47.8GB?
- Comment on Why is the Wii U considered a flop? 18 hours ago:
Because it didn’t sell well.
- Comment on Will the proliferation of AI slop lead to the renaissance of craftsmanship? 6 days ago:
No. You can’t find good furniture as easily now like you could before Amazon.com for example. It’s all trash that lasts just long enough that you can’t leave a review for it, assuming the company still exists and didn’t restructure.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 1 week ago:
The amount of people complaining about update scheduling is statistically insignificant in the real world. Lemmy and other tech communities are an echo chamber.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 1 week ago:
Maybe you don’t recall how bad botnets were before updates become harder to avoid.
I’d support optional updates if network access is disabled, maybe by your ISP.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 1 week ago:
The amount of misinformation in a windows update thread on lemmy would be laughable if it wasn’t a weekly post.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 1 week ago:
You’re wrong twice in one sentence. Windows gives you lots of opportunities to deal with updating on your own schedule. Updates shouldn’t be optional, else we have huge botnets running around.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 1 week ago:
Why would you not defer updates if you need to use your pc?
- Comment on If your city has terrible tap water, how do you fight for better tap water? 1 week ago:
You would grit tested then go to your local government’s meetings and ask them to address it.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 1 week ago:
The US has a lot of space and a lot of farmland. Most countries don’t. As ocean transportation of food (amongst other resources) becomes less reliable due to lack of security, people will be fleeing their failed or failing country to one that’s more stable.
You’re right to think that the US has shit policies for immigration now but I think that will change once population decline starts affecting how much food is stocked at grocery stores.
I anticipate things being a lot worse than they are even now over the next 15 years. Multiple wars, state-sanctioned sea piracy, and a failure in the complex supply chain that creates advanced chipsets used for things like servers/workstations, satellites, weather prediction, stock markets, etc. leading to a mini-collapse as a best-case scenario.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 1 week ago:
“I guess we’ll have to increase wages”. Doesn’t work when there aren’t enough working people to maintain critical infrastructure.
World wide population decline is going to cause some serious problems. The US will need to establish a strong immigration policy to absorb people fleeing failing countries/geographies while continuing to provide food, and the transportation of that food, to the rest of the us.
- Comment on How can one individual get Nestle, Amazon, Google, Apple, Disney, and Blackrock to go out of business? 2 weeks ago:
Would be especially effective against Nestle. Advertise that you’re going to poison products from the company, do it successfully, then advertise you’ll do it again.
- Comment on The reason the right are so anti Mamdani is obvious: they don’t want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work the right way would actually look like. Then everyone would want it everywhere. 3 weeks ago:
Lies.
Office space is easily remodeled. Most high rise commercial buildings have windows. they are designed for it to be changed every few years.
Older buildings regularly get turned into housing and sell well exactly for their unique characteristics.
I lived in a converted building that had an enormous industrial crane structure inside of it. They had retrofitted a pool, hot tub, and basketball court on the roofs. It even had two stall parking.
- Comment on Please!!! 3 weeks ago:
Is the game bad?
- Comment on Can you open up an unmanned store in the US and will it stay in business or close down? 3 weeks ago:
Yes. You’re likely to see one at a busy airport.
You get in by presenting a form of payment. You take what you want and walk out. You get charged for it.

They were not very good guns.

My eye is twitching.

Where are you from where a toaster oven is obscure?
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
US doesn’t get 240v at most outlets unfortunately. My hot water to the kitchen is 50-60 ft as it goes up to the 2nd floor attic, across maybe 45 ft, then back down.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
They are both 100% efficient, although 240v has less loss over the same amount of length.
Insulation doesn’t matter too much if you’re just dumping the water down the drain.
But you’re right a dishwasher doesn’t have nearly as much insulating properties. The heat element in one is basically there to counter act the heat loss.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Yes, hot water cleans better, and results in dryer dishes due to condensation drying.
The heating element in a dishwasher is weak. It can’t heat water up that well since it’s limited to 120v and probably not even 20A. The first rinse cycle will effectively be cold water.
Your tank water heater is 240v and has a dedicated circuit, probably 30A. It can heat a lot of water, fast.
If you’re concerned about wasting water you can get a small tank or tankless hot water heater under the sink. Your water will then be hot nearly always.
Some wash cycles will both purge more water and heat it up longer to compensate.

- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 1 month ago:
Maybe I should have said “what’s app gained popularity earlier”
- Comment on Palworld lead worries Steam early access has "lost its meaning": players treat it like "a normal game" and the program has been "abused for a lot of reasons" 1 month ago:
What does “early access” provide?
What aren’t shortcomings?
How should it be fixed?
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 1 month ago:
WhatsApp has been around for a few minutes more than Signal.
- Comment on Let's run it back 1 month ago:
Not enough FEMA to go around.
They also will just move you up to a higher part of your yard if that’s all that’s needed. I had a relative that contracted for FEMA that would regularly order buildings be replaced to locations that would avoid flooding and other hazards even if it cost more.
- Comment on Let's run it back 1 month ago:
FEMA would definitely move you.
- Comment on Let's run it back 1 month ago:
This feels like victim-blaming. How can you tell a significant percentage of the US that they can’t live there any more? Where are they supposed to go? Kansas?
- Comment on Why do women in golf wear those short/skirt things while the men wear pants? 1 month ago:
Because they picked it out that morning.
