- Comment on Report: Majority of US teens have lost trust in Big Tech 3 weeks ago:
Big Tech though the teens were on their side? LMAO
Teens escaped to social media for a space somewhat free of parental authority.
Now SM is starting to emulate that authority and they thought the teens would be cool with that‽
What dum mf’s I swear

- Comment on This YouTuber Claims A Charity Using Roblox Could Be Squandering Their Players' Money 3 weeks ago:
However, the kids who play these games, donate, and urge other kids to do the same, are all being exploited three ways to Sunday.
Hate to break it to you, but most kids dgaf about “the cause” I bet the “donation” unlocks a weapon or hat or secret bonus level or something and that’s what they want
A scummy company is a scummy company, doesn’t mean the children are being exploited per se, they could literally have an in-game sign that said “Give me a robux and you can get this hat for your character” and theyd probably get kids to pay for it just the same

- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 4 weeks ago:
I’m aware, I’ve done heavy research for my own mass cold archival plans.
It’s a physics problem is why it lags behind HDDs so much, and to reach that 6TB on optical it’s a cartridge with literal multiple discs inside. Adoption or no, it was never going to reach storage density parity with HDDs. Hell, even SSDs are having a difficult time taking on HDDs storage density
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 4 weeks ago:
Biggest one could take 2TB per disc
I mean it’s cool for a disc, but HDDs still beat that, Seagate just released a 36TB HDD to mass market, optical always lags behind on storage density and speed
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 4 weeks ago:
For all their efforts in DRM, Netflix et al have thus far failed to prevent people from ripping their highest quality streams and torrenting them
My setup has had 0 issues grabbing the latest “streaming only” content very quickly after release
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 4 weeks ago:
Jellyfin/Plex + Sonarr/Radarr + Usenet + HDDs/SSDs
HDDs/SSDs are a form of physical recordable media with FAR more capacity and speed than any optical medium

- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 2 months ago:
YT is the one mixed, on one hand, the ads are annoying AF if you’re not premium and they’re becoming more user hostile towards ad blocking every day
But on the other hand, hosting and providing bandwidth for video is not cheap. Hosting and providing bandwidth AND allowing users to upload whatever they want no matter the length (I think there’s a limit of 10 hours, which is MORE than generous IMO) OR quality (seriously, who even has the setup to watch 8k videos lol) is REALLY NOT CHEAP
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 3 months ago:
I don’t think it will have as much of an effect on the auto industry I’m afraid, the auto industry is already well used to having multiple regional models to comply with weird country quirks of their own vehicle safety boards.
Any EU mandate will just get through onto the already existing model destined for EU countries. Unless the RU writes it in such a way to force companies to abide by it in all countries even non-EU, but that would be a legal gray area for sure.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 3 months ago:
I hope this gets laws enacted that force manufacturers to install mechanical latches on all of their vehicles.
Considering Musk’s love affair with the incoming administration, I wouldn’t bet on it for the next 4 years (hopefully)
In fact I’d be happy to just have the NHTSA avoid being dismantled in the next 4 years

- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 5 months ago:
Disk is king when you need lots of active storage.
When it comes to archival Tape is king. I would never trust an HDD to be left unpowered for years like you could a tape cartridge.
And a single LTO9 cartridge can hold 18TBs for dirt cheap compared to the equivalent HDD
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 5 months ago:
It’s almost certainly tape, a single LTO9 cartridge can hold 18TBs of data for cheap compared to the equivalent drive.
Blu-ray is unlikely, only quad layer BR have a decent capacity at 125GB each and quality ones are hard to find these days. Sony has even stopped making their blu ray based Optical Disk Archival system thing.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 5 months ago:
Not for long term archival they didn’t. HDDs and SSDs suffer from bitrot among other issues when they haven’t been powered and/or refreshed in awhile.
Tape is still king for long term archival, just about every major company uses it for the long term archival of critical data.
They may also use cloud archival services, because when it comes to backups if you don’t have multiple across multiple mediums and multiple places, you don’t have a backup.

- Comment on Police pulled over a Waymo car that drove in the oncoming lane in Phoenix 7 months ago:
Code enforcement for commercial properties is one thing, a simple traffic citation is another.
The responsible party is usually whoever is driving. In the case of self-driving taxi services, like Waymo, the ticket should go to the company the vehicle is registered under.
Which is super easy to pull up, so easy in fact that other automated enforcement mechanisms, like tolls or red light cameras do this with rental companies all the time. Rent a car and go through some tolls or trigger a red light camera and you’ll get a bill “forwarded” to you in a month or 2.
- Comment on Police pulled over a Waymo car that drove in the oncoming lane in Phoenix 7 months ago:
however, officers have to give them to the company that owns the vehicle. Doing so is “not feasible,” according to a Phoenix police spokesperson
That’s gotta be the biggest crock of shit I’ve ever heard, you write the ticket up, and you mail it to the company.
- Comment on Netflix is starting to phase out its cheapest ad-free plan 7 months ago:
Yo ho! yo ho! A pirate’s life for me, Sailing through the broadband, on the digital sea. With torrents and downloads, we navigate the waves, Seeking out the treasure in cyberspace’s caves.
We plunder and we crack, from software far and wide, Our digital fleet sails, with bandwidth as our tide. No map or compass needed, we follow the online trail, In search of hidden files, and secrets to unveil.
Yo ho! yo ho! A pirate’s life for me, With DRM to crack, and torrents running free. We hoist the Jolly Roger, on virtual high seas, Aye, we be the scourge of the modern IPs.
With VPNs to cloak us, and proxies in our wake, The legend of net pirates, just rumors and hearsay. So raise a glass of energy drink, to the life we lead so free, For we are modern pirates, on the vast and boundless sea.
Yo ho! yo ho! With every byte we claim, We’ll sing our shanty proudly, in the digital domain!

I think people are forgetting just how bad cable ADs were (still are?)
An hour long episode would be more like 40mins of content and 20 minutes of ADs
