  Fair points, my situation doesn’t apply to everyone.

  I occasionally use my htpc for light office work, the terrible ergonomics are the only problem In that case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You could always attach the pc to the TV, and if you don’t have one you’d need one for the console anyways.

  And my screens were like 17,50 each also used obvs. Fair point about the peripheries though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not quite correct, every ice car has a mechanism to disconnect the engine from the wheels.

  Manuals typically use a clutch to archive this. For the longest time automatic transmissions haven’t though, instead they use a torque converter. Which also is a type of clutch obviously, but not what people usually refer to when they use the term clutch.

  There also are automated manuals and dual clutch transmissions, but those are more modern…

  Too lazy to find sources rn, but if anyone wants to know more I’ll provide some.

  Are we talking about a new 200$ pc? Because if you buy used you can get a very decent non gaming pc for that money. Maybe I got lucky, my current desktop was 350€ used with a pretty modern and fast CPU (5800x) and a somewhat outdated GPU (vega56).

  I just noticed yesterday, that existing subscribers can stay at the old price. There’s an option to switch to a “basic” plan, afaik you will lose access to audiobooks, but they only give 12h of those per month, for the 2 euros extra.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cause and Effect⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh, reasoning and thinking is hard work, even if you learned how to.

  And it’s getting increasingly harder to find reliable information, so you have to check the sources of your sources. And at some point down the rabbit hole stuff gets real complex, and maybe, you still haven’t figured out what’s true…

  So the layman has to trust someone, and in our age of disinformation, someone isn’t necessarily trustworthy. So between the day to day struggles and constant indoctrination, I get why people just hear what they want to hear. Still doesn’t excuse it though.

  Some OCR called Claude? Or maybe Claude operated the software wrong?

  It’s called lobbyism here, so it’s okay.

  DLLS and similars are nice for running newer games on outdated hardware.

  Sadly it also enables studios to cheap out on optimization, you shouldn’t need upscaling for 1080p medium on a new GPU.

  The tube in the background is probably for the real repaste…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Germany, and by extension the EU, we have a website called “geizhals”, which basically translates to “penny-pincher”.

  It is an insanly good tool to find the specific item you’re looking for and where to buy it for the least amount of money. Its got a pretty robust search, and some of the most comprehensive filters I’ve ever seen. When I cant find what I’m looking for using Amazons search, which is nearly always, I use their site instead.

  Only real downside (for me) is when stuff isn’t listed on there. They probably collect data and stuff, but they also provide a useful service in return.

  While writing this I have also noticed that they offer the same thing called “skintflint” for the UK. Maybe something similar exists for ppl. in the U.S. ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dream job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You sent me down a little rabbit hole, depending on how one defines sedan, the lightest I could find is the Peel P50 at roughly 60 kg. A better fit weight wise could be the Isetta at roughly 350 kg.

  But neither option, including the robin feels like a proper sedan to me, and only the robin really checks the basic requirements.

  Afaik the term “sedan” doesn’t really define the amount of wheels, but I don’t tend to think of a three wheeled vehicle.

  So the first four wheeled sedan style car that came to mind was the Trabant, but that’s still 600kg.

  Idk what the point of this text is…

  Have a nice day, I guess?

  Well, they’d only need enough batteries to cover the distance without overhead lines. So for shortish sections it’s probably fine, just charge while on the powered section.
