- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 2 weeks ago:
Surprised no-one pitched Elite:Dangerous. Certainly a labour of love to begin with, incredibly talented sound design, first space sim to VR, truly devoted to the original material… Still going pretty strong (had a few weak years) with updates (only 2 DLC-ish major updates of which were paid) a decade later…
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 2 weeks ago:
Privately owned (no shareholders), small team that seems to love what they’re doing, they can likely go on forever. Strange how a lack of shareholders correlates with good games (/platforms, Valve!) isn’t it ?
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 1 month ago:
Yarr !, my experience has been stellar ;) (Gaben: It’s a service problem…)
- Comment on Labor’s landslide victory obscures a disturbing trend for the major parties 2 months ago:
Yeah, that’s some bullshit, but the trend away from the duopoly has been ongoing for what, this century ?. That’s just patching a leaky bucket with sand. They scared.
- Comment on What Refutes Science... 4 months ago:
Not to my mind, science requires a testable hypothesis and evidence. I would argue that merely refuting someone else’s hypothesis without providing a new one doesn’t meet the bar of doing science.
- Comment on What Refutes Science... 4 months ago:
Sorry, I don’t understand.
- Comment on What Refutes Science... 4 months ago:
Counterexamples also refute, without necessarily being science.
- Comment on How Star Trek: Lower Decks Managed To Get Enterprise’s Jolene Blalock To Appear, And Why She’s Only Credited By Her First Name 6 months ago:
If you believe in the final episode, they failed, hard. Otherwise, I’ve grown to like it, found the beard from the latter half of season 3. Shame the post 9/11 dark shift killed it before it could get its seven. Feel much the same about Lower Decks, too soon.
- Comment on Our first new Framework Laptop 16 Expansion Bay module - the Dual M.2 Adapter, enabling you to add additional storage drives or other high speed devices. 6 months ago:
Last I heard, there was a community effort designing an 8xPCIe4 (yes, that’s a thing) Occulink adaptor, love to hear if anyone’s got any info on it.
That said, M2 <-> Occulink adaptors abound, so, with some pretty trivial hacking this could support 2xeGPUs!
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 8 months ago:
Or, in the Homerian fashion, It’s Funny Coz It’s True. Agreed.
- Comment on Boo 8 months ago:
Well, anything over a non-continuous x for example off the top of my head (and, yes for well-defined forms you can do the integral), still I have no idea what the cartoonist is on about and haven’t heard ‘anti-derivative’ for a donkey’s age, guess it’s poorly defined grade school stuff.
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
isn’t most of modern vegetable agriculture at least equally harmful
I’m a going with far more harmful.

Nice to see tech jesus here (getting this right?), normally in my rss feed…

Thanks, needed that.
- Comment on Cheeky 8 months ago:
You had doubts ? ;}
- Comment on Cheeky 8 months ago:
Thanks kindly.
- Comment on Cheeky 8 months ago:
Yeah, saw that, guess it could be, not compelled. Cheers though.

Means they don’t know…
Although asshole might be strong.
- Comment on Cheeky 8 months ago:
Citation please ?, I want to know more.
- Comment on Cheeky 8 months ago:
I did, for the lazy
Your point ? I didn’t go deep, but nothing jumps out at me.

And a few people will get extremely rich by siphoning off a percent or two, circle of life baby /s

The Most Exciting Phrase in Science Is Not ‘Eureka!’ But ‘That’s Odd!’
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 10 months ago:
Been around since at least early Final Fantasy / Chrono Trigger SNES era (for some values of action)
- Comment on If you could change the ending of one movie, which one would it be, and how would you change it? 11 months ago:
Serenity, Wash. (too soon ? :)
- Comment on Zuckerberg bets on personalized AI models for all • The Register 11 months ago:
Agreed, and the chance of it backfiring on them is indeed pleasingly high. If the compute moat for initial training gets lower (e.g. trinary/binary models) or distributed training (Hivemind etc) takes off, or both, or something new, all bets are off.
- Comment on Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription 11 months ago:
They’re talking about a Trackball mouse e.g., not the pre laser mice (or they’re nuts). Good ergonomics, useful for carpal tunnel etc.
FWIW I’ve found their high-end mice pretty robust, my MX Master 2 is still going strong 5+ years in, if cosmetically challenged. Amortised over time, the price is not so bad.
