Still never a reason to carelessly step on cables, toss/shove the computer instead of set it down, etc.
Thanks errer

& Am*zon a lot less 😉 ahahaha, C3’s such a good history tool. After using it one may consider heading on over to eBay to have a chance at concentrating less power in that other company. (Recommend paying with credit card, reformatting machine, double checking all specs)
You’re welcome!!
, and I cannot stress this enough, yes.

You can find some threads on intermittent Wi-Fi issues where people create a little shortcut to toggle Wi-Fi or toggle Bluetooth or something, so I think the hardware is imperfect, but it is really ridiculous:
Full screen eight 4K YouTube videos and swipe across all the spaces in a blink or two. Run local language models (e.g. Gemma on LM Studio) in the privacy of your own lap. Render some meme videos or clips of the kids in seconds.
You still wait for stuff. The computer has to turn on. The web browser has to load. You’re buying a ton of power that comes in when billions of parameters are involved but for some simple day-to-day stuff you’re going to experience it on the snappy side of regular speeds.
So overall, that pricing graph is great, isn’t it? What a steal. So nice of them to pay for that depreciation while hopefully not put too much stress on the machine. Hope there’s a nice private seller with a similar rate somewhere.
PS: battery life? It’s got a battery! 😉 idk, 6hr if you’re not optimizing too hard or going to hard in the other direction… can’t be quoted on that figure but it’s not a lightweight use all day in the woods machine, it’s a desktop experience anywhere (esp. where you have a power outlet)
So they are now totally disabling copying phone numbers, I discovered today (maybe on Google Search)
That should queue them up quite nicely to follow in Yelp's footsteps!
Yelp waits for a new business to receive a bunch of phone calls. Then they call the business owner and congratulate them on the 300 calls or however many customers made by tapping the phone number on Yelp. Then comes the extortion. Allegedly, that last part, according to a college professor. Who surely just had it out for Yelp which is why he would make that up 😉
heh, actually corroborated by Billion Dollar Bully (documentary). Need all the bullies we can get, good luck Google!
Edit: either pay Yelp for advertising or get deranked, is the deal
They’ll get right on the advocacy after hanging up when they hear “fuck you“ 😉
LOL


👏
Not even in an interesting or corrupt way. "Our engineers think it would be better to do it this way, any objections?" And then everyone talks about it.
And this was the mental roadblock I hit trying to imagine a world without lobbyists.
As if we could ignore every voice with some connection to a profit motive (ignoring thousands of experts), etc
Well said!
Was there ever any merit to that claim that you could post elaborate plots on some subr*dt and make it harder for movie studios to make those exact films?
Potentially volatile right, since who knows if/when various stablecoins might depeg

Thanks

Ever experienced the beauty of Lemmy automagically refreshing when a new comment is posted?
It just came to mind how many duplicative comments that feature has prevented.
Thanks for this small quality of life boost, and since it might be my only post like this for a while, thank you to all those making this place work 🙇♂️ you’re either bringing your IQ or EQ here (or more likely both), keep it up!

Dying boy, 15, gets wish: losing virginity

“Dying boy, 15, gets wish: losing virginity Chicago Sun Times ^ | 12/23/01 | BY BENJAMIN ERRETT Posted on 12/23/2001, 6:26:24 AM by Mopp4
A terminally ill boy had his dying wish granted in Australia this month, but ethicists are still at odds over whether it was the right thing to do. The wish was not for a trip to Disneyland or to meet a famous sports star. Instead, the 15-year-old wanted to lose his virginity before he died of cancer. The boy, who remains anonymous but was called Jack by the Australian media, did not want his parents to know about his request. Because of his many years spent in the hospital, he had no girlfriend or female friends. Jack died last week, but not before having his last wish granted. Without the knowledge of his parents or hospital staff, friends arranged an encounter with a prostitute outside of hospital premises. All precautions were taken, and the organizers made sure the act was fully consensual. The

2024 Election Poll Aggregators, Aggregated (August 6, 2024) - Harris vs. Trump


Ex-president stated he was invited to National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference "under false pretense". Can anyone find a follow up to his claim that Harris was to attend?


It’s claimed (Axios) the interview started late due to a dispute over fact checking, but I can’t find any source for the false pretense allegation.

MKBHD worst reviewed AI boogaloo rule

Screenshot of YouTube video (paused at 1:28) showing a young woman in pigtails, dressed in a yellow top with a wide neckline and blue jeans, sits cross-legged atop a cooler on a rooftop, with other rooftops visible in the distance. She wears a red pendant with a glowing white light at its center and is smiling at a young man opposite her. The man is wearing an open blue button-down shirt and green pants, gazing downwards with a slight smile.
A compilation of selected comments trashing the microphone-enabled pendant follows, reading:
amazing. at 1:28 you can see the guy decide there won't be any further dates
The creepy music is doing the exact opposite of what you want this ad to do. You want this to be a normal thing that isn't weird at all and your music says "black mirror".
The day you call a listening device "Friend" is the day you lose your humanity
