• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Like Elon Musk, 1 in 3 bosses admit they are pushing RTO because they're so upset about wasting money on all those empty desks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s nice to find the rant in your head written out. A previous employer of mine dropped two properties in favor of a store front.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do spam calls "I wanna buy your house" ever work? Has anyone ever sold their house like that?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I always ask for about 3x my estimated tax value. They ask why, and I tell them that I want to but another house that isn’t falling down around me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there humans who require heating lights like pet reptiles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people need sunlight fixtures in their home due to low vitamin d.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon starts selling Hyundai cars, more brands next year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the Kindle Fire, ads will stream to the occupants if nothing is playing over the audio system. There would be no way to install a third party sound system because it is also the computer.

  Send a pic of what you are seeing.

  My older teenage son got into the game pretty hard for a month or two on beta or whatever and got me to play.

  The mechanics are fun. I’d like to see more story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nightmare Blunt Rotation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like parents behind the shed during a girl scout meeting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Many of us tried. Not exactly loic-level mischief, but it was a concerted effort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like Reddit should disable post comment/s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a laptop docking station be used on a KVM switch?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You will probably only see issues if you are using conversion cables, like from HDMI to DP.

  I have seen issues with Tripp Lite not detecting video signal on a DP KVM if the device isn’t selected during boot, but the issue is resolved once you hit Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We just finished. We were 0-10 on knocking on doors. Eventually they gave up and kept on trucking.

  Ugh. Searats again? Didn’t we just send them packing one book ago?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you filthy casuals wouldn't understand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This device is totally capable of running Minecraft, assuming it’s an older version.

  It contains one of two computers.

  The older computer was manufactured around '07, has a dual core processor, and may have up to 2g of ddr2.

  The newer version I believe was manufactured around 2012 and has a 4 core processor with up to 8 gigs of ddr3.

  Both are capable of running Windows, but I wouldn’t put 10 on the older one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets a pizza⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vegetables are a portmanteau of vegetation and table, as they are vegetarian for the table.

  All fruits are vegetation for the table, or vegetables. It’s just that not all vegetables are fruits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make my own internet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I was thinking more of having a dedicated border device, and limiting the number of neighbors. You would also have to trust you neighbors to run software that self assembles a network, especially in a crowded area.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make my own internet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure exactly what I would do with it either. It’s not meant for illegal activity, but I can see it being used they way. Properly secured it could be another dark web.

  I thought about it needing some kind of border protocol to manage locations and routes. One would need to come up with an address and probably a certificate.

  Regarding physical connections, I would say it’s easiest to use wireless. I personally wouldn’t want to advertise that my location is my network, so like the onion network I would like it to route away and double back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make my own internet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this isn’t what is being asked, but has any of us considered a crowd network where independent users mesh? I would say that I would not want the mesh to meet the www due to endpoint abuse, but to have an independent can/man could be pretty rad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Hustle - Weird deepfake video⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice display of the technology.

  Interesting to see that the gecko couldn’t stay in one shape, the police had their hands on Harris’s crotch, and the Pope had time for a couple costume changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker Shows How to Get Free Laundry For Life⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So, I guess 20a dryers aren’t super common here in the States.

  Also, where I grew up apartment complexes don’t allow you to run water lines. I have heard that leases in New York City allow for more modifications, so it could be a regional thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker Shows How to Get Free Laundry For Life⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all American apartments have water lines for the washer or 30a outlets for the dryer, much less dedicated space for the devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oxygen discovery defies knowledge of the deep ocean⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s mind blowing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Zyn gonna kill me and the boys?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t sure if this was peer pressure or satire so I bought a tin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally a useful feature (no)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds better then what I have run into, so thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally a useful feature (no)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How about the ability to set a specific dpi at the touch or hold of a button? I don’t need to cycle through six settings, just allow me to toggle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reflects on e-sports⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You beat me to the punch.

  We were absolutely considering output delay and hoarding our CRT monitors.

  Some of us were also initially concerned about input delay from early USB until we were shown that while it is slower that it was unnoticeable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon interviews for a job⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Printers used to refer to the page separation rollers as retard rollers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple apologizes for iPad 'Crush' ad that 'missed the mark'⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Watched the ad. It was meh.

  Read the article. It seems to be manufactured outrage to get people to watch the ad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Poster heard about people who don’t wear their shoes in the house, except for slippers. They want to know how to make it work for quick jaunts out of doors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s not your job, but you can do the following: Disable widgets/news and weather Disable notifications from anything but Microsoft and business-oriented software such as your anti virus Disable notifications from websites Unpin unnecessary items from the start Stop unnecessary items from starting up in task Manager That handles most of it.

  I also like to reset the task bar back to the classic look, remove the search bar, Windows store, and task view button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s alarm fatigue. At some point you don’t know what is important any longer, so you either click on everything or nothing.
