- Comment on Google Deploying Huge CO2 Battery Facilities with Company Energy Dome 3 days ago:
let’s assume eventually 100% of this CO2 is eventually released into the atmosphere.
is that any less green than grid storage batteries built from massive amounts of mined metals with an enormous CO2 footprint?

how do you propose removing it?

are we really going to start counting who stole what in all smartphone design.

- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 1 week ago:
think about it for two seconds, jesus christ. Lots of places do not have water loop radiators and it is not an easy retrofit at all. This is not even close to a general solution.

power outages during sleeping hours.
good luck with that in winter.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 1 week ago:
The OS is still unstable
sounds like you have a crappy TV then. I literally never have to touch my LG.
tries to apply a bunch of filters that need to be disabled
well sure, but image processing in general is good to have in a TV. I wouldn’t say having options on how to do that is a bad thing.
has extreme lag unless gaming mode is being used
again, that’s due to the image processing. lag is fine if you are just watching the TV, and if you want to play games there is gaming mode. so i’m not sure what your complaint even is here.
and has stupid UI decisions like putting the audio level exactly where the subtitles usually are so that changing audio will obfuscate them.
this has nothing to do with the “smart” functions.
Once every 24h I‘m also getting a warning that the tv is not connected to the internet, despite network connectivity being explicitly disabled.
again, this is not a thing for most smart TVs, you just have a shitty one.

at that point why even use AI at all instead of some other basic filler assets?
- Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders 1 week ago:
Probably but with all the idiots fueled by sunken costs and desperate to prove they were right to invest, it could still last a long time.
not necessarily with hardware though. now they are flush with investments and have holes burning in their pockets. they may artificially extend the bubble, but rapid hardware expansion will be the first thing to slow down or stop.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 1 week ago:
it’s not that complicated, just get a smart TV and don’t connect it to your network. quite easy to never use any of the built in apps if you only use your own inputs sources.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 1 week ago:
if you’re using a dedicated media box anyway, a smart TV not connected to your network is basically the same as a dumb monitor.

sure, there are gray areas. but also if you’re willingly installing facebook you should know that your privacy is already heavily compromised.

there’s a difference between malware and junk. ios is pretty much malware free.
- Comment on Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' 1 week ago:
colloquially today most people mean genAI like LLMs when they say “AI” for brevity.
Because there’s this default assumption that data centers can never be powered by renewable energy
that’s not the point at all. the point is, even before AI, our energy needs have been outpacing our ability/willingness to switch to green energy. We are STILL using more fossil fuels than at any point in the history of the world. Now AI is just adding a whole other layer of energy demand on top of that.
- Comment on Why The AI Bubble Was DESIGNED To Burst 1 week ago:
or… maybe it wasn’t designed at all. maybe it is just a natural artefact of all big tech companies wanting to control the next big thing.

- Comment on Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faith 2 weeks ago:
it’s easy to see it that way when a big corporation is involved, but average people and small businesses get fucked by cybersquatters too. On balance I tend to side against the cybersquatters.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 2 weeks ago:
Will not work. None of these kinds of bans has ever worked. Did everyone just forget that they got blackout drunk as minors who could not legally purchase alcohol? Are we under some misguided belief that age verification procedures in this manner can or ever have worked effectively to reduce harm on minors?
Minors may not be 100% alcohol free but that does not mean they consume the same amount with or without age restrictions.
Is pointlessly age targeted legislation as social media is also bad for adults as well. Its bad because of business practices and lack of ethical considerations in gigantic monolithic international social media corporations.
that’s true for other age-gated things like alcohol and tobacco. there is legislation to protect adults as well as banning use for children.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know if this is the answer but I’m glad someone is trying something. will be a good case study regardless.
