I’m only going to focus on one part because it shows the disconnect between you and I.
If you have a working printer, toner, paper…
Who said anything about a printer? I said hard copy. Not printout. Write it down. Carve it into rock or shape it in clay. 3000 cycles and you keep limiting yourself. That 200 pounds of copper wire could be pounded flat and marked with a sharp tool to create a long lasting hard copy. So many options for a hard copy and you defaulted to the one option we can’t even get to work when everything is working.

90% of people would die within the first three months because they don’t know how to cook and we have a three day supply rule in stores relying on just-in-time delivery.
If you make it past the first 90 you probably have seeds in the ground to get you to the next 90. We don’t just inherit the environment, we shape it. We can start growing our own food within weeks, not reliant on ancestors
But let’s get back to the topic. 3000 charge cycles, your number, is a lot. All that time can be used to make hard copies of essential information. You can learn how to salvage wire and build new energy sources. An average 2100²ft empty house has almost 200 pounds of copper wire in the walls. 3000 cycles to learn.
But thanks for telling me who I am and what skills I already have.

The average hunter gatherer only worked for about 3-6 hours a day. They had more free time than we do.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 3 days ago:
Point is that 3000 cycles is more than enough time to find or make a replacement even if society doesn’t rebuild.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 4 days ago:
That’s… a lot of cycles. That’s almost a decade. Plenty of time to build an electric generator from scratch by traveling on foot to a copper mine and smelting the wire yourself. Unless you manage to pull an alternator from a car that can’t find gasoline and save yourself the trip. From that you could make a gravity battery or any number of other options.

The average laptop is 65W. So the 40 amp solar battery station I built with a 100w panel could run a laptop 7 hours a day without any issues at all. Plenty of time to get actionable information out of it.

The Amish are not self-sufficient. They are self-reliant. And it takes a minimum of 50 families for them to have a functioning community. What you’re describing is more of a frontiersman.
- Comment on Nintendo issues Switch 2 supply warning in Japan: 2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations. 6 days ago:
How many of those orders are Americans trying to get around import restrictions and tariffs?
- Comment on YouTube, Amazon and Meta sign up to sponsor White House Easter Egg Roll 1 week ago:
Corporate sponsorship of luxury foods for people that can already afford to buy them.
Note for those reading this years from now. Eggs were the reproductive cells of birds. They would be eaten as a source of cheap protein and used in baked goods.

- Comment on AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say 2 weeks ago:
Also companies understand that to create a senior dev they need a junior dev they can train.
We live in a world where every company wants people that can hit the ground running, requires 5 years of experience for an entry level job on a language that’s only been out for three years. On the job training died long ago.
- Comment on AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say 2 weeks ago:
But the only way to learn debugging is to have experience coding. So if we let AI do the coding then all the entry level coding jobs go away and no one learns to debug.
This isn’t just a code thing. This is all kinds of professions. AI will kill the entry level which will prevent new people from getting experience which will have downstream effects throughout entire industries.

Now this loophole will make sure everything is a cell phone or computer. Every toy will suddenly have gps a gig of ram and a touch screen. Micromachines are going to be lit.

You expect me to remember 25 years ago?
- Comment on The rise of ‘Frankenstein’ laptops in New Delhi’s repair markets 2 weeks ago:
If you recognize that then you were a slashdoter. Once a slashdoter always a slashdoter.

Fair. But if I showed just one oat no one would have gotten it.
- Comment on Bring Trek into everything 3 weeks ago:
If I made any Hobbit reference I apologize as it was not intended. I know how to recognize a reference but I don’t know enough of the culture to make them. It’s like knowing how to spot a tweaker but not being able to act or think like one.

I prefer a more diplomatic approach. Where did I leave my chorus?

He only cares about laws when he wants to. He literally controls the internet over their head with Starlink. He could have uncensored Twitter on there and FYIWDWYTM. He isn’t powerless. He is, once again, selectively deciding who gets free speech.

I intentionally avoided doing this with a dog because I knew a chicken was more likely to cause an error. You would think that it would have known that man is a fatherless biped and avoided this error.
