It’s honestly amazing that we got quite some low-energy gear nowadays.
I hope more hardware will get properly power-optimized. There’s no good reason your desktop should suck 600w out of the mains when -20% performance can convert to like -80-90% power draw, like it is in the laptops.
Some places do!
Still, if you don’t, yeah, you can just count it as heating.
So far so good, I have a second!
Lol, I bought used DDR4 SODIMM for $190
It’s still perfectly good! In fact, some folks go as far as making DDR3 systems nowadays.
Good, I just bought 32gb of RAM yesterday. Sorry, Sam!

One thing US is brilliant at is shaking off responsibility for literally all crimes against humanity
And interested people drive the culture in this direction. They separate us, shove us algorithms and influence public opinion to make this insanity look normal.
It is culture, sure. The culture manufactured to serve the interest of the few. But us talking here is culture, too. And that’s why we share opinions in the first place. We can drive the culture against those who use it to exploit us.
Me when I got my commercial NAS with 7 years of support, I was thinking: “who even keeps hardware for this long?”
Me, 7 years later: “What do you mean EOL?!”
I certainly learned to care for and appreciate the hardware these years.
systemd has me in two places. Like, on one side, it’s just SO much better and easier than the rest - at least to me, someone who doesn’t work in IT and just wants his stuff to work. On the other, init freedom is essential, and we need the alternatives to stay alive.
The law is, first and foremost, a way to keep shitty people at bay. It’s still people who are the problem, but since we can’t just agree to all be kind to each other, we have to invent ways to either sanction or use violence (note: that includes police) against those who make things worse for everyone else. We need laws, but they are incomplete solutions, not source of the problem. And sometimes they can be weaponized exactly by the individuals we’d rather put the law against.
The blame here is on all bosses who can afford to pay their workers decent wages, but don’t. And - personal opinion incoming - if your small business can’t employ people for decent wages, it’s already financially unsustainable, you just put it on the shoulder of your workers and add insult to injury by trying to also take something for yourself. Should the state do more to support small businesses, to make sure they can pay good wages and be sustainable at the same time? Yes. Is being a small business an excuse to abuse workers? No.
That’s why there are things like minimum wages. Businesses must respond to their workers.
USA does not have jurisdiction over Finland, just sayin’
Will only get worse from there, if no action will be taken now.
I really hope Finns will find organizers to stand up.
People’s wellbeing must be the end goal, not a demand-driven commodity. That’s what I would identify as a key issue here.
You seem to miss the overall point of the picture.
It is bosses, not immigrants, who drive down wages. And boy they have plenty to spare a lot of the time.
They’d just rather have you focused on immigrants instead of the actual people who exploit desperation of migrants and remove any of their worker protections to make this possible
The point is, who drives down wages? They don’t fall down automatically.
(Spoiler: it’s your boss, he’s the problem)
The point is, your boss could pay everyone, including them, as much as he always did, and more.
He specifically chooses to exploit this desperation and pay less, because the difference adds to his bottom line.
The anti-immigrant talks shift the blame from those who intentionally pay less to those who has to choose between a bad deal and starvation.
Elected officials won’t do anything about it until you force them to. And immigrants are your allies in this - they too are a workforce who needs better wages. Your interests are aligned.
In the land of the free they would lick the boot and do nothing
Basically, wait and see
If Dems actually get into action and go full Mamdani - exciting and inspiring, finally a massive hit to the authoritarian evil.
If they keep on giving up every bit of ground - not so much.
