- Comment on How Oil Propaganda Sneaks Into TV Shows 2 days ago:
Its a really good show. I know lots of these people and it depicts them accurately. Probably because it was written by one of them.
Unfortunately Billy Bob’s speeches went viral, spreading a bunch of disinformation as laid out thoroughly by my favorite climate activist/comedian.

I wouldn’t expect any less from the dumbest administration in world history.
- Comment on Which wired earbuds do you recommend? 5 days ago:
I mean I’m not an “audiophile” and I found these to be a good combination of inexpensive, comfortable, and decent sound.
But I also haven’t owned 1000 pairs of headphones so maybe I’m missing out.

What is a “meme IEM”?
- Comment on Which wired earbuds do you recommend? 5 days ago:
That’s interesting. I’ve had the opposite experience. Been wearing them for like 7 years. They’re the only buds I can wear literally all day long and even forget they’re there. I did replace the tips with comply foam ones though.

- Comment on Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare 1 week ago:
I’m extremely skeptical about Steam’s statistics. They seem to have wild fluctuations like this on a regular basis. Not to mention the statistics they show about me in their “year in review” are often just very very wrong.

You should actually watch the video. There are a dozen counterarguments to this and Alec has taken the time to lay them out for you.
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 1 week ago:
That’s entirely dependent on your home. They often cost $1k+.
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 1 week ago:
I’ve been charging my cars this way for 9 years. You do need a sufficiently efficient vehicle. You ain’t charging a Hummer this way. Also I recommend getting a “heavy duty” receptacle because I have melted a couple of them after a while.

The Mac is comparable in photo and video editing a dominates in LLM generation.

It’s nothing to do with idle applications, you should really looke more into this because what you’re saying is simply misinformed.
- Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow 1 week ago:
Again, it depends on the workload. There are endless comparisons between high end desktops and comparably-priced Mac desktops, and while the PC is often more powerful, that’s not always the case , and the Mac does it while being much quieter, and not turning the room it’s in into a sauna.
- Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow 1 week ago:
They put them in everything because they’re smaller and more efficient (and thus quieter) and because they’re competitive with PC desktops in performance. And economies of scale doesn’t hurt either.

…once again, not talking about laptops.
- Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow 1 week ago:
They already are. Increased speed and efficiency are solid reasons. The Mac Pro was absolutely enormous in comparison to the new Mac Studio, which absolutely blows it away in terms of performance, while being a lot cheaper. Strix Halo is a great example of similar benefits on the PC front.
The vast majority of PCs aren’t sold to hobbyists. Gamers mostly benefit from the existence of other markets that they can sell these chips too. If those go, these chips get taken off the market.

CAMM has been around for years now but I’ve never seen a single model using them. Even Framework passed on them with their new desktop.
- Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow 1 week ago:
This isn’t about laptop/desktop but about modular vs. Integrated processors.
- Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow 1 week ago:
The writing on the wall is large and clear. You can still have high-end kit, but you don’t get to put it together from discrete bits. The fastest parts – the CPU, GPU, volatile and non-volatile storage – all get assembled as a single, highly integrated, non-upgradable component.
Honestly I’m shocked desktop PCs have lasted this long.
That being said, PC gaming is a growing trend, not shrinking, so I suspect there will continue to be at least some availability in the future for those components?
Additionally, while Macs are really great at some workloads, they’re still inferior in others to existing desktop machines with dedicated GPUs, and the closest competitor from Apple will still cost at least twice as much.
- Comment on Cops Use AI to Jail Innocent Grandmother for 6 MONTHS 2 weeks ago:
This is such a tired story already. Realistically AI could be tremendously helpful but its just almost always abused this way. You can just prosecute someone because they look like the suspect. You need hard evidence.

- Comment on is black myth wokong a good game? 3 weeks ago:
I played it for about 10 minutes. I did not like it for the same reason I do not like “soulslike” games: There is way too much delay between initiating the action and the action being taken, in which time the enemy launches a much faster attack, which you’re now vulnerable to because you’re mid-attack.
I’m honestly at a complete loss as to how anyone plays these type of games.

I don’t understand what that has to do with anything? Have you heard of a thing called C-rate?
- Comment on BYD's latest EVs can get close to full charge in just 12 minutes 4 weeks ago:
The Chinese have been producing phones that charge at like 200 watts for many years as well. Turns out no one else uses them because the batteries are completely worn out after a short time.

Have you ever driven in NYC? There are already cars to the left, right, front, and back of you. There’s nowhere to go except forward.
