- Comment on 1 week ago:
Typing anything like a website for the apple TV is the most excruciatingly annoying thing ever, it could only be described as torture. I would punch the executives that approved the design.
The shitty iOS input via annoying notification prompts when anyone in the house uses the TV are not a solution either, since they get so annoying you have yo disable them.

Nice try 8-bit guy! We’re on to you ;)
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 1 week ago:
Yes, but it can be involved and one mistake means your email could potentially never make it to peoples inbox as it will be seen as spam, etc. Not even mentioning that if your server was offline for an extended period of time (e.g. 2-5 day vacation), you could lose incoming messages.
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 1 week ago:
They can also read your more personal emails if the other party uses gmail regardless of what you use. The best you can do is try to distance your different “online personas” by separating personal emails, purchases and other use cases keeping Google out of as many as you can without needing other people to also jump ship.

Kind of matters to some of us whose parents can’t go to the grocery store without being profiled despite all things being in order because of how they look to other people.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 1 week ago:
Having to install powetoys on top of the OS makes it DOA for many on corporate environments. You get stuck on approval limbo or if someone else went through the pain, you discover it breaks every once in a while due to missing .net dependencies that you don’t have the right to install. I’ve seen this for both development (w10 w/ extended support) and thin clients (w11).
Unfortunately our clients all use Windows development machines, so we are stuck on the same to be able to write the guides and documentation. Most of our scripts now rely on Got bash since we know that’s available. MS environments are hostile to proper scripting and automation.

Spend 2 hours watching door hinge repair videos followed by buying a new house since you have 500m.
- Comment on Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug' 1 week ago:
Who didn’t get hit by the fork bug the professor explicitly asked you to watch out for since it would (back then with windows systems being required to use the campus resources) require an admin with Linux access to eliminate.
It was kind of fun walking in to the tech support area and them asking your login name with no context knowing what the issue was. Must have been a common occurrence that week of the course.
- Comment on Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug' 1 week ago:
E.g.: companies that advertise on a large sporting event might preemptively scale up (maybe warm up depending on language) their servers in preparation for a large load increase following some ad or mention of a coupon or promo code. Failure to capture the market it could generate would be seen as wasted $$$
- Comment on An Update on Cities: Skylines II - Development moved to Iceflake Studios 2 weeks ago:
But it is a good indication of what you can do better.
- Comment on Cams, anyone? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe they mean main network? Lots of people seem to have a separate vlan with strict rules on what they can cobtact for IoT devices nowadays due to how poorly secured they are.
- Comment on Sam Altman and husband reportedly working to genetically engineer babies from having hereditary disease 2 weeks ago:
There are more capable, actual medical professionals that can advance this field in a non-wallstreet all eggs in one basket kind of way.

- Comment on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
I think there was some mention of poisoning the AI crawlers or at least confusing them/requiring special handling as a possible side effect, so I stopped caring, but yes it can be somewhat of an annoyance until you remember that its basically just a contraction.
- Comment on Justice Department Sues Uber for Denying Rides to Passengers with Service Dogs, Wheelchairs 2 months ago:
Agreed. Replacing something that creates traffic and congestion, car dependency and deaths with the same but slightly better is not much of an improvement.
Especially when we know for a fact public transportation used to be a thing in north america (where I’m assuming the other commenter is from) before the car industry bribes and acquisitions destroyed it for a larger profit.

Not related to the topic at hand but interestingly (?) I’ve gotten used to your weird “th” as 1 character. I could read the entire thing without noticing it. I wonder if others have started to do the same since the upvote ratio seems better than what I remember it being before when people always questioned the usage.
- Comment on Smart textiles may soon be able to control devices or monitor health 2 months ago:
If you knew what was good for you you’d jump at the opportunity to have the non-pooped looking underpants for just $9.99/month! (predictive fart data still sold to healthcare providers).

Or they could be subtracting viewers with ad blockers? It would make sense that more techie channels would be hit the hardest.

- Comment on Young Workers Haven’t Been Replaced by AI—Economists Are Just Looking for Them in the Wrong Places 2 months ago:
There was no tech middleman taking in part of the profit while making every other part of the transaction a net negative for everyone else though. I do agree that AI might not have much to do with it though.

They are constructing a fisher price GOLD Tesla for trump as we speak no doubt. To be delivered in person awkwardly for some PR video a LA Apple.

We just need tucking trains and public transport in cities. Rural areas are under separate requirements. It’s that easy, but we’ve built cities for failure for a while now. We “send our prayers” each time a kid biking to school is run over and then complain when the number of lanes on the freeway is not expanded to accommodate the ever increasing number of cars or speed limits don’t allow for deadlier crashes because our commute from a poorly designed suburb to a poorly designed city increases by 5 minutes.
