That’s the biggest thing. apt install xyz works on my N100 based box every time I expect it will, but it was always a crapshoot on a Pi.

English speaking? Pretty big. There’s also vast portions of the internet that are not in English, but if you don’t speak anything besides English, chances are you’re not going to come across it too much.

- Comment on Carnivores 1 month ago:
They can’t live in soil that’s got what they need because the nutrients burn the plants’ roots. They got so specialized for nutrient-poor bogs that they can’t live anywhere else.

If a bunch of enthusiasts are simply forgetting their basic post-OC troubleshooting and causing tons of RMAs… well that’s just funny.
- Comment on Powerful X-class solar flare slams Earth, triggering radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean 2 months ago:
The Carrington event was a big one. It is estimated to have been an X40 flare. This article is about an X1.1 flare. Telegraph poles caught fire. The auroras were so bright people woke up and started making breakfast even though it was the middle of the night. They were visible as far south as central Mexico! If we got hit by a Carrington scale flare today we would be repairing the power grid for the next half century.

- Comment on Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs? 3 months ago:
I’ve got a BeeLink N100 system that’s just a bit bigger than a NUC, has two 2.5Gb LAN ports and came with a 512gb nvme drive. Works a treat as a Jellyfin server with TONS of processor and ram headroom. N100 is a great little chip, so long as you’re not expecting i5+ power.

Given the lack of an inverter in GPT’s transcript there’s no AC to invert.

Power factor isn’t a thing in DC and GPT appears to have assumed a DC powered fridge.

Read it, it just made no sense so I took it as a sign that you were deprived of caffeine because your body had rejected the watery, weak bullshit that comes from the reusable pod.
I kid of course. Enjoy your coffee!

Yay, more plastic for your plastic machine that helps you create plastic waste!
Go get a small French press and a grinder, Keurig coffee is F tier.
- Comment on Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition PC specifications revealed, out March 21 3 months ago:
Honestly folks should just never pre-order. In the era of digital goods there’s no selling out the whole stock so there’s no rush to get in front of.

Someone once told me that when the car is going 100mph+ the tires stretch out and touch the road, providing full coverage. They could not answer how the tires maintained pressure while stretching that much nor how that provided any benefit that wouldn’t have been there with the tires on the ground to begin with.

- Comment on Ticketek ‘glitch’ appears to re-sell fan’s $659 ticket for Taylor Swift concert — “They said, ‘someone else has it, we don’t know who, we can’t check or track who has your ticket’” 4 months ago:
Bruh $200 for a show is still an absolute fleecing.
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro from a Young Earth Creationist's View 4 months ago:
TBH it sounds more like you are getting a little smug high off of a hypothetical situation with what would seem to be a caricature of a less educated, easily gulled person. Young Earthers can also enjoy Jurassic Park.
- Comment on Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ will start cracking down on password sharing | CNN Business 4 months ago:
Yo man let’s not go crazy, $300 a year would be on the high end of acceptable for that. The costs to keep more data available when you own the licenses are quite low as a percentage of total operations, so keeping old content up should be the norm instead of something to be lauded. You don’t get a cookie for base competency.

Also, heating elements. Which I guess are just durable incandescent lightbulbs.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 has won Steam's 2023 GOTY Award 5 months ago:
Did RDR2 get an update that freshens the game up? I thought Labor of Love was for things like Terraria where the devs keep updating the game over time. I would think that NMS of all titles would be more deserving, unless they have a rags-to-riches sort of award

The bakery does not know when the bread will mold, but they know it probably won’t start to for a certain number of days. The best by date is that day minus four to seven.

- Comment on Is it safe to use pans with peeling nonstick coating? 7 months ago:
Did you know that if you use Teflon pans in a house with pet birds they might die from the fumes? Since we historically used canaries to detect dangerous gasses in coal mines, might we take that as an indication that Teflon pans should not be used at all?
The scratched ones are bad and should not be used. Going forward you should ditch all your nonstick pans and buy cast iron or stainless steel.

People saw that video of the sea turtle with the straw in its nose and, rightfully, got mad. If only they also got mad about microplastics being inside everyone and everything.
