- Comment on GOG's new owner says Steam is winning due to ease of use, not quality, while criticizing the platform for releasing hundreds of games daily that are "not super high quality" 1 day ago:
To be fair, Steam/Valve shouldn’t be the one that judge the quality of the game, it should be the customers by voting with their wallets.

At least they covered that 😬
- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 1 day ago:
The part that worries me is what happens when the glasses batteries are empty. Do they get fall back to “long-distance / myopia” mode so that you can still see at at distance and able to drive?
I love tinkering with gadgets, but sometimes the manufacturers of these tech-based version forget to cover the basics before enhancing it with tech.
A good example are smartwatches. They can be filled with sensors, but they need to at least do one thing well, and that is to show time reliably.
- Comment on Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things 3 days ago:
It will inevitably focus more on pleasing its public investors than anything else, therefore enshittification.
Maybe Steam/Valve is a unicorn, but it’s not publicly traded and it’s doing just fine.
- Comment on Creality's Warranty Loophole: How They Tried to Charge Us $30 for a Defective Sensor 1 week ago:
The NTC Thermistor apparently becomes really hot, really fast (near its rated limit), which in itself is not a problem, but the surrounding components are not rated for that temperature and can melt.
- Comment on Regardless of where you are in the world, the clock above the driver on buses is never accurate. 1 week ago:
The orange-red LED display used to display the next stop also display the time in between and it’s in sync…
- Comment on Regardless of where you are in the world, the clock above the driver on buses is never accurate. 1 week ago:
The ones in the buses I use seems to be.
I mean, they already track the bus using mobile network and GPS, why not sync the clock at the same time…

- Comment on Why You Should Never Use Pixelation To Hide Sensitive Text 2 weeks ago:
I use pixelation… but from other words overlaid on the one I’m hiding.
There might be way more “penis” than expected if someone manage to undo it.
- Comment on We can play that game too 5 weeks ago:
Social security is the kind of thing that everyone should be glad to pay, and crosses their fingers they’ll never need it.
I’d rather have a part of my income goes there and have the ability to bounce if life gives me lemons than end up in a bottomless spiral of poverty I have no hope to get out of.

- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 1 month ago:
In single-player games only, and when I’m done with the main game as a way of enjoying the game a bit more on my own terms.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 1 month ago:
Nice, so instead of targetting multiple platforms, a bad actor simply has to find a single zero-day to infiltrate the IDF high-ranking officers.

- Comment on Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down 1 month ago:
If you don’t plan on making a successor that plays and contains the features the userbase would expect, don’t name it like it’s a sequel.
They ruined the name of a perfectly good franchise just to attract the fanbase, nobody wins and everyone is angry.

Hmm good point!

As a general FYI, you can make a clickable YouTube thumbail like this

- Comment on Rant: Reddit has a huge problem with mods falsely reporting “report abuse” 1 month ago:
What’s the point in reporting and helping mods if all that lead is a ban? Let the mods handle the filth without the help of the community and see how that goes.

The lesson here is despite what a service says, don’t trust it and take the appropriate measures to cover your tracks.

- Comment on Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions 3 months ago:
Still, most people will look at the TV during the meeting, so all you see is one side of their faces.
- Comment on Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions 3 months ago:
We tried the owls in some of our meeting rooms and we scrapped those.
What’s the point of having a 360 camera in the center of the room when everyone will stare at the big TV anyway? All the people at the other end see is everyone looking sideway to the camera.
- Comment on Entry-Level NAS recommendations? 3 months ago:
You either have
- Easy to use
- Will eventually lose support
- May remain unpatched or
- Require more maintenance
- You can run the OS of your choice
- It’s your responsibility to ensure it remains patched
I decided I wanted something long-term, and bought a NAS appliance I can boot my own OS onto it, so I went with the Ugreen DXP2800.
I’m running Ubuntu LTS, with Cockpit as the webUI to manage parts of it, and my web services are all running through podman containers (aka quadlets).
There’s a bit of a learning curve, for all of this.
