You spent more time typing that out than it would have taken to actually check Google’s wording. They claim “7 years of OS updates”, you’re just spreading misinformation.

Every Google search should include an AI answer! Who cares about energy usage, we’ll just buy a nuclear power plant!

Seems like you can’t find a robo vacuum without a camera these days, anyone not running https://valetudo.cloud/ is asking for trouble.

The charging equipment I use is a normal wall outlet. I have a pretty small commute (maybe 30 miles) and I don’t need any special charging equipment to charge that much overnight.

The only time I use a public ev charger is on road trips. I never think about charging unless I’m driving more than 250 miles in a day. The only time I’m spending a full 20 minutes at a charger is if I’m driving closer to 450 miles.

Anyone looking for a free drop in replacement, I’ve been using Rancher Desktop without any issues https://rancherdesktop.io/

The Mk4 made up a lot of ground, but I agree they are a pricey option. Personally I was able to justify the price by the benefits of open source, if the company disappears tomorrow I’m confident the open source community could continue issuing firmware/slicer updates.

If open source is a big deal for you I would look into Prusa, they have a great track record and a lot of other companies are using forked versions of their slicer. I have a Prusa MK3s and absolutely love it. I had a self sourced RepRap before this and compared to that it absolutely “just works”. I bought the multi color add on and was expecting it to be very finicky, but other than some initial filament loading issues (have to make sure the end of the filament goes to a point) I absolutely love it.

There are some truly great apple products, so I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss them all as terrible. But they are overpriced across the board. They also have a habit of anti-consumer practices like giving you a worse experience if you don’t exclusively use apple products.

In what way is this like what happened with the civil war? States started leaving the union before Lincoln was even in office, not 3 years into his term

In any modern IDE “dredging through old commits” means clicking a single button to see who last changed the line. From there it often makes sense to go look at the PR to see a higher level of what was changed. You cannot include all of that context in a single comment.

If a game developer can’t trust the platform you’re developing for, you probably should look to find better business partners.

Right, and blockchain/NFT have nothing to do with that problem. Xbox could have implemented the exact same program without a blockchain, they just wanted the buzzword in the headline.

Because then they wouldn’t be able to evangelize NFTs. You see this constantly with crypto/NFT tech, a solution in search of a problem

What the fuck are you talking about? It doesn’t matter how many options you have for an exchange, as soon as you choose one you give the keys to the castle to another person. You have no idea who they are, if you should trust them, or what your recourse would be if they scammed you. But don’t worry the scary government won’t be involved at all. What a joke.

A thread about heat pumps without Technology Connections? That’s not right. https://youtu.be/7J52mDjZzto?si=ZhMTJTltlcOA1_Pa

The second that people started using centralized crypto exchanges this argument went out the window. A third party has just as much control, with zero oversight isn’t that neat?
