bongodongobob··on Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock
A flashbang or tear gas will also do the trick, they don't need fancy wifi tricks.
bongodongobob··on The brain navigates new spaces by 'darting' between reality and mental maps
Sure. But it's not really the motion I experienced, it was the polling.

I also have noticed a "ticking" effect at times. Maybe around 5-10Hz or so. Felt like some kind of global clock tick that was updating perception. Everything in between was interpolated. Course it could just be the drugs /shrug
bongodongobob··on Americans' love of billiards paved the way for synthetic plastics
I've never understood this. Just pack a lighter. I don't know what you need sawdust or cottonballs for. What would you be lighting that can't be broken up into small pieces? Where are you going to be where you can't find a bit of leaves or paper or cloth? The moon?
bongodongobob··on Astronomers 'image' a mysterious dark object in the distant Universe
100-200 solar masses is not one of the largest known. There are many that are 1000s of times more massive than the sun.
bongodongobob··on American solar farms
Normal people understand this. The people of northern WI are a bit challenged.
bongodongobob··on American solar farms
It does. Even at 0F, you'll see snow melting on the roofs in winter.
bongodongobob··on American solar farms
The contractors that build it and the jobs to maintain them.

Deer breeding isn't liberal wokeness. Only the good ol boys do that, so it's ok.
bongodongobob··on American solar farms
Yeah, in Oconto county Wisconsin, residents are all up in arms about a solar farm going up. It's the poorest county in the state and would bring in much needed money. The arguments against it are "this destroys farmland", "who will clean the snow off of it in winter", "I don't like how it looks", "static electricity will kill the crops around it", "it will raise the temperature of the surrounding area", "you can't recycle fiberglass so it's bad", etc.
bongodongobob··on Tennessee man arrested, accused of threatening a shooting, after posting meme
They are real. I cleansed 100s of people from Facebook that were planning Charlie Kirk vigils and shit. It's real.
bongodongobob··on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account
They do though. Especially the 24H2 stuff. They include all of the cumulative, feature, and security updates.
bongodongobob··on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account
As someone who manages 1000s of windows devices.... Do the damn upgrades. That is why your device has issues. You can have all the moral complaints you want, I get it, but you're just making things more difficult for yourself. Either follow their patching cadence or switch to Linux. You're putting yourself into a purgatory zone that is only making things more janky.

I use Remmina all the time. It did take some tinkering but if you play with compression and bit depth settings, you should be able to get it working better. I think even cuddling with the encryption settings helped as well.
bongodongobob··on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account
Yep, device activated vs user activated. It makes sense to have the option in large environments but they really screw end users on this stuff. MS licensing is insane, I have to deal with it at work, and it's unbelievably complicated. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
bongodongobob··on Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.'
Involuntary mental health holds are a thing, but it's not an offense. You will get a bill though.
bongodongobob··on Indefinite Backpack Travel
I have every time I've traveled. Lighters as well. TSA is fucking useless.
bongodongobob··on Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society
Nope, Midwest.
bongodongobob··on Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society
I'm in the Midwest. They say "for amusement only" but they all pay out.
bongodongobob··on NIST's DeepSeek "evaluation" is a hit piece
Because it's in the ruling class's favor for the populace to be uninformed.
bongodongobob··on The deadline isn't when AI outsmarts us – it's when we stop using our own minds
This comment feels like it was written in 2023.
bongodongobob··on The deadline isn't when AI outsmarts us – it's when we stop using our own minds
That's what I said about compiled languages. No one knows how to optimize assembly anymore, they just let the compiler do it.
bongodongobob··on The deadline isn't when AI outsmarts us – it's when we stop using our own minds
Now imagine that he's interested in finishing his game, not the intricacies of raycasting algorithms.
bongodongobob··on NIST's DeepSeek "evaluation" is a hit piece
Try MS Copilot. That shit will end the conversation if anything remotely political comes up.
bongodongobob··on Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society
And yet every bar I go to, as far back as I can remember, has slot machines and somehow that doesn't count? Even gas stations. Never understood this.
bongodongobob··on Self-hosting email like it's 1984
The biggest issue isn't necessarily spam, it's proving you aren't spam.
bongodongobob··on New antibiotic targets IBD and AI predicted how it would work
There are 1000s of state and community colleges. Not everyone is doing groundbreaking research. Some places, they just teach, which is fine. Additionally, I have no idea what you're trying to say.
bongodongobob··on New antibiotic targets IBD and AI predicted how it would work
That's only if there are experts there. The average college is not really what you're thinking it is.
bongodongobob··on Offline card payments should be possible no later than 1 July 2026
Huh, interesting cultural difference. I couldn't give a flying fuck whether or not merchants I buy things from do their taxes correctly.
bongodongobob··on Microsoft CTO says he wants to swap most AMD and Nvidia GPUs for homemade chips
People, sure, but that's not their target demographic. It's businesses and they aren't moving away from MS anytime soon.
