  • What are something you immediately took for granted and were surprised about?

    Jump

  • I can handle shitty graphics, it's the framerates that really mess with me.

    I sometimes forget that some games on Switch cap at 30fps. Jumping from a 165hz display running 165fps to a 60hz display running 30fps is... a bit jarring.

  • people who deliver or install things to people 's houses. what kind of odd things have you seen?

    Jump

  • As a teenager, my parents would only let me have a PC if it was situated outside of my room, so naturally, I put my setup in my basement. I was excited to play games in the coolest (temp-wise) room in the house, up until the day a camel cricket decided to jump up my pants and continue to work its way up until I smashed it against myself.

    Yuck.

  • The original processor

    Jump

  • I like to imagine that the childbots are made in the image of the parentbots, and the childbots eventually are tasked with picking out preferred larger parts as a growing rite.

  • Too much of a good thing? Spain's green energy can exceed demand, country is looking at storing capacity or buyers to solve electricity oversupply

    Jump

  • Cool to see this come up! I recently had to write a (mock) proposal regarding different efforts to store excess green energy and I had a blast reading about gravity batteries and pumped hydro. Hopefully, these projects come along sooner than later, as widespread adoption will take much longer than the first several implementations.

    Another neat tidbit I learned while researching pumped hydro is that hydroelectric dams actually use the remaining inertia of the spinning generators to pump water back up the dams, which is much like the idea of regenerative braking in EVs.

  • What was your worst work mishap, accident, or oopsie?

    Jump

  • For the 2nd one, better safe than sorry. You would feel like more of a dumbass if you heard a story in the news about a gas leak fire, or some other form of damage/injury/death.

  • Oral-B bricking Alexa toothbrush is cautionary tale against buzzy tech

    Jump

  • I just wanted to point out that Oral B's basic electric toothbrushes still range from $45-$80, so it's not quite as cheap as you say it is. Your point still stands in its entirety. The only thing that makes this product different from the $45 model is the Alexa functionality, and taking that away makes it effectively not the same product.

  • Not a Number

    Jump

  • If 0/0 is NaN, then does that mean 0NaN = 00/0 = 0?

  • What drew you to the high seas?

    Jump

  • I remember chilling in the basement and using the PS2 to listen to music. Of course, I gamed on it plenty, but having the music player and DVD player function was pretty convenient too.

  • I still don't get buffers

    Jump

  • I had to learn emacs for my engineering computation class, up to the point that we were required to present our code in emacs if we had questions to ask during office hours.

    I got quite used to it by the end of that course.

  • You Knew This Was Coming

    Jump

  • This is basically the first joke I made when I talked about the news to friends.

  • Video: Why I’m Voting: A Fisherman Urges Republicans to Confront Climate Change

    Jump

  • Keeping this one for later. Thank you!

  • Can this be replicated with opensource software?[p2p file transfer over thunderbolt, and extremely low latency Video and game streaming (no encoding)]

    Jump

  • One does not need to be a fan/recurrent viewer of LTT to be curious about a technology. And while most of the technical information sucks, the introductory level stuff can be useful for low and middle-end enthusiasts.

  • Why more PC gaming handhelds should ditch Windows for SteamOS

    Jump

  • MSI just announced their handheld PC too, it has an Intel (Meteor Lake) CPU with Arc graphics.

  • Forklift Certified Magical Girl Rule

    Jump

  • Anime about trans men being under fire in competitive forklift operating behcause they have a "biological advantage" over AMABs despite the literal mechanisms of hrt.

  • God Damn!

  • America #1
