Horrible comment and attitude. People are trying to quote you for legitimate comment and criticism. This alone was enough for me to close the tab with your blog and ignore anything else you're going to say.
DecentShoes··on All clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity
Mod an iPod with hundreds of gigabytes of SD storage, a bigger battery, and bluetooth
DecentShoes··on iPhone Air
There are not Android phones in that form factor
DecentShoes··on iPhone Air
You know, that's a good point. At least the air will have amazing battery life once it's in a purpose built battery case

I wasn't asking for my phone to be thinner. I was asking for my phone to be SMALLER. In the other two dimensions...

Can you provide the bracketing??
DecentShoes··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
Guess I'm getting an iPhone. If both are locked down, I may as well have the one that has a decent watch.
DecentShoes··on Tiny, removable "mini SSD" could eventually be a big deal for gaming handhelds
Not in the Steam Deck, it maxes out at 104Mb/s.

Considering the insane tempuratures the cards reach, and that it destroys brand new SD cards, I don't want them going any faster until it works safely.

Pointless and unhelpful grammar Nazism.
DecentShoes··on Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally?
This seems likely. Blizzard even sold off old World of Warcraft servers. You can still get them on ebay
DecentShoes··on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C
This is insanely common.

I have about 6 devices with this problem, and I consider it unforgivable.

Not only did you not include USBC charging, you went out of your way to trick me and lie and pretend you did. I would have preferred just using micro usb at that point.

Powkiddy committed fraud and said the RGB30 can charge from USB-C, but they lied, it can only charge from USB A to C cables. Using it is a massive pain because I have to get adapters I shouldn't need. I'll never buy anything from them ever again.

DecentShoes··on Cellular Starlink expands to support IoT devices
Fair enough.

Are you sure? I know the dish needs to know where the satellite is, but that doesn't mean the satellite needs to know where the dish is...
DecentShoes··on I designed my own fast game streaming video codec – PyroWave
Hell, you could do eye tracking and full on foveated rendering.
DecentShoes··on It's a DE9, not a DB9 (but we know what you mean)
What's that?
DecentShoes··on Valve confirms credit card companies pressured it to delist certain adult games
I hereby declare that everything you like should be banned.
DecentShoes··on Does showing seconds in the system tray actually use more power?
I would have been happy with no seconds in the tray, but showing the seconds if you click on the clock - technology that existed a decade ago in Windows 10, but is obviously technologically impossible for hundreds of PhD holding software engineers at the richest company in the world to figure out in 2025.

DecentShoes··on Touching the back wall of the Apple store
I met a girl I knew while she was doing one of those jobs and it was a very boring, normal, local kind of pub. I guess the goal is to increase profits so it's seen as marketing/an investment.
DecentShoes··on Touching the back wall of the Apple store
They definitely do this in bars. I've had friends that got recruited thru modelling agencies. It's not a huge stretch to think of them doing it in other types of retail too.

Leftists are simply fascists at this point. Actual, literal fascists.
DecentShoes··on WhatsApp introduces ads in its app
Yes, but they did it because Australia forced them to.
DecentShoes··on WhatsApp introduces ads in its app
True. Yet, if you don't charge for the software itself, but instead you make that purchase only unlock a skin or some fake currency in that software, and worse, only have a small chance of being the one that user wants, suddenly people will pay 10, 20, or 100 dollars for your software, over and over again.
DecentShoes··on Waymo rides cost more than Uber or Lyft and people are paying anyway
I would pay the extra since there's no driver to talk to me.

*It's important to slow down older iPhones so people have to buy a new one
DecentShoes··on Apple introduces a universal design across platforms
So why did they slow down iPhones that weren't shutting down randomly?
DecentShoes··on Apple introduces a universal design across platforms
That was fake, tho. They slowed down old iPhones to make you buy a new one. My iPhone 7 wasn't auto shutting down, battery health was good, but they still made it so slow it was unusable the same week they released the iPhone X.

There is literally a zero percent chance it was anything to do with batteries. This is not a conspiracy theory. It's an objective fact.

DecentShoes··on Apple introduces a universal design across platforms
But this one is true. Apple obviously puts out slowdown updates right as they release a new phone. They made my iPhone 7 unusable the same week they released the iPhone X.
DecentShoes··on Apple introduces a universal design across platforms
iOS 7 made the iPhone 4 practically unusable.
