- Comment on T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users 3 weeks ago:
Funnily enough I just filled out a customer survey yesterday about trying to by an unlocked phone. For all I’m concerned, they’re complicit in Google and Apple’s monopolies for not selling or much less unlocking phones.
- Comment on CD Projekt Red Still Seeking To Win Players Back After Cyberpunk 2077 Disastrous Launch 5 weeks ago:
Just for that clickbait description, heres the quote:
It might be a situation that never happens for some of them. But that’s unfortunately the price we have to pay for what happened. But I hope that, throughout the work that we are doing, throughout the things we are showing, we can actually win some of those people around – and when they hear someone talking to them about the incredible experiences they can have in, let’s say Phantom Liberty, or the next Witcher, next Cyberpunk, or next Hadar CD Projekt’s new IP, at the moment when they see there’s that incredible value in that game, they will actually reach out for it, play it and enjoy it. – Pawel Sasko
- Comment on When can we expect 500TB drives to be available? 1 month ago:
I always thought the holographic 3D discs were going to be a really cool medium in the infacy days of bluray and hd-dvd. I can’t believe that’s is been over a decade since the company behind it went bankrupt.

As someone de-googing, it’s not too far off in my eyes. Apps depending on GSF is a major hindrance.
- Comment on Qualcomm approached Intel about acquisition, report claims 1 month ago:
My gut says this would kill x86_64 and by extension AMD. My kneejerk reaction is no way this would pass regulators (monopoly).
- Comment on Omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior, says Larry Ellison 1 month ago:
Until they hallucinate and fabricate something that didn’t happen and then nobody will trust them. If you can’t verify that the footage is real, getting it admitted into court is going to be a real issue.

- Comment on Huge SpaceX rocket explosion shredded the upper atmosphere 2 months ago:
And to be fair, there’s a lot more terrestrial things that causes GPS interference. I work with a guy that runs a boosted CB radio and it causes havoc with GPS signals. EM geometry is really interesting on how signals get encoded. It was fun studying how CDMA and GPS work.

- Comment on No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke. 2 months ago:
Just wait, image manipulation will happen at image creation and there will be no “original”. Proving an image is unmanipulated will be a landmark legal precedent and set the standard for being able to introduce photographic evidence. It is already a problem for audio recordings and will be eventually for video.
- Comment on No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke. 2 months ago:
Well yeah, I’m not concerned with its ease to use nowadays. I’m more concerned with the computer forensics experts not being able to detect a fake for which Photoshop has always been detectable.

It’ll sink in for you when photographic evidence is no longer admissible in court

Makes me think that meta thinks Trump will win and meta wants to be on the winning side.
- Comment on Epic says that Apple has accepted its third-party app store 4 months ago:
Everyone that complained about the wintel dominance I always found humorous because their alternative was PowerPC which was developed by Apple IBM and Motorola and fabbed by IBM. Not saying it was put wasn’t better, it just didn’t feel like a better alternative on the surface with it being done up by IBM and Apple.
There were so many architectures and they’ve all fallen off the face of the earth. My favorite search engine when I was a kid ran on 2 DEC alpha servers.
- Comment on Epic says that Apple has accepted its third-party app store 4 months ago:
You must not remember the steaming pile of shit that system 8 & 9 was. Their focus on the education market was to get a generation used to using their products and they would stay in the Apple ecosystem after school. Their investment in education was mostly a smokescreen. They’ve also been bullying since the iPhone 4 right after they started having success in the mobile market. Remember when they said you’re holding the phone wrong?
Anyone in the industry during that time knew Steve Jobs was an asshole during his first stint at Apple and even more so when he came back from NeXT. He laid the foundation for this behavior then built an empire. The culture doesn’t seem to have changed much.
- Comment on Epic says that Apple has accepted its third-party app store 4 months ago:
Yes, but Apple is an industry leader. If they get away with it, other companies will do the same
