I have two of them, and I think they are great. That being said, they are significantly more expensive than similar options from Dell (or Lenovo, HP, etc.) They just don’t have the volume of production needed to compete.

MAYBE you’ll end up ahead with upgradability or repairability, but honestly, you’re paying more to support good company practices.

I’m planning on keeping these laptops for a long time and upgrading when I need to, but we have to be realistic that most people aren’t going to stomach a minimum of 30% premium for options they don’t care about.

Numbers 5:11-22

If your wife is unfaithful, she should go to the priest and get a concoction to abort the pregnancy conceived with another man.

I think they meant to rotate through different pictures, not to physically walk up and rotate the ipad every few hours.

Which is kind of the point of a digital picture frame, cause… why use an electronic device to display a single static picture. Just go to a store and get your picture professionally printed if you only want one.

They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors… Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

This is correct, but it’s also, it’s only 100% of the heat at that point in the circuit.

Technically, using natural gas to make electricity, then sending that electricity to an electric heater would be less efficient than burning that natural gas for heat at the source.

So it depends on where you start counting from.

How do you know a commenter is over 40? This one right here.

Fits on a 3.5" floppy… interesting.

Bone conducting headphones already exist

Wow, never occurred to me before, but this is such an elegant, and simple solution.

Which is KIND OF ok unless someone looks at a password breech list and figures out your super simple pattern. And I’m sure the rise of AI being used in password breech attacks will just make it more automated.

Real, true, random passwords/tokens is really the only way to actually be safe. Which means you have to use a password generator, AND something to save the password.

Then one password breech and your password everywhere is exposed to the world. That’s bad advice.

There’s no way for the average person to keep up with remembering unique, strong passwords for all the sites that require them.

You either have to write it down, save it in a password manager, reuse passwords, or have simplified passwords or patterns.

Alicia Masters, The Thing’s girlfriend, is also blind, so they’d make a good thruple.

Networked cameras used for security should have local storage to buffer when the network isn’t available, regardless of if you’re using wired or wireless.

Nope, I was wrong, it’s from an Anime, Tower of God. Still looks ripped right out of a Thor comic.

Not sure where it’s from, but it kinda looks like Beta Ray Bill. My guess is some sort of Avengers/Thor animated movie.

It’s an interesting story anyway, kind of fun how the early days of the internet people just decided to build stuff and that random little tool from decades ago continue to be the backbone of much of the world. Imagine if all that stuff was proprietary…

But rand() is a number between 0-1, so it will never be >10

Basically this is just #define True = False

The intent of the proverb isn’t that bad people don’t get good things, it’s that a person who is cheating doesn’t get value out of the activity.

If you go through life cutting corners, you don’t actually get to learn and build a strong foundation.

You can still be rewarded with jobs, money, and sycophants, but that’s not what really matters.
