Oh, lol, my bad
- Comment on World's Biggest Battery-Electric Ferry Enters Commercial Service 4 days ago:
I don’t think you get to choose the boat. I is part of a ferry system in South America, and varies depending on origin and destination. They don’t charge more for the electric boat, it is just now part of their fleet
- Comment on Would Metaphor ReFantzio Steam Deck OLED or Switch 3? 4 days ago:
Looks like it runs good, but some text is small on the deck. www.protondb.com/app/2679460?device=steamDeck
The switch 2 version removed depth of field and has lower red textures.
Seems like both run well, just depends on how much you are into the graphics

I played the first one. It was good enough up until the end when they blamed everything on the main character’s PTSD.
- Comment on Long-lost horror gaming cult classic P.T. gets a much-needed PC port 3 weeks ago:
There is more than one reason to avoid AI developed software. We have no idea if they used a local model, or are paying one of the shit companies pushing AI into everything. We don’t know the skill level of the dev and if they have the ability to quality check the AI code. We don’t know if there are potential security vulnerabilities because of AI code (hopefully less likely in this kind of project). That is all in addition to the greater issues with AI.
- Comment on Long-lost horror gaming cult classic P.T. gets a much-needed PC port 3 weeks ago:
The article is a little vague on the AI use in this project, and does not seem to tell the whole story. Here is the disclosure of the usage from the git project page:
“AI coding tools were used in developing and debugging this port. My focus has been on matching the original P.T.: comparing builds with PS4 references, identifying discrepancies, testing gameplay and prioritizing fixes.
The project uses the original game assets from the player’s own PS4 copy. Optional upscalers and neural rendering use machine-learning models when enabled.”
Still pretty vague.
- Comment on US being left behind in EV charging speeds as China goes sub-5 min to 70% 1 month ago:
It wasn’t half the country, it was half of the people that voted, and voter turnout was 63.7%. I am always annoyed by this particular argument because the republicans are doing so much to disenfranchise voters. They are wild unpopular, they are also wildly corrupt. Not that dems are better, mind you, but painting half the country as racist fascists is just plain wrong
- Comment on US being left behind in EV charging speeds as China goes sub-5 min to 70% 1 month ago:
The same is true in the US. Charging infrastructure has been getting better and better. Not perfect, and China is beating us hands down, but it is 100% doable nowadays. Aging Wheels has several great videos about EV charging on trips.
Like another commenter said, charging at businesses and homes needs to be improved. Apartments should be adding outlets next to parking spots and cities adding them on streets.
- Comment on Squirted Glock comp that doesn't suck 1 month ago:
I’m in the PNW, so ideal conditions outside the house are uncommon. PETG or ABS seem better suited, but I for sure don’t have the gun expertise
- Comment on Squirted Glock comp that doesn't suck 1 month ago:
Reverse experience and I am also surprised. Seems like the worst material for almost anything around a gun
- Comment on Squirted Glock comp that doesn't suck 1 month ago:
I live in the US and it’s not the gun ownership that was weird to me. Beehaw has never really been a hotbed of 2A activity, so seeing something about it was weird. I don’t see an issue with this post, other than maybe wrong community. Also not sure on the rules around gun posting
- Comment on Squirted Glock comp that doesn't suck 1 month ago:
I might be able to translate based on my experience in 3D printing. I do not have a guns, though, which is what this appears to be about.
Glock is a gun manufacturer. Invader v2 is probably a specific model.
Squirted seems to be a slang term for 3D printed.
PLA is the most common kind of 3D printing material/filament.
A compensator is an attachment for a gun that I believe reduces recoil, but don’t quote me on that.
Lade I think is a typo and they meant made.
The image is of said 3D printed attachment on the business end of a pistol, presumably the aforementioned Glock Invader v2.
Definitely seems out of place on Beehaw.
- Comment on The Steam Frame Is More Than Just Another VR Headset - Aftermath (Chris Person) 1 month ago:
They could not have known you wanted no other information and that you did not want a video. All you mentioned was the battery life.
