  • their mobile app isn’t even their own base code. they bought out Alien Blue, which was one of the earliest and arguably best mobile apps for Reddit, and relaunched it as their own. all they had to do was not fuck that one up and they would have straight up driven the other popup 3rd party apps out of business by just being good and official. but of course, reddit must always rise to their incompetence.




  • That depends entirely on how profitable it is and how much they can get authors onboard.

    A. Anything can be profitable when the cost to generation will be counted in singles of dollars instead of multiple thousands for a good narrator. They don’t even have to sell many to turn a profit too.

    B. You think authors are going to have a choice? Lmfao. It’s the publishers that hold any real power and they will jump all over everyone’s IP with AI slop to make an extra three cents.


  • Adapter or caddy is fine. Can get them on most shopping sites for cheap.

    IIRC from my old office PC slinging days, a lot of those cases with 5-1/4 bays usually had slots for mounting screws that would allow you to mount a 3.5 drive flush to one sideusijg 2 screws. Then you get a 1-3/4" 6-32 screw stand off, thread it into the drive, and use that to mount it to the other side of the 5-1/4 bay.

    Did that a lot to really old reused cases where there were a ton of 5-1/4 bays but only one 3.5 bay.














  • The point is not that it is being used, the point is that corporations must protect their trademarks or else they may lose the exclusive rights to them. Intel also still uses the “Core” branding on their modern CPU’s so it wouldn’t be a stretch for them to try and continue legally protecting “Core 2 Duo” under the guise of retaining the “Core” part of their trademarks.
