- Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse 2 days ago:
Well hey, I appreciate the recommendation. Maybe it’s time to get back into Windows 98 gaming. Just like mom used to make.
- Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse 2 days ago:
Not a bad idea. How do you actually partake that hobby? Is it more the same building things or the challenge of getting old hardware/software working?
- Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse 2 days ago:
Computer electronics are like my main hobby. It was expensive on a good day. This makes it unaffordable.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 days ago:
The backwards thing is, it probably actually is profitable, but we can’t see beyond the next quarter. We don’t understand that you can invest in your people.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 days ago:
Best I can do is fed interest rate cuts.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 days ago:
Precisely. This is extreme inequity. There are plenty of resources to go around.
The future was stolen.
- Comment on The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing 1 week ago:
I wish my English teachers didn’t beat me up so hard (figuratively) as incorrect use of ‘they’ when it has a long history of usage in the singular.
- Comment on we need more users 1 week ago:
Reddit search is nearly useless anyway.
- Comment on Why is kissing? 1 week ago:
With care and advance notice. No unexpected hugs, especially not from behind. Lid for every pot I suppose.
- Comment on Why is kissing? 1 week ago:
My wife and I do not enjoy kissing. It could be the autism, but the physical sensation is not pleasurable for either of us and we have never understood the appeal of this act. It’s jarring. Like nails on chalkboard when tongue is touched.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 1 week ago:
You can do that Microslop. It’s not exactly possible for me to not use your software even harder at this point.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 1 week ago:
I wonder how many surveillance dollars are going into that company that isn’t publicly known.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 1 week ago:
It’s been surreal watching my technically-inclined friends switch.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Relevant username.
- Comment on Sometimes it do be like that 3 weeks ago:
Do I need Lemmy Gold to view this?
- Comment on A BETRAYAL! 3 weeks ago:
Quality post. GG.
- Comment on The crossover you've been waiting for 4 weeks ago:
I did not consent to this.
- Comment on Angy Army Uprising 4 weeks ago:
I’m fascinated how similar they are to each other in the lower right panel.
- Comment on G-Assist is ‘real’: NVIDIA unveils NitroGen, open-source AI model that can play 1000+ games for you 4 weeks ago:
I want AI to do my chores not play my games.
- Comment on The upvotes have been removed for your safety 4 weeks ago:
Our latest operating system will help protect you from everyone except me!
- Comment on AI-authored code contains worse bugs than software crafted by humans 4 weeks ago:
We got a puppy so it’s definitely been my top one, plus of course the dystopian state of the world.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Current article title:
Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% “of playtime spent by all Steam users” was for 2025 releases
- Comment on Memorium 5 weeks ago:
Hell yeah. 128 MB of it, courtesy of my wireless router.
- Comment on The Stock Market is Just Financial Fantasy Sports 5 weeks ago:
With a positive expected value, in theory, so long as we’re able to sustain growth forever.
- Comment on How young do you have to be to get kidnapped and never realizing that you were kidnapped? 5 weeks ago:
I think you’re just asking when people form their first coherent memories.
This is about 2 to 3 years old.
- Comment on PSA 5 weeks ago:
When you forget your plumbus at home.
- Comment on My led lights suddenly turned dim. Why do they break like that? 5 weeks ago:
They don’t need to run failure studies. That basic characterization work is mostly already done for you. Component vendors (should) publish tables of mean time between failure for the components you’re buying that can be used to get a rough estimation with just a few minutes of effort. Typically it’s indexed by temperature, like for caps.
Now, does the bottom of the market actually use those tables? I can’t say for sure. I know one high power headlamp company does this for their LED drivers to balance lifetime with output, but I can’t know for sure what every business does.
- Comment on Eat more fibre or something 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t even read the title, haha. That wasn’t meant to be a correction but a suggestion that the frog dude get more fibre.
- Comment on Eat more fibre or something 5 weeks ago:
Fiber.
- Comment on My led lights suddenly turned dim. Why do they break like that? 5 weeks ago:
The LED bulb itself is not typically the reason that these fail. There’s also complex regulation circuitry which consists of far more complex components than a single LED. Electrolytic capacitors and driver circuits can have shorter lifetimes than the actual bulb.
With that said, manufacturers know this, so they also tend to overdrive lower cost LEDs to bring the failure rates in line with the rest of the circuit. This sounds like this may be what has happened to you just based on the dimming, but without knowing exactly how they have wired it up, it’s difficult to be sure.
