Yeah but then he’ll say “my spoon is too big!”
- Comment on Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them 3 days ago:
Your jellyfin server can just be your computer, it just needs to be running when you want to watch the content.
My desktop hasn’t been shut down other than for quick system updates (and it’s Linux so I do mean QUICK) in several months.
- Comment on Trying to Help 6 days ago:
Unused code is stripped out by the compiler, but will your homemade library properly use all the fancy instruction set extensions for matrices? IIRC it’s not as simple as just compiling for the correct microarch. But I could be wrong.

Or blueshift for the other half
- Comment on FFmpeg devs boast of up to 94x performance boost after implementing handwritten AVX-512 assembly code 1 week ago:
I think it’s less because of their efficiency focus and more because the chips already auto-overclock to reasonably high levels.

And most of the rest have anti-stress boobs so it all works out
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but Elon’s self-driving cars aren’t self-driving, nor are they necessarily safer than a good driver.
There are people out there who shouldn’t be able to drive, and in sane countries many of them don’t manage to get their licenses. But in the US for an example, apparently you can’t get anywhere without a car, so until the public transit situation is solved, drivers licenses need to be given out like candy :/ Exception being some cities with awesome public transit. The only one I’ve been to is NYC, where most people don’t really need to drive. I’d say the transit there is better than in my country.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 2 weeks ago:
It looks to me like the center part is thicker than the edge so the corner might not be flat against the desk. But I’m completely sure if it’s enough.

So does anyone’s desktop PC that they’re too lazy to power off and I can guarantee those will waste even more.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 2 weeks ago:
I’m exactly the same, if I was getting a new laptop I’d be completely torn between Framework and Apple, the polar opposites. Part of me wants freedom, upgradability, repairability… And part of me wants a super high quality aluminum body, a trackpad so good you don’t even need a mouse, and whatever magic they do to make their screens look so good even if some PCs have higher resolutions nowadays.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 2 weeks ago:
They’ve often been on par with competitors tbh.
The X1 Carbon isn’t much cheaper than a Macbook Air and ditto for Dell XPS vs Macbook Pro. The Macs have better build quality usually, but the PCs would get better specs. RAM, at least.
The Galaxy S series stars in the same range as iPhones do, though you get a better screen. But in the Ultra and Pro Max versions the screens trade blows and the iPhone is apparently cheaper.

Love the TL;DR on this one
- Comment on Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it 2 weeks ago:
I also switched after about 10 years of dunking on iPhone users for accepting locked up phones with inferior hardware.
Turns out the software experience is a lot better and if you want access to your banking apps, you have to keep your Androids locked up nowadays anyway. I’d always ran custom roms, but one day I couldn’t anymore so I thought long and hard and in the end just went to the nearest Apple store and bought an iPhone.

So… basically everyone but Firefox (and maybe Safari?) are based on Chromium to some degree?
Technically Chromium is based on Safari to some degree, but they split ways a long, long time ago.
Ladybird is eventually going to be a brand new browser on its’ own engine, hopefully.
Servo is being worked on again, so that’s something.

Marketing campaign seems to be on point because I hadn’t heard of Kick before this. Or the streamer. Or the contest.

Facebook and TikTok and such ARE the next gen of news distribution. Anyone can distribute their news now.
- Comment on Why Surgeons Are Wearing The Apple Vision Pro 3 weeks ago:
I always figured it would eventually have decent use cases, just not doing office work from home and joining meetings and shit like they marketed it initially. There are jobs out there in the physical world where easier, more streamlined access to information is godsend.
I do hope they won’t kill it off.

We have SmartID and MobiilID in Estonia too, but you don’t need it to log onto social media. You only need it

The other one is Ross, that was Mike’s last name in the show.
- Comment on there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites 1 month ago:
Yeah I’m not gonna be paying for NordVPN. They’ve got this much money for ads and when buying 2 years at a time they’re cheaper than, say, Mullvad? Suspicious.
I do like some of the channels’ sponsor segments though. Internet Historian is great, OverSimplified can do pretty good ones. The Map Men are pure gold though.

It’s not as round as 65536, but it’s still round enough for me.

Now I’m just imagining a table or something with deceptive appearances where it seems narrow, but the legs sit wider, so you’re prone to hitting your little toe, called “FFFUCKING OWWWuh!”, but in Swedish of course

Tbh I was thinking more about how I as an Estonian would pronounce it and what language that would sound closest to.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
“they” haven’t improved in that they still put out shit games; They’ve improved 76 yes, but they still put out crap too.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
On that note, how is Cyberpunk still 60 euros on Steam? I know it’s been getting better with the DLC and everything, but the game’s been out for ages.
That said, I might have to buy Phantom Liberty. I bought and finished the base game like 2 or 3 years ago I think and I really enjoyed it even back then.

FükkenScälden sounds more like Swedish to me tbh.

I mean it IS a nice round number and you can’t tell me any different.

They said “classic looking exterior” which the new beetle doesn’t have. But problem is, you can’t really have that, largely due to safety regulations, etc.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
I suppose they’re extremely common in comparison to other countries. I’ve never heard of them happening in mine since the 90s when we actually had violent crime.
We still have car theft, it’s just that they get stolen while parked.

I think the idea here is more that there’s one rider support agent per like 100 riders at any time vs one driver per rider
