  this. if they don’t come on my side the few times I hae an issue then that card is gone and if cards are just not providing protection then I see no point in using them.

  Last time it said I had a realy galaxy brain idea. I wish we could tone down the sycophant mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Folk are getting dangerously attached to AI that always tells them they're right⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  pfft. that will never happen.

  saw this on the local news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft rolls back some of its Copilot AI bloat on Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  windows 11 is one of the best windows versions. it got me off my ass and finally switched to linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI vibe-coded operating system is so bad it can't even run Doom — Vib-OS can't connect to the internet, browser app is an image viewer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if it made that after one prompt that would be amazing.

  Charter to take Cox as the US awed by its size!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vance says administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  gah. this is one of the things my wife showed me and I had to say look im not going to do a deep dive into debunking because it makes no logical sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vance says administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Vance got together with other members of the adminstration and decided they are all assholes so have to pause some medicaid funding. Oh and reduce snap some more. They will find more asshole things later.

  the company name is still meta.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fed report says Americans pay for almost all of Trump's tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just for the don’t read folks this is the fed (as in reserve) which is somewhat decentralized with zones and is the thing trump is currently trying to gain control of because its one of the places where he is not controlling the message.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 is finally killing off legacy printer drivers in 2026 — and it’s going to shake up a lot of older hardware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not 100% on topic but I had a printer that I thought had issues and turns out it has no issues under linux. One of the delightful things I found out by switching.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft sets Copilot agents loose on your OneDrive files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok yeah. It sounded like you had thrown some stock distros and had issues but it sounds like you use things, I assume, that heavily modifies windows and you have to do other heavy mods in linux that break things but windows handles the mods. You hear 8 distros and driver issues and start to think there has to be hardware issue. I have a pretty simple setup overall and even I have a old laptop running windows although its mostly due to laziness and cost. I know what I have to do but have been lazy about doing it plus I need to buy a new drive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft sets Copilot agents loose on your OneDrive files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What hardware do you use? I have used aspires and dells and never an issue. I use zorin but its just an ubuntu lts respin. Heck I use zorin because im to lazy to download all the apps I need and it comes with a lot out of the box. so I don’t even want to spend time on that. I have a long term plan to move to something like bazzite but its already been a year out on that. Although I think I have the app thing worked out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Server CPUs join memory in the supply shortage, pushing up prices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  um I actually thought cpu was the thing that went up first followed by memory. maybe I was reading articles wrong. oh wait it was graphics wasn’t it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am surprised this did not occur like in a month after a certain sporting event.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shanghai scientists create computer chip in fiber thinner than a human hair, yet can withstand crushing force of 15.6 tons — fiber packs 100,000 transistors per centimeter⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  so they say this:

  Enthusiastic claims by the university blog assert that a 1-meter fiber “could hold millions of transistors, reaching the power levels of a standard desktop computer processor.” But, we had to go back as far as the Intel Pentium III or AMD K6-2 to find PC CPUs with so few transistors. Both those legendary CPUs launched in the late 1990s, and they feature a smidgen under 10 million transistors each.

  but that seems trivial when you take into accout:

  The finished fiber has a tiny diameter, measuring about 50um.

  What I really want to know is how its connected and how hot does it get. Im envisioning a spiral of coil that can be on a meshe with a fan blowing right out the case. That would be amazing. Or if it needs more connections then a series of parralell lengths. Its like could you put them on top of each other with mesh that acts as a good conduction or having every other water cooking channels?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, thinks it can still be saved — despite some parts being 'optimized for nastiness'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_(web_decentralization_project) it mentions peer to peer but nothing on this authentication it has. Only thing that would make sense to me is something like the distributed ledger:

  In more detail, Solid consists of the following components:

  An organized collection of standards and data formats/vocabularies providing the same capabilities that centralized social media services offer, such as identity, authentication, login, permission lists, contact management, messaging, feed subscriptions, comments, discussions, and others.
  Specifications and design notes describing a REST API to extend existing standards, to guide developers building servers or applications.
  Servers that implement the Solid specification.
  A test suite for testing and validating Solid implementations.
  An ecosystem of social applications, identity providers, and helper libraries that run on the Solid platform.
  A community providing documentation, discussion, tutorials, and presentations.

  why would investors want that? it would result in loss of all investment as it is now an entity wth rights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's documentation highlights the different ways standalone games run on Steam Frame⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope the ai draw on the supply chain draws down by the time this comes out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia inks AI deals with Microsoft, Meta and Perplexity as it marks 25th birthday⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  just to be clear to folks. This is about wikipedia getting compensation for all sorts of ai providers grabbing data from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should AI Agents Be Classified As People?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  no but we don’t just tax labor. honestly we shouldn’t. tax the coporate income and don’t allow them to dodge it overseas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fall into the anti-AI hype⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The hype goes both ways. Its fine as a further abstraction of search but its energy usage is still concerning although I hope hardware technology will reduce that. Its generative funtion can be useful but is disengenous and so far cannot replace actual talent. It can also be a crutch as one becomes out of practice. That being said with folks that lack talent like myself it can be very helpful when you simply don’t have or can’t afford someone to help you. Its certainly going to improve and not go anywhere. Avoiding it would be like avoiding web searching to find answers in the aughts.

  to be fair the communisits often insist socialism is communism to.

  Yeah I increasingly come across the voice over stuff. Whats funny is when they did not even check it and the script is reading back the prompt. I mean its great for ambiance things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Says Tariffs Have Brought in $18 Trillion. That's Impossible.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  what has come has been spent many times over. ice has drones and military helicopters, a rediculous increase in personel and treats their vehicles as desposable. Then they throw gas canisters and shoot pepperballs like its confetti and trump just died.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obamacare Subsidies Can't Fix a Broken System. Rand Paul's Bill Could.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  from what I read sounds like it wants to reduce state regulations. so yeah. bullshit enshitification. obamacares most significant thing is not pre existing conditions and requiring insurers to spend a minimum percentage of monies collected on healthcare which is pretty significant things. The only way to improve it is with single payer.
