Cool nice shit costs money sometimes. You can’t really consider this device from a regular value standpoint. Its unique.

They also give you 24 games within the price of the device. At say $5-$10 a pop, its decent value for the games alone.

Yup its exactly this. And with supply shortages, itll take a while to filter down in price unfortunately.

In a sense, its the system functioning as it should. If you have a healthy democratic society with good principals, juries should acquit people for things that may be crimes but are perfectly reasonable and justified.

Whatever, it’s a better retcon than everything J.K.Rowling said about Harry Potter.

The Matrix having a bunch of trans themes > Dumbledore having a throbbing gay sex backstory and the 1 jewish student being named Goldstein.

The Matrix actually supports those themes and readings within the work.

All renewables are subject to some kind of weather impacts. A challenge with the grid is adapting to spikes in demand like if it’s really cold or hot one day in particular. You cant turn up the sun or wind on demand.

We’ve been having brown outs in Canada for the first time ever in the last few years. Its crazy to imagine since our electricity is so abundant. Same with France struggling with this heat wave.

It shows the importance of diversifying energy production. In Quebec it’s all hydro, but sometimes the weather means the reservoirs can get low over the years. It affects production in a serious way and can take time to build up again.

Wind and solar are also affected by weather patterns in their own ways. Maybe less so or at least maybe different factors. Hedging and balancing grid production is going to be a new challenge.

Fossil fuels did have the advantage of being pretty easy to ramp up or down, whenever, for whatever reason. Some countries might want to keep around older but very efficient fossil fuel plants as backups for these kinds of events. That or waste incineration for example.

May be an orange, but you sure have a smart system to alert you if the kibble is late.

An app is always a red flag, especially if it’s the only way you can interact with the device.

We could live without anything that uses ads to “sustain” itself. Nobody hosting ads on their service is doing so to “maintain” themselves. They just want profit for their labour… they are entitled too, but its a business choice, never a necessity.

And yeah if I use something, I’ll always pay for no ads. Ads cost so much more of our lifespans and contribute so fucking little to those that host them. Garbage.

I respect your take, but I think it is wrong.

Who’s houses are the datacenters being built next to?

I think Ai hate might be the single most unifying position in the west right now.

Some transit channels have uploaded mirrors to PeerTube but the numbers are minuscule compared to their Youtube channels.

Cynically though… they’ve been peddling nothing for two decades now. Big data, the cloud, SAAS, web 3.0, metaverse, nfts, llms, there’s always a new nothing born.

They are all going into debt over datacenters. Google issued new shares… how? why? They all make so much money and still they can’t cashflow this expansion.

What blood will there be to take?

Or his pivot to threads?

Yeah, that’s the neat part about servers, they don’t necessarily need to be snappy. Most of what it does is background work and it doesn’t have anything else to do. DDR3 and DDR4 get the job done just as well, and save you a buck.

My NAS has 16gb of ddr3 ecc, it has 10tb of ZFS pools and it runs an embedded OS. No problems with that. Not going to use it to host Gitlab lol, but it gets the job done for what it has to do.

Farming equipment is a particularly annoying one, that and construction vehicles, are becoming increasingly locked down by proprietary software and impossible to maintain yourself. You can’t even employ mechanics outside the dealer network in some instances and it will be more so in the future.

We’ll they said they only scanned stuff that would have allowed them implicitly, now did they really respect that? Their ‘‘stack’’ is public, so people can review it. It’s opensource, people can audit it at least.

The big giants can lift whatever they want from Github and we don’t have the means to prove it. I’m sure Microsoft is using private repos as they like. It’s not a coincidence that Copilot was one of the earlier coding LLMs.

Yeah, they aren’t supposed to scrape that stuff. That’s kind of where I’m wondering if they limited their collections.
