My thought too. “Oohhhh noooo, they took her away. So sad.” Downloads tinder

This is exactly right and needs to be higher. This was either part of the plan or a welcome side effect.

I had a friend who once told me his brother discovered Alaska while riding in a hot air balloon. I wonder if we have the same friend.

It’s not the military’s duty to protect protestors. Just as the police have no obligation to protect and serve citizens.

Sure. The Tesla is doing 45 mph and the collision is 15 feet ahead. Your reaction speed + brakes will totally fix it, math checks out.

Bot says what?

The board is his family and close allies. They’re not going to go against him. Tesla = Musk. Anyone who’s a part of Tesla, including investors, is part of the nosedive into the pavement, just along for the ride at this point.

Shit, I’d take something even simpler, even a 1 year moratorium after a layoff.

Youtube on the RPI5 drops frames and is stuttery. If that’s fine for you, great. But I’d argue it’s not what people consider a good viewing experience. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBQosbjl9Jw&t=278s and https://youtu.be/nBtOEmUqASQ?t=797 if you’d like more info.

The accessories I mentioned for the RPI5 are the bare essentials just to get the thing to power up, boot to a web browser, and connect to a monitor to try to play YouTube, which is the foundation of your original comment. Please show me where a $120 used laptop or desktop tower needs additional hardware purchases to boot and plug in an HDMI cable.

You’re picking the wrong fight with the wrong guy, friend. I’m a huge RPI advocate and I think they are great tools for specific use cases. I simply want to point out that if folks are considering it in the hopes that it’s a small and cheap way to watch YouTube, they’re gonna have a bad time.

Yep. First of all, the person who said an RPI5 can show YouTube HD just fine is lying. It’s still stuttery and drops frames (better than the RPI4b, but still not great). Second, you’ll end up dropping well north of $100 for the RPI5, active cooler, case, memory card (not even mentioning an m2 hat), power supply, and cable / adapter to feed standard HDMI.

You can find some really solid used laptops and towers in that price range, not to mention the n100 NUC. And they’ll all stream YouTube HD much better, as well as provide a much smoother desktop experience overall.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me a RPI, I run a couple myself. They’re just not great daily drivers, especially if you want to stream HD content.

Hyundai and GM / Chevy are the two biggest examples of automakers producing affordable EVs with traditional buttons and knobs. Audi, BMW, and Porsche are all moving back in that direction, but generally those aren’t in the affordable category you mentioned.

Recent articles suggest many automakers swinging back towards the physical control side of the spectrum. It’s a very good thing, touchscreens for basic auto controls was a terrible idea.

everything controlled by touchscreens and collecting data that the car companies sell off to the highest bidder

This has nothing to do with the engine type. This is a (valid) concern about new cars. But citing it as a reason to avoid EVs is misplaced.

Yeah but once it gets posted to an .ee, it becomes fake. You’d know that if all of the senior tech workers in your brain hadn’t already left for high paying Chinese jobs.

Shit, my bad. Yep I meant hydra. I need to brush up on my Greek mythology.

Yeah it’s a chimera hydra, similar to illegal movie streaming sites. Unless they solve it at the AI engine level, they’re just chasing ghosts.

The idea that any such servers would be running windows… shudder

It reminds me of how tech companies are all scrambling to use AI. There was a funny article recently where the author pointed out that these companies are struggling to do very basic things, so the idea that they could somehow tackle AI in a way that’s useful and profitable is silly.

Here’s the article, very entertaining and worth the read.

It’s crazy when you think about it. They picked up their lives, sold their homes in southern california, and moved to fucking central florida of all places. It’s such a massive, massive downgrade in every conceivable category to move from socal to central florida. Then to have the company that mandated this (probably under threat of termination) pull a bait-and-switch once the employees and their families had moved, I’d be lawyering up and suing too. I’d sue them to make me whole – put me back in the same neighborhood I left, in a same or better house (with the same or better loan amount and terms), and offset any losses (with interest) related to moving, my spouse’s loss of job and income, provide equivalent income and job placement for my spouse until they find an equal or better job, and guarantee my employment at current job and comp for the next 10 years (with a sparkling golden parachute if they terminate me earlier).

Get a pellet gun and shoot them down. You’ll find out quickly who is doing it when they trespass on your property to retrieve their downed hardware.
