- Comment on Nintendo Switch Surpasses 140 Million Units Sold 1 week ago:
The Wii didn’t officially support dvd playback (and didn’t support hardware video decoding of typical dvd codecs, so few dvds worked with the homebrew software to enable it)
- Comment on Six months after the initial reddit surge (graphs) 4 months ago:
I used Apollo and Relay extensively and not having those makes it so hard to even try for me.

Unless they are permanently only using specific addresses or blocks and will never change that up, I’d consider it a moving target.
- Comment on 13 Feet Ladder 4 months ago:
Checking ip ownership is a moving target more likely to result in outcomes these sites don’t want (accidentally blocking google bots and preventing results from appearing on google).
Checking useragent is cheap, easier, unlikely to break (for this purpose, anyway) and the percentage of folks who know how to bypass this check is relatively slim, with a pretty small financial impact.

- Comment on [META] I added a basic article filter 9 months ago:
It’s links to articles aggregated from various tech news sources.
It exists to help provide me with content to read relevant to my interests, which many others also share.
- Comment on [VERGE] Here’s a collection of gifts you can give mom no matter the occasion 9 months ago:
Not tech news, but I’m going to leave it. If you’re on speaking terms, call your mother before you can’t.

Hi! It’s not really a user, nor are the articles random- this is a bot that posts articles from a few preset “tech news” sites, which frustratingly sometimes post garbage. If you report the non-tech posts, I clean them up periodically.
- Comment on What do you use for self hosting a streaming service like Geforce Now? 9 months ago:
Steam supports fully remote play, you don’t need to use any wacky vpn workarounds
