Aren’t the front ends for these basically chat interfaces that mostly don’t change
- Comment on If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion? 1 week ago:
Well yes, that’s why people do drugs.
Usually doing it forever runs up against other problems like paying for it, holding down a job or health problems
- Comment on 100% vegetarian 2 weeks ago:
I do actually, the beyond burger era has been pretty good for upping the game but they’re not quite they’re yet IMO
I’m completely with you that they’re improving though, I think the smash burger style is gonna get there soon
- Comment on 100% vegetarian 2 weeks ago:
As someone who currently eats meat but trying to reduce consumption for environmental reasons, I 100% want a vegan burger that tastes like the real deal

Why is the person in the image wearing those homeopathic anti sea sickness bands in IKEA?
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 2 weeks ago:
It would have to be parabolic and yeah as you suggest you would either need a big robotic rig to aim it or you would have to be very very obvious with your intent to damage given there’s pretty much only one specific place a given parabolic mirror can be to damage something else.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 2 weeks ago:
What you describe is simply not possible with a passive material. Funnily your example of something shooting lasers is probably the only thing that could come close to actual damage
The most you can do is one of those adversarial patterns that just confuses the white balance and autofocus. There is nothing you can do to affect someone shooting in manual mode
If you could damage a camera by pointing it at something, the manufacturer would fix the issue before selling it, because no one is buying a camera that does.
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 weeks ago:
I think I’ve seen software swaps for the actual presses in most situations where I’d be able to.
I think the only time I consider doing something is when I’m playing a Nintendo game on non Nintendo hardware, so my MiSTer or on retroarch and both support swapping Nintendo to western style. If I’m holding a Nintendo controller, muscle memory makes it not really a problem for me at least
If you mean the actual physical buttons, I’d just say blank buttons are better than labelled ones in general, most popular controllers have blank mods that are pretty easy to do if you have a screwdriver with the appropriate bit.
- Comment on CATL announces sodium batteries that cost as little as $10/kWh, a massive price reduction compared to the current average of $115/kWh for lithium-ion batteries. 2 weeks ago:
Aren’t the current models only about half as dense as lithium Ion?
Taking up twice the space for a tenth of the cost seems like a pretty acceptable trade-off for the house scenario
- Comment on LAPD Eyes ‘GeoSpy’, an AI Tool That Can Geolocate Photos in Seconds 2 weeks ago:
Surely it would be better for the environment, at least, to hire one of those GeoGuessr guys

- Comment on The New Yorker Asks: Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble? 2 weeks ago:
It’s been a bubble since GPT2 guys, get with the program.
There is zero chance even half of all these AI product companies still exist in half a decade.
Now if you don’t mind I reckon I’m gonna Alta Vista search for CDNow and then webvan something from pets.com

- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t Microsoft about to block kernel modules like this entirely? I thought I read that somewhere
- Comment on High-severity WinRAR 0-day exploited for weeks by 2 groups 2 weeks ago:
Maybe some of you finally paid for it, this wouldn’t happen!
… Who is still using it in 2025, though, really?
- Comment on iRobot’s future isn’t looking up 2 weeks ago:
Oh wow, so somehow I’ve entirely missed Roborock’s existence until now—cheers for the recommendation!
That one with the robotic arm on it is crazy
- Comment on Tried naming the states from memory as a European 2 weeks ago:
You forgot the salt cultists between LA and Vegas
- Comment on iRobot’s future isn’t looking up 2 weeks ago:
I’m not in the market for one today, but I’m probably getting a robovac or two in the next couple of years.
Anyone have any recommendations for a good one that can be regarded as relatively trustworthy. I’ve got a home assistant setup already and don’t mind some minor mods/soldering, if that’s the best option, but off the shelf with no faff is obviously ideal.

- Comment on Overheated homes: why UK housing is dangerously unprepared for impact of climate crisis 2 weeks ago:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but surely both are necessary parts of the solution given the trajectory we’re on?
No house insulation is 100% perfect, so heat transfer will still occur even with curtains closed during the day. After some number of days at say the 35-40 degrees we’re already seeing across Europe (and let’s face it, we’re probably on track for the 50 degrees we’re seeing in Japan within a decade), the temperature will equalise internally to that.
In order to counter that we need an efficient way of moving heat from inside back out again without letting any more in, which is not something many houses in the UK can do today.
- Comment on Overheated homes: why UK housing is dangerously unprepared for impact of climate crisis 2 weeks ago:
We need to be installing heat pumps and solar panels everywhere immediately.
The government needs to be pushing this hard with big subsidies otherwise we’re going to have the NHS on its knees as the summer becomes just as bad as winter.
There will be mass death if we don’t do something about this within the next few years
- Comment on Encryption Made for Police and Military Radios May Be Easily Cracked 2 weeks ago:
Well I’m sure if you’re a criminal trying to access police radio and you figure it out, it’s not really in your interests to let everyone know about it

C’mon guys, “BitUnlocker”? “BitLooker” was right there
- Comment on AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day 2 weeks ago:
Kinda sad in a way
Our first ISP was AOL back around 1995
- Comment on I have some very old CDs, mostly retro video games. Is there a way to pull the games and data off the CDs for preservation? 2 weeks ago:
It is still around actually! I looked into it a month or two ago when I was having some similar thoughts as OP. I found it quite cool they’ll let you download a windows 9x compatible version too for people using the images on a retro machine.
I’ve done the DVDs I care about, and ensuring I’ve got FLACs of all my CDs is probably next.
I’m deciding if it’s actually worth doing my PS1 games given I’ve already got a (not entirely legitimate) full 1g1r library on my media server, my rarest game is probably silent hill and that’s definitely already in there.
