If there’s a real world screen showing a real world ad to you, you’ve got to be really careful not to lean against the screen with a broken spark plug or some other sort of ceramic shard, because you could easily shatter the screen and make it really hard for you and other people to be advertised to 👉👈🥺

That is some big dick energy ngl

I don’t fucking care.

They’re gonna have the day they voted for. I am completely out of any fucking sympathy for idiots who vote against their own interests and well being. Entirely fucking done.

No it’s not.

Still got an old Panasonic plasma from 2010 and it’s going strong.

But I am aware of the “wonders” of post-purchase monetization, which is how they’re printing out so many of these cutting edge OLED big screens for surprisingly low initial purchase prices

Some loops of copper and a LOT of current

Says someone who’s never melted a hard drive :D

It’s honestly easier to just disassemble them and then hack the platters up, if you’re really that paranoid. Or just melt it down with an inductive heater.

Now that’s a username I can trust.

Specifically? Who knows, but the concept has already been tested by someone, and afaik, they have still not figured out who did it.

Mmmm I am a childless man, and I live by myself, and I am 100% cool with that, and feel fine. But to be fair, I’ve got a pretty good circle of friends, and a really strong core friend group.

I would legitimately take Camacho over orangeboi. Camacho at the very least pointedly consults an expert.

it’s m[or[ule]]bin’ time

They’re slow, but they’re WAY more robust than most SSDs - and in terms of $/TB, it’s not even close. Especially if you’re comparing to SLC enterprise-grade.

I mean personally, for long term data hoarding, I dislike running anything below raidz2, and imo anything less than 5 disks in that setup is just silly and inefficient in terms of cost/benefit. So I currently have 5x16TB in raidz2. The 60% capacity efficiency kinda blows, but also I didn’t want to spend any more on rust than I did at the time, and the array is still working great, so whatever. For me, that was a reasonable balance between power draw, disk count, cost, and capacity.

Ok, I’m sorry, but… HOW??? How is it possibly two hundred fucking gigabytes??? What the fuck is taking up so much space???

Imagine how long it’ll take to rebuild your raid array after one fails lol

I have a goddamn bulletproof T14 with 32gb ram and a 5850X. It’s a beast of a dev laptop.

I just got a M4 air, base spec +32g ram. I also do homelab things. It’s effectively a thin client, and it’s beautiful for that. I charge it once every couple of weeks. And as an ARM platform, the cpu is honestly very good, and the emulation layers you get with Rosetta 2 are kind of just… magic as a result of how good they work for almost everything. And yes there are gotchas. And places that doesn’t work. But honestly - and I know this makes me sound like an Apple fanboi - Apple absolutely perfected the form factor for a high-endurance, high efficiency ultraportable here, imo. The battery life is genuinely batshit crazy. And yes it is expensive.

Side note: they’re forcing you to BYO? Any chance you are able to get a dedicated work device?

If I found out I was being interviewed by an LLM, I would hang up the phone.
