Shit, with the way computer horsepower has improved over the years, how hard can it be to add a legacy Windows emulator or whatever WINE is, especially when you have the original source code available?

Guys, have you heard of this thing called Bitcoin? You can get a bunch of them for like $3, worth a try to see what happens!

Ok Boomer

I’m going to guess that those highways between metro areas, especially where speeds like that are even feasible (highest speed limit in the US is 85) are so remote and sparsely traveled that that’s not where the deaths are happening.

Oh no!

Anyway…

It’s a very interesting solution, especially when it doesn’t have a problem to accompany it, which is most of the time. Often companies are forcing it because others are using it and God forbid they miss out on the fad revolution!

The WHO hasn’t been RFK’ed, has it? I can’t keep the different organizations straight anymore. But also it’s not recommending beef tallow so I guess that’s a good sign.

Immediate edit from TFA:

Yeah, I guess I should have been clear that’s part of what I was thinking (although to be honest I’m mostly a schmuck who pays for a few streaming services and uses that)

What exactly would be the main choking point? Horsepower of the Pi to take that stored file and stream it to the client?

How about a Raspberry Pi? I’ve got one (Raspberry Pi 400) running my Home Automation setup with a couple USB 3.0 ports. Was thinking there’s gotta be some add-ons for Home Assistant to put some external storage to good use.

Don’t need anything too fancy. Just looking for some on-site backup and maybe some media storage

You don’t need to tell me what AI can’t do when I’m facetiously drawing attention to something that AI can’t do.

And that’s kind of my point… If these things are so smart that they’ll take over the world, but they can’t limit themselves to certain terms of service, are they really all they’re cracked up to be for their intended use?

So why can’t this awesome AI be stopped from being used in ways that violate the TOS?

Why do you think the criminals in the White House are doing it?

I understood the feeling OP mentioned and my tonsils were removed decades ago

I knew he’d try to move those goalposts when he said that as far as he’s concerned, the Hatians in Springfield were illegal (not that it needs to be said, but they weren’t).

Unfortunately eggs got expensive and people thought he’d fix that too.

If I don’t like them it’s probably because it’s scented and makes my allergies go nuts 😟

Maybe user replaceable phone batteries are making a comeback, but with the way my phone is pretty much sealed up I wouldn’t trust myself to not break it. I’d also be leery of a third-party replacement lithium battery of unknown quality (let’s be honest, that’s what you’ll probably end up with) charging right next to my head while I sleep. Saying that as someone whose friend had a lithium battery fire with her laptop.

Point is, the argument of “why would you try to save your battery by not using it when it has the same net effect of less battery?” is pretty short-sighted.

I keep my car charged to 80% to help with battery degradation, and here’s why:

• Most days, I don’t use more than 30% of my battery capacity (roughly 75 miles/120km). Even that’s high. I don’t care if that means I go from 100%->70% or 80%-50% when I’ll charge back up again overnight

• It’s not a permanent setting! If I do go on a longer trip, I’ll bring it back up to 100% and not sweat it!

From what I’ve heard, charging beyond 80% increases the degradation rate, meaning time spent at that level is an important part of the equation. If I keep my phone plugged in overnight and at my desk, I have a lot of time at full charge that I’m not really using, but if I know I’m flying that day or running errands all day I can pop it up to 100% and it will be a non-degraded 100%

I’ve had my S20 far longer than my car and never did limit its charge. It’s fine for me, but the battery is sure showing its age.

I remember when technology was fun and exciting.

And honestly, some of them do just translate (more or less). Like España vs Spain, pretty much any Spanish word that starts with es(consonant) drops the leading e when translated to English (estado, estudiante, and escuela for state, student, and school). We also don’t have the same o/a suffices. So that leaves spañ, except I don’t think any Spanish word ends with ñ (it makes a “ny” sound to bridge with the next letter, for those who don’t know) and Spain comes pretty darn close.

Not too mention that pronunciations and even alphabets are bound to change. Just how much do you want to stay authentic? Because if I start talking about عُمان (Google says that means Oman in Arabic, and looks about right from what I remember seeing on license plates there) I’m going to lose a lot of people.
