Some People are Too Stupid To Have Credit Cards

At least 30 years ago these people had to get off their ass, look in the mirror, and then drive down to the mall. Sure there was tv shopping; but you really can only buy so many shitty bracelets and necklaces.

Hey new generation. No this isn't a generational problem. The same people said it about my generation and the one before it. Please internet generation hear this:
" You aren't worth it. You don't deserve it. Shut up and get to work. "

Repeat that to yourself the next time you Ubereat and think something looks nice on a facebook or tiktok.

I don't care what this guy says. He should go play in traffic.

These guys have mismanaged several games, the only one I really cared about was KSP2. Not allowing developers to talk to the existing team, having zero meaningful targets or decision points, allowing good idea fairies to run the show, and not nailing down an actual working game engine....

Then closing it down to focus on more profitable items. I get space sim isn't ever going to make as much money as driving the car down the sidewalk and running people down...but I'm still upset this guy let it all happen the way it did.

So if you plan, and then try to do a big thing, and you find out you're a failure because you didn't actually plan... Please tell me these guys didn't just keep getting paychecks.

You know damn well a single full server rack can have enormous power density and simple math says you can't power it .... and you are just 'hoping' some other enormous project comes along you must be hella stupid.

If you don't control it...you can't count on it.

Comment 99% (Score 5, Informative) 164

In other news, 99% of studios and developers in 2025 lack the ability to do proper server administration and bandwidth management.
Many think proper user engagement and marketing involve the words "Join our discord".

Trust me, they are a monopoly, but they literally take care of 98% of the problems you would face upon launch day and continued distribution.

Want to do a public beta test? Easy.
Want to load to 3 million users at once? Easy.
Want to be discovered for your sandcastle building game alongside other competing sandcastle building games? Easy.

Comment Latency? (Score 2, Interesting) 90

Bluetooth latency from your phone to the speaker .... of all the things to scaremonger about.

Pretty positive that the speaker will react properly in less than 1/3 of a second most of the time.

As much as I hate to see companies brick smart features people paid good money for, lets face it none of these functions were necessary. The only possible legitimate feature is linking multiple speakers together properly. This can be done with more professional methods than some shitty app.

Win10 is a solid 10 years old.
Same as an Ubuntu LTS with a support subscription.

Honestly this is fair.

Operating system preservation is a dead argument. They aren't coming to your house and disabling it. It just probably shouldn't touch the internet anymore. You can still run it forever, you just can't on infinity manufacturer warranty support.

Comment Mistakes were made (Score 4, Insightful) 58

I am fully aware of the limitations that made node.js seem like a good idea.

I will get down voted hard, but the problems occured when somebody decided that they wanted to run javascript for a core piece of software. The fact other people piled onto it just compounded the problem.

If you need a thing - you write the software for it. Javascript is probably 30 years old now, but it is still a bad decision.

It is exactly equal to all things container. Sure the idea of a discrete blob that isolates a thing is great...but this is not how anybody is using it. The number of nooblets building environments with hundreds of containers orchestrated to do a certain task is startling. Nooblets that don't have any idea how to actually set up or run a server, multiplying bad practices by the hundreds.

Comment It isn't a harvest (Score 1) 10

It isn't a harvest that you have to wait for farmers. Other organizations have acted a little quicker.
Curious why they took longer.
Sure, Google was faster to report. But companies like the middle eastern branch of Coca-Cola and Chanel don't exactly strike me as quick business or cyber response teams.

Comment Least effort (Score 1) 30

I feel like they need to at least put forth the effort to restore its original blue/silver. White is pretty awful. Removing the white paint on an aluminum hull probably won't be easy, but any collector willing to shell out for it is probably going to be more interested if the thing at least superficially looks right.
