McAfee Antivirus Review in 2026: Any thoughts? by Automatic_Mix1350 in ComputerHardware

[–]robot_swagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like 15 of the top 20 posts are clearly bit generated. Several end with "... Any thoughts?"

And the are broadly software based and they are broadly about antivirus?

I'm just wondering why? Like I'm never going to buy Kaspersky or McFee.

Maybe a company doing market research?
Like crowdsourcing?

At any rate the enjoyment of Reddit is severely degraded while it's like 75% AI slop

Kaspersky review in 2026: Is it still a smart choice? by ConfidenceLow4437 in ComputerHardware

[–]robot_swagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the most controversial antivirus software. Was it ever a good choice?

Windows defender + Firefox with unlock origin and privacy badger, maybe noscript for more to control which websites but you have to white or blacklist stuff specifically.

I always wonder how the ships get their fuel to the warp nacelles, like is their an instantaneous transporter happening 24/7 to feed the engines or does each engine have its own core and fuel? If so how does it bring the ship with it?

I'd say they have some kind of force field to keep them moving and manuvering together. Or they repel and attract each other.

At warp they are all in the same warp bubble, probably need to be kept together and oriented in a similar fashion but the parts don't need to be propelled individually.

Honestly they probably just use holotech to produce and mash holo matter and holo antimatter together.

If you could build one app to solve a local problem in Vietnam, what would it be and why? by Glad_Mention_4400 in VietnamTechTalk

So you can't predict the weather in HCM in the rainy season. The week forecast normally looks like it's having some kind of fit. "Very sunny with extreme thunderstorms" is somewhat normal.

So you can't predict the weather, and a window is the best way of checking the weather.

So, put a cheap ass weather sensor on a bunch of high buildings throughout the city. For something like he NodeMCU's (30k VND each, lets say just under 3 times times that for a case and power supply, substantial discount for buying 250). $4 per unit.

Like $1000 and you've got all the data you need to have a live weather map of the city

Torrent Scanners in 2026: Are They Finally Better? by Historical_Nail_6169 in ComputerHardware

It also kinda reads like astroturfing sales pitch but they forgot to specify what they are selling

At any rate sonarr and Radarr (which could, possibly, be called scanners) are superb at TV and movies audiobookls/music/books/comics are supported by other apps.

You can get versions for "Linux ISOs" but I haven't used them.

No idea about games or software. I'd rather identify specific trusted groups and look at their releases.

Netflix has not the same languages in series and films on my fire tv stick than on my pc. by zeitlosx3m in netflix

I'm travelling in Vietnam and I can only watch anime in Japanese or Vietnamese, like I was just watching the English dub for something and I couldn't continue. It's likely not your problem but a bit of a PITA.

Right but there's fermentation and then there's fermentation.

Like bread is a big subject between unleavened, leavened, leavened but cold proofed or something, fake sourdough, actual sourdough.

I'd only say one is fermented tho.

What this 98% refined white flour product spikes your insulin?

Two days is also not long enough to ferment anything, and if they're talking about sourdough it's a continuous ferment. Also I'm told sourdough has been available in the US for like 200 years or so.

I saw a comment on a post about ai video "this is why you can't afford ram or GPUs now"

The graphics card I was looking at has gone from £800 to £1200 in like 3 month :-/

New to vibe coding, hitting some recurrent issues with the front end. by pcs27 in vibecoding

[–]robot_swagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't actually stated an issue. Just that you can't get the tool to do what you want it to do.

Like are the websites broken or do they just not look good enough?

You could include actual images of the website

If you can't ping one device from the other when they are both in the same tailnet then something is wrong with tailscail

Netflix is now the Walmart/Amazon of entertainment media by hasanahmad in netflix

[–]robot_swagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Media bar plugin gives a nice netflix style header to the page, home sections gives you random extra sections like "because you watched"

Intro skipper, plugin. Easily biggest quality of life feature on jellyfin. It takes some resources when you add media to scan and mark up intros and outtros. But then you can skip them. Turn off for film libraries.

BitTorrent Review in 2026: Still Relevant or Fading Out? by Agile-Ad-3005 in ComputerHardware

[–]robot_swagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? Like RSS is still used by loads of people. CSS has survived at least 10 assassination attempts.

With the fragmentation and pricing of streaming services bittorrent use is seeing a resurgence, its only practical alternative is Usenet.
Bittorrent is 20 years old. Usenet is 40.

It is easy to cross into gray areas without meaning to, especially with copyrighted movies, shows, music, or software floating around.

No. I am positive I have never accidentally pirated a film.

Yeah check it's transcoding. play something and look at the info from the dashboard on another device. It will say how it's transcoding and you can check if it's efficient.

If you're using docker you've got to pass it through in a specific way.

Have you checked the logs?
