- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 1 week ago:
It’s a bit of a bummer given the power of the machine it would be otherwise good in IT environments. The small size would allow a rack or stack of them. This one
featuredesign choice makes that not possible. It’s on purpose. - Comment on what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you? 10 months ago:
Your life, physical and then professional were both threatened. The things you mentioned aren’t little oopsies. These are well beyond normal. You describe being assaulted and abused. Those aren’t suck it up and learn situations. That isn’t a regular kind of problem. You should seek trauma counseling.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
This experience predates the AI fad.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
no and it’s ALL googles fault. It’s not a walled garden problem, It’s a google problem. I’m searching for specific items to buy and look for small shops with online presences. Google will NOT give me results for shops that don’t advertise with them. I can even type the name of the shop into the search. Sometimes Bing, sometimes duck duck go will give the results.
I can have the site open in one window and use another to type the description of an item I am looking at AND the name of the site I am searching on google and it’s like ‘Nope’ never heard of them. i have to type the url in to the search bar then it will return a link.
Now sponsored links pop up a plenty.
We are the product being sold to advertisers. Search is working as intended.
- Comment on Netflix Resumes Advertising on X After Elon Musk Controversy 10 months ago:
I’m considering it. Will certainly downgrade the service and let them know why. I normally don’t care as much as others but I see the 2024 election as a big thing and I don’t want to support services the directly finance insurrectionist communications.
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 10 months ago:
That seems like an odd thing to state. There are lots of wired headphones and ear buds of all prices and styles. Are you only looking in store or also online?
- Comment on Am I crazy, or are Americans going insane? 1 year ago:
“Am I just in a weird bubble where 95% of the people in my life are politically and philosophically dipshits?”
Yes. You are absolutely in the wrong places talking to the wrong people. It sounds like it is rubbing off on you.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 1 year ago:
$8 buys a container of instant coffee and a single cappuccino is $6.
I’d love Starbucks everyday.I drink instant coffee, because money.
Sort of like asking with restaurants around everywhere does anyone bother to cook. It’s awesome but cup noodles will hit the spot as well.
- Comment on Elon Musk says 'we dug our own grave' with the Cybertruck as he warns Tesla faces enormous production challenges 1 year ago:
So here is some information on where the 48v standard is coming from. microcontrollertips.com/what-is-the-ideal-etherne…
it’s new to Tesla but not automotive.
- Comment on Elon Musk says 'we dug our own grave' with the Cybertruck as he warns Tesla faces enormous production challenges 1 year ago:
48v is in automotive as well. Most of the cable manufacturers are using PoE Ethernet. Belden has product lines devoted to this. It vastly simplifies wiring all the systems of a car together.
- Comment on How do people afford the upfront cost of solar? 1 year ago:
They get less solar. If you only have 10k buy a 10k system. Systems can be expanded later on.
Otherwise people get loans.
- Comment on The Batshit Crazy Story Of The Day Elon Musk Decided To Personally Rip Servers Out Of A Sacramento Data Center 1 year ago:
It’s a total lack of the concept of scale. I’ve moved servers like this, but when decommissioning them. Things are different when running a corporate data center than when moving a home lab. He doesn’t grasp the difference, because he doesn’t understand the scale.
Running and moving one computer is different from 150k of them. Hooking them back up the the network without a plan or documentation must have been a challenge.
- Comment on Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold 1 year ago:
So this is exactly what the article is about and up to -4 f heat pumps are more efficient.
If your the son of an hvac guy maybe your information is based on older installed units. I had a heat pump installed in my fathers home in the northeast ( non coastal) and I was shocked it ran well all year. I had heard the some rumor that you had.
Technology advanced and facts change.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
Yes.
People always judge personal waste as something they don’t enjoy. It’s fun to hate on people who enjoy things.
I have never went but the people I know who go have been going so long that their kids are bringing their kids. It sounds like a great community event where most of the point is to meet the people who go there.
The desert is usually a good place to host a mass event since it is a flat large area. By definition rain is rare in a desert.
- Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything? 1 year ago:
They can help when your body is under stress,illness, dieting, moderate exercise. otherwise the don’t do much.
- Comment on Bruce Willis’ Wife Gives Blunt Update Amid His Dementia Battle: “I’m Not Good” 1 year ago:
It’s just a terrible situation. I feel for her and the family and I sincerely hope that she is using multiple home heath aids.
- Comment on Why do most religious conservatives support capitalist ideology? 1 year ago:
So I don’t agree with it , but it may have something to do with ‘work’ there is part of Christianity that assigns value to work and that work will be rewarded by god. They are supposed to be works of faith, but some sects of Christianity assigns value to all work.
So they see riches as a just reward from god for being hardworking and honest. They inherently see riches as a reward for good work and poverty as a punishment for lack of ethic. As well anyone can better their position and get rich by becoming more aligned with god. So bring rich is an outward manifestation of one’s reward from God.
This is a simplification and extrapolates out a bunch of things.
- Comment on Say goodbye to the name Twitter’s Bird. Elon Musk changing Twitter logo to ‘X’ 1 year ago:
These are both compelling arguments and it is difficult to know which side has the edge. What are the arguments both for and against deliberate destruction vs incompetence?
- Comment on I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) 1 year ago:
A president fomented a rebellion in the capitol of the United States to hold power. In the current landscape that statement alone makes me a leftist.
The words them selves have been so changed and loaded that it’s nearly impossible to even write a post about what I want to say. The political discourse around the ‘right’ has driven conservative politics right out of the conversation.
What passes for conservative politics is literally insane to me. There used to be some kind of agreement that there were problems and what the problems were. The main discourse was on how to solve the problems facing the America people.
The main effort of the ‘conservative’ discourse is no longer around solving shared issues. It seems to be centered around the idea of legislating ‘solutions.’ The idea seems to be to weaken all of the government checks and balances so that this can be achieved.
For an ‘classic’ conservative this is when I walk to keep checks , balances, voting rights, governmental oversight and freedom of religion. No conservative leaders are standing for this.
The voices in the Gop that had that kind of sanity focus have been sidelined and are all of the much older generations. That last semi-effective voice I heard from the right was Arnold Schwarzenegger speaking out against Trump,nazis and anti-antisemitism.
