- Comment on Do Linux distros and BSDs recommend using the command line to set up bootable USBs because most machines should be able to do it without additional software? 3 weeks ago:
validating the integrity of the installation
The ISO file should be validated, and many installation medias check hashes.
it can be disastrous if you don’t pay attention to what you type in
Valid point, even I get nervous when entering dd.
I don’t think that dd alone should be used as a backup
Absolutely it shouldn’t. I said primitive backups, which are not a replacement for things like snapshots. DD backups are space-inefficient, easily corruptible, and often result in broken systems.

I feel like for the most part though using something like balenaEtcher is so much easier.
Take 5 minutes to learn to use DD, and you’ll never need to install etcher again. Also DD can do primitive backups of drives, and so much more.

- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 1 month ago:
Be cautious. Obviously don’t send money before you get something and make sure it’s functional.
- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 1 month ago:
Pros: Might look cool, is cheap.
Cons: Won’t be very durable, the app for it will be shitty and closed-source(probably malware), the battery will probably suck, any vital sensors won’t be accurate, the screen will probably suck, and it will probably have a bad UI.
In summary: Save up for a better watch.

- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 1 month ago:
Forced Arbitration is when a company puts something in their terms of service that forced the user to go through a process of arbitration as opposed to going to court. It is always rigged towards the company who forces it, because they are the people paying the arbitrators.

Ok, I could probably take on 50 at a time, maybe 150 if it’s one on one.
- Comment on Potential downsides of buying a brand new soft-unlocked (carrier-unlocked) phone? 2 months ago:
DO NOT BUY FROM VERIZON if you want to unlock your bootloader. This also applies to Rogers in Canada and EE in the UK. They will force your bootloader to be locked for life, creating more e-waste. This sounds sketchy, needing to keep a phone on the same Android install to be unlocked. I would not advise you to buy this device, because I’ve never heard of this phenomenon. I can’t say for sure, but it sounds like the seller may have installed malicious apps that will be removed if the device is factory reset, so the sellers wants you to not reset it in order to keep the malicious app on the system. This is just a guess, and this could be a new scummy thing created by carriers to keep their customers attached to them.

Do infections count as a loss? If I get an infection from one and die, does that mean I couldn’t take them on? Also, is it one at a time or all of them coming at me.

The last thing it would need would be cross-console compatibility. That might make it worth it.
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 2 months ago:
I grew up with a Wii, and never held an n64 controller, so I always will wonder: How do you hold those? Do you hold it like a regular controller and then reach your thumb out to the joystick in the middle, or do you hold the middle grip and then one of the other outer ones, and have to reach as well? Is it subjective?

IIRC swapping sticks is the same on the two
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 2 months ago:
The trigger on the xbox one controller is loose and easy to take off, and it has a spring on it that flew off and I lost upon disassembling it. The 360’s controllers will remain completely function even without any shell, but are also able to be disassembled.
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 2 months ago:
That’d be the best controller, but probably like 500 dollars lol
- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 2 months ago:
Me too, it’s aged very well.

- Comment on What's your favorite controller? 2 months ago:
Me personally, I like the 360 controller the most
