I believe you.

How many of those are getting continuously updated to the latest mainline kernel though?

Super silly take. Those aren’t stories, they’re themes. Very vague, general themes.

You underestimate big tech. Judging by the headache inducing track record of AV technology, this would end up as yet another garbled mess of eleventeen different competing codecs with bad implementations, inconsistent specifications, misleading marketing, horrible licensing, and predatory DRM.

I’ve always wondered what drives people to such confessions. Not a killing of course, but I once met a dude and like 20 minutes later he was telling me about the literal scams he pulls. Shit like stealing old people’s passwords and whatnot to buy things for himself online. Very unambiguously illegal stuff. There was no context either, no lead up to that conversation. He just pulled the subject to that out of nowhere and started spilling the beans. One minute we were talking about wearing thinner gloves inside thicker gloves to keep our hands extra warm, and the next minute he was telling me how he tricks old people into submitting their email credentials into fake forms that he makes.

Except when the train is operated by Deutsche Bahn. Then you wish you were walking from Düsseldorf to Munich.

I once read a review of a sous vide machine that just would not work unless it was connected to a smartphone via an app. And then that app would not work properly without a connection to some backend. That backend died at some point, bricking the sous vide machine. What a wonderful world we live in.

That was said by one random, rather insignificant Microsoft employee who had no capacity to make such a claim. Not in a position to even have that kind of information on the company’s future plans.

And even if they did have the capacity, if you actually go look at what really was said, it’s reasonably clear that they wanted to say latest version but fucked up the sentence. I hate defending Microsoft but that thing has become a meme at this point.

A lot of people. They’re served very commonly with coffee. Very rarely red, though. Mostly they’re small white cubes with either pistachios or hazelnuts in them.

The tube looking ones are a more fancier type. I would not say they’re more common than the cubes, though. The “nobody buys those cubes” thing is an absolutely wild statement, honestly.

Not being able to play games? Not serious? What the hell are you talking about? Did you compare a 3090 to a bottom tier ATI Radeon card or something? My RX 6800 was a fucking champ that was able to run everything I threw at it without a single problem and with quite satisfactory performance at 1440p. It was most definitely a very competent GPU for gaming.

ML and nvenc are extra features that not everyone needs or even wants.

I believe you’re talking about Sagrada Familia, not Barcelona Cathedral.

Tailscale funnel is made for this.

You’re not gonna be lining a flexible handheld device with the kind of solar panels that can achieve such efficiencies even under ideal conditions. If you want an actual parasol rather than an unwieldy, rigid, parasol shaped bed for a bunch of solar panels, this is a job for the more alternative solar cell types that are cheaper and less efficient, but can be made thinner and lighter, and can be stuck on something like that. Unfortunately those generally have piss poor efficiency and they degrade to near uselessness very quickly.

Does this mess with DRM stuff? Or do they keep working because it’s the same hardware?

Some slicers can add mouse ears automatically along edges where it’d be likely to lift up. I believe it’s been a feature in orca and its derivatives for some time. Otherwise you can add very thin, single layer cylinders to the corners. Most slicers out there have features to let you add common primitives like that.

I was. We walked around aimlessly in the forest, occasionally yelling out the missing girl’s name. Then it turned out to be a drill and the girl was fine. We were yelled at for being shit searchers, and were told that she’d be dead if it was real. I thought it was an extremely unreasonable thing to do, because we were just a bunch of teenagers on a camping trip and nobody had ever told us how to do a proper grid search so how the fuck were we supposed to know how to do it? It was a surreal experience.

Anyway we were mostly dressed in what we wore into our sleeping bags because we were pulled out of our tents in the middle of the night.

“and then and then and then Piper sat there and threw her leg up and started licking her own butt and threw up behind the bean bag”

That sounds fun honey, what else did you do?

Maybe I’m doing sick ass donuts all the time and going through 2 sets of tires a month. You don’t know my driving habits.

If by “literally anyone” you mean any catholic man, then sure.

Don’t count on it. On really hot days the interior of a car sitting under the sun can reach petg’s glass transition temp. I’ve had petg prints, also attached to the visor as it happens, soften up and deform in my car.
