- Comment on Delta is fourth major U.S. airline to find fake jet aircraft engine parts with forged airworthiness documents from U.K. company 1 year ago:
All regulation is written in blood. If there was no regulation, everyone would be cutting corners and we’d get daily titan submersible-like situations.
Do you want a piece of suspension up your ass because a cab driver hit a road bump too hard?
Do you want your legs amputated? Because we can make bumpers go lower and more pointy to improve fuel efficiency.
If manufacturers could, they’d drop the catalytic converter and we’d be back to seeing/breathing cars spewing thick black smoke.
- Comment on Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane? 1 year ago:
Do you have a computer telling you that speed or are you just making a guess? Because I find it unrealistic to be +30 kph on flat ground with a mountain bike for 30 minutes.
I say this because I have a gravel bike and can only keep +30kph for long periods if I’m on a slight incline and I’m pedaling with a purpose (not full sprint, but you wouldn’t see a commuter pedal that hard)
On average people in commuting bikes will most likely be at around 15kph, low 20s on descents.
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 year ago:
Only a couple of the final pod nanos had built-in radio, the other iPods all required additional hardware to be plugged in. I found that the hard way with an iPod classic… Even my shitty flip phone had built-in radio with an earpiece connected lol.

Monkey’s paw: Google buys it
- Comment on iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F 1 year ago:
“several hours”
- Comment on iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F 1 year ago:
That’s the treshold for you to get a burn. No, it’s not instantaneous, but it certainly denotes that it shouldn’t get there at all.
- Comment on What games have the best mining/smelting/forging components? 1 year ago:
Don’t know about the best, but I detest games around crafting and I absolutely loved Subnautica. The whole experience become one of my video games.
Found it to be intuitive and streamlined. They tell you everything through the menus, so you don’t need to run to the wiki for recipes (albeit I did use the wiki for coordinates on where to find certain things) and it has a story/events that push you further.
The gatekeeping isn’t just to pad out the game, but it actually makes sense narratively (i.e. you need to go deeper and deeper as the game progresses so you’ll be needing new material occasionally. You can’t just avoid the crafting and complete the story.
They also offer multiple modes. I played the one where you don’t need to eat or drink, but otherwise is the same experience. But they also have a survival one where you need to eat and drink and another where if you die, it’s game over. Adicionally there’s also a creative/sandbox mode.
- Comment on How I imagine people who say their TV is just the same as a 70 foot high theatre screen. 1 year ago:
Well, unless you are watching the special formata most films are still finished/screened at 2k. Sure, the cinema DCP will be way higher bitrate, but depending on the title, you’ll hardly notice it.
Having a big oled playing blu-rays a couple meters in front of you will definitely beat out going to a random theater because of the freedom you have + HDR.
- Comment on OK Boomer Shooter: How indie games breathed new life into a dying genre 1 year ago:
I really don’t get the hate over the term.
It was ok to use “Boomer” as an euphemism to call someone old, but make it about games that often don’t take themselves seriously and are a throwback to when gaming started to grow massively, and it sucks?
- Comment on Madden should not be 70$ 1 year ago:
You can buy musical instruments for that price software or hardware synthesisers, for example.
But that’s exactly the point, I’d rather pay double and triple for something I know I’ll use for hundreds of hours than 80€ for a game that will last me 12 to 30 hours (I only play offline story-based games).
Even if I considered game X, there are decades worth of games availabe for under 10€ that I would rather get now or buy a Humble Bundle while waiting for a sale.
The issue becomes of all publishers start to follow Nintendo’s model and not dropping the prices much.
- Comment on Madden should not be 70$ 1 year ago:
-
The medium games came in were more expensive
-
The gaming audience was much smaller
-
Games were only sold in stores
-
If you add all the season passes you’re paying the same or even more with further microtransactions
-
Games in general now have a longer shelf life
AAA games in my country have been 69,99€ since the PS3 launch and now they’re asking 79,99€. It’s true development costs have ballooned, but I just don’t think that’s a good price/time ratio and rarely do I buy games over 15€. I really don’t mind waiting a couple years.

- Comment on Sony adds multipoint LDAC support for the WH-1000XM5 headphones 1 year ago:
It’s because you need internet to download the firmware. It’s done through the app.
- Comment on ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal 1 year ago:
The dude had been having inappropriate conversations with underage teens for years and defending pedophilia on podcasts/interviews.
- Comment on ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal 1 year ago:
Allegedly Roiland hasn’t been very involved in the creative process of the show since season 2. He just mostly showed up to the record booth (like Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane).
Dan Harmon (the other co-creator and) and the remaining writting team were responsible for it.
- Comment on ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal 1 year ago:
Weren’t all charges against him dropped?
Yes, but there was also a ton of leaked texts of him speaking inappropriately with underage girls and it also surfaced past instances of him defending pedophilia on podcasts.
- Comment on Netflix axes its $10 ‘Basic’ plan in the US and UK 1 year ago:
It’s probably 1 or 2 minutes of ads every 20 minutes.
