I mean, what’s the problem with attached bottle caps? They’re pretty cool, and they don’t really get in the way.

Didn’t even see that one. Probably just a missclick.

The fact that X86 came after a full stop so his phone auto capitalised it.

Had a period here where it was like 4 on average, now it’s usually 1-2, trying to make it midnight or 23, but that hasn’t happened in like 5 years probably so doubt.

Honestly, the worst part of the AI craze is that so many people hear AI now and immediately hate it even though it can really do some amazing stuff, e.g. in medicine. AI as a blanket term just has so much variance, there’s a ton of trash and a ton of great stuff.

Well I personally need my laptop for collage as well. And it comes in handy if it has a powerful GPU if I need to do anything more intensive on it (e.g. machine learning or game dev). Steam Deck wouldn’t really be adequate there. And even if it wasn’t for my usecase (which isn’t representative of every student), most students will probably still need a laptop to bring with themselves sometimes to collage, and if they also want to game, makes sense to buy a gaming laptop instead of a gaming PC + a regular laptop.

When I get a job and settle down, I definitely plan on getting a PC. It just has so much more bang for the buck, and you can actually use the entire performance. My laptop basically overheats immediately if there’s an intense load on it, even though it has the raw power to actually run it. But the reality is that currently, as a student, a gaming laptop is a lot more practical to me.

For students a gaming laptop makes a bunch of sense, since taking a PC with you back an forth every time you go back home can be a major hassle.

To add to that, apart from the Apple cloud processing, data can be sent to OpenAI if a prompt is deemed too complex, but even then you’re asked whether or not you want it to talk to OpenAI’s servers each time, and apparently OpenAI isn’t allowed to store any of that data, tho idk how much I’d trust that part.

They also claim that whenever data is sent off device, only the data directly relevant to the prompt is sent.

I just… I… what goes through this man’s head? Why is literally every sentence he spews completed bullshit? And why do so many people fall for it?

Literally the only American politician with any integrity who stands by his beliefs and ofc he never wins an election. This is why we can’t have nice things, because apparently feeding homeless people is communism but subsidising dying fossil fuel industries is patriotism.

Man idk if that’s actually better. Most airlines are barely profitable as is, this just means the cost will get spread out to all customers instead of only the ones paying premiums. It does feel shitty to be nickel and dimed for every little thing, but I’m not sure if this is better.

Where did this happen (i.e. which country)?

It’s not hard for me to cry because of a TV show, but for personal reasons I probably haven’t cried in 4 years at least, probably more but idk.

Linus explored that bug, it’s not so much with recent laptops as it is with Windows sleep in general. For some god forsaken reason, if your laptop is connected to a network while plugged in and you put it to sleep, and then unplug your laptop from the power, it will burn through its battery and die. This doesn’t happen if you unplug your laptop before you put it into sleep mode. My guess is that while it’s plugged in, Windows thinks it’s fine for it to run a bit hotter, but when you unplug it while it’s in sleep mode, it doesn’t realise it’s not plugged in anymore and drains the battery. Idk how they have still not fixed this after many years, but it is still a problem.

Of all the things to bash on Apple for, this is probably the stupidest.

One of the few things Apple objectively does better is software support for older phones. They give way longer support than 90% of Android phones.

I feel like it’s necessary for some countries, e.g. Finland. Nobody in their right mind would ever want to invade finland given how strong their military is. You just can’t achieve that without conscription.

My last two brain cells dying after seeing half of the comments saying that deflation is actually good.

This person is either cursed or idk what they were trying to do. Installing Windows literally couldn’t be easier, you don’t even need to think about partitions, you can just let it create them itself.

I reinstall Windows every cca. 6 months to clear all the bloat i pick up, it’s really not that hard.

This is a non-argument. The fact the website is shit has nothing to do with the fact that ads are the payment method. If you don’t like the site, don’t use it. Nobody is forcing you.

If you saw a product in the store that costs double another equal product, would you go scream at the manager that this is outrageous? Or would you just buy the cheaper one and let the more expensive one go out of business.

Yes, an ad blocker would make the site more usable, but so would just taking the product without paying.