- Comment on The Steam Frame Is More Than Just Another VR Headset - Aftermath (Chris Person) 1 month ago:
lol, saying the thing you did is not antagonistic. I don’t even think what you did was antagonist. My point was that you weren’t specific. You never said no videos, no other information. Someone gave you a thing that includes what you said you wanted, and you were like, “No, this isn’t right, and also I will have to wait for the thing that is closer to what I want but still isn’t right” It was funny. In that “How could the person who was literally trying to help have known?” kind of way.
Like, just say, “Thanks, but this isn’t what I was looking for for [these reasons]. I didn’t state them ahead of time”
- Comment on The Steam Frame Is More Than Just Another VR Headset - Aftermath (Chris Person) 1 month ago:
No, but your reaction was. You were given the thing you asked for, then complained. Then complained the thing wasn’t in a different format not previously specified. Like, someone was trying to be helpful without much context and you were like, “No, this is the wrong kind of help”
- Comment on The Steam Frame Is More Than Just Another VR Headset - Aftermath (Chris Person) 1 month ago:
“This review is not comprehensive enough”
Handed review that is more comprehensive
“This review is too comprehensive and also I have to wait for an extra thing they do as a bonus”
Quite the take
- Comment on Flock is canceled—and its competitors are profiting 1 month ago:
I 100% get where you’re coming from. I don’t even disagree that it is a simple excuse to ignore responsibility. From experience, I know police departments simply don’t care about that. Look at Seattle Police. They spent 13 years under federal oversight, marginally improved, then the feds ended it, despite still being incredibly horrible to non-white, non-straight people.
- Comment on Flock is canceled—and its competitors are profiting 2 months ago:
I don’t that level of faith in the court, especially the SCOTUS, to have that level of optimism.
- Comment on Flock is canceled—and its competitors are profiting 2 months ago:
I understand it is unconstitutional. My point is that it simply does not matter to the cops. Again, the easier thing is to not have cameras at all. Systems can be circumvented. Not having the cameras at all makes it so nobody can abuse them. Mass surveillance is not necessary or good.
- Comment on Flock is canceled—and its competitors are profiting 2 months ago:
Stalking is also illegal. Doesn’t seem to stop them
- Comment on Flock is canceled—and its competitors are profiting 2 months ago:
Should, yes, but they won’t. Cops in the US are some of the most corrupt people. The simpler and safer solution is to not have the cameras at all. Mass surveillance is never the answer
- Comment on Flock is canceled—and its competitors are profiting 2 months ago:
Consider the ridiculous amount of stalking from cops using these cameras, no, I don’t think people would be OK with only local cops having access
- Comment on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives 2 months ago:
Yup, especially on EVs
- Comment on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives 2 months ago:
My car has eco, standard, and sport modes. In my case all they do is adjust the amount of initial acceleration available.
- Comment on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives 2 months ago:
Very much vehicle dependent. Mine does fine with both, but my partner’s car sucks at lane assist. It feels like it is bowling with the bumpers on. Just bouncing in the lane between the lines
- Comment on Tesla’s Robotaxi gets caught crashing through bollards, just as it readies the purpose-built Cybercab for public roads 2 months ago:
Yes, they are meant to survive being hit. I already said that. They are also meant to indicate a no car zone, which it was clearly in. A small mistake would have been a slow speed bump from the side it was supposed to be in and not driv8ng through them
- Comment on Tesla’s Robotaxi gets caught crashing through bollards, just as it readies the purpose-built Cybercab for public roads 2 months ago:
They are not meant to be hit. They are meant to indicate not to drive there, and not cause damage when hit. They often separate bike lanes and sidewalks in the US. It got itself into a spot a car should not have been, then hit the bollards to get out of it. This is not a small mistake.
- Comment on Ford's affordable EV pickup is named Fathom, and it will start at $28,350 2 months ago:
Ugh, that sucks, and seems like a distracted driver waiting to happen
- Comment on Ford's affordable EV pickup is named Fathom, and it will start at $28,350 2 months ago:
From what I understand that has more to do with the amount of money they are putting into R&D, not cost of materials for each vehicle. Media has been spinning it, but it is not a 1:1 thing
- Comment on Ford's affordable EV pickup is named Fathom, and it will start at $28,350 2 months ago:
They are likely using LFP batteries instead of ones that take some of the more expensive minerals like cobalt. That is a huge part of the cost of EVs, and LFPs should help keep the price down
