I have two of them, and I think they are great. That being said, they are significantly more expensive than similar options from Dell (or Lenovo, HP, etc.) They just don’t have the volume of production needed to compete.

MAYBE you’ll end up ahead with upgradability or repairability, but honestly, you’re paying more to support good company practices.

I’m planning on keeping these laptops for a long time and upgrading when I need to, but we have to be realistic that most people aren’t going to stomach a minimum of 30% premium for options they don’t care about.

Numbers 5:11-22

If your wife is unfaithful, she should go to the priest and get a concoction to abort the pregnancy conceived with another man.

This is correct, but it’s also, it’s only 100% of the heat at that point in the circuit.

Technically, using natural gas to make electricity, then sending that electricity to an electric heater would be less efficient than burning that natural gas for heat at the source.

So it depends on where you start counting from.

How do you know a commenter is over 40? This one right here.

Bone conducting headphones already exist

Which is KIND OF ok unless someone looks at a password breech list and figures out your super simple pattern. And I’m sure the rise of AI being used in password breech attacks will just make it more automated.

Real, true, random passwords/tokens is really the only way to actually be safe. Which means you have to use a password generator, AND something to save the password.

Then one password breech and your password everywhere is exposed to the world. That’s bad advice.

There’s no way for the average person to keep up with remembering unique, strong passwords for all the sites that require them.

You either have to write it down, save it in a password manager, reuse passwords, or have simplified passwords or patterns.

Alicia Masters, The Thing’s girlfriend, is also blind, so they’d make a good thruple.

Networked cameras used for security should have local storage to buffer when the network isn’t available, regardless of if you’re using wired or wireless.

Nailed it right here. West was a perfectly good Batman for his time, but Keaton is fantastic and aged well. No one else comes close.

The intent of the proverb isn’t that bad people don’t get good things, it’s that a person who is cheating doesn’t get value out of the activity.

If you go through life cutting corners, you don’t actually get to learn and build a strong foundation.

You can still be rewarded with jobs, money, and sycophants, but that’s not what really matters.

If you exit out and then start the show again, it skips the pre-roll. It’s annoying, but slightly faster than waiting and watching the 30 second pre-roll.

They advertise as extra $ for ad free, but then they put ads in it. That’s dishonest.

What I have to do whenever I watch a show is start the show, get the pre-roll, exit out, then start the show again. It’s annoying and a stupid hoop to jump through just to not have to watch the same pre-roll over and over.

Before people jump in here to talk about how battery technology never comes to market… Every single one of these discoveries teaches us something new, sometimes it reveals tech that’s unsustainable, sometimes it’s un-manufacturable, but it always gives us another direction to look for things.

Tech goes relatively slowly from lab results to store shelves, so stuff you read about 10-20 years ago are what are in your devices today. This could very easily be the way that your phone runs in 2035.

This could be as game changing as lithium ion was back in the early 2000’s, or it could go the way of most lab results. We won’t know until we keep poking at it and figuring out what it is useful for.

Tung Oil finish is mostly just poly anyway, unless you go out of your way to specifically get pure tung oil.

Or fucking use telegram or Whatsapp. Anything except the official equipment.

What in the world is this supposed to mean?

It was extremely close to collapse after over 800 years. They had time, just not an unlimited amount of it. People with a lifetime of experience and education knew how to work through the issue, and had a good idea of how long they had.

They closed the area off, did some tests, and worked slowly because some of their ideas made the problem worse. You don’t want to rush solutions on completely unique problems, with completely unique artifacts.

Imagine if your connection history got leaked by this.
