- Comment on I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust 2 days ago:
Why would it? FOSS doesn’t have the funding that commercial software does.
- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 2 days ago:
Also microwaves are only 2.4ghz. Any modern device should have a strong 5ghz connection in what I assume is a cramped apartment.
5ghz also has less interference problems, but it’s not immune.
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 3 days ago:
Research undertaken in New Zealand showed that a zebra crossing without other safety features on average increases pedestrian crashes by 28% compared to a location without crossings.
See, that’s mostly what I was thinking. “Zebra stripes” make pedestrians feel safe to cross, and have virtually no impact on drivers who can easily just ignore them. But paired with other things they are a good addition, especially since it tells pedestrians where to cross.
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 3 days ago:
Yes, but it’s incredibly slow, wasteful and, unsafe. Companies have tried making hardware that does this at a room level, but have largely failed because it’s so wasteful and slow.
Eevblog has a bunch of videos debunking these things youtu.be/2rSQnRV5ztI
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 3 days ago:
Any time I see an intersection I assume there might be people. Downtown where I’m at there’s rarely crosswalks at intersections unless it’s a major through road.
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 4 days ago:
Does painting a crosswalk really increase safety? I feel like the type of person not pay attention and run someone over is the type of person to not care if there’s a crosswalk, not pay attention, and run someone over.
- Comment on Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired? 1 week ago:
Yes, besides falling asleep at the wheel that’s also why you shouldn’t drive when tired.

Feta and goat cheeses are also white, but I doubt they go on pizza.
You thought wrong.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Im a casual gamer
No. You have to be dedicated to this and push for years to maybe, just maybe make actual money. Not only do you have to be a gamer, but you also have to have a personality people like.
- Comment on If i stain or spill a drink on a shirt, can i just wash it in the bath with generic soap and let it soak rinse and dry to get the same thing as a whole load of laundry? 1 week ago:
This was how people washed clothes before modern laundry machines.
- Comment on How active is too active while being on lemmy? 1 week ago:
The biggest key is the quality of posting. If you’re posting a fuck ton, but it’s amazing content that fits the community and does well then yeah it’s great. If you’re just reposting memes from other communities or straight up trolling then that shit gets annoying real fast.
- Comment on Do dams pregame? 1 week ago:
But can’t dam operators see a storm forecast and start drinking, er draining, ahead of time?
Yes, they already do this. When rain is expected they lower the levels of the dam. Even just smaller rainfalls not quite flooding territory. But there’s only so much water you can drain before it starts causing problems for the dam.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 weeks ago:
You can’t hold a gaming laptop in your hands (and actually use it)
Of course a larger device will cost less/provide better performance. You’re paying a premium for the handheld formfactor. Just like how with a gaming laptop you’re paying a premium vs a 50+ pound desktop.

I have no issues with Cloudflare, but Anubis always takes it sweet ass time to verify me. Like 30+ seconds just sitting there, but then eventually I get in.
- Comment on Bitcoin investor moves $8 billion worth of crypto after 14 years, originally bought for less than $210,000 — 80,000 BTC transferred from Satoshi-era wallet 3 weeks ago:
Sure it was easy to mine, but it was also worthless.
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 4 weeks ago:
W11 is full of AI integration, always-on data collection, and other no-sell bloatware
Windows 10 is the exact same BS, but 10% less in your face AI. Have people really been frog boiled this badly?
- Comment on Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction 4 weeks ago:
I had truck nuts on my Outback. They were bright pink.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
That hasn’t worked on any (good) machine for the last 20 years. Especially now in the EFI age any important settings like that are stored in nvram.
- Comment on What is this clock icon in my phone status bar? 4 weeks ago:
Do you use tasker or any automation app? Anything time based will trigger the clock.
- Comment on Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount? 4 weeks ago:
For a laptop that old it’s not worth the money. Anything “good” is going to be at least 10 years old just sitting in a box rotting.
- Comment on Hey PC game developers, please follow Stellar Blade as an example for PC optimization in the future, because it absolutely rocks 5 weeks ago:
And ran on the xbox 360… which had 512 MB.
- Comment on Hey PC game developers, please follow Stellar Blade as an example for PC optimization in the future, because it absolutely rocks 5 weeks ago:
It’s a negative feedback loop.
The less time you can spend optimizing games the less you know how to optimize games. The less you know how to optimize games the more time it takes to optimize games. Optimizing games becomes too costly for management. Goto 10.

- Comment on Why is my GPU's "3D" usage spiking so wildly when I'm not even playing a game? It keeps throttling up and throttling down and the noise is extremely annoying 1 month ago:
edit it’s not the fan making the noise either, I’ve manually activated the fan to see if the fan is causing the noise, and it’s a separate nose to the one annoying me. the noise I’m hearing is a more grind-y noise like a motorbike or propeller airplane that keeps going in and out
If manually limiting your GPUs fan speed doesn’t change it then GPU usage isn’t the cause. The spike in usage is just a symptom.
- Comment on What do you have to wake up to to be considered a heavy/light/normal sleeper? 1 month ago:
When I was a teenager I slept through a fire alarm once. I didn’t wake up until my mom walked in the room. I woke up before she said anything. Just her existing in my room for 0.5 seconds woke me.
So… idk.

Holy shit this ones crusty. (I couldn’t find the one I wanted)
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 1 month ago:
Easiest fix: on’t be white.
Second easiest fix: hang out around non white people.
But seriously though all my white friends who never grew up eating spicy food had problems with spicy food at first. After years of being around people who eat spicy food they’ve gotten used to it.

- Comment on Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’ 1 month ago:
shows ‘anxiety’ about technology replacing jobs
No, it’s because over the last few years you’ve made your app progressively worse and worse. Almost the entire time I’ve been using this app I’ve seen it get worse and worse. And it’s clear that your push for AI has made it a more boring way to learn.
