- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 3 days ago:
Yeah, further compounding the problem. And if standard carry-on luggage’s dont fit anymore, it’ll force more luggage into the hold, which will also run out of space. Unless there is a new plane built around the standing concept, I just can’t see it ever happening.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 3 days ago:
Realistically, no. Unless the airline also slashes the ticket prices in half, its just going to make them less popular than regular airline seats.
And even if they did manage to cram 2x more seats, there isnt enough space in the overhead lockers for 2x the luggage, so it just won’t work.

- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
Isn’t steam responsible for match making only, and the actual game company is responsible for the servers? Are you sure its not the game servers?
Either way, that would be very frustrating if its happening mid round.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
Whichever gaming store I buy into, I am going to spend thousands on games. I need to be able to trust that they’ll still exist in the future.
I trust (whether correctly or not) gaben more than sweeney.
Of course, the smart thing to do is buy from GOG and keep the games backed up yourself, but failing that, steam is the next most reliable store front.
This all boils down to a personal opinion though.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
My dislike of epic is that they seem to be buying their way into competing, instead of actually competing on features.
Free games sounds good now, but what happens when the fortnite gravy train runs out, and epic needs to start making a profit? They’ll likely have to enshittify fast.
Steam at least has a solid history of being generally good. But who knows what will happen if Gaben ever ascends.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
Does steam really have frequent multiplayer downtime issues? I’ve never notice any issues, but I don’t play a lot of multiplayer anymore.
- Comment on Which kind of applications need legacy processor but up to date OS ? 2 weeks ago:
It could be things like ATM machines, that have bespoke motherboards, but need to be networked, and therefore patched.

- Comment on Eric Barone, the guy who can't stop updating Stardew Valley, says the words "I might eventually make a Stardew Valley 2" 2 weeks ago:
A while back he said he would stop developing Stardew Valley 1.
Either way, if he releases a sequal, instant buy from myself and my partner. He’s learnt our trust, and definitely deserves the money.
- Comment on How would legal procedure change if every citizen eligible for jury duty was aware of jury nullification? 3 weeks ago:
Probably would make prosecutors think twice about bringing certain cases to trial. Any “sympathetic” defendants would likely just get a plea deal, and probably a lax one.
Influencers/Famous people could also do what they like, because prosecuting means risking that a jury could just side with them, regardless of the seriousness of the crime.

2tb is heaps for a laptop, do you need that much?
If you drop down to gen 3, it’ll still be plenty fast and slightly cheaper: …com.au/…/silicon-power-2tb-p34a60-gen3x4-tlc-r-w…
But gen4 from the same site is not much more: …com.au/…/klevv-2tb-cras-c910-k02tbm2sp0-c91-pcie…
Never heard of klevv though, could be sketchy

SSDs are getting pretty dirt cheap, you can get a 240gb for $29. Is it SATA or NVME?
- Comment on How to get a package to the right owner? 4 weeks ago:
If I am understanding right, when you say “can’t be bothered”, you mean “can’t be compelled/forced”?
Seems pretty reasonable, albeit slightly reliant on honesty. At least for scammers, they aren’t likely to want it back, as that would deanonymise them, so if its definitely a scam, your pretty safe to keep it.
Thanks for the info :)

Do you know of any countries that have different laws? I’m curious as to how it would work?
- Comment on How to get a package to the right owner? 4 weeks ago:
That makes even more sense, they probably dont stand out in the crowded market place, but for a few dollars in shipping and lost product, they can get a glowing review to push them up.
Its important to realise that while the item might list for $$$$$, it probably only costs $ to manufacture.
- Comment on How to get a package to the right owner? 4 weeks ago:
It may be a fake item, but also remember that the cost to make jewelry is usually far less than what they are sold for, so it probably wasn’t hundreds of dollars.
I’ll update when I find the video, but there was a woman who gave a blackhat talk about it, and she got a coffee machine, so its not without precedence to spend hundreds.

Depends if your name is Khaleesi, and how made on power they get. Im willing to risk it though.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 5 weeks ago:
I’m sorry :( tell you what, when you run for president of the world, on a platform of “rename all Khaleesi’s to Daenerys”, I’ll vote for you :)
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 5 weeks ago:
They probably dont know that its a title, but it doesn’t really matter. The character is colloquially known as Khaleesi, and thats what they are naming their kid after.
I don’t think its a good name either, given the TV series has largely fizzled, so its connection won’t make sense in a few years time, but being a title first doesn’t exclude it by itself (IMHO).

That isn’t really that unusual, King and Queen are both used as names, so its not that weird. Steven King, Queen Latifah (stage name, but still), King C Gillete (inventor of the safety razor)

- Comment on Is there a way to get a massive dump of memory stuff off my laptop by uploading it to a torrent? If so how and can I make it private just for my access? 1 month ago:
As others have said, torrents won’t work as a backup. This is because when you create a torrent, it isnt uploaded to a server somewhere, other users download directly from you. So if you have it as a torrent, until someone else downloads it, you only have 1 copy.
If you want to use it to upload stuff from your laptop to another PC, then this would actually work, and the only thing needed to avoid it being public is to not share the torrent file itself publically. But there are better tools for this, such as SyncThing. Torrents will work once, but any changes to the files will break the torrent.
- Comment on UBC Engineers Develop Stir Stick to Detect GHB & Spiked Drinks in Seconds 1 month ago:
From the 3rd link:
The team is in the process of speaking with a large manufacturer to bring Smart Straws to the market, Baigorri said, and plan to make it “very affordable and cheap enough to dispose.”
Laudible goal, but I do wonder why other teams failed. The bulk price (on amazon) seems to be about $2.30 each, which definitely isnt super cheap.
The downside of “every drink gets a stick” is that it becomes much easier for a would-be rapist to replace the stick with a fake at the same time as inserting the drug. If you cant trust the integrity of the drink, you can’t trust the stick either.
I wonder if having a “Free drink replacement, no questions asked” policy might be easier/cheaper answer. If you think your drink was tampered with, return it to the bar for a replacement. Bar can increase their prices a bit to cover the wasted drinks.

Is this one of those “my first chemistry project” kinda things? I swear I have heard of heaps of these kind of things coming out of unis, and nothing about this seems different to all the ones from ages ago.

- Comment on No more Bosch for me.. 2 months ago:
I think its a matter of perspective though. I have all the physical buttons I need, and even ones I dont need, so im happy. For you, yours doesn’t have all the functions you need, so obviously your not happy.
Both versions have delay, but I did lose half load and delicate. Gained some other programs though, but those aren’t useful. Funnily enough, neither version has a dedicated rinse.
