No thanks.

Pretty sure he meant gated community.
- 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? 4 weeks ago:
Yes. Google far-field wireless power.
It’s not really ready for prime time, and there are a lot of things still needing to line up for it to become ready, but it’s coming eventually.

It’s exactly the opposite of what created Putin. He came out of the KGB state security service with control over the elite and the powerful.
How did those elite powerful get to be elite and powerful?
They were the product of a powerful central government giving them said power.
When the people are afraid of the government, there is tyranny. When the government is afraid of the people there is liberty.

You are wildly off base if you think I have any love for that monster.
You are also completely wrong in that oppression is the natural state of power.

How would you stop them from doing this?
By dismantling as much of the power structure as I can. As often as I can.
Burn.
It
All
Down.

The problem is that government even has the power to do those things.
And to paraphrase you, you can’t solve government problems with more government, I’m sorry, man.

Rofl. Your god can eat a dick. I’ve seen exactly what your god does.
It’s easier to start a competing comp than it is to start a competing government.
You need a powerful standing army for the latter, and standing armies are part of why we’re in the trouble we’re in.

How naive can you be? You think your vote matters here?
When every single district has been gerrymandered to death for 100 years, nobody’s vote really matters anymore.

So you want Trump and MAGA politicians to be able to deny your payments instead?
The problem with “just let the government do it” is when the government is run by people like this.

Insane that it wasn’t, “Oh, you’re trying to blackmail our government? Here, have an airstrike.” TBH
- Comment on What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites? 5 weeks ago:
There are more guns than people in the US, and contrary to belief, they’re not all owned by the magagotts…
What I find most disturbing about the Republican party is how quickly they shift from “small government is good” to “we need more government so we can enact our brand of authoritarianism! But those guys over there? They’re the big government ones!”
Which is nuts, because you can’t have an authoritarian government without a government large enough to enforce said authority!
I’m at the point where I am leaning more and more into the “just burn it all down and start over” side of things.

Ok. My HL-3170CDW color laser was on sale for like $160 when I got it almost 10 years ago. Still on the original oem toner and drums, and just printed off a bunch of stuff in color last week.
- Comment on (Laser) Printer go brrrr 5 weeks ago:
I have a HL3170CDW color laser. It was on sale for under $200 at the time.

- Comment on US | Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP 1 month ago:
I know. Isn’t great? When there’s no party in true “control” then whoever wants to think it’s the other guy’s fault can easily do so.
I was already an adult in 1996. It was definitely a bipartisan thing. Despite many tech insiders warning how it would cause the exact opposite of what it was intended to do, Clinton didn’t just sign it. He and Al Gore, for years, claimed it as their own.
Hell, it was this exact act Al Gore was referring to when he claimed he “invented” the Internet.
- Comment on US | Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP 1 month ago:
The deregulation in the 90s is what killed the local ISP. Thanks, Bill.

Winwar 2 was based on a dos version of it, btw. I played it all the time with some friends back in the early 1990s.

That’s less of a defense of AI slop than it is a condemnation of the entire music industry.
- Comment on 7 year old PC. CPU is getting WICKED hot (up to 100 C) while playing games. is there any software that can underclock/undervolt it? 1 month ago:
Why is it that so many people do absolutely zero maintenance on their computers, and think that’s completely normal?
Clean that bitch out at the very least. Allowing dust to build up in all the little books and crannies means it’s not getting enough air flow.
It’s typically common sense that when your AC isn’t working well, you clean/replace the filter(s) to keep it operating at peak efficiency, and if you don’t, you risk burning up fan and/or compressor motors.
Same thing with your car’s cooling system. Keep that radiator grill clean of mud and dirt, or it’s more likely to overheat and burn up your engine.
Why the fuck don’t people think of that when it comes to their computers just blows my damn mind.
A tube of Arctic Silver thermal grease is less than 10 bucks. A can of compressed air is like 20 bucks, and will typically last for months.
Once a month, take the PC case outside, and blow out all the damn dust.
Every year or so, replace the thermal grease/paste.
“My computer runs slower and slower as times goes by!” Yeah no shit, it’s trying not to burn itself up. Clean the fucker.

Because why have 3 devices when one can do it for less cost?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
There’s just enough disagreement and “infighting” to make people think their guy is the good guy and the other is the bad guy.
When you look at the overall picture, however, things start standing out.
There was much complaining and gnashing of teeth by most Democrats, and even a few Republicans, when the Bush era Patriot Act was pushed through. One particular Democratic politician even ran on the promise of eliminating it.
Guess what? It wasn’t eliminated.
Same thing with war and attacking other nations on their own sovereign soil.
It’s still happening, and it never stops, no matter which party is in control of the US government.
“But the other side does it more than we do!”
HOW ABOUT NEITHER SIDE DOES IT! HOW ABOUT WE MIND OUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!
