  Haven’t kept up with the Android ecosystem after moving to iOS. I hear GrapheneOS is working with Motorola to support an upcoming phone of theirs if you’re privacy minded (GrapheneOS) and don’t want a Pixel (only device it currently runs on)

  IT professionals may hate them, but software engineers tend to love them. Something about having a unix system with great performance and less fidgeting to get things working most of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to be an Apple hater, but switched ~4 years ago for some of the reasons you’ve given here.

  I handed my 2012 fat macbook pro down to my mom. Still kicking with 16 gigs of RAM since I upgraded it when I still had it. I myself got it for like a hundred or two hundred euros. It’s running on a newer MacOS than it officially supports with opencore. Yes, Linux will support devices even longer, but how many laptops have this kind of hardware longevity? Mostly just Thinkpads, but not all generations of those either. And SOME generations of Elitebooks, but not most of them. Bit of a survivorship bias on this one though, some of the 2010-2012 15" models had different forms of graphics chip failure, mine was 13".

  Android landscape is changing, but when I switched to iOS, you could get, for the same price, 3 years of Android updates for a flagship phone vs ~5-7 for iOS. But if you have an iPhone 8, you still got security updates in May despite not having had a new major version since 2022. That model is turning 9 this year.

  Android runs on non-Google devices too, so Google needs to make money off those by doing something other than selling hardware. iOS only runs on Apple devices, they’ve already made their money off each device. Not saying they’re absolute privacy champions, but they have a lot more to lose in terms of reputation if they were doing extensive spying on you 24/7.

  This all without even getting into the Apple Silicon chips. M1 when I had it was ridiculously fast and power efficient already.

  Then get iOS and run yt plus. Quite literally iOS users CAN still run adless youtube even though it’s a bit of a hack (refresh every 7 days via SideStore app on your phone unless you have a dev membership)

  Or the better solution if you care about privacy and freedom over convenience, get an Android phone with an openable bootloader. Preferably one that’s not a Pixel.

  Cloth seats aren’t expensive at wreckers. Leather should be resistant to it. Perforated leather? Gonna cost ya

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The bigger problem is, it’s not DIMMs. It’s in compute monster GPUs. And no, they’re not great for gaming either.

  The GPUs can be sold at auction but they’re not going in our PCS

  Only 5x when it’s sorta warm out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  3kW for 2 portables or 500 watts for a proper pump that has the same real world cooling power as 2 portable ACs

  I just cool the living room. I’ve also set up my PC there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re heat pumps by definition, just locked into operating one way

  Not my library card though. Only the capital city library has it in my country.

  One day I’ll do it but right now I’m too lazy to drive there.

  Any lancer or any evo specifically?

  Because the standard lancer is pretty boring

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m seeing the Acer for 2000 EUR with a 5060 and 16 gigs of RAM. You sure your prices aren’t from a few months ago or something? 5070/32GB is over 2300 and that’s not ever the 5070Ti.

  I’d be delighted to get socks tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite literally not how your comment reads to me. It reads as if your experience is that windows can use less but people will argue that it’s not possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh? He’s literally saying Linux is using way less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How much more once you add tax? EU prices have tax factored in already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨me looking at my 190 cm/110 kg daddy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly enough, I’m the opposite. Stopped lifting weights, cycling and all the other physical activity I used to do, gained 30 kilos over the next 5 years. Joy of going from being a student to having a depressing job.

  The grazing habit stayed and the body for sure forgot how to burn 5000 kcal a day so even if I ate less than I used to, I still gained weight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm doing my part⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The motors don’t but the drivetrains often do. Not for multiple gear ratios usually but to get a good ratio for it particular motor in the car. But IIRC some EVs do have two speed transmissions because high RPMs might not necessarily be the most efficient for an electric motor even if they can be reached.

  Except AI is less likely to get that wrong, humans tend to forget minute details even more than AI hallucinates them. Or rather, AI is more likely to get important things wrong than humans but humans are plenty capable of forgetting the unimportant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Map of all AI data center in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI data center or regular data center with some GPU compute?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Engine auto-off⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Two things: firstly, 48v integrated starter generator vs 12v starter. Secondly, newer cars I believe memorize where in the cam rotation they shut off so they can ignite almost immediately if the conditions are right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Engine auto-off⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a 3000 RPM idle once on my car (efi, not carb) and I was happy that day.

  We’d spent weeks replacing the engine. High idle was from cracked intake plenum but at least the car finally ran again. Plenum crack got stuffed promptly and then it idled normally.

  Sounds like his mom was consuming whatever material GPT 5 was trained off of.

  Also bad news is, despite all my attempts at indoctrination, my goblin still doesn’t act like a human being most of the time at age 2. It’s been interesting.
