  • we need more users

    Jump

  • It is. It's one of the reasons i've pivot back to reddit these last few months.

    1. More then Reddit this place is an echo chamber for the far left anti capitalist crowd. While I don't mind a discussion, everything over simplified to EAT THE RICH was getting tiresome.
    2. No company or institution is here. If I have a problem with my [insert device or appliance here] chances are good someone on reddit will reply and 50/50 there is a useable answer somewhere. Here it just stays silent. Or you get the anti capitalist reply that everything is fucked and we should just eat the rich.
    3. There are no real gaming or device or brand communities. Want to ask something about modding game x? Not here. Want to hook up with other players of game y? Not here. Want to know how to fix your [household appliance here]? Not here..Have a problem with mainboard from brand z? Not here.
    4. When you ask something here about Linux or any other gpl software the answer often times boils down to RTFMI! (I= idiot) That also happens on reddit to be honest. But here it's just more extreme. And I know I'm an idiot. That's why I asked. I'm too stupid can someone please explain.
    5. Where the fuck is LJDawson. Sync is dead it seems.

    And yes. Reddit more and more feels like an AI test site. For example the AITA posts are getting more and more out of this world. They are unbelievable, that's just for clicks. So the enshittification is not slowly but very fast becoming a problem and within a few months it will be another youtube, unusable. But for now... It's the best we have.

  • Guest vlan? Smart.

    Blocking 80/443 knowing all to well everything depends on those: evil.

    Throttling to 56k: the original original poster just being a dick.

    Took 45 minutes: Maybe find another job. You're not good at it.

    Conclusion: The sister was right. Evil incompetent dick.

  • From a non US Perspective (most of the world) this is a non issue.

    Because for the rest of the world the answer to this dilemma boils down to:

    Do you want to be shook down by the big guy in the left corner with the can of coke in his hand or do you prefer to be fucked over by that big Asian guy in the right corner who's slurping on his bubble tea?

    I choose the one who demands the least.

  • if you really believe Tim Apple isn't doing the same shit only a Little bit smarter so its les obvious then I'm sorry to wake you from your dream but:

    All big tech is bad. Apple. Microsoft. Oracle. Meta. Snap. IBM. Digital Ocean. Amazon. Etc.

    There are no good guys. Only bad and worse. Its not the good, the bad and the ugly. It's the bad (Apple), the really bad (Microsoft and most of the rest) and the obnoxiously bad. (Special place in hell for Meta, TikTok and Google)

  • Autism proof

  • I just love MiG's. Why? Because the ruskies just rawdogged everything. They saw the F16 with all that fancy fly by wire stuff and made a nimble MiG without any real computer assisted flying with the fulcrum. You have the fastest plane with the SR-71? Well fuck that, here , we've put an after burner on that MiG-31 so big it more or less matches the SR-71 speed. It just burns through the engine in one flight and the airframe also takes a big hit when you use it but who cares about costs, we're commies.

    Soviet aerospace engineers man. You just have to love them. They really used that hammer logic (hit it harder!) on everything.

    Or the approach which led to the hind heli. What? You need a gunship and you need a troop transport? What do you say, the Americans have pinpoint precision on that superCobra and that shiny Apache thingy?

    Here, i've made it big so it can fit a lot of troops. I've added some large wings so you can fill her up with all kinds of low tech Rockets so you don't need pinpoint precision. Just point and click in the general direction and everything over there is annihilated. Yeah, that goes for that tank and that family of twelve 100m further down the street where you didn't aim at as well.

    But, they aren't us anyway so.... And next to that the fucker is really fast for such a big helo..

    The design principles are so fantasticly wack. Matching (try to) western computertech with low tech solutions.

  • TIL that Toys R Us wasn't killed by competition, but by private equity companies

    Jump

  • The exact workings im not familiar with but it's called "leveraged buyout" where the net worth of the firm which is bought is the collateral.

    So .. you buy firm A with money you lended. When the sale gors through all belongings of firm A are yours! So you sell them off, you know what? You want to make a profit so you sell EVERYTHING.

    Now firm A is but a husk of it's former self. So now is the time to put it in some holding company or something. Now the husk of firm A is indebted to you.

    Oh noes! It goes bankrupt! With your investment firm as the biggest lender to it!

  • sorry for the commercial

    Jump

  • Not him but:

    Risk of rain (returns) Hades 1/2 Nebulous fleet command Star sector Homeworld 1, cataclysm (emergence), 2 Battletech (!!!!!!!) Spaz 1 (not 2!) Mechwarrior 2 Mechwarrior 5 mercs/clans Terraria FTL Steamworld games (all) Cortex command (interesting pile of shit) Kerbal Etc... So much.

    More or less mainstream games: Helldivers2 (!!!) Xcom (ufo: enemy unknown) Xcom Xcom 2 Civilisation Etc..

    With Games, like with all art, it's impossible to point to 1 or two which are the best. I've read many books, watched many films, series, plays, listened to music and played a lot of games.. i can't just pick one or two which where "the best". I can name a bunch which where great though.

  • Getting a dog vs getting a cat

    Jump

  • Tried it twice. Couldn't get a dog from the shelter. Why? We weren't married. (?) The both of us worked 4 days. We had a child.

    So we shrugged it off, waved and snuggled with the sad doggies and never came back.

