- Comment on Fact-checking night 2 of the Democratic National Convention | CNN Politics 2 months ago:
The very first paragraph!
There were few false or misleading claims on the second night of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday. Speakers generally made factual statements, told personal stories, expressed subjective opinions or offered uncheckable predictions.
- Comment on Netflix officially removes Basic - the cheapest ad-free tier 3 months ago:
I just don’t watch many shows and a lot of the stuff coming out I don’t find that great anyway so I’d rather do something else with my time than pay more for worse service.

That’s OK. I’ve already removed Netflix

Early access wasn’t successful enough? WTF did they expect?
Another example of why buying early access isn’t great.
I was looking forward to this game too.
- Comment on Because of smartphones, pocket TVs were never a thing. 6 months ago:
Probably! According to Wikipedia you get 3-5 hours off of 6 AA batteries. Not sure how that changes with the TV tuner but battery life wasn’t great.

Lol, after both steal every image on the internet.
No wonder the images look similar.

When I was a kid I thought this was the funniest thing. I’m happy that hasn’t changed. 😆

If you do end up scanning the magazines please post it. That would be a great trip down memory lane!
I especially like how this ad captures the silly edginess going on at the time.

Totally!
I hit burnout an now “productivity” is a dirty word. I’ve discovered that it is healthy to take time for yourself, even if it is to literally do nothing.
Programming is both my career and hobby, but I’ve had to adjust my free time to allow my mind to just let go a bit more often.

- Comment on $6.2B in profit wasn't enough: Nvidia hikes GeForce Now prices for Canada and Europe 1 year ago:
“Products are priced based on their cost/value, not the companies overall profit margins”
It doesn’t take much to observe that this is just incorrect.
That’s how it’s supposed to work, and they teach that in your Intro to Economics course, but in reality it just doesn’t work that way.

Was that the episode where he seduces the village elder’s daughter after winning 10 arm wrestling matches in a row at the tavern?
- Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games 1 year ago:
I misinterpreted the headline and expected a joke article about Epic charging developers who don’t use Unreal.

- Comment on Spotify is launching an eerie new AI-led feature that mimics podcasters' voices and translates them into different languages 1 year ago:
The dangerous part is that it sounds like the ad is generated by Spotify.
In the “tech already exists” scenario, an advertising firm will have to guess at the voice people want to hear and submit their own audio files to advertise.
If this works the way it sounds, the ad firm sends in some text and Spotify generates a voice ad based on who you listen to. Less effort on the advertising firm and far more targeted.
Both are bad. The second is worse!
And frankly, it’s another reason not to support Spotify. You are supposed to be paying to listen to music, not support research into this bullshit advertising.
- Comment on The holy trinity of DS9 1 year ago:
In Star Trek, all the software is built by prompting some AI, so nobody knows what the fuck the code is actually doing. 😅
