Even if it does solve some problems (not that I concede that point), does it create more problems than it solves, and are the problems it creates larger than the ones it solves.

- Comment on Foldable solar panels 2 weeks ago:
I think they do make what you’re asking for, but they’re not great.
Printed solar panels exist, and are super light weight, but they’re only 10% as efficient as regular panels so you need 10x surface area to produce the same amount of electricity

No, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap. 2012-2013 would be my bare minimum, usb3 if only for loading a new OS.
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 5 weeks ago:
Couple years ago I wouldn’t have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn’t room for expansion cards
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 5 weeks ago:
Jonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.
matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 5 weeks ago:
It’s not impossible, but first Gen Ryzen was surprisingly good after AMD shit the bed for a few years. Most major manufacturers weren’t willing to take a chance, though you can find some 2nd Gen available on the used market.
If it were me, I’d look for a motherboard/CPU combo and assemble it into your case of choice. That way you aren’t stuck with the weird form-factors of pre-built office computers.
- Comment on "Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting 5 weeks ago:
If you’re ok buying used, I’d go for a first Gen Ryzen 8 core. They’re cheap as chips since they don’t support Windows 11, but the cpu is upgradable so you can upgrade if you need more power or want to run Windows 11. Also it’s a ddr4 platform so the ram is under $100 for 64gb.
A GTX 1050 would be fine for Plex, and discrete graphics would be required if you go with the Ryzen recommendation. I think rtx 3060 is probably the sweet spot for a 12gb vram card, but you won’t need that much unless your streaming to 5+ Plex users simultaneously.

- Comment on Britons could soon install balcony solar panels in flats and rental homes 5 weeks ago:
No. the devices on the circuit only pull as much electricity as they need, any unused back feed returns to the main panel/fusebox to be distributed to any other circuits currently using electricity. If there’s still any unused, it goes to the grid to be used.
- Comment on Britons could soon install balcony solar panels in flats and rental homes 5 weeks ago:
Unregistered as in you but the solar panel and inverter and just plug it into a regular wall outlet with a normal plug to back feed the house.
Before anyone suggests it’s a suicide cable, the inverter have grid sending and won’t back feed power without the grid electricity being sensed.

- Comment on Judge backs AI firm over use of copyrighted books 5 weeks ago:
Orcs and dwarves (with a v) are creations of Tolkien, if the fantasy stories include them, it’s a violation of copyright the same as including Mickey mouse.
My argument would have been to ask the ai for the bass line to Queen & David Bowie’s Under Pressure. Then refer to that as a reproduction of copyrighted material. But then again, AI companies probably have better lawyers than vanilla ice.
