- Comment on PlayStation 5 Bounty for Alternate OS installation 1 week ago:
Same logic as any control freak; anything less than 100% control isn’t good enough.
- Comment on PlayStation 5 Bounty for Alternate OS installation 1 week ago:
For what it’s worth, the bounty is headed by Louis Rossman who’s been a loud voice in the Right to Repair movement with the help of his employer FUTO. The lack of requirement to release publicly is likely so help against anyone who might find the exploit feeling like they’ll become a target for Sony’s lawyers.

Tomato, tomahto. OP is still presenting it as fact.

Because you have a bias?
- Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 1 week ago:
I can’t agree on Schuko because I always found them to be awkward to plug in, sometimes needing to wiggle them while applying an uncomfortable amount of force.
- Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 1 week ago:
As a Brit, I’m guessing their issues with earthing is that we make everything to have a earth post, even when it’s not needed on a device, but the longer prong that is the earth post on our 3-pin plugs is a security feature of our plug/socket and makes any item that requires earthing to be earthed before it is even powered.
Couldn’t say why they have issues with ring mains though. It became the norm in a post-war Britain when copper was still scarce.
- Comment on How come in America Cunt is such a egregious word but not the same in Europe? 2 weeks ago:
That might explain it better. In other places, we don’t discriminate, we apply ‘cunt’ to men as well as women. Example: That cunt in the white Audi has been hogging the overtaking lane for 3 miles.
- Comment on America and it's racism and Israel? 2 weeks ago:
May I suggest the belief system of KeepThemOverThereism?
- Comment on In this day in age is it still hard for a person to "come out the closest" ? Or do we need the boomer generation to go away until it is so acceptable it becomes laughable for both parties? 2 weeks ago:
*In this day and age
- Comment on 62 Percent Of Countries Won't Have Access To The PlayStation Store On Digital-Exclusive PS6 2 weeks ago:
It’s interesting to see Sony currently doing basically everything any business school would advise again.
On the off-chance we’ve got any of the brain dead apologists in here, does it not seem odd the CEO sold his shares? Food for thought…
- Comment on Is Nord VPN worth it? 2 weeks ago:
Still much cheaper and has verified no-logs since the acquisition.
- Comment on What is with America and the #9? For example stuff cost something like 9.99 or 3 payments of 39.99 or 9 out of 10 doctors or dentists or whomever agree? 2 weeks ago:
It really hurts to hear people can be this stupid.
- Comment on If you need a portable reader, is there any reason to choose an e-reader over your phone? 2 weeks ago:
It’s an easy process to install KOReader on Kobos, though that’s ultimately to have more options. The Kobo software is already decently capable and doesn’t shove ads down your throat like Kindle does.
- Comment on Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise? 2 weeks ago:
Couldn’t agree more. During my time in Canada, I was spending 5x the money for 1/10th of the plan I’ve currently got, and that was the best I could find at the time.
- Comment on When people die in wildfires, is it that the fire spread too fast for people to mobilise escape? Or more that people were delayed leaving? 2 weeks ago:
The biggest cause of death with any kind of fire is smoke inhalation, not the fire itself. Comparatively, it’s uncommon for people to be still long enough to burn to death.
- Comment on Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise? 2 weeks ago:
No idea where you are, but I have experience with European services, US and Canadian. In all of them Unlimited calls and texts are the first perk to come along, even at a weedly 200MB data plan.
- Comment on Is America going to have a population problem like other countries are have nowadays? 2 weeks ago:
I do love a good multiple choice 😂
- Comment on Is America going to have a population problem like other countries are have nowadays? 3 weeks ago:
Or housing crisis from overcrowding, perhaps.

I wonder how many would know how to get a radio if it came to it. “Okay, I just need to get a radio from Amazon… Shiiiiit”
- Comment on If I went to a mechanic for my car and told them I had a problem with the aft starboard tire would they think I'm a dork? 5 weeks ago:
As an ex-mechanic and ex player of Sea of Thieves, yes, I’d laugh. I’d understand, but I’d laugh. Other mechanics likely wouldn’t understand what you mean since pretty much the only crossover terminology between ships and cars is ‘wheel’.
- Comment on How much money do you think Superman could make if he offered his services to NASA as a launch vehicle? 1 month ago:
As a person, absolutely. As king of Atlantis, there’d probably be a lot of political push-back.
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 1 month ago:
Yup. Their freedom bone twitches otherwise.
- Comment on How much money do you think Superman could make if he offered his services to NASA as a launch vehicle? 1 month ago:
For the sunken treasure, I’d imagine Aquaman has dibs.
- Comment on is our battery/junk drawer dangerous? 1 month ago:
The danger rating to any person in your household being harmed by the batteries in this drawer is about on the same level as receiving an electric shock from your TV while sitting on your sofa.
- Comment on is our battery/junk drawer dangerous? 1 month ago:
The two black things towards the top are a multimeter and an ifixit brand repair kit (basically just a screwdriver and some multiple-dozen screwdriver bits), so nothing that will explode.
- Comment on In a state that offers legal aid is it worth it? Or is it pretty much the bottom of the barrel for defense and compensation? 1 month ago:
At the bare minimum, with a bad lawyer, you have a chance to appeal on a mistrial. Representing yourself, you don’t even have that.
- Comment on How would Asian countries treat American passport holders in the event of a collapse? 1 month ago:
Same shit, similar hat. It really doesn’t matter all that much, buddy.
- Comment on Is there anyone or any part of the Trump Regime that is not actively bowing down to him? 1 month ago:
Why would anyone question His Lord Trump? Are you doubting Him, blasphemer?
- Comment on 2 months ago:
They know. Their first paragraph was a good paraphrase of the following line.
