nirav72··on We Think the SpaceX IPO Is Overvalued
>I have to wonder if Elon has spent too much social capital for this kind of cult of meme stock strategy to work again.

If social capital was an indicator , then Tesla stock would've cratered 2 years ago. Despite demand for tesla vehicles dropping. I don't think social capital matters these days.

nirav72··on Restore full BambuNetwork support for Bambu Lab printers
Bambuddy and tailscale was my solution to losing access to mobile app once I went lan-only. Has video stream ,monitoring and control. Plus home assistant integration via MQTT. Only thing I’m missing is the ‘AI’ spaghetti monitoring. But those are rare for me.
nirav72··on Louis Rossmann offers to pay legal fees for a threatened OrcaSlicer developer
I'm running my P2S in LAN mode. But I also blocked it on my router from connecting outward. Sure I can no longer use the mobile app. But BamBuddy solved that for me. It has a web UI that is mobile browser friendly.
nirav72··on Richard Dawkins concludes AI is conscious, even if it doesn't know it
Not just stateless, but also lack agency. An LLM or agent isn’t just going to wake up and suddenly decide it wants to perform a certain action or task without prior instructions.
nirav72··on 245TB Micron 6600 ION Data Center SSD Now Shipping
Last fall I bought a 4tb Samsung 990 pro drive for $260. Now it retails between $800-900.
nirav72··on UAE to leave OPEC
Even if PLAN ships aren’t as capable or matching the U.S, it doesn’t really matter. They just have to be there. The U.S is not going to risk an escalation with China.
nirav72··on Intel Arc Pro B70 Review
The B50 certainly does. So Likely same for B70.

nirav72··on Website streamed live directly from a model
This is incredible. I uploaded a diagram of a hydroponics system I found somewhere. It generated additional high-quality diagrams of specific parts of the system. Including the plumbing , nutrient delivery and electrical wiring. It's not entirely accurate. But I still like the concept. Great work.
nirav72··on PM Carney declares U.S. ties now a 'weakness' in address to Canadians
>Nuclear weaponry is offensive in nature

It's also a deterrence.

nirav72··on Using a USB switch as a full KVM
I just use a usb switch to switch keyboard and mouse. For display input switching , I bought couple of dell ips monitors that allow switching via keyboard hot keys.
nirav72··on YouTube now lets you turn off Shorts
I don’t mind shorts. Especially when I have a few minutes to kill or just want something playing on a side Monitor. Just wish it would auto scroll to the next one without requiring an extension.
nirav72··on This year’s insane timeline of hacks
Not too long ago, a few gigabytes of data being stolen was a big friggin deal. Now they're swiping data in the terabytes or even petabytes.
nirav72··on Lunar Flyby
thanks, that's probably the best animation I've seen explaining a tidal locked moon.
nirav72··on Lunar Flyby
That one pic with Solar eclipse is amazing. Especially with the visible stars in the background. it's rare to see a pic from a man missioned with stars being visible in the background.
nirav72··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Nope. Maybe a cheeseburger and mother nature.
nirav72··on They can fly 200 miles with no fuel - Tom Scott [video]
Glad to see Tom Scott back on youtube.
nirav72··on ESP32-S31: Dual-Core RISC-V SoC with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and Advanced HMI
Argh…Wifi 6 , but 2.4ghz.
nirav72··on Live: Artemis II Launch Day Updates
Do you honestly believe that by repurposing money from missions like these would suddenly free up money for text books? That’s not how it works. Especially not in 2026.
nirav72··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
Many said the same thing during the G.W Bush years. Nothing happened.
nirav72··on Closure of Hormuz is 'greatest global energy security threat in history'
North Korea executes its own citizens and anyone that speaks out against the Kim regime. It also has nukes and even occasionally even fires missiles over our allys. I can name a few other countries that have harshly responded against protestors in recent years. Why aren’t we attacking them? Trump vowed that the U.S will no longer be the world police. Using your rational , this is the U.S being the police. Disclaimer - I voted for Trump believing what he said about staying out of conflicts like these. I’ve come to the realization that I made a mistake.
nirav72··on Warranty Void If Regenerated
Thanks for sharing. This was an amazing read. I’d love to see novels with similar style stories about speculative near future tech and world.
nirav72··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
>Just let me use my own keyboard/mouse

Isn't that already possible if you plugin a keyboard/mouse via a USB-C dongle/hub?

nirav72··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
Yeah, I think that's a assumption Apple made that most AppleTV devices would be in the same household where people can simply use the streaming app's ability to switch profiles. That sucks if you have roommates that pay for their own streaming subscriptions or the AppleTV device is in a common area such a dormitory. I suppose they could solve this by allowing ad-hoc profiles if AppleTV and user's IOS device is on the same network.
nirav72··on I built a pint-sized Macintosh
Nowadays its possible to just 3d print the case. They even sell PLA filament to match color.

nirav72··on Show HN: A real-time strategy game that AI agents can play
I’d love to see something like this in games like Beyond All Reasons.
nirav72··on Discord/Twitch/Snapchat age verification bypass
That worked for me. Got a response on desktop discord client once it was done. Wonder how long before they lock this down.
nirav72··on Everything – Locate files and folders by name instantly
Windows file search has been useless as far back as I can remember. Especially file indexing and the load it puts on the CPU. I usually just disable file indexing on a new windows install.
nirav72··on Hackers (1995) Animated Experience
The 1990s depiction of a filesystems in movies like Hacker or Disclosure was just weird. Then you had products like Microsoft Bob.
nirav72··on Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization” (2025) [video]
>GenX? Yeah, it's not just the Boomers despite the memes.

No its not. This is pure ageism on your part. You either don't know much about GenX or are just making it up. Both generations are vastly different. GenX being the smallest generation has very little influence on the economy , politics or culture.

nirav72··on ICE protester says her Global Entry was revoked after agent scanned her face
My son, an 18 year college student with no legal issues ever (except a speeding ticket) - had his Global Entry revoked last year. For no apparent reason. We filed an appeal and are waiting for a response. From everything I've read on it, it seems it could take upwards of 18 months to get a response. But per the article you linked, it seems that less than half are able to get it reinstated. So I'm not really hopeful.
