  MSI Thin 15 B13VE is the model. The only place I see it for $800 is Amazon at the moment.

  I got a Steam Deck LCD 64GB for $350 and then put a 1TB SSD in it, so like $430 total. I love the SD, but it’s just not worth double that. A gaming laptop with a 4050 goes for about $800 now, so the current pricing isn’t really that good of a deal even at today’s prices.

  And this is why Copilot failed. It’s bad enough watching a human do dumb shit on a computer, but having to watch a dipshit AI control your computer just takes it to a whole new level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily the best example in this post, but in general, I find I get downvoted a lot when I make a good faith comment in .ml posts where I think I’m agreeing and am trying to understand the topic further. Getting 20 downvotes kind of kills my motivation to engage any further, though, so I usually just delete my comment , shrug, and move on. I’ve gotten to the point where I try to avoid wasting my time and energy commenting on .ml posts in the first place.

  Maybe it’s just a different perspective on what a downvote means? To me, I’m generous with upvotes and withholding an upvote means I don’t find it interesting or disagree. I use downvotes sparingly for spam, trolling, comments made in bad faith, etc.

  In many cases, legit games have more malware (spyware, DRM, rootkits, etc.) and the cracked versions remove it. It’s annoying to pay for a game and it won’t work offline because the company wants to collect your data, but the cracked version does work offline.

  Everyone “being a billionaire” and having a huge pile of worthless metal won’t increase anyone’s standard of living to the same degree as nobody being a billionaire and nobody hoarding resources.

  Maybe try old.reddit.com?

  I first heard pizzle in Kingdom Come Deliverance: “Are you pulling my pizzle?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨phonetic alphabet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I find myself on the phone trying to spell something and come up with words that begin with each letter. Agreed that it’s a solved problem and everyone should just learn it.

  But SLS uses Space Shuttle engines and that landed in a runway.

  I thought it was a stereogram, but alas nothing popped out at me.

  NewPipe excels at this task.

  They’d probably like to come colonize our planet, but with 2x the gravity of Earth, I bet it’s hard to build a rocket that can actually get them into space, much less travel 1800 light years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a matter of motivation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The studies about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation suggest otherwise, and that monetary rewards can even have a negative impact on productivity and creativity. Ultimately, we want a society of intrinsically motivated people doing their best, most inspired work, not a society following financial incentives.

  I knew it!

  Glyphosate has also been linked to gluten intolerance: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3945755/

  Maybe at some point, all the “gluten free” products will switch to “glyphosate free”. Until then, I’ve been buying imported flour from Italy, where its use is significantly more regulated than here in the US, although not entirely banned.

  At least there would be more eye witnesses to help debunk Joan Rivers’ conspiracy theory.

  I learn best by reading anyway, so lectures were always a waste of my time.
