  • Ha, didn't even notice that.

  • I'm normally really bad at timing the market but I really did get lucky for buying a Pi 5 8GB in September 2025.

  • Usually around $300/month:

    • $50/month on bagels, my favorite food that I eat way too much of
    • $120/month on other food at home like salads, homemade fried rice, and chicken nuggets
    • $30/month on snacks like pretzels (it's an addiction sadly)
    • $100/month on going out to eat
  • My Internet is so bad that I still often watch YouTube/Nebula at 360p or even 240p. I almost never go above 720p.

  • I've been dual booting Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) for a while, and sadly I'm back on Windows after a month and a half of exclusively using Linux. The reason? Ethernet. I need to assign a static IP to a dev board with Ethernet, and while it works fairly easily on Windows, it just doesn't work on Linux, saying it's unavailable in the nmcli output.

    Of course, Windows is worse than before. It hasn't fixed the bug where it never updates the system time, forcing me to manually press sync on every boot. And it hasn't fixed the newer bug where my laptop display needs to go down to 768p to display 300Hz, making me to go down to 60Hz to use the full 1080p resolution. All the while Microsoft pushes things nobody wants.

  • The part that gets me is that the unlock is not automatic. I don't like the fact that it is now for a year but now also Verizon has the upper hand to just refuse the unlock to anyone they don't like.

  • At least it lets me reboot on my own time... But it is seemingly required to update some packages.

  • Not quite true on my Ubuntu system. It offers to update stuff every 2 weeks (slowest time that isn't "never"), and then wants a reboot at the end...

  • This is a cool fun fact, but it's not really an interesting picture. Should've been posted in Today I Learned or something instead of Pics.

  • This reminds me of my "Linux island" city in Cities Skylines! I can get screenshots later, but basically there's the main island of the Linux distros/districts, where the outer parts are more noob friendly and the inner parts are more "advanced", with the nearby, considerably more crowded and poorer Android island consisting of various Android ROMs.

  • I've done that and it's significantly better because of that feature. Speaking of, is it possible to migrate blocklists from one account to another?

  • This just sounds like Factorio with Angel's mods...

  • I've been using Lemmy less because it's so depressing. It feels like a majority of the engagement is with depressing US politics and a strong left bias (to be clear, I also hate the current government). Unlike most, I really like most of the nerdy tech content.

    Which is why I've been lurking more on Hacker News lately, it's tech minded forums with an appropriate level of politics and more nuanced takes. And as a bonus the interface even less bloated (in terms of resource usage) than any Lemmy frontend I've tried.

  • From my experience, the first 50-100 turns are kinda boring (unless you're fighting barbarians) but things get more interesting when you have many cities and things to manage. The game takes a long time to hook me, but when it does it hooks me good. :)

  • GPUs will get more expensive as the VRAM will be diverted to much more profitable datacenter GPUs during the RAM shortage.

  • How do I do this?

  • But COM interfaces can't pass exceptions, only HRESULTs. I don't know how it was working in the first place if the setup was this janky.

  • Here's an idea that won't cost anything: Browser games! There are tons of great Incremental games playable for free on a browser, and plenty of other games too.

  • Depends. Reasonable volume? Easily ignored. Blasting at max volume? Very inconsiderate, just use headphones!
