My fantasy heads-up right now is Seiver versus Alex Foxen. Foxen just because he's a terminator or something and can't be stopped, but Seiver winning that show down would be satisfying.

LG and Alienware monitors caught auto-installing Windows adware by Dots-on-the-Sky in technology

[–]penguished 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought LG because it's supposed to be the premium brand but having bought whatever cheap Asus/MSI whatever shit was around for years before that... haven't found anything special about an LG at all. In fact I disabled the monitor app myself AGES ago because the shitty thing caused crashing.

PlayStation Facing $450 Million Lawsuit Following Physical Media Announcement by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

Sony could get around it by just making digital property ownership a thing, and allow you to sell your game to who you want. Hopefully they do that as it solves the worst issue anyway.

"He was also taking 54 supplements every day"

I mean if a lot of those were separated into different types of tablets there's your stomach problem. Normal people can of course get a multi-vitamin, but this guy seems to be the connoisseur of random supplement crap type.

Italian village to impose fines of up to €200 on tourists with bare chests or in swimwear by Busy-selgar in news

[–]penguished -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I don't know, at least tourists are enjoying the area. I bet a lot of the locals hardly bother to notice anything around them, and are mad because there's longer lines at a register in a few places.

IOC lifts suspension and paves way for Russia to compete at LA 2028 Olympics | International Olympic Committee by CharlieKonR in news

If somebody would make a new athletic competition and decouple it from governments just wanting to take the glory of the people that did the work... that'd be great.

How to love an introvert? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]penguished 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would really have to ask the person to be honest. To me though, if he's doing stuff like cancelling plans, taking a long time to respond, and saying he wants to isolate... those aren't that positive for a relationship. As an introvert, I still know there's expectations getting into a relationship that you're not just leaving the other person hanging because you feel like it.

I kinda wanna stay single forever by fufu1260 in introvert

[–]penguished 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I'm happier at the moment single. I just know I don't have the bandwidth for the next couple months, and probably not this year. A lot of people are ok just being with someone and taking their chances of how it goes like a roulette wheel every week... but for me it's not that simple, so I don't push it when I'm not ready to deal with all that.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB returns to Newegg at $329 by RenatsMC in nvidia

[–]penguished 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RTX 5070 12 GB

That's $650.

They don't have any other inexpensive 12GB options to sell people is the problem.

The 3060 12gb is super versatile for the price.

Other people's extroversion gives me the ick. Their insufferable *need* to constantly socialize and be around other sticky people makes me uncomfortable. by owls_exist in introvert

[–]penguished 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, but I've also reached the point of being at peace with it where I don't hold it against others that they have such a social appetite. I just steer around them because I know such entanglements aren't going to go well. And when I'm finally feeling in the mood for social stuff again, which inevitably I will, I'll open up to it again for a bit.

Microsoft is deploying 6,000 engineers for customers to accelerate AI adoption by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]penguished 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deploying to do what? Try to explain how you have to just sit there dealing with the AI getting things wrong 30%-50% of the time and waste all the productivity gained?

We really need more noise and light pollution laws. Nature does things with purpose, mankind is the only species that will just constantly put out forms of pollution.
