Of course, ‘sharenting’ is a word.
- Comment on Experimental Video Game Made Purely With AI Failed Because Tech Was 'Unable to Replace Talent' 8 months ago:
Add “, yet” to the headline and come back in a year or two.
Currently AI may fail to produce a video game, but so was the case for images, videos, and texts only a few years ago.
Failure is a good thing because it’s preceded by attempt.
- Comment on What is on your to-play list for 2024? 9 months ago:
Loading screens for nearly every door. In New Atlantis you can jump from the highest building and glide with your jetpack back to your ship. But taking the elevator and the train gets you two unnecessary loading screens. That’s just not 2023 game programming.
- Comment on What is on your to-play list for 2024? 9 months ago:
It depends. I’ve put over 200 hours into Starfield and didn’t experience any dull or boring parts. But I noticed them.
It’s an old-school game with decades old mechanics, which happened to push all the right buttons with me. But others find it’s boring.
- Comment on What is on your to-play list for 2024? 9 months ago:
Star Wars: Outlaws. Looks really promising.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. I played through the base game twice, so I’ll need a bit more distance between the playthroughs.
Starfield, but only if there are significant updates, upgrades and expansions. I finished it twice back to back, so currently I’m a little tired of the game.
Any other single-player (action) RPG, that I stumble upon.
- Comment on Security expert reveals surprising way to make your password stronger: use emojis 1 year ago:
Thank you for explaining. That’s a thing most sites leave out: tell people how the keys cannot be stolen while still working on a different device.
- Comment on Security expert reveals surprising way to make your password stronger: use emojis 1 year ago:
The advantage - from my very incomplete understanding - is that your passkeys cannot be phished or stolen from you. So only you from your device can log-in to the site. Which leaves me with the question, how cross-device passkeys work.
- Comment on Trade in question: switch from iPhone to S23 ultra or wait for s24 ultra? 1 year ago:
Buying a new phone won’t save you money. Switching platforms will cost you even more, except you bought a Pro Max and no apps or accessories like cables whatsoever, which is unlikely.
The 12 series has lots of compute power for several years to come and will receive some full OS version updates. Its cameras and general hardware are great. So keeping a powerful, working phone will save you more money.

So why keep this useless, failed platform in the news? Stop giving Musk publicity of any kind.

Man, Mark Zuckerberg’s gotten old.
- Comment on Google Pixel 8's Tensor G3 GPU tests show weak performance but decent efficiency 1 year ago:
Benchmarks could become interesting in seven years when the Pixel 8 will still get software support. Making this big promise and starting off with this mediocre SoC is either brave or…not very foreseeing.
That’s quite a bottleneck and efficiency can’t tackle every software challenge from here to the year 2030.
Wasn’t there already a feature or two that the “old” Pixel predecessor won’t receive?
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
But your “solution” sounds like you don’t contribute at all. Especially none of the content creators gets a dime out of your consumption.
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 1 year ago:
Look at all the free image / video services that either never took off or went bust. Especially streaming is quite expensive and isolating only this single aspect of Youtube - cost to operate: what do people expect? Everybody wants few to no ads at all and no subscription either.
As I said, I don’t want to even touch any other topic here like Youtube’s (perceived) quality or their (spicy) business decisions. If you don’t like the product, don’t use it. There is no right to free consumption of entertainment videos. Imagine paying for a taxi like you (don’t) pay for Youtube.
And if you know better, start your own platform.
- Comment on Gen Z is ditching iPhones for $100 'feature phones,' and the numbers don't lie 1 year ago:
I have never met anyone else with this setup.
That’s what I mean.
- Comment on Gen Z is ditching iPhones for $100 'feature phones,' and the numbers don't lie 1 year ago:
It’s directly in the headline: Gen Z is ditching the iPhone. That’s incorrect in two ways: A) it’s at best one in fifty people buying aforementioned feature phones and B) they don’t even know if all buyers replace their existing phone or buy it as an additional handset.
- Comment on Gen Z is ditching iPhones for $100 'feature phones,' and the numbers don't lie 1 year ago:
No they don’t. What a rubbish clickbait article.
All they say is that there’s a (niche) trend of a few people using feature phones with expected combined sales of $2.8 million. Versus the $200 billions of iPhones alone.
- Comment on Is the ‘Mission: Impossible’ Series Due for a Reckoning? 1 year ago:
I never forgave them making Jim Phelps a bad guy. Worst entry in the series for me, but I really wanted to like it. Sounds petty, I know. It just dishonoured the original series.
- Comment on What was the game you were the most patient for? 1 year ago:
Almost every game. I just can’t afford most games for the full price so patience isn’t a virtue but a necessity. Currently I’m waiting to play FarCry 6. My old GPU couldn’t handle it but as soon as I’m through with AC Valhalla I might give it a try.
The only full price PC game I played from release that I can recall was No Man’s Sky (my hot take: it was great from the start).
The next waiting will be done for Starfield, I think. But that’s more for stability (“ripeness”) and mod situation.
- Comment on If multiverse theory is true, then there is a universe where it isn't. 1 year ago:
And even an infinite number doesn’t mean all. There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1, none of them is 2. So the multiverse wouldn’t have to include one that contradicts its rules.
