- Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how 1 week ago:
I’ve seen a lot of people complain about these, then turn around and use Chrome. So, “no to Firefox because of the taint”, but “yes to chrome because it is the taint”. Makes no sense.
- Comment on Oh Great, the TikTok People Want to Strap AR Goggles on Your Face 1 week ago:
When apple wanted to do it, it was cool, it was chique. But when TikTok wants to it, it’s lame and stupid. -_- pick a lane, people.
IMO, the whole movement is pointless. If we can get a Ready Player One level of VR, I get it. But as it stands, it’s all pointless.
- Comment on US | Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP 1 week ago:
Good. Now expand to the rest of the world. Comcast and their partners are everywhere, and they all suck.
- Comment on Streaming Subscriptions May Get Tougher to Cancel 2 weeks ago:
Now, why would anyone choose to cancel wearing the trihat?
- Comment on FolderDrive USB-C flash storage drags computer folder icon into the physical world – Skeuomorphism in reverse 2 weeks ago:
Why, though?
- Comment on Lorde Fans Are Complaining That Her New Translucent CD Won’t Play on Their CD Players 3 weeks ago:
The album really is a transparent reflection on humanity.
- Comment on Windows 11 finally overtakes Windows 10 3 weeks ago:
The sudden spike is likely to be driven by enterprises rather than consumer uptake.
So… as expected. I’m wondering the Home market share of Win10 vs Win11. It would be interesting to see if people, as a whole, learned from the WinXP fiasco.

- 8.1 ok? Sort of
- 10 goodish
- 11 bad
- 12 personally, I think it will be worse
- Comment on New tool burns images onto Compact Discs' recording area using ones and zeros — unlike Lightscribe, the technique works on any disc 1 month ago:
I understand it only works with CDs, but does this work with DVD burners, while burning CDs? Or does it require a CD-only burner?
- Comment on A 300-km fully-connected quantum secure direct communication network 1 month ago:
This paper reminds me of the early papers on the “switching protocol” that became ARPANET and, eventually, the world wide web, from the mid 1960s.
- Comment on KDE targets Windows 10 'exiles' claiming 'your computer is toast' 1 month ago:
It was Ubuntu. But it was clunky and in essence just a vm. It was a cool was too try it out, but it was definitely not a long term solution. Ultimately, LiveCDs worked much better at testing it out.
I see what you’re saying in terms of continuation, though, but ntfs kind of sucks. If it’s any consolation, most Linux distros can read ntfs just fine now.
- Comment on Inside the race to find GPS alternatives 1 month ago:
Scifi has quantum positioning. We should develop yhsy. I bet ai will help
- Comment on Microsoft Authenticator now warns to export passwords before July cutoff 1 month ago:
I’m not talking about standard breaches. I’m talking about security laziness. If you want to trust them, go for it. As for me, I choose to distrust their security practices due to their long history of security laziness and neglect, that continues to this day.
- Comment on Microsoft Authenticator now warns to export passwords before July cutoff 1 month ago:
Not speaking about the evil empire bit at all, actually (though they are). More so of the security aspect. They’re known for cutting corners on security to the point that their security neglect has created the situations needed to cause some of the greatest security vulnerabilities worldwide. Read up on EternalBlue as a good segue.

trusted company to whom I could rely on for my security
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic…

Executive order! Ever heard of it??
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 1 month ago:
Just sounds like Windows is slowly turning into a web app altogether
- Comment on Tech CEOs are using AI to replace themselves / CEOs from Zoom and Klarna used AI avatars while reporting earnings 1 month ago:
In their defense, they’re probably one of the only employees that actually can be replaced by ai.
- Comment on Meta is making users who opted out of AI training opt out again, watchdog says 2 months ago:
They do care about your privacy a great deal, in fact. It’s said privacy that makes them money.
- Comment on Volvo EX90’s Lidar Sensor Will Fry Your Phone’s Camera 2 months ago:
They made friggin cars with friggin laser beams on their friggin heads!
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 2 months ago:
Yeah, that would make sense. But this is not the right use case for Signal at all. In fact (and I know I’m preaching to the choir), it defeats Signal’s use case in many ways. I don’t even know what they’re trying to accomplish with this.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 2 months ago:
I archive my signal chats. But, I guess, they need an automatic way to do that. They should ask their precious Grok or whatever tf it’s called.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 2 months ago:
Why not just use the official signal app, if you’re going to use it at all?
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 2 months ago:
Paywalled.

I think his “offense” is acceptable, if this one here is acceptable.
- Comment on Microsoft engineer reveals more details about Janet Jackson song that used to mysteriously crash Windows XP PCs 2 months ago:
I’m wondering if, like you postulated, they just didn’t add Linux into their radar for the data collection at that time, so they just had no data. So, while they only had data on windows, all OSs on that hardware configuration would have been affected, since it was a hardware bug and not a software bug.

Why only windows? I’d the issue was a resonant frequency for 5400 drives of a specific manufacturer, why was only windows affected? Sound is sound.
