It’s not even named “Big Ben” anymore I thought
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 1 day ago:
Sure, but for say the average laptop buyer nowadays not really.
- Comment on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels 1 day ago:
It is - that’s just how URLs in non-latin fonts look unfortunately. It, (and a ton of tech infrastructure) is hugely English/latin script biased.
The URL is Japanese.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 1 day ago:
Locked down would probably be a plus for enterprise.
But honestly I’ve never got that argument. In what way is macOS more locked down than Windows? In the hardware that it will run on yes. But for the average user it seems fairly similar on the being “locked down” front.

How free is the market?

I have a Roborock that supposedly has Matter support (over WiFi not Thread, but still) and integrates into my Home assistant fairly well.
I wonder if it would break without Internet.

Pony up for something expensive like a Bambu or embrace the tinker
'tis the way of things

Bypassing the battery?

I mean you could do that with most all electronics
- Comment on Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller 1 week ago:
Yeah I mean push through as in they don’t keep trying
- Comment on Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller 1 week ago:
I think it’s just an accessibility thing. VR is expensive, and it takes people pushing through some disorientation/nausea to really enjoy it. Many will simply feel sick the first few times they try it, decide it’s not for them and leave it.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 week ago:
They’ve released a version of every one of these before. Steam Controller, Valve Index VR set, a line of Steam Machines some time ago…
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 week ago:
Given their history with input devices and the fact that it runs an ARM version of SteamOS I would bet that controller support will be good

As a white devil I would absolutely fucking wear that.
- Comment on Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords 1 week ago:
I have a couple in my Bitwarden (Vaultwarden)
But I already have issues with Android trying to force me to use the system Passkey provider, and companies like Apple only supporting their own device’s built in manager for Apple accounts.
- Comment on New Year? In this economy? 1 week ago:
2009 didn’t seem so bad, relatively.
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 1 week ago:
Yeahhh you’ll get slapped with penalties for this though.
iirc you could pay your taxes once a quarter but longer than that and there are fines.

I’ve been happy with my Roborock so far.
- Comment on Engine fell off US cargo plane before deadly crash: officials 1 week ago:
Past a certain speed you can’t abort a takeoff. V1 it’s called. Basically you wouldn’t be able to slow down before careening off the end of the runway.
If they didn’t know when they reached V1, training dictates that they should takeoff and circle back around to land.

I’m not ready for a son thanks
- Comment on A hypothesis 2 weeks ago:
I’d take macOS over Windows anyday if those were my only choices. It’s UNIX so a ton of Linux knowledge is transferrable.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 2 weeks ago:
The most common way is basically calling up your phone company and pretending to be you saying you needed to switch phones
But also beyond just that the networks that route calls and texts globally are not very secure… and it’s not as hard as it should be to get access to it.

- Comment on 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames 3 weeks ago:
If you take a look at all the loot box mechanics out there honestly theirs is the least bad. STILL BAD and shouldn’t be a thing, but they’re way less in-your-face and also you can sell the boxes that you get for free just by playing and use that to buy games.
- Comment on Research shows 4K or 8K screens offer no distinguishable benefit over similarly sized 2K screen in average living room 3 weeks ago:
Depends on distance and screen size. I think 4k is worth it. 8K not particularly

I don’t understand how this is dystopic?
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 weeks ago:
For most streaming? Yeah.
Give me a good 4k Blu-ray though. High bitrate 4k
