- Comment on New haptic display technology creates 3D graphics you can see and feel 17 hours ago:
That was my first thought, as well. The second was that it might finally make displays in cars usable without looking.
- Comment on Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama. 3 days ago:
And that’s why HDMI can fuck right off. Display Port is new bae.

- Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 3 days ago:
Exactly. It only has to beat the user by a small margin.

I think Stephen Fry famously tripped over this one.

Also “pocketed it.”

Maybe try a phone that isn’t trash as soon as the battery dies. Something repairable.

- Comment on Fuckin' PSYOP 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes it’s better to shut up and be believed to be an idiot, than to speak out and remove all doubt.

- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 3 weeks ago:
I’ve learned to be highly skeptical patriotism in general, because it’s a fertile breeding ground for racism and fascism.
My reasoning being that, except in very few cases, those flying the flag had no hand in them being whatever nationality they are flying the flag of. They were simply born there. Thus any pride they take in the accomplishments of that nation is completely unearned, again with very few exceptions.
This unearned pride often leads to them taking personal offence at critique of “their” nation, even if it’s warranted.
Additionally their perception of what that nation is and represents is often anchored in the past, in the best case, or in euphemised half-truths and outright fabrications, in the worst case. This results in them acting as either a conservative force, in that best case, or start slipping into fascism. Because that’s what happens when you believe your country is perfect, can do no wrong and everything would be much better if everyone were just like you. - Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 3 weeks ago:
Weren’t they? If I see someone flying a German or Bavarian flag I automatically assume they’re racists.

Not exactly a claim to fame, either.
- Comment on EU confirms tighter visa rules for Russians to help stop ‘sabotage’ 4 weeks ago:
I’m suspecting a straight question à la: “Are you a terrorist?” didn’t yield the desired result.
- Comment on Does anyone have experience with Mumble? 4 weeks ago:
Mumble never tried to get feature parity with discord. If all you’re using discord for is voice mumble is a perfectly adequate replacement.

This article is based on verified sources and supported by editorial technologies.
Well then, list the sources, you twits. Also “editorial technologies” sounds suspiciously like “AI”.