    And we just bought a puppy. No rules. No problems. Now, 20+ years later we're on to our third very happy dog.

    Anyway: a lot of shelters do their best to scare people away. And they succeed.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Dude. It's time you start playing flight and/or space sims.

    (15 minutes hahahahaha)

  • Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus

    Jump

  • "small."

    Make no mistake. Gamers Nexus is a multi million dollar company.

    Sure, Bloomberg is much, much bigger. But while gamers Nexus is the underdog, it's not the toothless underdog. That little fucker will bite in bloomberg's ankles before it dies and tbf: it looks like it's already yapping and took it's first bite.

  • Do you feel sad for people born today?

    Jump

  • You are born in the very very very best stretch the human race has ever known.

    We have solutions for almost every problem which exists today.

    Wars are at an historical low point.

    Chances are good you've never been even experienced war first hand.

    Housing is expensive, yes. But chances are you're reading this on a couch or bed in a home, heated (or cooled), with a working stove, light at night and a fridge with edibles in it. And lets not talk about your immediate almost unrestricted access to all of human knowledge.

    That would be unbelievable, impossible even during 99.9% of human history. (Or somewhere near this figure)

    You should stop doomscrolling and start reading the real human history.

    All of human knowledge at your fingertips. And this is what you chose to distill from it.

  • TIL about the Concorde aircraft that flew at twice the speed of sound, and thad passenger flights from NY to London in three hours (versus 7 hours)

    Jump

  • It's the whole "I'll fall out of the sky if I go any slower with this delta wing" thing.

    To create enough lift on a smaller wing you'll have to go fast. A delta wing (v shape at the back) like on the Concord and almost all fighterjets makes it easier to go fast. They just suck at going slow.

    Add to that the " go faster!" Engines and you'll get a very loud plane.

    A Concorde was for all intents and purposes just a very large fighterjet.

  • Vintage

  • There where three. The full din keyboard plug, serial for your mouse and that unholy thing on the back of your sound blaster on which you could connect a joystick.

  • Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict

    Jump

  • Yeah, sure.

    You sound like one of those people who are the reason why we find the following warning on microwave ovens:

    WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO DRY PETS IN THIS DEVICE.

    And on plastic bags:

    WARNING: DO NOT PLACE OVER HEAD.

    We both know that this is not what it's for. And it (model S) has never been cleared ANYWHERE ON THIS GLOBE as an autonomous vehicle.

    (Adaptive with lane assist and collision detection) Cruise control/autopilot on, foot on accelerator, no eyes on the road, no hands on the steering wheel. That's malice. There where visible, audible and even tactile warnings wich this guy ignored.

    No current day vehicle (or something from 2019) has in it's manual that this is use as intended. As a matter of fact all warn you to not do that.

    And I get that you hate Tesla/Musk, don't we all. But in this case only 1 person is responsible. The asshole driving it.

  • So true

    Jump

  • Assholes can't even type, ammirite?

  • Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict

    Jump

  • Thats not a gut feeling. That's how every cruise control since it was invented in the 70s works. You press the brake or the accelerator? Cruise control (and autopilot) = off.

    That's not a gut feeling, that's what stated in the manual.

  • Does anyone truly think times are better now than 30 years ago? (US)

    Jump

  • 30 years ago? So 1995. As one who was there: fuck no. The 90s where cool, everything seemed fixed, osties travelling through Europe in their Trabant 2 stroke miniature cars. (That was fun on the Autobahn) Only Saddam was jerking around and that was far away, internet was brand new, everything seemed possible. No terrorist threat of the RAF, IRA or the bask separation front. There was even hope for peace in Israel.

    But if you would say 40 or 50 years ago? I would say fuck yes. It's much better nowadays.The cold war was wild. The recession of the 80s was bleak af, Thatcher, Reagan. PLO, RAF, IRA, Basks. No man, there was a reason behind films like aliens, Terminator and punk music. Why they resonated with society at that time. Contrary to current popular belief the 80s was not a decade long neon party. Many people lost their jobs. Youth unemployment was at it's highest ever. No jobs, no houses available. It was dark. Darkest time of my life. Everyone thought nuclear war was inevitable. We would all die of radiation or in the cold harsh nuclear winter. Yup. That was the Outlook at that time.

    70s was the all time high of the cold war, oil crisis, something else i'm forgetting. But I was a small child back then so everything about that era is hearsay.

    But for me? The 90s where good. 80s sucked hard. (End) 70s also had a lot of downs.

  • How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

    Jump

  • If your phone is powered your location can be tracked. Secured or not: your location can always be tracked.

    The rest is doubtful, always assume law enforcement has access at will.

    Just don't bring it.

  • just because we screwed up once

    Jump

  • The Nazis had to use hydrogen because that other gas was hoarded as a strategic reserve by another nation.

    But still Nazis. So...

    Anyway big flying things are cool. Still would be.

    its just that planes are faster, cheaper to build, less of a hassle to land and take off...

    What the actual hell, Microsoft?

    Jump

  • Not that guy but another: No. You? Because Microsoft is a lot of things but walled gardens is something out of Cupertino. Not Redmond.

    You can call MS shitty and I would fully concur but a walled gardens it's not.

    You don't need ad, Exchange/outlook, m365, entraid. They're nice for most users but you can live without and use other services in their place on any MS platform.

    Now, iOS..... Have fun with that.
