- Comment on The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap. 12 hours ago:
Can confirm. Decided to pop for a base MBA, but with 32g ram, about a year ago, and it’s fantastic. Unbelievable battery efficiency, completely silent (passively cooled), and still decently performant for when I want to compile something/do a cpu intensive thing. I’ve used MBPs as corp-issue dev machines for nearly a decade and a half now, so I’m quite comfortable in the ecosystem.
I still have my old T14g2 running fedora, though (in addition to a plethora of non-mobile systems). Also snagged one of those silly-cheap Acer laptops with a fairly late model i3 in it, because it was $200 and had a SODIMM and m.2 slot, just as a spare/extra (it’s running kinoite)

The FOV can’t actually capture that, if you’ve ever seen wearable cam footage.

Well hey, I have a few questions:
- Why do bodycams even have a user-accessible switch? Why isn’t some sort of magnetic or RFID/NFC mechanism that’s only actuated by the docking station back at the precinct?
- Why aren’t they running constantly for as long as they’re on shift?
- Why do police (or any law enforcement mandated to wear body cams) have literally any control or review capability over the cameras and the footage they generate? Why isn’t an entirely discrete and separate agency firewalled off from the cops?

- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 3 days ago:
I don’t think oncoming traffic “lets” the first car go. It’s more that if the person in the front of the left turn queue is on the ball and ready to go, he’ll scoot out while the oncoming drivers are typically looking up from their instagram or TikTok or whatever and understanding that they need to drive again.

God I fucking hope he’s not going to be anointed as the Democratic nominee.
He’s totally going to be anointed as the Democratic nominee.
- Comment on Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance 3 days ago:
This is a big part of it, imo. They kissed the ring.
The other part of it is that, per the article, this is an “AI” pivot. This is not them making more consumer-oriented GPUs. Which is frustrating, because they absolutely could be a viable competitor in low-mid tier if they wanted to. But “AI” is (for now) much more lucrative. We’ll see how long that lasts.

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 4 days ago:
Fair lol
- Comment on LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market 4 days 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.

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.

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.
