- Comment on I'm surprised trump hasn't attempted to appoint his car to Senate yet. 1 day ago:
Pretty sure Trump has been chauffeured all his life. He doesn’t give enough of a shit about his car to appoint it to anything.
- Comment on Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages? 1 day ago:
login ceremony
What pretentious asshole came up with that bit of jargon?
- Comment on Where can I learn about networking? 2 days ago:
At least the AI-related videos of his I’ve seen were about running models locally, and for a relatively legitimate use case (training speech to text and commanding Home Assistant), so it could be worse.

Never KYS for something that’s somebody else’s fault.

They have Bluey branded apples now.
- Comment on There's ads on an apple 6 days ago:
What kind of weird antique car do you daily that can’t handle E10 gas?
I mean, let’s be honest: the vast majority of people who insist on that don’t actually need it; they just think lower emissions are “woke” or some shit like that.

Prior to my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily
That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.
- Comment on Louvre says hundreds of works damaged by water leak 1 week ago:
If they’re not “heritage artefacts,” they ought to be digitized instead of restored.

Of the movies you listed, Hackers is the only one I’ve seen. Hack the planet!

Contrary to my limerick, your phrase wasn’t incomprehensible, just odd.
Is your native language French? My Duolingo lessons lead me to believe that’s likely.
Rest assured, your English is way better than my skills in whatever your other language is!

That’s why they’re all-in on authoritarianism.
- Comment on YSK that in most countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Americans die in rising numbers 1 week ago:
Pathetic compared to 150+ mph train. You don’t even fucking realize how much of a backwards, loser country we’re in.
- Comment on Whats going on in YSK? 1 week ago:
I’m seeing the same sort of behavior in !fuckcars, and that community does (or at least should) have a pretty strong sense of what’s appropriate.
The kicker is, the stuff being posted is appropriate — in fact, often higher quality than the memes some of the established users post — so I’m at a bit of a loss as to what I (as a mod) should be doing about it.

Lack of marketing.

Sure, so does organized crime. What’s your point?

Copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws are all entirely different and have almost nothing to do with each other (don’t be fooled by the property-rights-hating shysters who try to gaslight you into lumping them all as “intellectual property[sic]”).
Trademarks and patents don’t have the same kinds of interoperability exceptions that copyright does, and you can’t claim to “support HDMI™” without licensing rights to those in addition to whatever copyrighted code you might need for the software side of the implementation.

I’m a little disappointed, but not surprised. This thing is designed to be used in the living room hooked up to the TV, after all.
The fact of A/V consumer electronics standardizing on HDMI instead of DisplayPort is kinda not Valve’s problem to solve, as much as I’d like it to try.

Valve tells Ars its “trying to unblock” limits caused by

- Comment on Why Are New Appliances So Bad? [41:02] 2 weeks ago:
Enshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.
This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”

Considering how much humans are attracted to aliens (both depicted in-universe, e.g. Kirk and green women, and IRL, e.g. female fans having the hots for Leonard Nimoy as Spock), nope, I don’t find it odd at all. Let’s be honest: it’s really just the writers projecting humanity’s own proclivities on the aliens anyway.

- Comment on Exclusive: jury in anti-genocide activist 'terrorism' trial 'told to ignore international law' 2 weeks ago:
You can’t not have jury nullification without destroying the right to trial by jury. Either the jury has the power to decide or it doesn’t.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 2 weeks ago:
NUCs (8th-gen or later Intel) are pretty much ideal for serving Jellyfin because the Intel integrated graphics can do video transcoding and the software is actually not very demanding otherwise, so the low-power CPUs are fine.
- Comment on Emotional abuse of children by immigrant parents probably contributes a lot to to why the kids hate their ancestral language. 3 weeks ago:
If it makes you feel any better, there’s no shortage of Mandarin or Cantonese speakers in the world, so you shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t want to speak them yourself.
Maybe figure out if any of your ancestors spoke any of these, and learn that instead?
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 3 weeks ago:
I suspect the effect might be less significant in humans (not human cells, whole humans) because of the square-cube law.
