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 weeks ago:
TPM is Microsoft’s long con to ban ad blockers.
- Comment on “Zero warnings”: Longtime YouTuber rails against unexplained channel removal 2 weeks 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 weeks 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. 3 weeks 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. 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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. 3 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 2 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 2 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 3 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?
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 5 months ago:
Don’t make me show you the wikipedia article.
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 5 months ago:
Yes Mr smarty pants, if all copies of data are corrupted the data is lost. More redundancy is more protection.
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 5 months ago:
Use the checksum to correct the read, just like always. You don’t repair damaged ROM anyway.
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 5 months ago:
Checksums are redundancy.
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 5 months ago:
So?
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 5 months ago:
Why would it be any different from the real data? Checksumming is basically just writing extra copies with math.
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 5 months ago:
IT’S A FAKE!
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 5 months ago:
They say “billions of years” but that sounds like just the sort of thing a stray cosmic ray would ruin.
Maybe they’re planning on using a checksum for error correction like they do with RAID.
- Comment on Transparent solar cell technology could allow smartphones and cars to self-charge 5 months ago:
Go read up on CAFE regulations and then tell me weight doesn’t matter.
- Comment on Transparent solar cell technology could allow smartphones and cars to self-charge 5 months ago:
False comparison. Smart phones are volume constrained, cars are weight constrained.
- Comment on Ideas for storing electrons or light in a container 5 months ago:
Proposes a new sort of battery powered by magic, then claims it’s a source of free energy.
- Comment on Transparent solar cell technology could allow smartphones and cars to self-charge 5 months ago:
Weight is extremely important in automotive applications, and I see no info on how this compares to the weight of conventional auto glass.
Most “solar on cars” doesn’t get past the gimmick stage because of unfavorable power to weight ratio.
- Comment on GM cuts 1,000 software jobs as it prioritizes quality and AI 5 months ago:
The same GM that dropped CarPlay and Android Auto from all their cars for GM’s home brew infotainment just fired the guys who are supposed to build it?

I heard Southwest Airlines is migrating from Windows 3.1 to Steam Decks.
- Comment on [Game] Fix For Jackbox Megapicker Corrupting Steam Decks Released - Steam Deck HQ 6 months ago:
I hope it’s a case of the writer glossing over details, like it corrupts its own files in a way Steam can’t understand or recover.
The implication that a malicious app can break the whole OS is scary.
