Great. Now what?
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 week ago:
I have not, does it work well?
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 week ago:
Looks like it was deprecated last year, though
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 week ago:
Looks interesting, I’ll check it out
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 week ago:
I tested it at work (we used Obsidian for a while to build an IT Knowledgebase but since moved away from it) and it really couldn’t be simpler.
The main thing that keeps me from trying it is that in other to pay with PayPal you have to use some janky workarounds… As soon as they figure that out I’ll absolutely consider it

I like the Markdown-based approach but Sync is way to expensive for my use-case…
- Comment on The End of an Era: Exploring the Final Sony MiniDisc Walkman Models 2 weeks ago:
It’s so frustrating that every even remotely interesting thing from the past is now part of its own collector scene… You can’t find decent models for less than 100€ and even then they don’t come with their proprietary battery. Net-MD ones cost even more (without Net-MD you need to spend even more on a HI-FI MD deck to copy tracks over).
The model pictured it one of the later Hi-MD machines that are just Unobtainium these days.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 2 weeks ago:
They don’t care.
- Comment on Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site 2 weeks ago:
If it’s a hard drive with moving parts the chances of it still working are zero. Data recovery maybe possible if the platters are still somewhat intact but I doubt he’d even find it to begin with.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 3 weeks ago:
With a Spigen Tough Armor case, right? Had one on my 6 Pro, too.
When you consider the 9 Pro’s screen to body ratio it’s pretty compact, especially for a flagship. Ten years ago a phone of its size would have maybe had a 5" screen.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 3 weeks ago:
I went from a Pixel 6 Pro (I believe the one on the right might be a Pixel 6 Pro as well) to a Pixel 9 Pro recently and it’s just about the perfect size for a phone IMO (6.3").

Kraft durch Freude
Nice, how about “Cars enabling Freedom” or “Autos machen frei”?
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 3 weeks ago:
Look out, maybe you can soon dig up your own Cybertruck at a Texas quarry…
- Comment on No need to worry about a GTA 6 delay just yet, suggests Rockstar insider 4 weeks ago:
If they’ll actually release GTA VI on the announced date I will buy a hat and eat it.
- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 5 weeks ago:
I think they mean that it didn’t get worse following the 3G shutdown. Conveniently ignoring all the phones that now get no signal whatsoever.
- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 5 weeks ago:
Have you tried a Vodafone SIM? I’ve heard they’re less strict with their blocking.
- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 5 weeks ago:
Not to mention the thousands of phones that would be VoLTE capable but are blocked regardless…
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 1 month ago:
The latest XPS laptops really seem like they wanted to copy MacBook Pros from a few years ago with the touch function keys and the barren I/O.
I never really understood the purpose of the XPS line anyway. If you want performance, buy a Precision; if you want a light robust laptop with decent I/O, get a Latitude; if you want a MacBook, get a MacBook.
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund 1 month ago:
He’s totally not doing it to get Trumpf to like him. No no, he’s just an idiot.
- Comment on What do you want for Christmas? 2 months ago:
I just wanna be by myself and not forced to pretend that I like doing stuff with my family…
- Comment on Big, beige ’80s PC case started out as a joke, but it’s becoming real in Japan 3 months ago:
I’d much rather have a modern take on a 90s AT InWin case or something. Rock solid, tons of I/O options and very tall.

its just a deer
Deer are people too…
- Comment on Dropping an iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Down Crazy Spiral Staircase 100 Feet - Will It Survive? 4 months ago:
they are definitely a recommendation to buy for people like me.
Drop tests never yield realistic results (even non-sensationalist ones) because there are about a million different ways to drop a phone.
Get a decent case, that’s the best advice anyone could give you.
- Comment on Dropping an iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Down Crazy Spiral Staircase 100 Feet - Will It Survive? 4 months ago:
I mean, yeah I guess? But then everyone would be into the same music and that would be kinda boring.
My question was why some people find these tech destruction videos entertaining and I thought that you, as someone who posted a link to one to a technology board, could give your opinion on that but apparently not.
- Comment on Dropping an iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Down Crazy Spiral Staircase 100 Feet - Will It Survive? 4 months ago:
How?
- Comment on Dropping an iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro Down Crazy Spiral Staircase 100 Feet - Will It Survive? 4 months ago:
People still watch these? Why?

How involved in the making of PayPal was he anyway?

From what I’ve heard the leak includes beta builds of HG and SS and some older beta sprites

That should be the header image for c/blunderyears
- Comment on The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly 4 months ago:
I wonder how much will Arch-derivative distros like Manjaro or EndeavourOS will benefit from this, aside from Proton improvements.
