One step closer to Le Chaton Fat.

Soon they’ll just sell you markdown.

> The mechanism is standard adtech. What has no precedent is running it on an AI chat product.

Doesn’t Gemini or whatever Meta’s agent is do this too?

New comment by DevKoala in "Xbox goes down. You can't play games you own on disc"

DevKoala — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 17:27:38 +0000

I am so glad i jumped out of the Xbox ecosystem back when I did.

I was such a loyal fan, but the Xbox One made me go from an avid gamer to a casual gamer.

I thought I was done with gaming until I picked up a Nintendo Switch back in 2018 and I rediscovered the joy.

I gave Xbox one more chance with the Series X and that was the final nail in the coffin.

I only play on Switch 2 and Steam OS nowadays.

Only care that an article is informative, grounded in facts, unbiased, etc. How it was composed doesn’t matter to me.

DevKoala — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 18:53:14 +0000

Not sure if the Cloudflare CEO is lying, but I have a pixel deployed on tens of thousands of sites offering B2B solutions, and bot traffic overtook human traffic this year.

New comment by DevKoala in "Microsoft reports AI is more expensive than paying human employees"

DevKoala — Sat, 23 May 2026 05:14:18 +0000

Microsoft cancelled Claude because they need to dog food Copilot since it sucks. This was acknowledged internally and it’s not a secret.

It is probably more expensive for Microsoft now since the Anthropic tokens were subsidized.

These are great points and I was truly unaware of these concerns.

Private cameras make the bulk of your stat and they do help in deter crime on personal property.

What is the crime volume if these cameras are gone?

Tell me the area. And, we can break down the factors.

I am bringing up a City I’ve lived in, problems I’ve endured, and solutions I’ve seen work.

By my parents house in Vallejo there is one of these cameras near a 7/11. They can finally walk there.

New comment by DevKoala in "Linux gaming is faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel features"

DevKoala — Thu, 14 May 2026 00:30:00 +0000

Quite the contrary. I care about the OS and that’s why I switched to Linux gaming. The experience wrapping the game is just so much better.

New comment by DevKoala in "Claude.ai down"

DevKoala — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:55:56 +0000

Most of their customers only use the CLI or API.

I use Anthropic for 90% of my GenAI needs, software development, but I have never used Claude.ai for anything other than auth.

That sounds so gross. Why do British people tolerate that? It’s as if British people belong to their government.

New comment by DevKoala in "WebMCP Proposal"

DevKoala — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:12:34 +0000

But think about it. Will you do it for your web property? Is someone else going to do it for my web property when I have clearly blocked robots? Will I do it for another web property for my agent to work and hope they don’t update their design or protect themselves against it?

Most teams that want their data to be operated programmatically expose an API. For who does this solve a problem?

I have been using Rectangle and Spectacle before it. Wanting to resize windows like in this article isn't natural to me anymore.

Good callout. However, nothing says Nvidia would adopt this margin tactic either.
