- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 21 hours ago:
Depends on how much you rely on it. If your contacts can’t phone or otherwise contact you for your new address, they’re gone.
If the services you use don’t mail you OTP codes on every log in, you can still log in using your old email and update it.
You can also contact customer support of some services and have them change it, using other ways to autheticate, e.g. physical letters with generated OTP codes.

you could get a cheap foam thermal mat and cut out the size you need. beware though, as it will roll up by itself when too small.

You’re right, there can be some, like the pins for power button and LEDs. But CPU, RAM, Power, SATA, the external ones on the backpane etc are all female.

- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 2 weeks ago:
it’s best when you look for a job while you still have the old one. however, in my region there’s mandatory unemployment ensurance that will pay enough to keep you afloat for a few months between jobs
- Comment on What OS/ OSs for a core2 quad? 2 weeks ago:
any linux will work with that, just a few demanding things like some games, running big VMs or editing gigantic videos or pictures could become a problem

I’m a shareholder and it’s worrying. The share’s aren’t going up any more and the dividends are laughable. It’s the top managers filling their pockets.
- Comment on Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST) 3 weeks ago:
btw, if you decide you want to use linux, build the PC for it. donpt build it now and then decide the OS. a lot of people have issues because they use linux with uncommon hardware meant for other OSes.
however, maybe try a liveUSB first. you can get used to it and decide if its for you.

- Comment on Massive E-Learning Platform Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over. 1 month ago:
there is no way they can use the AI to teach anything yet. AI lies like 30% of the time. idk what they will use it for; maybe for search, maybe to polish up presentation, but if they try and use it as a teacher it will fail spectacularly.
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 1 month ago:
Unfortunately a lot of hardware doesn’t fit into small phones yet. You can still get small Androids, but no NFC, wireless charging, fingerprint sensor, etc…
I’m writing this on a Samsung S10e, which is the smallest waterproof one with all the nice features I could get at the time. I can do most things one-handed, but need the one-handed mode to reach the 30% of the screen in top corner furthest away from my thumb. pic related:

Most Androids have a one-handed mode, where it shrinks the display into a corner, so you can reach everything with your thumb.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 1 month ago:
I bought a few mp3s off amazon (but it wasn’t amazon music, i think) and they had no DRM, just a unique ID3 tag. If it’s still like that, I can recommend it.

AFAIK, apart from drugs, only stress and malnutrition affects hair growth speed. Stress can increase cortisol levels, which can lead to faster hair growth, but chronic stress and malnutrition may lead to hair loss.

- Comment on Its a lot easier these looking at a beautiful person these days and not feeling a bit of jealousy know there is a decent chance they would vote for fascism. 1 month ago:
Then their beauty and your jealousy have nothing to do with their politic opinion and you’re just mixing up unrelated things in the OP
