• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I replace my laptop battery, and are third-party batteries safe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  third party batteries are generally ok, but would probably degrade faster than official asus ones.

  it would be better for battery health if you keep it on 30~80% range and not drain it till 0%/charge till 100%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much RAM is in your average EV car, and is it DDR5?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  RAM+NAND is really useless, like I can say my old laptop is 128.5GB RAM+NAND and it has 512MB ram with 128GB SSD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  as long as you keep it safe i still think it’s better than not having one though. it’s much easier to manipulate memory when there’s nothing to compare/verify against. tho, the journal being leaked or modified is a big issue, maybe a git repo inside some encrypted drive would do…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it seems like they mostly remember the ‘vibe’ along with some hazy memories. kinda unrelated to OP but my grandparents started showing me AI generated pics/vids claming it’s “just like his childhood”…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had too, how would go about running a Instagram account?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe use a public wifi if you have one available nearby? or a residential proxy, tho it’a bit unethical and has the possibility of being banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is your personal experience with "uBlacklist" and which lists do you personally use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is your personal experience with "uBlacklist" and which lists do you personally use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use the two with uBlock Origin instead (so I can choose to go there still), and there were some sites that does have proper information blocked there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do .ml users get a bad rep?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats a good and proper alternative google message thats clean but better with privacy? - for texting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  is it? i mean it’s possible for ‘ai’ to create a unique combination of stuff it was ‘trained on’ due to its randomness. imo the ‘idea’ just depends on human interpretation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I tell my Korean male childhood friend that he looks like a really cute anime girl and that I'd die for him and that I want to cuddle with him and treat him like a princess (no homo)?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sad :/ I never had an AMD machine so haven’t tried, but I heard it’s pretty well working nowadays… At least I see a lot of successes on r/hackintosh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but you can run x86 MacOS on a VM. There’s no graphics acceleration unless you passthrough a supported GPU tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would try getting a tablet. I don’t like Apple devices because of their “jailed” software policy but iPads have awesome display panels, maybe getting an older model for cheap could be good. Have an iPad 3 (2012) and the panel is still miles better than my cheap Lenovo P11 (2021).
