Congrats! :yes:

Likes are quite a strange system, as certain types of posts attract them considerably more than others. For instance, most of my likes comes from political / opinion posts and from sharing pictures in the Random Pictures Thread. Over the past couple of years I've managed to rack up 2,851 likes, which still pales in comparison to someone like Rappy. :cry:

Congrats V-Tech!

I don't think the likes feature has been implemented for 8 years though :/

The likes feature has been around since January 2010, after the forum upgrade which caused the forum go down for a couple of days. There have been a couple of periods where the likes feature has been disabled.

The Random Pictures Thread is an easy way to get likes. :p When the likes feature was first implemented it was only used in the technical forums. I'm not sure whether it was decided to be used in all forums, or whether it changed as a result of an upgrade and wasn't changed back.

I think it would be better if it would go back to what it used to be. Allowing to "like" something only in technical/news forums.

Would make the "likes" more special....

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      By Chugworth · Posted

      I'd basically agree. The only point I would add is to be careful not to treat science as a religion, complete with priests, dogma, and blasphemy. Humans are highly susceptible to religious-oriented ways of thinking since it aids in forming communities of like-minded people. The problem is that when this happens, nobody wants to be ostracized from the group by saying that a deeply-held idea is wrong. Science and "peer review" are not immune to this behavior, unfortunately. In the end, finding truth is our own responsibility and we can't depend on others to hand it to us. Skepticism is key, along with curiosity and the willingness to critically evaluate and consider ideas both new and old.
