There’s also istheservicedown.com, but it also appears to rely on CloudFlare.

There’s isitdownrightnow.com, which appears not to use CloudFlare.

Took down Framework’s website, which I was using.

It’s back up now.

Just keep in mind that the long run trend for storage prices is pretty strongly downwards; that’s a log-scale graph.

The cases of old ones are on eBay, as I mention in another comment.

And it looks like someone has made ATX mounting kits.

Good point!

I admit I’m using my 1,1 as an extra seat in the office, but it’s form of use.

And I bought it back in 2006

Looks like non-functional 2006 Mac Pros are on eBay for $60. Cheaper than an office chair!

but Project Prometheus has already hired 100 employees, poaching several from firms like OpenAI, DeepMind and Meta, according to the Times.

I think that one problem with all this spending is that there are only so many people with relevant experience in the area. If wages are high enough, the market will send more over time, but that isn’t instantaneous.

Reading these comments, I have to say that a number of users of this community have very strong views on batteries.

Like, I would not have expected as many people to get upset as did in a discussion over batteries.

You do if you want it to connect to the thing you’re playing on.

Unless you’re ok with a shitty Bluetooth connection. But I’m guessing few people comparatively are using that, at least as their primary use case.

Okay, but I think that that kind of misses the broader context. This only came up as a hypothetical for how one could discharge a controller. If you’re playing on a wired connection, then the console is charging thr controller and the issue never comes up in the first place.

the Lunar Lake option is a high perf single core CPU

According to this, all Lunar Lake CPUs have 4 performance and 4 economy cores; none have a single core.

I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.

I carry a ~300 Wh power bank with my laptop.

They also have a less-elaborate, smaller, lighter, less-expensive ~200 Wh model that’s probably more actually-practical:

Note that you can’t take anything over 100 Wh on a flight in the US. I also have a 100 Wh power bank that I keep around for flights.

What that means to someone is up to them. Some users on here do not like the US at all, for example, and they might be delighted to be using a Serbian company instead of a US company. That’s not my position, but I’ve no doubt that it’s a perspective for some. I have mentioned Kagi in the past favorably, and simply want people to understand, as best as I can, what using Kagi entails.

EDIT: For users who might be in the US, though, and not familiar with the political structure in Europe today, while Serbia is in Europe, it is not — presently — in the EU, and isn’t subject to the kind of data privacy laws or legal/judicial regimen that one might expect of companies in the EU.

That’s fair – it necessarily extends trust, and at the least you’d want them to be liable for false advertising.

I did go digging directly as a result of your comment, and I did find that it looks like Kagi operates at least in part, if not in whole, from Serbia. They have a San Francisco mailing address…but it’s just basically a mailbox.

For me, at least, that’s a concern; I’ve posted here on the matter to make others aware. I don’t know if it’d be enough to stop me from using them, but it certainly does make me reconsider how much weight I’d be willing to place on statements the company makes about its privacy policy, and what their practical legal liability is if they’re making inaccurate statements about their privacy practices.

I’m more upset I didn’t think of it first.

Maybe nobody’s done Muhammad and Buddha yet.

https://biblehub.com/q/was_jesus_omniscient.htm

Omniscience refers to the ability to know all things-past, present, and future-completely and without limitation.

Conclusion

Scripture consistently presents Jesus as fully God and fully man, possessing all divine attributes, including omniscience.

I suppose that establishes it. Jesus is presumably also fluent in Cockney rhyming slang.

Jesus very probably did exist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus

I don’t know if the historicity of any of the other figures listed has been established. I mean, Jesus had a mother, for example, but I don’t know if there’s any reason to believe that she was anything like Mary as the Bible describes her.

I’d guess that most of the Biblical figures with established historical existence are gonna be major figures like Pontius Pilate.

Chat With Jesus, Mary, The Apostles — And Even Satan

Most of those people were likely illiterate, and wouldn’t have been able to write the chat messages. You’re gonna get about as much out of Jesus on the other end of a chat program as you would a cat walking across the keyboard.

I’ve had a couple of devices over the years that require one to unscrew a screw to open a cover to replace batteries. It’s not that common, but I’ve certainly had them floating around.

In fact…I think that my analog multimeter does that, with a 9V battery.

goes to look

Yeah, Phillip’s head screw. Though you only really need power on that thing for continuity testing, and some people might never even need to power it.

They have a no-log, no-profile policy, which is why I use them.
