But it takes more energy to split than you get out of it.

Doesn’t splitting helium into hydrogen absorb energy?

Fusion bombs fuse hydrogen into helium.

Instructions unclear. Wrapped laptop around post.

You could also argue that if even if you’re not self-hosting (i.e. renting server hardware from a 3rd party), your data is still in a siloed environment. While it may be accessible by law enforcement if you are targeted specifically, it’s unlikely to be dragnetted like the data collected from popular apps.

Sure, but many people in the US have only one option for hardwired internet. Starlink and 5G options are the only other option.

I pulled down 100mbps and was able to FaceTime just fine. Maybe too much lag for serious online competitive play, but I never measured it.

And no bandwidth caps from what I’ve seen.

We got one for our camper. Works really well though we only use it in the summer months. What are your complaints?

…is starlink an option for you?

Copyright law is the only one that matters apparently.

Yeah, since it’s exclusively for gaming, I tried Drauger which is allegedly some gamer-based distro. Took an hour to get WiFi working then it hard locked at the login screen after running updates.

Reminded me of my first time trying Linux in 2004.

I’ve been running Ubuntu for a year on my laptop. Might feel brave enough to branch out into something else soon.

My strategy is to just keep some copyrighted Disney music on my phone and blare it if things get too dicey.

Built my wife her first gaming PC. Installed Ubuntu. I’m shocked at how easily everything runs.

Back in college, we used to do a “gallon challenge” every 4th of July for the people staying on campus over the summer. Some of them cheated by taking lactaid.

I’m convinced this song and This is Halloween from Nightmare Before Christmas are the same song. So hum that instead.

Can opener

Moore’s law factored in cost, not just what was physically possible.

The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year. Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years.

I mean, it’s a really slick gimmick. I think having a bendy screen is cooler than two screens even if it’s more expensive/difficult to manufacture and doesn’t provide any real benefit.

I’m sure there are a half-dozen ways you could at least fake it. Like if the bezel can be made clear and they overlap somewhat.

Weird to see a bot tell on themselves like this
