The K5 is pitched as an “Autonomous Security Robot” and was unveiled in 2014. K5 units have made the news for various incidents like driving into a pond or running over children.

- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Idk much about the CEO, I only know that the product is good and see no reason to dismiss it just because 1 guy (who probably haven’t even touched it) out of 100s of employees did something that doesn’t align with my morals. As far as I know brave makes money from it’s ad program, bat value and other non browser services; VPN and premium versions of its search, llm, and talk. It doesn’t have “the firefox deal” so as long as you disable brave ads and don’t directly give them money there is no ethical conundrum regarding supporting a bad person.
- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Only if you are going tor only. Im no expert but imo there is no better general purpose browser right now, both in terms of usability and privacy. Default firefox is a joke, librewolf is decent but it’s fingerprint protection relies on blending in which is difficult to achieve with it’s small userbase or if you have a lot of extensions and it’s identity separation is done manually through containers while brave uses randomization for fingerprinting, that doesn’t have this issue and it does site containerization between all tabs automatically. Ungoogled chromium is just brave without all the privacy benefits, mullvad browser is just tor browser without tor, which might be useful in some cases if you are using multiple browsers but I wouldn’t main it , and it has the same problems as librewolf. Opera is Chinese spyware, Vivaldi is whole ass operating system with a browser functionality, everything else is dead or not ready or not any better so yeah… I’ll be sticking with brave until something better comes along. If someone here knows a better alternative please let me know in the comment.

It’s a great browser especially if you go through the settings and disable the things you don’t need, but the people here don’t like it because the CEO donated $1000 to anti gay marriage bill in 2008. There were some other controversies like injecting brave’s referral codes on crypto exchanges if you were signing up for an account and allowing bat donations to creators that didn’t sign up for it but all of that has been remedied.

- Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP 1 month ago:
Imo they should have kept the ipv4 format but instead of maxing out at 255.255.255.255 make it 65535.65535.65535.65535 this aproach makes the address pool more than 4000000000 times larger and is backward compatible with ipv4 so it could be a drop in replacement for most things. And if we ever do end up running out of over quintilion (18000000000000000000) ips we can just keep going up, to 4294967295.4294967295.4294967295.4294967295.

All the shortening rules trip me up. I’d much rather work with addresses with standardized number of hextets and ideally the same number of digits than not have to type a few zeros.
all of these are the same address: 2041:0000:0001:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041:0000:0001::875B:131B 2041:0:0001::875B:131B 2041:0000:1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::0001:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::0001:0:0:0:875B:131B 2041:0:1::875B:131B 2041:0:1:0:0:0:875B:131B 2041:0000:1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041:0000:01:000:00:0:875B:131B 2041:00:1::0:875B:131B
- Comment on Did ChatGPT come up with Trump’s tariff rate formula? AI chatbots ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok all return the same formula for reciprocal tariff calculations, several X users claim. 1 month ago:
They are reciprocal so should be the same as what other nations are charging the US. The formula for them is: tariff for X = X’s tariff on US, so no surprise here.

Yeah, fuck that mouse, there’s no excuse for that one.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 6 months ago:
To be fair, aren’t those mini PCs meant for HTPCs/home servers? You’re not really supposed to turn them off, and if you really want easy power button access you can just set it upside down. I’d say it’s a good idea if you take into account that it’s aimed at Apple customers who care more about “design” over usability. They truly “think different” over there.
