretend to be immersed in the material.
- Comment on I love science 2 weeks ago:
Does an F1 driver need to understand and utilize advanced calculus on the track to do well? I feel that concepts like grip/slip, aero, centripetal force, and weight transfer are intimately linked to an intuition for physics, even if they aren’t being understood at a calculus-requiring level by the driver.
Yet, I would struggle to call that situation “outreach” or “popularizarion.”
- Comment on I love science 2 weeks ago:
And then we have things that remap what seems one-dimension into abstract spaces, so that we can draw new conclusions.
- Comment on Check mate, atheists. 2 weeks ago:
This is why I can’t discredit faith, but I still do my best to point out how organizational religion has always exploited people. Not that all of it is bad. But there needs to be better safeguards for people to have the opportunity to find or reject faith for themselves, and instead it’s mostly indoctrination.
- Comment on AI data centers may soon be powered by retired US Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarines 3 weeks ago:
Even the clean energy supplied data centers will heavily pollute the water used to cool it. So, even if we do that, we should still be pushing to reduce the amount of datacenters being built right now…
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 4 weeks ago:
Hah. I never even said the comment hurt me.
I’m just speaking on behalf of those who have been hurt. If you can’t recognize why someone might do that, you’re either a rape apologist or you’re an incel troll. Probably both.
- Comment on If you were dropped into a pool of people's spit and prevented from getting out, would you melt to death? 4 weeks ago:
This person would answer “not if you drink it all”
- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 4 weeks ago:
Fun fact: the S24U and S25U pictured in the preview have the same camera sensor set, despite marketing materials boasting camera improvements.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 4 weeks ago:
They had a little bit of reprise with the surge of SFF PCs but not much.
- Comment on Got my girlfriend an Xbox controller and 3D printed a faceplate 4 weeks ago:
I’ve never tried it but this method looks interesting. I wonder if it would work with clear coat instead of paint.

What’s wrong? God saved him in the end.
- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 4 weeks ago:
Because some people have digital libraries but no hardware to run them on.
At the very least, this is a loss in gaming accessibility by cost since a month of GeForce Now used to be a decent gaming backup for when my gaming system was down (had to RMA GPU).
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 4 weeks ago:
…do we really need to use the word “raping” to talk about PC performance or can we agree that there are a hundred other words that fit better in that spot?
- Comment on Vince Zampella, video game developer behind 'Call of Duty' franchise, killed in mountain road crash 4 weeks ago:
Have you considered why “Call of Duty” is 38 in Reduction, Single Reduction, KV Exception, and SKV exception?
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that all of those ciphers having the same mappings for all letters except K, S, and V… Each of which don’t appear in the phrase “Call of Duty”.
“The nimble red fox ran around the lazy dog” is 38 in Reduction, Single Reduction, KV Exceptuon, and SKV Exception!!! This means it’s related to murder! And I didn’t even have to calculate the cipher at all, I just had to look at it and see if it had the right letters!
- Comment on Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. 404 Media Tracked Themselves. 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s an upscale. I think it’s an mspaint recreation. There’s no reason an AI upscale would turn the cheek circles into ellipses and move them away from the edge of the cheek. All the colors are also different, and the geometry differs in places too.

If anything, they might have written most of the infrastructure using LLMs. It’s easier for vibecode to forget about security because LLMs often forget context or hyperfixate on the wrong features.
- Comment on My PSP Scrapbook: Part Retrospective, Part Collage 4 weeks ago:
The shell I got was mediocre. It all comes together, but there are definitely some weird gaps and bad tolerances. I had to trim down some plastic to get everything to line up half-decently.
I’m glad you like the transparent shell as well, as I was a bit on the fence about it at first.
- Comment on My PSP Scrapbook: Part Retrospective, Part Collage 5 weeks ago:
Love the PSP! Grew up with it and loved the more mature titles available compared to Nintendo’s handheld game library. A couple years ago I purchased a faulty PSP for dirt cheap and replaced the display, shell, and UMD drive. Unfortunately the clear analog stick I purchased is quite rubbish and needs to be replaced, but I haven’t gotten around to it.
