  I look forward to in 5 years time where my 2 factor Auth app finally adds an arbitrary DM function no one wants

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameStop workers say its trade anything day will be a huge mess⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Stores are supposed to then take what they’ve received and donate it to a local charity. The workers have to figure out what charity they’ll partner with, and have to do the leg work of coordinating the donations themselves.

  And let me guess, they’re either expected to do this in their free time or not drop miss their targets if they do it during work

  If you can get an old final-intel-gen MBP in decent nick, they can make pretty decent Linux machines if you’re okay with not being able to do any internal hardware upgrades.

  tiny-dfr is your friend if you happen to get one with that touchbar F-row, which is probably the only big downside compared to a conventional laptop.

  I wish this only cracked me up like it used to

  And wasn’t followed by the dread these days that the country is half made up of morons like this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rich are ‘renting’ out their idle gold bars for income as prices remain at historic highs⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a weird way of wording that they’re putting the gold up as collateral for a loan or what?

  What value does someone get out of leasing a chunk of expensive metal, surely you can’t use it for anything if it’s just a lease in a traditional sense as you assumedly need to return it in the same condition

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They specifically mentioned the enterprise ecosystem.

  I would not be surprised at all if Apple’s MDM system is less painful to use for smaller businesses than Microsoft’s AD and everything attached to it.

  Also if you’re already dealing with one of those systems, an IT department is probably motivated to not run both and set up interop if they can avoid it

  Oh what now then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh that’s interesting, you’ve got me curious. I looked into it and some other company has already established a similar system involving “chef hat” ratings apparently. I guess maybe they didn’t want to bother competing with it.

  Apparently Michelin seems to focus on Europe, the Americas and South East Asia. Africa and the rest of Asia seem to be left out, though they seem to be expanding every year (the Philippines got their own guide this year for the first time apparently), so I guess it’s probably just a matter of time before other places are covered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty global, anywhere with a good restaurant culture will probably have at least one or two. I believe Tokyo is the city with the most stars for example, I would have assumed it was Paris or somewhere else french before I found that out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking News!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I was more wondering why do the name change at all

  But I’ve gone and looked it up now and apparently Wally is a less common name over there, so they changed it up to something more familiar.

  Which now begs the question: is Waldo a common name over there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking News!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you guys call him Waldo?

  but I figured, why not? And left my likeness open to everyone, just like Sam Altman.

  Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

  Honestly about as bright as posting your credit card details on social media.

  Privacy is something you can’t really get back once you give it away. Your likeness is just another part of that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's interesting to see what qualifies as a swear in different languages.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My favourite is the difference between French french and Canadian French.

  Many the uniquely Canadian French swears are oddly religious compared to French french

  FWIW I think it’s mostly gone the Aussie way in the UK over the past decade unless you’re taking to a pensioner

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable | Van Badham⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is kinda cope

  Practically everyone’s job is going to be automated away before long, the important thing is that production is socialised before practically 1 guy owns everything and has to pay no one.

  At that point things end up pretty concrete.

  These opinion pieces that pop up saying “ha-HA! Behold the petard they’re hoisting themselves with!” Kinda miss the importance of preparation.

  They falsely expect an easing to an exponential curve.

  The cat leapt out of the bag decades ago, we all need to make sure we’ve got something left at the end of it all
