I mean they’re the ones that manufactured it and sold it, why wouldn’t it be? MS just leant then the name…
- Comment on Why does a Local AI Voice Agent Running on a Super-Cheap Soc Matter? 1 day ago:
maybe you should define exactly why you think this?
It’s very simple, copyright. You’re benefitting from someone else’s work without providing them with any compensation for said work. That doesn’t suddenly change because the compute happens on your personal computer.
Today I wanted to know what the tyre pressures should be for my 2002 Corolla and AI gave me the answer
If you had actually looked it up, you might have actually gotten the correct answer, as well as learned that it’s printed on the driver’s door jamb of every car.
my tiny LLM query is going to use far less power locally than a web based search
Why would you think your local LLM would be any more efficient than a web-based one?
- Comment on Why does a Local AI Voice Agent Running on a Super-Cheap Soc Matter? 1 day ago:
Using a standalone LLM for personal use doesn’t seem like an ethical dilemma to me
What is the ethical dilemma, exactly, and why/how is this different?
Getting small amounts of medium-trust information on a subject, is a good way to get someone interested enough to read a book, watcha a YouTube video or find a website for more information and validate the AI response.
Again, how is this different? At least the web-based ones actually link to where the info came from…
- Comment on Why does a Local AI Voice Agent Running on a Super-Cheap Soc Matter? 2 days ago:
This isn’t speculative, it’s real and running, and it doesn’t pose a lot of the ethical dilemmas other AI applications face. Here’s why I think this matters: The consumer doesn’t have to do anything beyond pressing a button to use it.
Whose data is it trained on? Seems like an ethical dilemma to me.
Even worse than a web-based LLM, people are going to be even more unlikely to fact-check the often-incorrect information it’s going to feed you.
Using it will not be the complicated part. Setting it up will be.

That’s just bad modding.
- Comment on Reddit's AI Suggests Users Try Heroin 5 days ago:
The thing is, in the context, it was probably painfully obviously a joke. But AI doesn’t understand jokes. And they removed it from context.
- Comment on Amazon’s giant ads have ruined the Echo Show 1 week ago:
Something ironic about a news site writing news about how terrible ads are while showing you ads and collecting and sharing your information to sell to advertisers to show you more ads.

- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not going to disagree, other than to offer the obligatory “it works on my machine!”.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 2 weeks ago:
I recommend the opposite. Steam Game Mode essentially turns your PC into a console and has lots of in-game settings that are all controller friendly, and has a built in MangoHud for performance metrics. This is what SteamOS uses. But it really depends on how you use your system. You can always just disable game mode with a single command, and the invoke it manually from the desktop using
` ujust toggle-autologin
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 2 weeks ago:
Firstly if you’re looking to upgrade your system and switch to Linux, I would recommend switching to team Red. For a variety of reasons really but generally they are a better value and also will just work better with Linux.
GOG games can be run on SteamOS and SteamOS-like distros through Heroic and Lutris. Though YMMV. You’re going to have a much better time playing games on Steam.
Valve is not going to give you support for GOG but Linux is a community-driven project and probably the vast majority of Linux users are going to want to run games from other stores.

Why would anyone pay you $20/mo when they can sell their personal data to ChatGPT and use it for free?
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 weeks ago:
A 1TB HDD goes for $40-80, depending on how fancy you wanna get. That’s like maybe $20 more. Not that any of that is relevant since you can’t sell back your HDD so $60 is $60. It’s not a lot of money for a massive increase in performance.

Keep using your alt accounts to harass me after I blocked you. I’ll keep blocking them.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 weeks ago:
I keep saying 1TB and you keep responding to me with 4TB and then telling me I need to learn to read. No. Goodbye.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 weeks ago:
Think about what you just said for a moment. Where did you get $240 from?
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 weeks ago:
That’s not what I asked, and you know it’s not.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 weeks ago:
That’s not even remotely what I said and I don’t appreciate the insinuation.
SSDs have been very inexpensive for many years now. Enough that the power bill alone can offset the additional cost.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 weeks ago:
Do you REALLY need 2TB though?
$60 gets a Crucial or Patriot SSD, which are definitely not “bottom of the barrel”
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 weeks ago:
A 1TB SSD is \~$60

What other response is there? I responded based on my experience and you responded based on yours.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 update targeting key performance issues arrives next month, Arrowhead reckon it'll be a "noticeable improvement" 3 weeks ago:
Ah yes, because you don’t experience frequent glitches, and the world revolves around you and specifically what you experience, not me, right?
- Comment on Helldivers 2 update targeting key performance issues arrives next month, Arrowhead reckon it'll be a "noticeable improvement" 3 weeks ago:
Yes, in an alternate universe, where the performance is really bad. That is not this universe. I have no performance issues, personally. I wasn’t even aware there were any.
