Im really starting to see SkyNets argument as I get older.

I did not know that! Learned something new and that Firefox on iPhone doesn’t know what to do with it.

Yeah I have that and etsi.me on hand. Thus far there has not been a time when both were unavailable.

I really hope people start to find out about SearX search. It gives the OG Google experience from what I have seen. searx.work
- Comment on What is the purpose of this plastic piece? 1 month ago:
I’m of the opinion that it’s just to improve the perception of package quality. I don’t see those cheap plastic pieces as keeping the prongs from accidentally warping or bending but I guess they could keep moisture away. I’ve never received a corroded set of prongs before their use though so my theory stands as they are upping the packaging visual aesthetics.

- Comment on Infinite energy is easy. Point a flashlight at a solar charger that charges a flashlight pointed at a solar charger that charges the first flashlight. 2 months ago:
I use my neighbors hose to power a water wheel for infinite energy. No one knows where the water comes from but i assume it’s free.
- Comment on If Russia takes out all the Internet cables like the news is saying. How much of that traffic can be re-routed to satellite? 2 months ago:
You have to remember that the cloud is just a series of data centers owned by cloud providers. If you are Netflix, you’re not hosting Stranger Things for audiences in the US from the EU. You have a copy of it in both places and leverage AWS regions in each area to server geographically closer users (it’s typically called latency based routing). If the undersea cables are cut, the EU still watches Netflix because the content doesn’t need to travel undersea, it’s already in the EU, same thing in the US. The challenge comes in at the end of the month when people pay their Netflix bills and the banks needs to process international payments. End users are largely not impacted by direct service outages but big companies are.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 2 months ago:
The one thing that LLMs have done for me is to make summarizing and correlating data in documents really easy. Take 20 docs of notes about a project and have it summarize where they are at so I can get up to speed quickly. Works surprisingly well. I haven’t had luck with code requests.

We will all be given old school Casio calculators a d sent to crunch numbers in the bitcoin mines.
- Comment on NASA says astronauts stuck in space will not return on Boeing capsule, will wait for SpaceX craft 2 months ago:
It’s sad that the two options are SpaceX and Boeing. Neither Musk nor Boeing inspire confidence in safety. NASA should have just developed their own crewed capsule.
- Comment on Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating 2 months ago:
The article says when he started at Chipotle they were headquartered in Denver but dickbag moved it to Newport Beach so it was closer. Guessing the same thing will happen to Starbucks. He will (randomly) decide that Newport Beach is a better location for a global coffee chain than Seattle.
- Comment on Would you like a receipt? 2 months ago:
Similar but I scan mine for reimbursement as the majority of times I am buying stuff while outside the house it is a business expense. This statement makes me realize I need to leave the house more often for non work purposes.
- Comment on Boeing Spacecraft: They'll never let you down! 3 months ago:
NASA and Boeing disagree on the safety of the return trip. I think I’ll side with nasa on safety related questions here.
- Comment on This mini ITX board combines Alder Lake-N processor with 10 Gb and 2.5 GbE networking and up to 8 storage devices (2 x NVMe + 6 x SATA) - Liliputing 3 months ago:
Could be good as a firewall with PFSense or something. 2.5gb to the ISP and a 10gb trunk port. Would be an upgrade for me. All I would use is a drive in it though.
- Comment on If you live a million years you'll still never understand why someone would park right next to you in a forest campground when there's dozens upon dozens of empty spots with more privacy available. 4 months ago:
I don’t want my car to be lonely while I’m out in nature. If you’re lonely, they’re lonely…give them a friend.
- Comment on Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week 4 months ago:
I am curious as to how they plan on handling dark sites moving forward. They appear to be gradually removing all references to local accounts and disabling local account installers. Is the goal to push all dark site deployments off of Windows?
- Comment on Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined 4 months ago:
My main thought here is that if they were based out of a non-US location, maybe they could have kept on operating. If I were Cuban, I’d be looking to startup something like this and offer global services. Hardware is cheap so the main cost is bandwidth which has been coming down. You would have trouble with CDNs as they would get muscled out of supporting the platform but that could be overcome with geographic partners.
- Comment on Elon Musk has another secret child with exec at his brain implant company 4 months ago:
I cant even picture how he would have meaningful relationships with the children as they have three different mothers so at least three different households on top of him being CEO of multiple companies. I wonder how often he even sees the kids. Maybe this is the Republican dream of spawning more children but never having to raise or care for any of them outside of maybe an annual trip to Disney Land or some shit.
- Comment on Get Pasteurised 4 months ago:
This whole raw milk thing is truly breaking my remaining faith in humanity. Like I saw how we responded to COVID and everything we’ve done across the past hundred plus years in destroying environments, greed, and selfishness but for some reason this raw milk saga is kinda like the straw that broke the camels back. Just intentionally trying to work against the whole species.
- Comment on Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira 5 months ago:
Probably going to be what happened to Toys R Us where the company currently has value but private equity will pull out cash and anything not bolted down and load up what remains with extreme amounts of debt before abandoning what remains. The skeleton of a company that remains will be viewed as unviable as it will have large amounts of debt and no cash once the vultures have stripped everything off.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 6 months ago:
Except that is what China already does. Cloud providers with regions in China have to utilize a local partner company which gives access to the whole tech stack. It’s a reason that AWS China regions were always so far behind in service offerings to the rest of the AWS regions.
- Comment on Tesla’s in its flop era 6 months ago:
I would have thought the same thing but the after hours ticker has the stock up damn near $20 which is just insane to me.
- Comment on Papua New Guinea leader responds to Biden comment, saying nation undeserving of cannibalism label 6 months ago:
Sounds like something a cannibal would say.
- Comment on The Tiny Ultrabright Laser that Can Melt Steel 6 months ago:
That was incredibly interesting to read. I don’t know anything about lasers but am now heading down the rabbit hole.
- Comment on Humane AI Pin review: not even close 7 months ago:
That was my thought, someone watched Star Trek and wanted to give it a go. I am always in favor of pursuing Star Trek tech so I hope this makes improvements.
- Comment on America Is Sick of Swiping 7 months ago:
The last time I saw someone ask this question, the general response was to start participating in new hobbies and meeting people. Considering that our time is typically already packed full if you try and eat healthy, have a job, go to the gym, hang out with friends there isn’t a whole lot of extra time for new hobbies and activities. That response always felt so empty like if I had that much free time I would have already been doing something fun with it. Dating apps seem to me like the only option to date outside your existing social circle. It’s a sign of the times and our lack of time.
- Comment on Microsoft reveals costs of Windows 10 end of life security update — and it might be more than you'd expect 7 months ago:
I appreciate the recommendation! I’ll check out FlexASIO and QJackCtl.
