- Comment on Steam Deck sales still going strong over three years later 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, once you reach a certain stage in life it’s basically the only way you can do any gaming at all.
- Comment on The Cybertruck is all tricks and no truck, a musky Tesla fail 4 weeks ago:
Eh, the massive front bonnet that stops you from seeing pedestrians is definitely a design choice, not a necessity.
- Comment on Report: Meta's AI Chatbots Can Have Sexual Conversations with Underage Users 4 weeks ago:
Oh no, sexy chatbots online? That’s terrible. Horrible! Where can I find those so I can avoid them?
- Comment on Uncovered emails showed how Meta struggled to keep Facebook culturally relevant 5 weeks ago:
I mean, whenever I look at it it’s just trash. Posts aren’t chronological, it’s showing shit from groups/people I don’t follow, and it’s actually buggy when scrolling and loading. Not to mention, all the people I actually care about stopped posting years ago, so it’s just like 3 people reposting stuff from the weird world of Facebook engagement farms.
- Comment on Your next phone could have a 10km Bluetooth connection 1 month ago:
Trackers like the Apple Tag would definitely work better with this.
- Comment on DOGE Is Planning a Hackathon at the IRS. It Wants Easier Access to Taxpayer Data 1 month ago:
Yeah, and you build an MVP in a hackathon, not something that needs to be relied on by a whole country. I hate these people.
- Comment on The impossible Steam Deck update just dropped. 2 months ago:
Yeah, I noticed it a couple of days ago with my OLED steam deck, where apparently that’s been a thing for longer already.
- Comment on Humane's Ai Pin was a flop. Now it's a recycling nightmare. 2 months ago:
Yeah, it’s probably just a few thousand. There’s probably a million things that are equally difficult to recycle being bought every day.
- Comment on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services proposes to review social media of people applying for US citizenship, green cards, and asylum or refugee status, to comply with Trump's Executive order. 2 months ago:
Yeah, maybe it’s one of those things where they announce a thing they were already doing to keep Trump happy
- Comment on New app lets homebuyers know about future neighbor’s politics. 2 months ago:
Yep, that’s what I was thinking too
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code. 3 months ago:
Yeah, I feel like I read the exact same article about stackoverflow 10 years ago. Junior devs will paste code from anywhere in their project until they properly learn the language/framework/platform.
- Comment on NOAA Employees Told to Pause Work With ‘Foreign Nationals’ | An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause all “ALL INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.” 3 months ago:
Trump thinks the weather stops at the border. This is some ridiculous shit.
- Comment on Steam Deck sales drop hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement 4 months ago:
I figured anyone that wanted one would’ve bought it by now.
- Comment on What if you could use your phone to type in text fields when playing docked? 6 months ago:
Yeah, it didn’t work for me last time I tried, but yeah, it could have been fixed by now. It’s definitely the right direction to try, it’s the perfect solution for OP.
- Comment on What if you could use your phone to type in text fields when playing docked? 6 months ago:
Does it work in game mode now? I thought it was only in desktop mode.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 6 months ago:
I have copilot in my IDE and it’s basically worse than the ‘dumb’ autocomplete that just builds off the existing codebase. Copilot knows all the code on GitHub, but doesn’t seem to know anything about the local codebase.
- Comment on Valve will finally sell the Steam Deck in Australia 7 months ago:
I paid A$1,189.00 for the 1TB OLED one, Valve will be selling it for A$ 1,049.00. To me, that wasn’t a huge difference, especially considering there was no indication Valve was ever going to sell it here.
- Comment on Valve will finally sell the Steam Deck in Australia 7 months ago:
Luckily we’ve had grey imports for a while that were pretty much only a few $100 more.
- Comment on Facebook is going to show you even more content from accounts you don’t follow 7 months ago:
Jesus, the feed is already pointless as it is. I’ve just given up on it already, but they just keep going.
- Comment on New Steam Agreement gets rid of forced arbitration and waivers for class action lawsuits 7 months ago:
I think there’s a bit of a sea change in business generally where arbitration ended up being worse for corporations if too many customers/employees used that option because it meant paying a bunch of money for each case instead of dealing with one class action suit.
While the arbitration courts themselves are generally biased to corporate interests, it’s not enough of a thumbs on the scale to make up for it.
- Comment on Valve heads to PAX Australia for the first time, maybe they'll finally get the Steam Deck 8 months ago:
I bought it recently as a grey import, it’s still worth getting if you want to do some gaming on the go.
- Comment on A European consumer watchdog wants you to be able to buy exactly as much in-game currency as you need, not fixed chunks 8 months ago:
You could charge VAT on it in the countries where that’s applied.
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 8 months ago:
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 8 months ago:
Even if they were working on it, they wouldn’t tell, otherwise a bunch of people would be waiting on the steam deck 2 instead of buying the current one.
- Comment on Portable CD players are back and now work with wireless headphones 10 months ago:
With current technology you could make them a lot better. Basically put 700mb of flash memory on the player and rip the whole thing as soon as you put the CD in, then play from flash. But then you get back to why you would want to do something like that again.
- Comment on Mystery malware destroys 600,000 routers from a single ISP during 72-hour span 11 months ago:
Could be an extortion scheme of some kind.
- Comment on Google is killing off the messaging service inside Google Maps 11 months ago:
Never even knew this was a thing. Sounds like it could’ve been handy if I’d known about it.
- Comment on Spotify is going to break every Car Thing gadget it ever sold 1 year ago:
But we’re paying for no ads. Spotify could give them a slice of the premium money.
- Comment on Spotify is going to break every Car Thing gadget it ever sold 1 year ago:
No, what GP means is that some podcasts have an ad break, and Spotify will inject ads relevant to your region/demographic, even if you pay for premium.
This isn’t the host reading copy from their sponsors which, fair enough, would be hard to strip out in many cases.
- Comment on US man used AI to generate 13,000 child sexual abuse pictures, FBI alleges 1 year ago:
I think stable diffusion is an open source AI you can run on your own computer, so I don’t see how the developers should be held responsible for that.
