- Comment on Fall of Western civilization 1 week ago:
we used to have mac tonight at a piano, muzak, black ceiling tiles and club lighting. now it’s the same remodeled mckitchen as everywhere else, stuffing delivery orders into bags and letting the in-person experience go to shit.

- Comment on advertising and headers take up 50% of screen space 2 weeks ago:
on the linked page, i get a giant header image and headline, followed by the article text (which accounts for just 15% of the vertical space on my 16:10 screen).
when i scroll as you have, there’s no elements glued to the top getting in the way.

- Comment on California is debating whether or not to remove the bike lane on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. During the public hearing, a politician was driving his car 4 weeks ago:
video chatting with a screen visible to the driver? fk no. also his setup and use of it violates cvc 27602.
- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 5 weeks ago:
there’s probably a commission system built-in to pay the value of a month’s rent or something to the ‘agent’ when you sign a lease. which means, of course, they’re financially motivated to steer you to better paying properties (for them), not better units or locations for you.
- Comment on Microsoft yanks the plug on Windows 11 SE, giving school and college IT techs a little over a year to find a suitable replacement 5 weeks ago:
dumping this one that specifically limited exposure to the trash bits of windows and instead launch a new variant for gaming handhelds that, while ‘optimized’ and limited in the crud that runs, will most definitely be focused on driving gamers to game pass subs and store sales.
- Comment on Citing “market conditions,” Nintendo hikes prices of original Switch consoles 1 month ago:
they priced the new one too high, so now they’re raising the old one up so people (especially newcomers to the platform) will think it’s not so bad?

- Comment on What's the REAL minimum power supply needed for a RTX 5060 Ti? 2 months ago:
Depends on your CPU
absolutely. some cpu can draw more than the 180 watts of a 5060ti, even without actual ‘overclocking’, all by themselves when boosting their own clock (such as intel’s “turbo power”). even a ‘65 watt’ ultra 7 265 can get up to that.
- Comment on Anon does some online shopping 2 months ago:
i always look for the ‘guest’ checkout option. some merchants have it, and i’ll choose them over somewhere like azn if the price is reasonably close.
- Comment on Breaking: Netflix has made another minor change for their subscribers. 2 months ago:
sub for a month with a prepaid gift card (so no potential issues cancelling). binge for a week, run out of stuff to watch, the rest of the sub goes unused and wasted. been down that road once every year or two here.
