- Comment on Are there "headhunters" that work *for* you? 1 day ago:
External recruiters often get paid more after you have been with a company for a year. Furthermore, both you and the employer have to accept the other (do remember, particularly after entry level, interviews go both ways).
They are fairly motivated to get you where you need to be.

What do you mean? I’m assuming you aren’t referring to LibreOffice Calc, as that entire program is tables.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 6 days ago:
This is the next generation GPU. The Radeon is a last generation model that you have been able to buy for awhile now. What you are asking for currently exists and has been proven.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 6 days ago:
The standard is PCI-e, and it is interchangeable. This is the second dedicated video card you can get in a Framework laptop, and they can be swapped out with each other. The other video card is even an AMD Radeon.

You can buy individual displays directly on framework’s website and swap them into even their oldest laptop. If they make OLED versions in the future, it will be the same: a display swap.

Framework has been pretty consistent on upgradability. You can even put the newest MOBOs/CPUs in the oldest laptops since they kept the formfactor identical. They sell such mobos on their website.
- Comment on A Teen Was Suicidal. ChatGPT Was the Friend He Confided In. 1 week ago:
Yeah, article said he had talked for months about hanging himself. Any human friend would have done their best to save him. Being proactive about making him feel better, working through his problems with him, and/or notifying his parents or a school teacher.
Meanwhile the chat bot just encouraged him to seek help himself. Which isn’t bad, but when someone is suicidal, particularly when they keep bringing it up, is clearly not enough.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 1 week ago:
Over half my apps I use would get blocked
Consider many apps are just webpages. You can go to the website directly from a browser and everything is happy.
Obviously won’t solve everything, but that covers most apps right there.
- Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam? 1 week ago:
(he ad pivoted to the NATO encroachment defense of the war) and I said even if there was a valid contract
Two things about this ‘NATO encroachment’ angle people like to bring up:
-
There was never an agreement that NATO cannot accept new members. Even Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, the person whom the agreement would have been made with, calls such a claim a myth.
-
One has to ask why countries want to join NATO. It is something they have to apply for, something they have to work for. Why do they want this security guarantee? Who are they afraid of?
It’s Russia. It’s Russia invading everyone around them that has pushed countries to join NATO. Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine have all been occupied by Russia. Is it a wonder why former Soviet states like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania so badly want protection from Russian invasion?

- Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam? 1 week ago:
No problem, man! The annoying thing about disinformation is it spreads so easily. While attempting to tease out truth can take much, much more effort.
The biggest thing is teaching people how to be critical of what they hear and seek verification when something seems off. Problem is, once you get too far in, the truth is what seems off and it can take quite awhile to dig yourself back out, assuming you are even willing to try, which most aren’t.
- Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam? 1 week ago:
He is probably referring to the North Crimean Canal which fed water into Crimea. In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied Crimea. Ukraine shut down the canal as they are under no obligation to provide water for crops in Russian occupied territory.
This canal was fed by water from Kakhovka Dam’s reservoir. However, Russia blew up this Ukrainian dam in 2023, which has since cut off all potential possibility to fill the canal.
In summary, Russia invaded Ukraine, fucked a bunch of shit up, killed a ton of people, and is trying to pin the blame on Ukraine.
- Comment on YouTube’s Sneaky AI ‘Experiment’ 1 week ago:
This wouldn’t bother me if the creator could opt-in and users could opt-out. But, both are being forced into this. And I just hope in a year or two it doesn’t turn out Google fucked every classic video.
- Comment on Solar panels in space could cut Europe's renewable energy needs by 80% 1 week ago:
That sounds like the least economical way possible to build out solar.
- Comment on Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. 1 week ago:
Rent an apartment in Bumfuck, Flyover and work for a tech company.
It’s amazing how cheap living is when you aren’t trying to jam yourself into a city. People talk about how there is a bunch of vacant housing, well, middle of nowhere is where it is! And it’s damn cheap.
And now, with 5G and satellite internet both as solid internet sources, it is rare you will find a house that will prevent a work remote job.
- Comment on Do I need the ISPs home router? 2 weeks ago:
Some ISPs will also let you switch to your own modem if you call them and set it up with them. Have done that for years with my ISP as they charge a rental fee for the modem that pays for a completely brand new modem after only 6 months.
- Comment on Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt data 2 weeks ago:
50GB of write is pretty easy to get to. That is a single game download.
So, if you own an affected drive, gotta be really fucking careful using Steam on Windows.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
A bunch of VR headsets (including fairly expensive ones) used Windows Mixed Reality as their API to the OS. Without it, many of these headsets simply do not function. Turning your very expensive purchase into a paperweight.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
There are ads in Windows even if you pay extra for the Pro version…
God, they are finding even more places to add ads?!?
- Comment on Rumor: There Is A Performance Gap Between Switch 2 Game Cards Vs. Internal Storage 2 weeks ago:
The Switch could easily copy the game from the card to the local SSD and remove any performance penalty. Just like computers used to do with games on CD.
- Comment on Krafton claim former Subnautica 2 leads have "resorted to litigation to demand a payday they haven't earned" 3 weeks ago:
They shouldn’t have promised a massive bonus for an on-time delivery if what they actually wanted was a fully baked game. You get the performance your KPIs measure.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 3 weeks ago:
I have heard both quarterly and twice a year. There really is a ton of ‘it depends’. Mostly, does it look caked on after a quarter? If not, twice a year is fine.
- Comment on GitHub folds into Microsoft following CEO resignation — once independent programming site now part of 'CoreAI' team 3 weeks ago:
site now part of ‘CoreAI’ team
Are they trying to make GitHub into something that creates code instead of something used for collaboration and hosting of code? Ewww.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 3 weeks ago:
Vastly cheaper and healthier than mold.
Never fuck around with water/humidity as a home owner. Do it right.

PSA: Change your HVAC’s air filter if you haven’t yet this quarter.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 3 weeks ago:
Dehumidifier in the summer, particularly in basement areas, is a good idea as well. The AC will lower humidity, but depending on your setup may not fully lower it to the right level.
- Comment on Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams 3 weeks ago:
FedNow is owned by the Federal Reserve. They are almost certainly going to retain stricter regulation than independently operated payment processors.
- Comment on As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 3 weeks ago:
Quite a few states actually have systems like this. In which individuals can choose their power generator at will. It is nice as it increases competition and lets you tailor energy use to your wants.
If you want 100% green, switch to a generator that does that. If your default utility gets too expensive, switch to a cheaper one, etc.
