That’s what I meant re: megatrons (the giant video replay screens they have in a lot of big sports arenas)
- Comment on LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market 5 hours ago:
Fair lol
- Comment on LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market 8 hours ago:
The only market for 8k is movie theaters and megatrons. It’s absolutely not necessary to have it in your tv in your house. And it’s also insanely expensive to get the proper hardware to drive it at full resolution.

- Comment on Why software stocks are getting pummelled 1 day ago:
Sorry, best I can do is make it take 45s to load the fucking landing page, and make search so baroque that it pisses off seasoned DBAs

It’s only core competency is convincing idiot c-suites that they should force their org to use copilot
- Comment on If the government raided your house and found a bunch of .mkv files but you insist its all legally obtained, how do they ascertain if they are actually pirated or not? 2 days ago:
I mean, yeah, if it was like espionage shit or whatever, but in the context of them trying to operate within the bounds of the legal system and try to nail me with some sort of crime and actually have it not thrown out immediately by a judge: not so much.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 2 days ago:
The only reason I had an epic account was for their free giveaway. And now that I’ve switched to bazzite, amc considering their poor Linux support, I’m inclined to just cut bait on them.

How are they gonna break my encryption?
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 3 days ago:
Based on the reaction to all of this, it’s kinda clear they do not give a shit. So we’ll see how the all plays out.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 3 days ago:
The orange regime kinda tried to do that in the first stint, and I would not be super shocked if they tried and actually did something like that nowadays. But it would also probably trigger widespread riots, if not outright rebellion in a lot of places.

Oh my god are they fucking serious?
For real though that’s begging to be casually and brutally mistreated at every opportunity.

Hey, ICEatzgruppen: this is how you radicalize fucking everyone. Hope you enjoy IEDs and snipers, because that’s where this will end up.
- Comment on Swedish study of 100,000 women found AI-supported mammograms lowered rate of interval cancer by 12% 5 days ago:
This is an example of how we should be using ML. Specialized agents that are trained for very specific goals. Not fucking psychosis-inducing chatbots and propaganda generators.

Also, hi from bazzite, which runs the vast majority of games I’m interested in flawless, and usually with even better performance than W10 (let alone W11)

- Comment on Ubiquiti: The U.S. Tech Enabling Russia's Drone War 6 days ago:
That’s… difficult in practice. Especially since the people involved in trying to circumvent sanctions and get this sort of shit to the Russians don’t just order things directly. In the interest of confusing and delaying legal repercussions for anyone involved, there tends to be lots of misdirection. To your point around money laundering: you’re kidding yourself if you think that sort of thing has been completely quashed.

- Comment on Mass Effect is one of the greatest games ever and EA makes good games 1 week ago:
ME1 was incredible, despite some clunky annoyances and idiosyncrasies around some game mechanics.
2 was a step down.
3 was …yikes. They spent TONS of time hyping how much impact your choices would have on the final outcome of the series, and then… you get to choose the red ending, the green ending, or the blue ending.
And don’t get me started on Andromeda.
Overall, it got a lot more rails-y as the series progressed, because that’s just straight up an easier type of game to make.
