To rephrase the question: what’s something simple and easy that you’d prefer the task or cost of maintaining and running an overly complex machine than actually doing it?

It looks like a florescent tube, not LED, but I guess it’s just a diffuser over LEDs?
Florescent tubes can definitely make noise though…

Ignorant is more specific, only applies when someone doesn’t know or doesn’t want to know something. That can be referred to as stupid, but stupid can also refer to any other kind of stupidity, such as struggling to work out a basic math or logic puzzle, or failing to follow basic instructions.
- Comment on What's the difference between ignorance and stupidity? 1 month ago:
Ignorance can be used to refer to both cases.

It would need to be a square extruded helix too…

If your knife is sharp it can be easier to slice it into quarters with the skin on, then slice the insides as normal, and then you can just pinch the ends and invert the skin and the slices pop right out. No scooping necessary.

I think it saves and loads the ram cache on the disk too, or maybe I’m thinking of a different feature…
- Comment on Is using an ssd as a cache to speed up a harddrive still a thing? 2 months ago:
I believe windows 11 is kinda meant to do this automatically now, which is partly why it uses so much ram when you haven’t even launched anything yet…
It seems quite bad at it however.
This tool is meant to help diagnose issues with it, but I’ve not been able to try it, as the windows 11 machine I use is pwnd by my IT department and their antivirus blocks it from running 😅:
