- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 6 days ago:
If you’re not playing on a VRR display 45fps *will * be horrible and stuttery. 30fps locked would feel significantly better.
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 6 days ago:
Almost every person I’ve had an argument/discussion with who fires through my past comments to try and find things to use against me when they’re losing has been someone who goes back and deleted all of their comments. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
- Comment on Apple Gave Governments Data on Thousands of Push Notifications 6 days ago:
I have these stupid clickbait titles aimed at making the company out to be the bad guy, when the truth is that the government “requested” (read: ordered) them to hand over the data.
- Comment on Self-hosting your own media considered harmful according to YouTube 6 days ago:
Wouldn’t surprise me if they started cracking down on anything regarding XBMC/Kodi/LibreElec/Plex/etc because let’s be real here - almost 100% of the time it’s done to serve up pirated media. Plex are trying to make a bit of plausible deniability by hosting their own media for users, but everyone knows why you set these things up.
If they are, that’s just one more shitty thing Google are doing that should hopefully make people rethink using YouTube, and hopefully a competitor can gain some ground.
If it was just some stupid rogue employees decision to give him this strike, well again I hope it makes people rethink using YouTube and Google things.

Without your body evolving to require it? No
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Insider trading, take bribes disguised as lobbying, take bribes in the form of promised executive level jobs after they leave congress. That seems to be about it.
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 1 week ago:
Alcohol is a really strong painkiller, essentially.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
In the mod logs, being permanently banned with zero warnings, for not playing along with the echo chamber.
- Comment on Why is it ok to replace -ed at the end of a word with -t in some cases? For example, why are "vexed" and "vext" both acceptable, but "thrilled" and "thrilt" aren't? 1 week ago:
The english language is a strange one. Not everything makes total sense. This is just one of those times.
If you really want to question your knowledge of the english language, play scrabble against someone who is very good at it and you’ll be constantly checking the dictionary saying “there’s no way that’s a real word” haha
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 1 week ago:
How did you get that from what I said?
If you don’t trust it you can still read the emails. If you do, you don’t have to read the emails. If want to confirm what it does say a few times until you can decide if you trust it or not, you can do that.
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 1 week ago:
Google “read” your emails and feed them into their AI regardless, always have. They don’t need your “consent” to add features or make UI changes.
I’m assuming you actually mean it should’ve been off by default?
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 1 week ago:
I think a summary of an email is going to be right more like 9.5/10 times.
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 1 week ago:
If only you could still see the actual emails……
Oh wait, you can!
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 1 week ago:
Lack of consent for what?
- Comment on The Gmail app will now create AI summaries whether you want them or not 1 week ago:
Bit more context that is needed:
The automatic summaries will appear for all paid Workspace accounts, as well as individual accounts with Google AI Premium subscriptions.
Not for normal Gmail users, and also not for every email - only larger multi-reply ones.
I dunno, seems like an ok feature to me.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 1 week ago:
Imagine a galaxy z Fold but with what looks and behaves like Windows when you use the internal screen, or a Galaxy Ultra that when using Dex on a monitor looks exactly like Windows 11.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 1 week ago:
Yep, just a matter of time if you’ve been paying attention.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 1 week ago:
To use it on other OS’s, like Android.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 1 week ago:
What a strange thing to say lol.
I was pointing out that you asked why they would do something while answering why they would do something straight after.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns 2 weeks ago:
Why would they ever do such a thing?
Hmm I wonder why…
The main point of React Native is to make an application cross-platform
Oh so you know? Why are you wondering then?

- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 2 weeks ago:
You can either be sitting in a seat or you can be standing, you can’t be both. The people calling them “standing seats” are ridiculous. They’re seats.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t understand why these are called “standing seats”? You sit down on them…they’re just seats.

Read my link. Simply plugging in a USB stick can compromise your entire business.
- Comment on Nvidia ain't done with x86 as it taps Intel Xeons to babysit GPUs 2 weeks ago:
Some of this stuff is above my current knowledge of AI hardware, so maybe I missed it, but this didn’t really explain why x86 is better suited for this application? Is it just because chips already exist that do this very specific thing that they need them to do?

This is one of the many reasons you’re not in charge of IT security.
