- Comment on Dune: Awakening Draws Nearly 100,000 Players On Steam Before Full Release 23 hours ago:
You sure that guy wasn’t playing on a potato? Low VRAM makes a lot of games look like crap, because it’s either dropping textures or running like ass when you overflow VRAM.
- Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one? 3 days ago:
My phone will hotspot when it’s connected to WiFi. I can even tether it to a desktop PC and use it as a WiFi adapter.

Apparently, but not flawlessly.
- Comment on You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car 1 week ago:
Instead of running a magnetic tape over the cassette player’s sensor, you put an electromagnet on it powered by the headphone jack. The cassette player just reads the magnetic field and doesn’t know any difference.
- Comment on Nvidia’s RTX 5060 review debacle should be a wake-up call for gamers and reviewers 2 weeks ago:
against two weaker GPUs (the 3060 and 2060 Super) where the new card would be sure to win.
IIRC they also insisted multi-frame generation be used, which the 3060 and 2060 Super don’t support. That’s why the 4060 isn’t allowed, it does support MFG and it’d sink the plan to inflate 5060 benchmark results with fake frames.
The specific games using specific settings at 1080p bit is because in 2025 they have to carefully choose scenarios that won’t overflow the tiny VRAM of the cards and tank performance to below the level of the 3060 12GB.
Shout out to Hardware Unboxed for getting a 5060 review done at Computex with some amazing B-roll

And Linux nerds.
- Comment on On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down 5 weeks ago:
Sorry, best we can do is microtransactions, fear of missing out and AI slop. That’ll be $90.

This. Your mail isn’t going to be opened by the CEO. Hurt the business, not the worker. Mail them a box of rocks or something, the company will pay postage on it and the minimum wage guy opening packages will laugh.

- Comment on I can't believe it let me do that 1 month ago:
I do, because between every online service being hammered by scrapers training AI and every online service being stuffed full of AI slop, it’s ruining the internet.
- Comment on We are back in sync with lemmy.world! 1 month ago:
Lemmy works by sending a message between servers, waiting for an OK, sending another message, waiting for an OK, etc.
That means if servers are on opposite sides of the world and it takes 0.2 seconds to send a message and get an acknowledgement, you have a hard limit of 5 messages that can be sent per second, even if they’re both on 100 gigabit links.
Lemmy.world was sending aussie.zone about 16,000 messages per hour, which is about 4.5 per second. So around 220 ms per message. And it wasn’t keeping up.
Now lemmy.world has… it looks like two separate connections sending messages to aussie.zone, so it can have two messages in flight at a time.
- Comment on Battery tech really does move fast 2 months ago:
But then you can’t inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank’s 5V output voltage.

Well, we have preferential voting, so you can vote for whoever you actually want and put both of those further down the ballot.
- Comment on Senator threatens climate body after nuclear 'carbon bomb' report 3 months ago:
I mean, the proposal is to build seven new nuclear plants in a country with no existing nuclear industry. That’s probably just realistically how long that would take, so nuclear is the problem.
It can’t be deployed quickly, and it especially can’t be deployed quickly by Australia. If it could, the coalition wouldn’t be using it as an excuse to keep burning coal and gas.

It’s school IT, so it was probably a teacher who ‘knows computers’ and not anyone with IT training.
- Comment on Victim Anon 4 months ago:
IIRC the pop up even did scummy bullshit like continuing with the update if you closed the popup by clicking the cross in the top right of the window, you had to actually click the cancel button.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Yeah… One of my great great grandmothers, nobody was ever allowed to know how old she was while she was alive. It was this weird mystery.
Turns out if you knew her age you could easily count backwards and work out that when she got married she was 13 years old and about four months pregnant.

- Comment on Any relations experts? 5 months ago:
But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”
“I’ve had loads of gay experiences. I’ve seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I’ve described a cake as ‘to die for’. But I’ve never had the gay experience of having another man’s cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts.”

- Comment on Honda teases reveal of two new Honda Zero EV prototypes 5 months ago:
‘Teases prototypes’? Do they think it’s 2010? Nobody cares about your EV prototypes, launch something people can buy or just resign yourself to being killed off by the wave of Chinese EVs.
As a great philosopher once said, “Shit or get off the pot.”

IIRC different species of frogs make wildly different sounds, so all of the languages might just be what type of frog lives in that country.
