- Comment on Lack Of Interest In The PS5 Pro Is Forcing Scalpers To Sell Them For A Loss 2 days ago:
The only reason I’m vaguely looking at a PS5 is to play Astro bot. And it can wait like a decade to be available on emulators
- Comment on When a researcher and publisher withholds information then ignores requests -- what’s the recourse? How can science have integrity? 1 week ago:
I have a contact at cmu’s student journal (for what that’s worth). They might be interested in this, maybe if they start prodding around the researchers will realize the mistake. What’s the publication?

I mean, you could. The problem becomes “do you have more money and lawyers than McDonald’s” to keep pretending it has nothing to do with it in court.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 2 weeks ago:
I used to have these issues and I’m sorry to say you are, in fact, using it wrong.
If you find your coils burning out regularly when the tank is not empty, it’s most likely because you haven’t properly set the power on your vape. My coils have the appropriate power printed on them, and they only ever burn out when I forget to fill the tank. My current coil has been in operation for 7 months, I have 25785 puffs on it (the vape counts them). Before this vape, I didn’t care about setting the power and my coils would constantly burn out and I had the same frustration as you.
My current vape also does not leak, despite the fact that I manually replaced the seals when I broke the glass tank (so it’s not just that the factory made it well).
As for the liquide, yeah. Personally I buy base and flavor in the mail and mix them myself, but that’s probably also illegal for you.
Be careful with disposables. Their nicotine levels are way higher than advertised, because they want to build the addiction to their product.

The button already exists and it’s the install button on unlock origins page.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 2 weeks ago:
Obviously prohibition doesn’t work, but banning disposables specifically should be mandated everywhere. It is insane that a product that contains rechargeable lithium batteries is not rechargeable, or if it is it must be thrown away after less than a month.
- Comment on How does US "early voting" works logistically speaking ? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, not connecting machines to the internet is entirely reasonable (though in my opinion having them at all is insane).
That’s really interesting though, because your model creates a system where fraud can exist but can be checked (and thus it will, not doing it would be insane), whereas ours removes the problem entirely. I know that you personally don’t have the power to change it, of courses I’m just fascinated by the ways society manages to create deeply flawed systems and prop them up like we can’t do any better.
- Comment on How does US "early voting" works logistically speaking ? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, yes here too, but we’re still assigned a specific place. My voting location is booth 6 at my local primary school, and someone else in my city might get one of the booths at their closest location despite both of us being in the same district.
Even at that primary school, I’m only on the ledger at booth 6, if I tried voting at booth 5 they wouldn’t let me (though they would point me to the booth right next to them of course)
- Comment on How does US "early voting" works logistically speaking ? 3 weeks ago:
How do people vote at different locations? Here we are only registered to vote in a single location, if we’re away then we have to go to the police station and sign a delegation form to allow a trusted person to vote for us in the original location.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 early access should last "2 to 3 years" - it'll launch with "several biomes" and "some narrative" 3 weeks ago:
I was wanting to play it with friends but I’m just gonna have to wait for release. Subnautica on EA release was garbage compared to 1.0.
- Comment on 5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available 1 month ago:
PCIE 8-pin connectors supports up to 150W (12V/12.5A), but they’re meant for internal use, not chassis.
If you want to get 120W, chassis-mounted, your best bet is usb-c.
10 amps is a crazy ask. Are you trying to power the entire device with this port? If so, consider common ports (what’s wrong with IEC C14?).
- Comment on Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal? 2 months ago:
It’s a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying “loading Linux 6.x”, CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.
Either it’s a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

I’m currently waiting on support from both the seller and gigabyte but I don’t expect anything out of it, though I’m still yet to test it in a different motherboard.
- Comment on Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal? 2 months ago:
Oh wow congrats, I’m currently in the struggle of stretching an ab350m to accept a 4600G and failing.
You’re right, you should hit PCIe 3 speeds and it’s weird, but the fact that the drives swap speeds depending on how they’re plugged in points to either drivers or the chipset.

Read: Boeing could have been paying it’s workers 25% more, but was too greedy to do anything about it.
- Comment on Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal? 2 months ago:
I’m not fully familiar with the overheads associated with all things going on on a chipset, but it’s not unreasonable to think that this workload, plus whatever the chipset has to do (hardware management tasks mostly), as well as the CPU’s other tasks on similar interfaces that might saturate the IO die/controller, would influence this.
B350 isn’t a very fast chipset to begin with, and I’m willing to bet the CPU in such a motherboard isn’t exactly current-gen either. Are you sure you’re even running at PCIe 3.0 speeds too? There are 2.0 only CPUs available for AM4.
- Comment on Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal? 2 months ago:
It might be that the data to both disks saturates a common link before the second disk reaches full iops capability, and thus the driver then writes at full speed on one disk and at half speed on the other, for twice as long.

- Comment on European iPhones are more fun now 2 months ago:
The soaking rain thing has happened to me with a not particularly water resistant phone and it was fine. The water ratings are more intended for direct splashes and full immersion.
My opinion is that this is a comfort we can do without, especially given the ecology and consumer rights implications (not that a phone with a user replaceable battery is necessarily porous to water, plenty of phones meet both criteria)
- Comment on European iPhones are more fun now 2 months ago:
That’s the thing though, why is apple the only ones authorized to swap out your battery? That service isn’t free, and they’re massively overcharging you for it.
It’s also not impossible to build a phone that is water resistant and has a swappable battery, but that’s besides the point. Personally I’d rather have a swappable battery.
- Comment on European iPhones are more fun now 2 months ago:
How many times has your phone needed the weather proofing in the last 4 years? Mine is 0, at least twice. On the flip side, I have needed a new battery 2 times.
- Comment on I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release? 3 months ago:
I don’t know what this sub’s view on that is, but a hacked switch is especially nice, since usually the latest releases won’t be cracked right away but older ones will be

- Comment on Wouldn't it be funny if there ended up being a plastic-based life form and they wondered how they came to be... 4 months ago:
There are pretty much inert because they’re ignored by most proteins and are largely stable enought to resist chemical damage (oxydation is the big one). This is the reason we make so much of them, they’re useful as containers and it’s cheaper to make new containers rather than reuse the old ones.
That being said, it could happen that some biological processes start using plastic as an energy source and/or process it for parts. This is already done in labs with plastic eating bacteria today, where the bacteria produces enzymes capable of breaking the molecular bonds in some plastics.
The main factor is that there is considerably less plastic readily available than there is carbon dioxide, because the carbon dioxide is just there, but in a hypothetical future where the earth is covered in several inches of plastic, chances are that single cell organisms that thrive off of plastic could realistically evolve.
