• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn I’ve bought a lot of crucial stuff over the years

  I assume they’re my current memory kit too since I pretty much always go with them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Championship Manager 01/02 is legally available for free⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well getting this running on my steam deck has just become one of the top 10 entries on my to-do list

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Running Linux on a RiscPC, why is it so hard?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that was a fun journey

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix kills casting from phones⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol why?

  Genuinely seems pretty arbitrary given you need to use their app to start the cast anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there is not a pope without grey hair? I mean a much younger pope like 30s 40s. Really can't be that hard. You got an ocean of cardinals and priests who pretty much tell say?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a passive cosmetic effect once you get to that level

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨heads up!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That bastard again?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best vertical games on Android?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Goddamn this is knowledge you could have kept to yourself

  I’m only just over having balatro on my phone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’re gonna buy a nas anyway, how many years to break even?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best vertical games on Android?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s my turn to say it in a thread:

  Shattered pixel dungeon

  Best classic roguelike on mobile IMO

  I was going to also suggest Downwell but it doesn’t seem to be available any more

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was a student during the 360s life

  So much split screen Halo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best meal ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the meal inspo OP

  I think I’ll go and make this right now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3170: Service Outage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also these things are often cascading failures to some extent in that it takes a short while before the bad config or release has been fully propagated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, tough one. I’m going to maximise replayability and this assumes all DLC too

  • RimWorld
  • Factorio
  • Balatro
  • FTL or Slay the Spire
  • Civ 6 or Cities Skylines
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube experiments with messaging and video sharing inside its app⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective is Available Now!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  !!!

  Guess I know where my free time is going this weekend

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lloyds used data from 30,000 staff accounts in union pay talks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That feels like it should be very illegal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨¿Por qué no los dos?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh lmfao ffs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨¿Por qué no los dos?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh what now then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨I would like to meet him, he's probably nice ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A fiver says OOP has never left their suburb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK economy ‘doomed’ under Labour, says Ryanair chief⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If Ryanair doesn’t like what you’re doing, you’re on the right path

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you guys call him Waldo?
