- Comment on Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’ 4 days ago:
Other than battery optimizations pretty much all of the issues don’t exist on something like a Raspberry Pi which is RISC architecture (Broadcom chips). Sounds like Qualcomm just doesn’t have their shit together.
- Comment on Figure AI sued by whistleblower who warned that startup's robots could 'fracture a human skull' 5 days ago:
Probably hundreds of movies show all the ways making humanoid robots can go wrong. Why the hell does anyone think it’s still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 1 week ago:
They fucked up by making their robots last seemingly forever, due to the fact they spy on you and get stuck every 15 mins so you never want to turn them on.
- Comment on Trump Lawyer, 87, Offers Creepy ‘Not a Pedophile’ Defense of Epstein 1 week ago:
Oh, how about “child rapists”? Yeah, much better fit.
- Comment on Stop cramming everything onto one Pi: treat your home lab like a tiny ISP - hardware, stack, backups and an update plan 1 week ago:
What about multiple Pis? Seriously asking. I love having a Pi as a dedicated server (small footprint, low energy, low temp). Do I really need to switch to a more traditional ITX/ATX form factor to get real reliability?
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 2 weeks ago:
I’m just glad they have dual thumbsticks now. I bought their last model on sale but quickly shelved it. Couldn’t get used to the touchpads and didn’t want to spend the next 2 months sucking at every game I played.
- Comment on AI country singer Breaking Rust tops Billboard with ‘Walk My Walk’ 2 weeks ago:
Obligatory fuck Spotify!
- Comment on God ****** dammit, here we go again 2 weeks ago:
Also 2FA. You’ll still want to change passwords but it buys you time.
- Comment on Governor Newsom signs bills to further strengthen California’s leadership in protecting children online 3 weeks ago:
An article about this bullshit: theverge.com/…/california-governor-newsom-age-gat…
Not one assembly member voted against final passage. Get your shit together CA!

So, a fire sale?
- Comment on Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC 5 weeks ago:
The Ryzen 2600 has a TDP of 65W. With a CPU with 35W TDP maybe a passive cooler like the Noctua NH-P1 would work. Still really hard to beat the efficiency of an ARM chip.
- Comment on Huge internet outage live blog: Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and more experiencing issues 5 weeks ago:
Funny. My Jellyfin instance is working fine. 😏
- Comment on Assign privileged port to caddy running with rootless podman 5 weeks ago:
Be aware you might have to resort to nftables if firewalld doesn’t work. I use localhost a lot and the routing rules are different in that case.
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 1 month ago:
Please stop! I can only love my Linux machines so much!
- Comment on 'Outrageous conflict of interest': Crypto is making the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars 1 month ago:
And the GOP had a shitfit when Hunter Biden made legitimate business deals and occasionally name dropped his father.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 1 month ago:
An individual wouldn’t verify this but enough independent agencies or news orgs would probably care enough to verify a photo. For the vast majority we’re already too far gone to properly separate fiction an reality. If we can’t get into a courtroom and prove that a picture or video is fact or fiction then we’re REALLY fucked.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 1 month ago:
The point is to give photographers a “receipt” for their photos. If you don’t want the receipt it would be easy to scrub from photo metadata.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 1 month ago:
Actually seems easier (probably not at the state level) to mandate cameras and such digitally sign any media they create. No signature or verification, no trust.
- Comment on Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come 1 month ago:
I don’t know if it was overhyped or too expensive (or both) but Drobo seemed like a good consumer solution to this problem. The idea of being able to live swap drives and have it all handle redundancy, provisioning, recovery, and whatnot automatically is critical for making this a true “home appliance”.
- Comment on How Much Energy Does It Take to Power Billions of AI Queries? 1 month ago:
Energy usage may not be astronomical right now but AI is going into everything. Like EVERYTHING! It’ll be running even when you don’t think it’s running, when you think it makes no sense to be running. Usage of AI itself will skyrocket and the fastest energy sources that can be acquired are likely to come first.
- Comment on The benchmark no one asked for: MacBook vs Legion Go vs Docker 1 month ago:
Thanks for mentioning Wolf. I’m pretty happy with Sunshine but I do have those occasions where it can’t stream because my monitor is turned off (upstairs) when I’m downstairs.
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 1 month ago:
If I took this argument in good faith, also consider your behaviors can be used against you and your neighbor. I’ve heard people say TikTok knew they were bisexual before the user themself knew it. Massive amounts of data on human behavior can be used to sell you the newest phone or the newest infringement of your rights.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 month ago:
As soon as I saw Plex show media that wasn’t part of my personal library I knew it was becoming enshitified.
- Comment on Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians 2 months ago:
In case it wasn’t clear, companies will gladly kill you if it pads their bottom line. Their only principle is “make more money”.
- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 months ago:
Ha! Watch us burn some liquid dinosaurs!

- Comment on The right to anonymity is powerful, and America is destroying it 2 months ago:
Clearly this admin doesn’t care about pesky things like laws. If they don’t like you they’ll pull any dirty trick they can to stop you. Only reason they haven’t gone after normal people is time and money.
- Comment on Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel. 2 months ago:
Same. And they basically jizz their pants when they see a practical use for AI, but 9 out of 10 times there’s already a cheaper and more reliable solution they won’t even entertain.
- Comment on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
If I try to get it to do more than predict the next two lines of code it’s gonna fuck something up. A nervously laughable thing I saw at work was someone using a long spec file to generate a series of other files and getting high praise for it. It was the equivalent of mustache templates but slower and with a 30% chance of spitting out garbage. There was also no way to verify if you were in that 30% zone without looking through the dozens of files it made.
- Comment on Ethical alternatives to Spotify 2 months ago:
I once heard that artists get more money from merch than plays or record sales (per dollar spent). If you want to support them buy a tshirt or something from their official site.
