  The average user uses sleep mode and wakes from sleep. Sleep mode should be under 10w, or around $1/mo.

  well yes, but it’s profitable because customers continue to buy their products and services.

  the problem with blaming companies is none of them do this out of desire to hurt the environment. they do it to meet customer demand.

  as an example imagine if we all stopped buying gas from Shell. their environmental impact would plummet…and their competitors impact would go up as we continue to buy the same amount of gas from other companies

  eh…kinda. the upside to manual USB updates is you get to intentionally apply them and can decide not to if an update makes things worse like removing features or adding more ads and tracking.

  with automatic updates they can just silently update without your consent

  If anything the gap is bigger than ever as the top end shoes are basically performance enhancers like the nike airflys used to set most records…and their new vaporflys being banned in the Olympics.

  I guess it’s better than hyper expensive shoes just being a paying for a brand thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to port any N64 game to the PC in record time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s not a valid comparison really. this is an alternative to an emulator than a ROM.

  If you used this to compile a native version of space invaders that ran incorrectly it would be no worse than if you used an emulator to run space invaders that ran incorrectly. in either case you treat it as a bug in the emulator/recompiler and fix it and re run the process.

  Nobody is suggesting deleting their roms and keeping only the current copy of a recompiled game. I don’t think that would even work… as far as I know you still need the original ROM to load inside of the recompiled executable for the non-code assets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Batch cooking" how do you store meal for the second half of the week ?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the other reply covered the actual ranges and why it’s important, but in case it’s not obvious:

  You should never put hot food in the fridge. Particularly food with a lot of thermal mass like a bowl of soup or thick lasagna. While that would cool the food quicker than just leaving it out, the heat you’re adding is going to heat up the other items in your fridge and risk their safety. And since it will all eventually cool back down it will not be obvious what food was at unsafe temps or how long.

  the content being scraped is from users, they do not control what bots are added to servers.

  It’s much more like the Cambridge Analytics scandal in that users posted content that was shared with friends but not explicitly shared publicly, but those friends then granted a third party access to all of the data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees)⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the biggest downside imo is it can be hard to leave because you’ll feel more connected to everyone involved. but they won’t necessarily be able to pay you much more than you start at even if you do stay. and you’ll be spending that time on more or less the same tech stack which can limit your growth and make it harder when finding a new job later.

  id say it’s fine especially as an early job but strongly consider a new job after 2-4 years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨acceptable screws⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the only slightly justifiable use of slotted is something like the face plate on a light switch or power outlet, where it doesn’t have to be particularly tight and it’s nice you can remove it in a pinch with a fingernail or dime.

  … but really if someone came and replaced all of mine with torx I can’t say id complain, so its not like they’re good in that use case… just less awful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roku disables TVs and streaming devices until users consent to new terms⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if there was actual choice involved you might have a point but it doesn’t really matter what changes when you don’t have the ability to decline.

  but for the record I believe this update removed your right to legal recourse and forces you through binding arbitration, so yes, this one does have something worth being pissed about.
