- Comment on Solar is now 41% cheaper than fossil fuels, UN report shows 1 day ago:
(Total cost of install + total expected maintenance + fuel costs) / expected lifespan
The catch is that solar is outliving the expected lifespan estimated and warranty periods which means things still tilt towards legacy fuels (doesn’t tip enough in their favor to make them less expensive though)
- Comment on 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. 4 days ago:
Because you live in America and need to get the video uploaded before a cop smashes the camera and SD card
- Comment on Firearm Advice 5 days ago:
Just gotta make sure your rifling spins the correct direction. Don’t want to tighten it further.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
The polyurethane spray foam insulation is orange.
- Comment on Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company 6 days ago:
Yeah some (formerly) local fiber companies started out as a way to get decent Internet in places the big ISPs wouldn’t touch. Some are still around, but many are getting sold off to the big telcos

- Comment on i did tho 1 week ago:
Oh yeah? Well my dissertation on automated weapons systems was able to defend itself.
Congrats tho.
- Comment on Satellite firm pauses imagery after revealing Iran's attacks on US bases 1 week ago:
Not completely pointless until Russia starts providing the intel to news organizations.
This isn’t about keeping Iran from seeing the damage, it’s to keep the public from seeing it.
- Comment on I never saw the twilight zone. To pick it up should I was the old vs new? Or is it much of a difference? 1 week ago:
So you don’t get bored, switch between the two, and maybe sprinkle in some outer limits too
- Comment on How to find a fan that blows 90° from intake? 1 week ago:
If you have a central furnace you can close the outlet vents on one floor of the home. Downstairs in the summer and upstairs in the winter. Most air conditioners actually tell you to close the downstairs vents to keep the upstairs cooler.

No, the one Austin tore down was the HP 14 with N4120 processor. The one you posted was the HP stream 14 with n150 processor and that doesn’t have a slot for nvme.

Less than $500? Fuck it, I’d wanna see where this goes, and fully fund it myself.

Nope, still wrong. It has an e key m.2 for Wi-Fi.
Put up, or shut up.
- Comment on Kyle and Jackie O’s controversial breakfast radio show taken off air after hosts fall out 2 weeks ago:
What? Jackie O died in the 90s and she was with Aristotle.
- Comment on Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo' 2 weeks ago:
Emmc is not nvme. They’re not compatible or interchangeable. You’ll be limited by the max emmc speeds for storage. It’s probably why it comes with an external drive, because they know just how slow the drive is.
- Comment on Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo' 2 weeks ago:
It’s a celery with a 128GB emmc. Even with 16GB of ram it’ll be so slow.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had one die, and just waited to replace it until I needed new tires. It was like $100 extra to replace all 4, so I don’t have to worry for another decade
- Comment on Forgive me, Doctor, for I have sinned: I haven't watched anything Trek in almost 2 months 2 weeks ago:
On top of becoming a mouthpiece of the trump administration, they’re using like $100 billion of Saudi money to buy WBDiscovery, so I think maximum persuasion would be accomplished by boycott.
- Comment on Evangelion Franchise Announces New Series 3 weeks ago:
Been quite a while since I watched Evangelion. Did they retcon Shinji jizz-hands or something?
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 3 weeks ago:
If memory serves, the wachowskis said Lawrence understood the reference/source material far better than the other actors, he’d still be Morpheus
- Comment on Better do it anyway, though 🤔 3 weeks ago:
No, no. They clearly need to inspect furious pimples. They look REAL angry
- Comment on Fuck it, put me on a list. I'm ready 3 weeks ago:
I thought it was a mishmash including but not limited to: Sen. Chuck Grassley (92) R-IA, Sen. Strom Thurmond (100 at death) R-SC, Sen. Mitch McConnell (84) R-KY
- Comment on Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious' 3 weeks ago:
Ok. So Kent’s LLM is a person. And Kent is practicing neuroscience on the LLM, which he believes is a person.
Is Kent licensed to practice medicine?
- Comment on US military leaders pressure Anthropic to bend Claude safeguards 3 weeks ago:
And killbots doesn’t refer to some hypothetical Boston Dynamics robot, it’s reaper drones.
- Comment on 'I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb': OpenClaw AI chose to 'speedrun' deleting Meta AI safety director's inbox due to a 'rookie error' 3 weeks ago:
Arm power efficiency, and unified ram at a fairly low price (at least compared to current ram pricing).
- Comment on xkcd #3211: Amperage 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m just imagining someone running multiple 0000 gauge (4 ought) cables in parallel to each outlet and switch, and then all back to the breaker box.

John Brown, if he’s fighting to free house elves.
