Just wanted to say the exact same thing.

Projects can be treated like games too. You had some fun, learned a bunch, challenged yourself, and when there’s only uninteresting stuff left; why bother?

I fucking hate the current- and probably next-gen slop. Modern cell phone cameras rely on computational photography, since the software based solution of guessing what’s there is much easier than expanding the physical optics and sensors.

But that also leads to artifacts that are very similar to AI-generated bullshit, because both are based on a computer making guesses based on a noisy input.

I hate that I can’t tell the difference between a cell phone’s bad guess and a data center’s really good guess.

Wait, deleting a post removes alle comments?

Like in deleting them aswell?

Average guy?

Have you not heard of the president and his friends?

Well, there’s “Imagine how cool that would be, bro”.

And they are kinda right, if you imagine it a fair bit cooler than it would actually be…, bro.

Other than that, you’d have to pretty much disregard anything learned from this. And you’d have to disregard the entire issue of getting rid of heat, powering a power hungry system that’s in earths shadow half the time, maintaining a server farm that’s constantly 500-1500km away from any technician and also in a vacuum, along with managing a solar flares, 500ms of latency and bits of sand traveling at 10km/s hitting your servers - oh and your boss being on drugs half the time.

But it’s not all robot wolves!

Why is she choosing the bear over the robot wolf that makes no sense. The bear is clearly stronger!

(just in case)

Electronics are mostly solid state and are therefore virtually wear-free.

If it’s designed well, they could actually be more reliable than pushing fluids through tubes. But pushing fluids through tubes is already pretty fucking reliable.

I think the main point is to eliminate rusting brake discs from EVs, which rely largely on regenerative braking anyway. I know mine are constantly crusty; like I can always hear them scraping for the first few hundred meters of driving. Which is prolly not great.

I really liked the trend of rating notbooks for MIL-STD-810.

MIL-STD-810 itself does not require equipment manufacturers to actually perform the tests defined in it, nor does it require that anything passes those tests.

Amazing.

I use the T14s G6, running Fedora Silverblue, as my only PC. I bought it mainly for its AMD 880M iGPU, which just hits the performance I need for the few games I still play, as well as its mobility so I can blender on the go (and because I got fed up with the seemingly endless hiccups from my ASUS G14).

It’s good. No issues I know of. The display is a bit slow even for a 60Hz panel, but the battery life is stellar (probably also because of the slow panel).

However, if it’s static, as you say, I’m not sure if a small desktop PC wouldn’t be the better choice overall. After all, modern ThinkPads are pretty expensive.

I find the expectation of a 24 hour news cycle terrible. The issue is seemingly not resolved, still relevant and still actionable. And even if something is resolved, sometimes it’s still relevant, even just as a retrospective.

The whole “nothing should be older than a day” mentality feels like the news-cycle equivalent to watching subway surfer with jiggling keys while playing cookie clicker in order to listen to a podcast.

That’s when the 80:20 rule comes to rescue.

Sadly I like the mechanical ULPs. I only know of Corsair and Cherry using them.

My K7 pro liked to reset itself to factory settings (including the tacky/gamery rainbow wave animation) when I plugged it into my firewall and sometimes for no reason at all.

I’m using a Cherry ULP Mini now. It has a lot less features, which I like. Also it got the best switches I’ve ever had. Wish more keyboards used them.

I use the apostrophe whenever I’m too lazy to type the proper letter. Like:

‘’‘’’ ‘’‘’’ ‘’‘’ ‘’’ ‘’

‘’‘’’ ‘’‘’’ ‘’’ ‘’’ ‘’‘’

‘’‘’’ ‘’‘’’ ‘’’ ‘’‘’‘’ ‘’’ ‘’‘’‘’ ‘’’

Is the issue solved and doesn’t require any action anymore?

YSK: Cellulose can be made extremely durable and water resistent. The wallet I’ve been using for a decade now is made of cellulose. The stitching was kinda bad from the start, so I’ve had to repair it once. But the material itself is still holding stong. And it feels nice and is very grippy.

This just reminded me of a classmate from my teens who once said, in all seriousness, “Hitler didn’t just do bad things”.

And I replied, “Uh, yeah”. And in my mind, searching for something good he did, went like ‘he built the Autobahn’ immediately followed up with ‘well, that didn’t turn out to be the best idea either’, and by then the moment had kinda passed, and I couldn’t casually say “Well, actually […]”.

Man, politics as a teenager was wild.
