Ditto. 7800X3D is a beast for games and I don’t give half a shit about productivity performance on my gaming machine. I got mine for around $350 early this year and I’m absolutely floored that it’s now over $400. That’s not the direction things are supposed to go.

I think we may be in the last generations of x86’s desktop and laptop dominance. All phones and now all Macs run on ARM-based chips and they do just fine while sipping watts, compared to x86’s two big proponents both having faltering launches on their latest generations with ever higher TDPs where you only get more processing power by using more electrical power.

Fantastic choices. Outer Wilds for me.

It’s hard to believe that it would have taken 25 years for the many SD card builders out there to figure out that a heat spreader could solve the degradation problems.

I feel like dealing with SD cards’ inevitable demise is more important than armoring them. What good is a stainless SD card that no longer functions after 2 years of use?

Do you think a cat could eat it?

1: She’s a woman of color so she has to be 75% better than average for anyone to pay attention.

2: Executed moral standards are more important to the left than the right. Declared moral standards are more important to the right.

Women are hiring for a car battery.

I don’t speak French, but I did translate “cat, I farted” into French on Google Translate and had it dictate the result. It sounds a good deal like ChatGPT, especially if you’re primed to listen for it.

EDIT: Or at least it used to. Now, if you translate “cat, I farted” it gives you “Cat, j’ai pété” and pronounces the C as a hard C, like it reads. Maybe it’s deciding that “cat” on its own is the name “Cat,” and thus not in need of translation. If you give it different context you get the expected result, as with translating “I had to tell the cat, I farted” you get back “J’ai dû dire au chat, j’ai pété,” which when pronounced the last bit sounds as expected.

They subscribe to the theory that less forward acceleration is the same thing as slowing down.

Just write a script that runs periodically to check the log’s size and delete when its near the crash threahold.

This is genius but too high effort. You may sit on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of shitost.

Red Bilk is the best.

Human beings are subject to the laws of physics. If you eat more calories than you consume and do not otherwise eliminate from the body, they will still be in the body. The body stores them as fat. This is simply the mechanics of biology. If it weren’t, things like Ozempic would not spur massive weight loss.

We have more obese people now than have ever existed. Countries that do not have US/Mexico levels of easy access to heavily processed, calorie-dense foods do not have obesity problems like we have. Clearly, calling people names and making them feel bad is not a good way to get them to adopt healthier habits. However, there are plain, uncomplicated things that people can do to lose weight that will work, but they will ONLY work if the people want to change, are honest with themselves and truly stick to the changes they need to make.

Losing weight is absolutely within reach of 99% of obese people, but comments like this reinforce the absolutely incorrect notion that getting healthy is some big mystery that’s for a different class of people to solve. It’s defeatist and makes it seem like a problem that a person can’t solve on their own, which is straight up wrong.

The plain, uncomplicated things you can do? Find out how many calories a body of the weight you want to weigh uses in a day. Limit yourself to those calories. Given time, you will be that weight if and only if you stick to the plan. It may shock some people how many calories they actually consume in a day, especially if they drink soda or juice with any regularity.

I’d be careful asking people if they’re stupid and speculating that they’re clueless when you are apparently unwilling to producing a link to the data you quote.

Standardized interchangeable batteries would be neat. Pull into a battery station, a machine swaps out your packs and you’re on your way faster than a fill-up.

You’re so close, now just give me a link to the data that you are citing.

And then it will still be an annoying, stupid way to advertise.

I would accuse you of low-effort posting but

Bruh I just want you to supply the data you claim to be citing. It’s super easy and standard practice. It is not my job to research the point I think you are making.

Or, you could simply say you don’t have data to back up what you said. Either works and neither is as embarrassing as coming back to this well over and over while entirely missing that I just want to see your data.

Most insect species can have wings, but the majority of ants and termites do not have them. The word “all” gets tricky here.

Hey, look who it is, the person who keeps replying without linking the mountains of data they’re referencing.
