They sleep in sleeping bags basically. I feel like you could zip yourself up, with or without a partner, and make it happen.

i get that this is just an edgy joke but the evidence that most computer programmers really wish they were antebellum south slaveowners continues to grow

They’re pretty neat. Since the molten salt core stays hot for a while after the sun goes down, in some high-output high-storage setups they’re cheaper than traditional PV panels + batteries while providing the same power.

[gaming laptops]'re desktop replacements and they’re just worse than a desktop in every way and cost more
Learned this the hard way when I was nineteen. Had a fat ass Alienware, top of the line everything, played Crysis, lasted about one day past the warranty and promptly died.
About four years ago I bought a laptop for work, an old Thinkpad. It was used when I got it and it’s still kicking. Runs a web browser just fine (and stuff like PuTTy and Teams) and can hang with indie games.
The only reason I would consider buying a laptop that’s more than a web browser/video streaming machine now is if I really needed to be able to use it as a tablet for art and stuff.

If this video exists, it is AI generated. It’s probably extremely obvious too, like it has a watermark that clearly states that it’s AI, but boomers like RFJ Jr are just that bad at distinguishing fiction from reality on the internet.

They did figure out the earth was round and measure its size with sticks and shadows though, so that’s pretty cool.
- Comment on PlayStation 5 Digital Edition with 1TB SSD downgraded to 825GB listed at the same price — CFI-2116 revision emerges overseas on Amazon 6 months ago:
FTA
The original PlayStation 5, colloquially referred to now as the PlayStation 5 Fat, was equipped with 825GB of internal storage, of which approximately 650GB was accessible to the user, depending on system updates and other variables. The shift to the PlayStation 5 Slim introduced numerous enhancements, including an increase to 1TB of storage, providing the user with approximately 850GB of available space (subject to similar factors).
The CFI-2116 revision, also known as “Chassis E,” marks the return of the 825GB SSD, which Sony advertises on the new packaging. Consumers are losing close to 200GB, or 24%, of usable, high-speed storage with the latest revision. You could argue that 200GB isn’t a lot, and that’s true in a way since some AAA titles — specifically, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War — are pushing over 300GB of installed size. But under normal circumstances, 200GB should be enough for one or two games.
Seems like Sony has a bunch of 825GB hard drives sitting around to me.

A guest on Space Ghost Coast to Coast put it best. “A plant out of place” is a weed, like an insect out of place is a pest. It’s a definition that centers ecology and targets invasive species.
