  Also a very valid point.

  Very true.

  Only 😏

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I hadn’t even thought about that. Excellent point!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that this conversation is even necessary is to me more scary.

  I used to think the Bush era was bad. I’d gladly trade that for now.

  Or at home. It’s not unusual for me to spend several hours at home on a Saturday.

  And discord. For fucks sake I hate when a project has replaced a forum with discord. They are not the same thing.

  Hopefully that half will go out of business.

  Being that it’s a known game and this is a sequel you may very well be right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also very true. I’ll just wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But what they don’t take into account is that 75% all at once creates an excitement buzz around the game that ends up causing even more sales then would ever happen otherwise. Look at games like Pokémon go or PalWorld that generated so much buzz. I tried both of them because of the hype and I normally wouldn’t have bothered otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When are people going to realize, in its current state , an LLM is not intelligent. It doesn’t reason. It does not have intuition. It’s a word predictor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Money means different things to different people. Look at it this way:

  A person is a billionaire and they buy your son a car worth $90k. That would be equivalent to if you make $100k and decide to purchase something for $9. Would you care if your son spent $9 on a friend?

  I understand your reservations as I would have them too. But keep in mind, giving your kid that kind of access to a network of that level is priceless. As long as the friend isn’t making your son feel subservient or lesser in any way, I’d leave it be.

  My only concern is that kids that come from that kind of money, have access to very expensive lawyers, and therefore take risks most people wouldn’t take. I have seen it happen in person where I live (well used to live). It was an affluent neighborhood and sometimes the kids of these affluent people were complete obnoxious assholes. Not all of them, but definitely a statistically significant portion. That’s what I would be more concerned with. Just my 2¢.

  Thank you. I never knew what this abomination was called. I’ve seen several trucks around here (rural NC) that look like this. Now I have a name to hate. 🤣

  I know right. Why is this not a thing already? I mean I understand the various U.2, U.3, and EDSFF are great for high density data center installs. We have a 1U box in production that could be as high as 1 PB given current densities with E1.L drives but that’s enterprise level stuff. I just want a huge 3.5 SSD I could put in these pro-consumer level NAS boxes or maybe even one I could build myself for my home lab.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IPv6 for self hosters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Likely because they’re old and resist change like me?

  Seriously though it’s such a shift from what I understand I’m very reticent to even start the process. I have a lab at work though that I should really start playing with it at no real risk to anything production. You know what, I’m going to do that next week! Yeah, progress.

  First docker and now IPv6. I’m so cutting edge 🤣
