- Comment on There Is No Reason To Buy Another PlayStation Or Xbox 2 days ago:
and there is a comparably steep commitment required to research CPUs, GPUs, storage, cooling, and RAM, and how their combination will affect performance and longevity
I mean those same things affect consoles too, you just don’t get a choice. Sony prioritized keeping the PS5 quiet so the CPU and GPU run pretty warm. If you add an SSD it’s just hot boxing itself in that awful enclosure. You can always just yolo it like you would when buying a console. Then if it’s bad on a PC you at least have the option to fix it.
- Comment on Is IPV6 better for youtube adblockers? 1 week ago:
In theory if every device in your network is routed to the outside world they could say “fuck this guy in particular”
But idk why they’d bother doing that. They’d detect the blocking all the same and probably not care about IP.
- Comment on Is there any good thing for using AI for the middle class and poor? Instead of just the oligarchs ripping off the middle class and poor? 1 week ago:
They almost always point out what they think the issue is in the log. It doesn’t take much effort to take a snippet of the error, ctrl F, and see that it’s been blowing up 500 times. It’s not hard to verify from there if that was the issue. But if it gives you a fix and that fix worked then presumably it was right.
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 2 weeks ago:
I ran into a whole list of games I wanted to play that don’t work right when I tried last.
Off the top of my head I know Forza Horizon 5 from the microsoft store doesn’t work. Being from the MS store has nothing to do with it, it’s the splash screen. The controller works great for the 5 seconds it’s up. But when the game actually opens then steam input decides to stop working, even though steam knows the game is still open. Valve could easily fix this by just applying steam input forever until the program quits. But they don’t. So if I want too play that game I need to use a 3rd party steam input wrapper just to make the damn controller act as a controller.
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 2 weeks ago:
I have many complaints about the steam controller. Build quality isn’t one of them.
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 2 weeks ago:
Not all work properly.
Pretty much any game with a launcher or a splash screen won’t work right.

I just tell them I’m gonna be late one day. No PTO necessary.
- Comment on Is this machine good enough to install QEMU considering that it runs on windows 10 ? 5 weeks ago:
The minimum requirement for win 11 is 4 gigs and it’s tolerable. Windows only needs like half of that. The other half is garbage that gets unloaded when you run low on ram.
- Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars? 5 weeks ago:
Poorly aimed headlights are the real killer. They might not even be brights, they’re just aimed to the heavens because people don’t know how to maintain their car.

Whatever’s the most debloated version of firefox or chrome.
You will not get all websites on something thats light weight. Web browsers are basically mini operating systems at this point.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Valve randomly stocks tthe steam deck all the time. I swear they’ve got like one guy running the whole show, and he stocks things one unit at a time.

For $35 I’m guessing whatever on FB marketplace.
Android phones tend to become pretty worthless after like 5 years, but are still perfectly good for emulation. Hell 10 years ago I was emulating the DS without any issues.
- Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs 1 month ago:
I have a slim q charger for my laptop and it’s about the size of two phones stacked on top of each other. The factory brick is pretty slim too so I never really cared. It fit well in the bottom of my backpack.
Also many modern high end machines come with smaller GaN chargers. It’s mostly the cheaper models that come with the classic brick.
- Comment on How are you using your laptop (with internet) that still runs Windows10? 1 month ago:
You still need some sort of exploit to be able to hit your machine. If you’re behind a firewall and not raw dogging it on the internet then you’ve got a decent layer of security.
At that point it’s just your web browser (or your brain) that needs an exploit to for something bad to happen. And both chrome and Firefox will be supporting 10 for years to come.

Yes, I do.
Officially I’m 9-5 with an hour for lunch.
- Comment on Help using a page turner on Kobo Libra Colour 2 months ago:
Does it officially support Kobos? From what I can tell you need to program it to work with whatever device you’re using, they don’t typically “just work”
- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 2 months ago:
No lag with the right-click context menu
Give it a month of BS software adding itself to the menu. Mine used to take 10 seconds to load if I right clicked on the desktop. Just the run with GPU option took like 1/4 of a second or something absurd. Like WTF nvidia.

Idk, violence is pretty annoying.
- Comment on As EV batteries improve, ChargePoint debuts 600 kW fast charger 2 months ago:
Google says about 10 gallons a minute, and each gallon is about 33KWh. 330KWh in a minute is about 20,000 KW or 20 MW assuming I can do math correctly.
- Comment on Previewing the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard 2 months ago:
Yeah, this keyboard has it too. But not all devices remember. And that’s the problem. Sometimes it’s software on the PC that controls it, other times it lives in the keyboaed. But some devices are stupid and will forget when you disconnect/change devices.
- Comment on Previewing the Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard 2 months ago:
If they can make it so if you press F1 it actually does F1 without any BS software then I’m sold. I love my Logitech K400 but if I press F2 and not FN + F2 and miss getting into the bios one more time I’m going to commit a crime.
Bluetooth + dongle + wired? Hell yes. This is perfect for tinkering with computers, and actually using it.
- Comment on Introducing Framework Laptop 13 Pro 2 months ago:
I’m curious how good the trackpad will actually be. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the force touch pad in the OG 2015 MBP, but later models made it better. But I still prefer the actual clicky pad on the 2014 and older machines. But on PCs?

Shouldn’t the sims 4 be considered free to play? The base game is free, only the dlc is paid.
- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 2 months ago:
This is revenue. How many people are buying those games now? Older games are also usually heavily discounted so that’s even less money. And if the game was bought second hand then it’s entirely irrelevant.
- Comment on Why do I almost never see people flying drones? 2 months ago:
They’re not that expensive, but they’re not cheap. The DJI mini goes on sale for like $200 fairly often and that’s an insane value for what it is. But yeah, unless you live in an area with a lot of great views you’ll probably use it a handful of times then leave it in its box.
Unfortunately the US government is trying to outlaw them so we might not get newer models.
- Comment on What are some good, solid cables for charging and data transfer? 2 months ago:
I’ve never had issues with Anker cables, but I’ve also never had to deal with their support.
For a DisplayPort cable the best I’ve found is the “Club3D CAC-1060” my GPU/monitor has signal integrity issues that leads to getting black screens as gsync turns on and off. This cable has gotten me the least black screens.
But outside of edge cases like mine a DP and an HDMI cable is a DP/HDMI cable. They’re not doing crazy things like USB C does. They either work or they don’t.
- Comment on Distro for upgrading a 15 year old Mac? 2 months ago:
Pretty much only the very first year of Intel Macs had 32 bit EFIs. Coincidentally the only 2007 machine with a 32 bit EFI was the Mac Pro. But the 07 Mac Pro was basically identical to the OG 06.
