- Comment on She was chatting with friends in a Lyft. Then someone texted her what they said: Ride-sharing company says incident was not part of audio recording pilot it’s testing in some U.S. cities. 1 day ago:
Lyft blames their driver but they’re the ones who gave their drivers audio recording software in the first place.
- Comment on YouTube considers a daily timer for users looking to cut back on Shorts 2 days ago:
Can we get a 0-minute timer?
Everytime I tell Shorts to go away, YouTube tells me it will bug me again next month.

I’m not going to play chess with a pigeon.
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 1 week ago:
LOL I’m not your chemistry teacher, kid.
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 1 week ago:
That’s not how radioactive half lives work.
Learn about radioactive decay and what half life means.
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 1 week ago:
Which is why your suggestion of simply recycling copper won’t work. You don’t have copper, you have a radioactive alloy.
- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 1 week ago:
Easier to get guys to take a pill than agree to a needle to the ballsack.
- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 1 week ago:
I suppose the longer term human studies will show if it decreases white blood cell count.

- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 1 week ago:
Yeah, but it’s radioactive nickel-63 for many decades until it all decays.
- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 1 week ago:
An exciting development, but the drug affects the body’s use of Vitamin A so I think they need more studies looking for non-reproductive side effects.
Night blindness and immune dysfunction are associated with vitamin A deficiency.
- Comment on Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production 1 week ago:
If it’s a small battery intended to be used a long time, pretty much a guarantee these are going to end up in the general landfill waste stream.
I wonder how much contamination one of these will cause if it goes through a waste incinerator. If they have 50 Curies of activity, that’s more than a million times what’s in a smoke detector.
- Comment on YouTube cracks down (again) on ad blockers. 3 weeks ago:
I think someone’s quarterly goals include “reduce ad-free viewing hours” because every few months we get a half assed block that is countered hours later.
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 1 month ago:
There’s really nothing much better on the chip market if you’re concerned about power/battery life.
Valve has no reason to get into a hardware pissing contest. They just want to grow the Steam pie so don’t expect a SD2 until there’s a compelling difference.
- Comment on Microsoft is cracking down on people upgrading to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware 2 months ago:
Website won’t work unless the OS attests the browser is signed and has no unapproved plugins.
- Comment on Microsoft is cracking down on people upgrading to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware 2 months ago:
TPM is Microsoft’s long con to ban ad blockers.
- Comment on “Zero warnings”: Longtime YouTuber rails against unexplained channel removal 2 months ago:
Sounds like a fake alias like Google docs generates, ”This document is also being viewed by Crafty Crow”
- Comment on ‘Humiliated’ mom sues Airbnb after ‘grossly inaccurate’ background check leads to ban 2 months ago:
Sounds like an open and shut case of libel.
- Comment on Google’s ‘Ask for Me’ feature calls businesses on your behalf to inquire about services, pricing. 2 months ago:
Someone using this sort of abusive service should not inflict it on retail workers.
I have better things to do with my life than answer to a robot working for a lazy jerk.
- Comment on Google’s ‘Ask for Me’ feature calls businesses on your behalf to inquire about services, pricing. 2 months ago:
There is an actual free teletype service for deaf people who want to use the phone.
Anxiety sounds like a cop-out to make things worse for low wage workers because you won’t deign to speak to them yourself.
- Comment on New technology could make fridges cheaper and more eco-friendly 2 months ago:
The article is talking about out using them basically in reverse to suck the heat out for ‘free’.
Still no numbers on whole system efficiency and it’ll be hard to beat heat pumps that have 150 years of optimization.
- Comment on It is time to ban email. 2 months ago:
What a shit article.
There are well known problems with email, but everything that’s been proposed as a replacement is far far worse.
Apparently we should all jump to some proprietary enshittified replacement because the author can’t figure out the right way to use BCC.
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 2 months ago:
Let me guess, I need to log into my Razer cloud account or it reverts to default settings.
- Comment on Politics content to be pushed on all Instagram and Threads users 2 months ago:
I thought FB gave up on using rage bait to juice engagement numbers?
Sounds like they’re choosing to repeat their mistakes for short term revenue goals.
- Comment on Matt Mullenweg temporarily shuts down some Wordpress.org functions 3 months ago:
A judge told him to stop using his nonprofit to actively sabotage a competitor to his business and he goes crying to everyone that it’s “free labor” to not block them.
- Comment on YouTube “Enhances” Comment Section With AI-Generated Nonsense 3 months ago:
They’re trying to get more viewer engagement for “free” from already burned out video creators.
Imagine if replying to comments on YouTube videos was a part of your actual job, wouldn’t you look for new ways to half-ass the fan service?
- Comment on FFmpeg devs boast of up to 94x performance boost after implementing handwritten AVX-512 assembly code 5 months ago:
Probably some BS market segmentation move.
I imagine they noticed only certain server customers were using those extensions, so decided to limit them to high margin server SKUs.
It would have been a smart move if there weren’t competitors putting that instruction in every CPU.

Did they ever fix the orientation?

Don’t make me show you the wikipedia article.

Yes Mr smarty pants, if all copies of data are corrupted the data is lost. More redundancy is more protection.
