- Comment on Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama. 1 week ago:
If I could buy a 48" monitor I would.
- Comment on Chasing the Elephant 2 weeks ago:
I had a peritonsillar abscess and it took a long time to heal up even after the antibiotics. The doctor was proposing that I have my tonsils removed but I decided to wait and see. Supposedly this is a rare complication that can develop after a bad sore throat. I’m really careful about sore throats now.
- Comment on Chasing the Elephant 2 weeks ago:
I can’t say I’ve noticed. I’ve had a bad cold and one particularly bad throat infection that took months to resolve since, but run-of-the-mill colds seem the same to me.

Did you catch Covid? How bad was it, if you did?
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 5 weeks ago:
You’ll find that based on 3.7 - 4.2 that most li-ion batteries are indeed charged from 0-100 and not 20-80 as you previously claimed. Manufacturers have no reason to overprovision consumer products that are made to be replaced in 5 years or so.

- Comment on Mid Career Marine Biology 2 months ago:
Khalifa,
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know why you are asking. If you are looking for closure, I can tell you that I won’t give you any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let this go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and you know what a Marine Biologist does.
Regards
- Comment on Whoa! Windows 7's market share surged, tripling in users last month 2 months ago:
If you disable TPM in your bios, W11 won’t install, nor update if it is already installed.
- Comment on Sony trying to warn the player they're settling for a lesser horse 2 months ago:
Why is the opposite of ‘Yes’ ‘Not now’?
- Comment on Old games with high GPU requirements (and look great) 2 months ago:
Any of the Battlefield titles look pretty great.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 2 months ago:
CF aside, i’m not the biggest fan that Ladybird decided on Swift, since it’s such an Apple-centric language.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 2 months ago:
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted for stating a fact, because Pixel hasn’t had competitive hardware for several iterations now.

The problem was using Cryptocurrency in the first place.

- Comment on The song that never ends announces what it is in the first line, then expects us to believe some people started singing it without knowing what it was 2 months ago:
Yes, I always start singing on the second line because of this.
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 2 months ago:
I have. Oddly enough, I don’t remember any Gearbox game with a Gearbox engine?
- Comment on 600 GB of Alleged Great Firewall of China Data Published in Largest Leak Yet 2 months ago:
Please, provide an argument instead of platitudes about “study more.” None of your posts contribute anything to do the discussion besides “read Marx.” Some of us already have done that.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 2 months ago:
A game that looks like BL4 shouldn’t run like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing turned on.
- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 3 months ago:
Then the problem surely is media literacy?
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 months ago:
Perhaps the lesser of the two evils, considering Google’s dominance. But yes, far from ideal.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 months ago:
Maybe at some point we can all stop watching and hence supporting YouTube, that’d be nice.

Elegant!

Could you show us the frequency response for the Bose vs the LCD-5s and why you prefer the Bose?

I look at the length of my shadow, if it’s not taller than I am I use an umbrella.
- Comment on Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus 3 months ago:
The vast majority of the content on there is a conservative echo chamber.
TIL. It’s always rather amusing as someone outside of America that posts containing factual information get downvotes purely based on the perceived alignment of the subject on the zero-nuance American Political Spectrum.
- Comment on Messenger signals that cue plants to ‘eat’ and ‘breathe’ revealed for first time 3 months ago:
Really curious about what this leads to. We also know that plants can signal each other via the mycelium, they have awareness of their surroundings and events, just not in the same way we do.

Word of mouth existed far before advertising, and as for algorithmic discoverability retailers do a fine job of that already.
