- Comment on Reddit plans to unify its search interface as it looks to become a search engine | TechCrunch 4 days ago:
Problem is they’ve been smoking whatever Google AI recommends for too long now
- Comment on Wi-Fi 8 won't be faster, but will be better - more details emerge just hours after Wi-Fi 7 protocols are officially ratified 4 days ago:
EasyMesh exists. But not many companies implement it.
- Comment on St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed 6 days ago:
The article says it started on a Friday morning in Minnesota. It’s clear that that’s when the attack started and not a case of the first guy starting work that day discovering that it happened, because the article also says that they tried to contain it as it was going on, but ultimately failed.
Minnesota is at UTC-5 and China is at UTC+8, meaning when it’s morning in Minnesota, it’s already 13 hours later in China, i.e. middle of the night.

HFS has this limitation but isn’t the default file system anymore since several years ago.
- Comment on The Epochalypse: It’s Y2K, But 38 Years Later 2 weeks ago:
32-bit systems could only handle 4 GB of RAM
I don’t understand why people always say that. Pentium Pro could handle 64 GB even though it was a 32 bit CPU. It had a 36 bit address bus. Later models are the same.
- Comment on Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours 1 month ago:
It doesn’t seem to be based on petroleum, since they’re explicitly comparing it to petroleum-based plastics…
There also are other non-petroleum based plastics that dissolve in water. This part is not new. E.g. polyvinyl alcohol is used widely.
What’s new about this one is that it specifically needs salt to dissolve and they claim it’s otherwise relatively sturdy. So maybe it could be used instead of pet bottles for drinks?
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar' 3 months ago:
To be fair, connecting some of the hardware I used in the 80ies is not straight-forward. But not impossible.
- Comment on Game Informer Is Back and the Entire Team Has Returned 4 months ago:
Just enough money to buy some physical goods, but not enough to buy so many that storage becomes a problem…
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 5 months ago:
Samsung had a smart watch with a curved screen and a 3g modem in 2014 (the original Gear S). I guess it didn’t work out.
