- Comment on Did UCLA Just Cure Baldness? 1 day ago:
It’s not just cosmetic. Hair keeps the heat from escaping the head so quickly and, more importantly, it helps keep the head from getting sunburned and skin cancer.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 4 days ago:
Check out the many OTR Gold podcasts that have the serialized shows as episodes.
- Comment on China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds 5 days ago:
Not to mention the server is the bottleneck at that point. I have access to 2.5Gb/2.5Gb but only pay for 500/500 because, even that is faster than most servers, and of course all the mobile devices aren’t pushing more than 400 on WiFi.
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 1 week ago:
I switched the Knulli the day after I got it so I can’t really compare. I don’t think I’ve gotten below half in a few hour play sessions with SNES. I haven’t really spent a lot of time in PSX to see what that would do.
- Comment on My current handheld lineup 1 week ago:
Not really. Played through Metal Slug 1 and 2 already with it. I’m a dpad first player and I’m glad it’s there honestly.

- Comment on Are there any better mechanical keyboards that don't break the bank? 1 week ago:
Royal Kludge makes some good keyboards for less. Their wired on is super affordable but does have longer, louder travel.

These are what you’re looking for. They’re also temp selectable so you can dial it to 3000K (what my entire house is as well). They’re super dimmable and flicker free. These are the only bulbs that worked for problematic coach light fixtures for me. No more flicker even in cold weather.
- Comment on “Fly Me to the Moon” is a stupid song. You want to know what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars? Extremely unpleasant. 2 months ago:
We need more silly in this world, don’t we?

Made me chuckle this morning. Of course the writer, Bart Howard, wasn’t being literal. I bet what’s really eating at you is how much money they’ve made on this song for nonsensical lyrics.
Great tune. 😜
- Comment on Production quality often has in inverse relationship to information quality in youtube videos 2 months ago:
On the flip side a lot of super informational videos do a poor job at conveying that information. That’s arguably as bad.

Absolutely nailed it.
- Comment on Apple Removes Ability to Run Unsigned Apps in macOS 15.1 2 months ago:
The article is straight up BS. You can still run unsigned apps. The approval is just in a different place now.

It’s always been trash …
- Comment on Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old? 2 months ago:
The big chains got worse since there is basically a cheese monopoly in the US and its products have gotten cheaper to produce and worse quality. The expensive pizza places are still great because they typically don’t source their cheese from them. Can’t remember where I read that.
Ex. Pizza Hit in the 80s was incredible pizza. It’s meh now.
- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 2 months ago:
That’s why they’re so pervasive, they work on the majority of people (that’s not us).

You have to share your email address with Konami for marketing purposes but they do disclose this in an obvious way.

That is so cool!

So Lada quality. Got it.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 3 months ago:
GaN is newer technology and more expensive to manufacture. It can power laptops like anything else just in a much smaller package. I have a 65W GaN charger that charges my work laptop while on the go just as quickly as the official brick I leave in the office. You just need to pair it with a USB-PD rated cable that will handle the wattage your laptop requires. In my case, I ended up getting a 240W USB-C JSAUX cable. It’s stiff but does the job.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 3 months ago:
I’ve been fired before. It honestly isn’t that bad unless you have absolutely shit financial practices.
- Comment on If reality worked the way hiring managers and job interviews thought it did companies would have to fire everyone when they purchased new software since no one would have any experience using it. 3 months ago:
In many industries hiring for attitude over aptitude is the key to true success. Just wished that was what most did.

That article is just plain hard to read with all the bold text.
- Comment on Qualcomm accuses Arm of anticompetitive conduct as its license is terminated due to 'repeated material breaches of Arm's license agreement' 3 months ago:
This definitely smells of Qualcomm being cheap. It’s got to be so bad that Arm has finally had enough. Wild.
