- Comment on Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales 1 week ago:
Yes and no.
Yes it can make sense fpr physical goods.
No, it’s not a good thing. - Comment on Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales 1 week ago:
Meh.
Yes, for already announced limited runs of physical items that you know the quality off (say merch from artists) it’s more fine than for mainly digital goods.
And, I have to agree, such a broad blanket statement is not really applicable to every type of purchase or life situation.To be fully transparent: Even I participated in pre-orders. Off the top I can only remember some artist merch items like CDs I pre-heard some tracks and know what to expect from it and the Kickstarter for the uGreen NAS. But even for the uGreen NAS I knew the specs, price and if It’s compatible with what I want to do before committing.
For any other purchase I waited patiently. - Comment on Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales 1 week ago:
I genuinely don’t get the “don’t pre order just buy the day it releases” thing. What do you think you’re winning?
It’s about sending a message. A message that pre-ordering is not worth anymore and they (hopefully) stop releasing unfinished beta releases.

Idk. But I think General Grievous could have been even better /s

Stop.
Pre-Ordering. - Comment on I Tried To Make Something In America (The Smarter Scrubber Experiment) - Smarter Every Day 308 1 week ago:
How is bringing back foreign manufacturing a MAGA thing?
This is essentially the whole selfhoating community doing the same thing with cloud services. And I wouldnt in my dreams vote for our country equivalent of the republicans.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 1 week ago:
You mean the Linux room? You think the average person cares on what OS their stuff runs?
You, my dear friend, are a very loud and vocal minority. - Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 1 week ago:
I believe somewhere else that idea/project was taken back to the workshop and this is something else but close to that.
- Comment on Come join us for Movie Night tonight: We're watching The Fifth Element. 8pm East 1 week ago:
Just watched it 24h ago. Nice coincidence.
Solid 6.5/10 for me - Comment on What If Disney World Was Rebuilt For Cars Instead? 1 week ago:
What they need is a parking garage.
Eitger multi-story above or sub-terrain. I hate those 2D parking lots. - Comment on my phone turning my headphone volume one notch from silent halfway through a song then telling me off for turning it back up 2 weeks ago:
Way too deep (as usual in todays world).
Just yesterday I was wrangling my phone because my passwort manager stopped showing inline overlays for passwords. - Comment on Germany weighs 10% tax on online platforms like Google 2 weeks ago:
Youtube, Google one (or whatever that’s called now, etc etc.
- Comment on Germany weighs 10% tax on online platforms like Google 2 weeks ago:
Maybe to not scare of the big G for now?
Just increase the percentage every 2 years to boil the frog slowly :) - Comment on Germany weighs 10% tax on online platforms like Google 2 weeks ago:
I would assume they will just raise the price for everyone in D(ACH) to faciliate the 10% increase.
They won’t yield and eat the 10%.
Maybe if the whole EU did that. Maybe - Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome. 3 weeks ago:

Advantage of using the app: Remote shutter/control.
Very convenient if you take lunar photos. - Comment on In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you” 3 weeks ago:
Do all that but just without all the AI crap.
Thank you very much. - Comment on In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you” 3 weeks ago:
And they killed Wordpad for that.
Now I didnt use wordpad at all and was content with txt and md files.
But that is vile. - Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
What’s the original? Sounds as fun as ‘Front fell off’
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Amd on Windows they removed the functionality to remote into other machines.
Only business accounts for now.
But not for Android, iOS/MacOS.
Like whaaaaaat??? - Comment on people trashing the self-service section of the post office 5 weeks ago:
They would peobably need a small trash compactor for the boxes to crush them.

Less conspiracy, more auto-correct?
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 5 weeks ago:
It’s a double dipping technique.
First all players are hyped for GTA6, some even buying a console to experience it on launch day.
Then the PC release get’s out 1-2 years later and everyone with a capable rig know it will run better there and buy it again.Assuming it will be a 80€ game, they now made 160€ in revenue instead of 80.

Sounds like the writer confused Mbps with MB/s or something.
But even then it’s kinda weird. - Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 1 month ago:
