- Comment on How AI broke the smart home in 2025 1 week ago:
Yeah, Home Assistant is the way to go, but it’s been a slow progression because every company is more interested in proprietary lock-in than trying to push for standards like Z-Wave. It’s cloud-based bullshit everywhere, which is exactly the wrong kind of thing for in-home privacy. There needs to be a better push for standard APIs and internal wireless protocols.
This shit should be fucking easy. HVAC systems are still wired like it’s the 1930s, and all it takes is one company to just swoop in and create an all-in-one solution that uses standards and monitors inside/outdoor/room temps, humidity, occupancy, etc. It could control smart vents to close off rooms that aren’t in use, turn on humidity systems when it’s too low and isn’t too cold outside, hook into other rules from HA.
Doing the right thing could earn them millions, but nobody wants to bother actually doing it.

This is a much cheaper and faster way to get nuclear power.
Is this “journalist” an industry plant?
- Comment on Graduate instructor who gave failing grade to Samantha Fulnecky no longer teaching at OU 1 week ago:
Texas has pockets of large cities that balance some of it out. Oklahoma has Oklahoma City, which is still GOP, despite its status as a populous urban city.
- Comment on Graduate instructor who gave failing grade to Samantha Fulnecky no longer teaching at OU 1 week ago:
Oklahoma… can’t imagine a redder state. That place is a lost cause. I don’t envy anybody who lives there, and has to put up with the politics and corruption.
- Comment on TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files 1 week ago:
That PI batch is particularly damning. I’m surprised I haven’t even heard of these bits among even YouTube circles. Maybe Upper Echelon is working on something.
- Comment on ‘No, I’m not a Human’ Clears 850K Sold, Receives Holiday Update 2 weeks ago:
The gameplay mechanic can be a bit trolly at times, purposely trying to trick you very often, but I had a lot of fun with this game. It just has a vibe that works a lot better than the jump scare bullshit horror games you find elsewhere.
- Comment on The Lessons of SOMA Are Timeless 2 weeks ago:
A while back, I told myself that I wasn’t going to watch any YouTube video over an hour. But sometimes, really good YouTubers that I respected ended up putting out great two-hour material, like Folding Ideas or RLM or Grimbeard, and I just ended up watching these things, anyway. I might watch it for an hour, switch over to something else, and then watch the rest later. I just did that with the RLM Christmas video they just put out a few hours ago. It’s a hell of a lot better than the fleeting TikTok garbage that is geared towards maximum overstimulation and minimum education.
But, I also watch a lot of YouTube. And I still have my limits. I don’t understand these videos that go up to 5-6 hours. That’s just a lack of restraint in the editing department in my opinion.

Nope, direct access doesn’t work, either. You got some cookie that isn’t getting saved properly.
- Comment on A story-rich open-world FPS with Max Payne and Cyberpunk 2077 vibes? All right, you have my attention, No Law 3 weeks ago:
If it’s an indie game, there’s a 95% chance you’ve never heard of the developer.

Meanwhile, in non-corporate, non-shitville, actual talent can do great things with AI.
- Comment on builder.ai has been tricking customers and investors for eight years – selling an advanced code-writing AI that, it turns out, is actually an Indian software farm employing 700 human developers 3 weeks ago:
It’s a London-based company. How would they know any better?
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Postal was a 90s edgelord game. It doesn’t really fit in this era. Even if they managed to make it, I doubt it would have sold well.
- Comment on Judge hints Vizio TV buyers may have rights to source code licensed under GPL— Tentative ruling signals a potential win for SFC’s copyleft enforcement push 4 weeks ago:
Hints? No, that’s absolutely guaranteed by GPL, backed by decades of precedent. This is an open-and-shut case.

Not sucking?
- Comment on Ron Gilbert cancels RPG project due to lack of support and funding 4 weeks ago:
It’s a shame, but also, there’s billions of games and RPGs out already. The game industry is so oversaturated, it’s not even funny.
- Comment on Tattoo ink induces inflammation in the draining lymph node and alters the immune response to vaccination 4 weeks ago:
This is just the same garbage rat study that has far too much attention with the press.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 5 weeks ago:
What the hell? Was this even peer reviewed?
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 5 weeks ago:
In a Petri dish!
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 5 weeks ago:
It’s the size of the animal that’s important here. I’m aware that mice can sometimes have useful biomechanical similarities to humans, but this is the wrong animal to use in this case. Pigs would have been much much better.
Tattooing is a delicate operation that requires precision, even using different pressures between male and female human skin, and that does not scale well at all for an animal that is 100x smaller than a human.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 5 weeks ago:
And yet, this single study has already pushed through the news cycle in multiple directions, thanks to its dangerously deceptive headline.
It doesn’t matter if it’s gets disproven in later studies, the damage has been done.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 5 weeks ago:
Because if fucking Apple of all companies starts taking gaming seriously, maybe Microsoft will again, too.
You can’t expect large megacorps to “do the right thing”, no matter how you define that. Linux is the only path towards open-source software and promotion.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 5 weeks ago:
Within a single city, hundreds of people get tattoos each day. A large cross-section of those probably haven’t refreshed their COVID vaccine, but only because they haven’t gotten around to it.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 5 weeks ago:
And yet, we manage to have hundreds of thousands of studies written about humans with human subjects. This sounds like a boatload of excuses that could be summed up as “science is hard”. Sure, it’s hard, but it’s better than putting out a flawed study that can’t scale properly.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 5 weeks ago:
There are far too many humans with tattoos that could have been researched extensively, but they chose mice. Mice do not have the same kind of skin density as humans, and I doubt a tattoo artist or researcher would have the talent to tattoo a mouse’s skin.
There’s just so many things wrong with using mice in this study. So many bad ratios with the size of the animal. I mean, for fuck’s sake, tattoo artists already practice on pig skin. Pigs would have been a better analogue, but honestly, they should have picked the millions of humans who were already tattooing themselves.
Of course, if they did that, they wouldn’t get the same result and be able to push this sensationalist science news title, now would they?

Bye, Copilot: Microsoft is making Copilot a hands-free experience on Windows
These two fragments are contradictory. Copilot is not going away.
Microsoft is working on a de-activation phrase for Microsoft 365 Copilot, making the UX a hands-free experience.
These two fragments are contradictory. Copilot is not going away!
It’s like the author doesn’t understand the implications.
