- Comment on No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers 2 days ago:
If it’s for new customers only the. Why do they advertise it in the program for paid users? I’m tired of seeing ads for things I can’t even take advantage of.
- Comment on Definitely how it went for me 1 week ago:
Digital codes are so much nicer. Well in theory, until they show random invalid codes.
- Comment on Definitely how it went for me 1 week ago:
Apart from the front panel connectors on a motherboard, of course. Those fiddly little bastards can get straight to hell.
Wait till you see this. Fucking game changing.
- Comment on If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day? 1 week ago:
bleepingcomputer.com/…/microsoft-windows-10-kb507…
Looks like there’s an issue installing the extended support updates should you subscribe to it. So it makes sense to just give everyone the update.
- Comment on If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day? 1 week ago:
What are the updates? Is it Windows getting the update, or Windows defender/programs that use windows update for updates?
As far as I’m aware even windows 7’s windows defender still gets updates.
- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 1 week ago:
Find an app for your phone/watch that wakes you up at the end of your sleep cycles. When you’re in deep sleep you tend to be pretty still, but when you’re at the end of a sleep cycle is when you typically move around a night. There’s apps that will wake you up when it’s almost your alarm time, but you’re moving around.
Also try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Eventually you can kinda figure out your own sleep cycles and try to work with them instead of against them.
- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 2 weeks ago:
It’s based on the speed limit of the road. Yellow means proceed if safe or stop if safe. The faster it is the longer the yellow. And usually the longer the time between it turning green on the other side should you pull a whoopsie.
- Comment on Is it insane to run a home server on an old laptop instead of a Raspberry Pi for self-hosting - what do I need to worry about? 2 weeks ago:
I ran ESXi on an a ThinkPad W520 for years with no issues. Make sure you set a battery charge limit or else that battery will be toast in no time. A UPS is insane overkill. A laptop battery will long outlast the UPS batteries. Not just run time, but in terms of degradation. even without the charge limit.

Or just only looked at the raw page source.
Why have a full web browser running when wget gets better results?
- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t see why you couldn’t stick something capacitive to the dingus.
- Comment on New image-generating AIs are being used for fake expense reports 4 weeks ago:
But why? It’s so easy to make your own face receipts.
Especially when you get an email receipt. Just inspect element that bad boy.
- Comment on Anon is forever alone 5 weeks ago:
School is a great place to meet people organically. Talk to your class mates. Even if they’re not a girl you want to talk to maybe they know someone.
Outside of school sadly dating apps are the only way to meet people. And they’re not good.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not saying drink a gallon right before bed. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, then slowly less and less until it’s about bed time. Then take a fat piss before you go to bed.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 month ago:
The way™️ is to drink enough water and actually brush before bed. If you’re sufficiently hydrated, and you don’t have all that bacteria shitting up your mouth then your morning breath will be a lot less stanky.
- Comment on Crysis Remastered Trilogy gets a GOG release with the original Crysis now in the GOG Preservation Program 1 month ago:
Will the non remastered version run on original hardware? System requirements say Windows 10/11.
- Comment on Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that! 2 months ago:
Also did you adequately describe your problem? Treat it like a human who knows how to program, but has no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Just like a human you have to sit it down and talk to it before you have it write code.

5 has long overstayed its welcome.
- Comment on I fixed Borderlands 4's stuttering issue by upping my shader cache size to 100 GB, which feels like something I shouldn't have to do in a well-optimised game 2 months ago:
Or just have DLSS run the game at 480p, but upscale it to 4k! You’ll never notice the difference we swear!

Especially when you returned a car.
- Comment on McDonald's criticizes US restaurant industry for uneven wage policies 2 months ago:
Depends on your area. Near me it starts at 15 an hour.
But mcdonalds is consistently the lowest paying of all the fast food companies. The taco bell down the street was paying $15 when McDicks was paying 10. Now T Bell is up to 20 or 22, and Mc is still at 15.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 2 months ago:
Those 200gb games take a while to download, even on a gigabit internet connection.
- Comment on AI crawlers destroying websites in hunger for content 2 months ago:
Moreover, AI crawlers are much more aggressive than standard crawlers. As the InMotionhosting web hosting company notes, they also tend to disregard crawl delays or bandwidth-saving guidelines and extract full page text, and sometimes attempt to follow dynamic links or scripts.
So they’re just lazily programmed crawlers. Ironically trying to block them can cause web traffic to go up not down when people use more advanced methods to get around blocking. When you switch from a simple wget command ripping the bare page to a full blown chrome browser loading all the pictures, JS, and other junk that shit adds up.
- Comment on I refuse to by a new mouse 2 months ago:
Pretty much no manufacturer is going to sell you parts besides maybe replacement feet. But the only things that fail on mice are all jellybean components.
Left mouse button fails? Buy another from mouser. Middle button fails? Digikey. Side button? Some other components selling company.
Outside of those super light mice there’s nothing special about any of them other than the exact layout, and the case. And the cheaper the mouse usually the simpler they are on the inside, and the easier it is to solder. Most PCBs will be single sided with through hole components.
- Comment on My writing laptop just died 2 months ago:
You can also just not activate it. There’s nothing stopping you from using the computer with the water mark. It’s not like XP which was super picky and would legit lock you out. Vista + just makes it kinda ugly but it works.
- Comment on 👁️🐽👁️ 2 months ago:
It is the only part of the body without a blood supply. Instead, it receives nutrients via aqueous humor (the liquid between the cornea and vitreous).
Instead, oxygen dissolves in tears and then diffuses throughout the cornea to keep it healthy.[5] Similarly, nutrients are transported via diffusion from the tear fluid through the outside surface and the aqueous humour through the inside surface.
And because that seemed lacking still and I’m too dumb to figure it out ChatGPT’s response:
The palpebral conjunctival blood vessels and the capillaries of the eyelids supply oxygen to the tear film behind closed lids. Oxygen diffuses from these vessels into the cornea.

- Comment on USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason 3 months ago:
frame.work/products/usb-c-expansion-card?v=FRACCQ…
On Framework Laptop 13 Intel platforms, that means Thunderbolt 4/USB4
Framework Laptop 16 additionally supports up to 48V/5A charging
Impressive. It is short enough that I’m not surprised it works. I have a 4 inch passive cable that successfully does TB4/PD100. I’m not ballsey enough to try anything higher. Looks like there’s maybe some passives on the other side of the one they currently sell, but that doesn’t count.
- Comment on USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason 3 months ago:
They are if you have a retimer/redriver. Most extension cables do not.
I can’t find a picture of the inside of the module, but I guarantee you it’s not just a straight through cable. It’s got active circuitry in there.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks 3 months ago:
IMO Linux’s biggest problem is choices. Normal people don’t really want choices, they just want the one, and it needs to work. The second you tell them there’s 17 different options, and each one has 9 sub options, and each sub option has 4 more sub sub options they just tune out. Got a problem? Google “Linux fix XYZ” and there’s 300 different fixes and maybe one of them works. Or maybe it doesn’t.
With windows there’s 1 or 2 windows. You get what Microsoft thinks is best. Don’t like it? Maybe someone’s made a tweak. But odds are too bad, suck it up. And then they move on with their life.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 3 months ago:
I loved the servers that were 24/7 metro, no drags etc. some of those were (and still are) my favorite. Or pistols only, no Glock 18. When you get rid of custom servers you get rid of that custom experience.
