The common people are the ones who overthrow the dictator eventually

They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.

What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?

A Mac is not a Windows PC

The last time I turned off my Mac Mini was when we moved. The time before that was when my UPS battery died and I had to swap a new one in.

I do reboot it though, but why would I bother turning it off?

The previous model has it in the back, you can’t even feel it properly because it’s not recessed.

On the other hand the last time I turned off my M1 mini was when we moved. It’s 100% silent and takes less power than a lightbulb when it sleeps, so why would I bother powering it off.

You can get cheaper options with 10G nics in the same form factor

But usually the retention departments have the most leeway to give you discounts 😀

Just call and threaten to cancel and suddenly you get 50% off for 6 months or something.

(Works very well with Audible, the further you go in the cancel flow on the website, the bigger discounts you get - you can repeat the “I quit” threat about once a year.)

People should be of legal age before officially joining a religion.

You’re acting like Wikipedia talk pages and especially news site comment sections are some bastions of discourse 😆

They’re all cesspools of shit that don’t bring any joy to anyone except trolls, pedants and energy vampires

Bluesky gives them the big numbers

Alec also clearly says which article he used as a source and credits the author

So what you’re saying we create a Credit Score system, but for guns. Might just work 🧐

But a digital gun database is unconstitutional?

Correction: Google and Samsung have said they’ll do that. Time will tell if they actually stick to their promises.

Apple on the other hand has already done so for over a decade with no fanfare or promises.

Ahh, Glassholes

Grid scale batteries allow for better security by distributing storage across the network and lets us store renewable energy from peak hours.

Cheap grid storage will be a game changer

Make it AI controlled for good measure

Is using a 30 year old VGA monitor “green”?

Multiple people were really angry when VGA ports disappeared, the amount of shitty corporate projectors with only VGA connectors was staggering and we had to resort to using adapters (“dongles”) for a long time until all of them were replaced with HDMI capable ones
