- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 2 days ago:
Is there any comfortable way to bring up this topic without making me sound like a narcissist who assumed a guy wants to sleep with her just because he asked her out🥲.
I wouldn’t say you sound like a narcissist but this does sound immature. “He wants to sleep with you” and “he just wants to sleep with you” are two different things. It sounds to me that he likes you and wants to spend time with you, and maybe-probably also wants to sleep with you. Is that enough for you? It’s enough for some people, though obviously not for everyone. Either way, talk to him about it.

Oh I was going to suggest Mouser and DIgikey for most kinds of electrical stuff, but it sounds like you are after something different.

There was another one of these a day or two ago, where besides making fusion energy, the reactor was going to convert mercury to gold. Competition must be getting stiff.

600 euro, not so helpful. Thanks though.

I just want a comeback of phones with swappable batteries.

- Comment on Oncoliruses: LLM Viruses are the future and will be a pest, say good bye to decent tech. 1 week ago:
It’s a reference to A Fire Upon The Deep, an SF novel by Vernor Vinge. One way to describe it is that a superintelligent computer virus tries to take over the galaxy. It is great, try a web search.

Is that something like a “class II perversion”? For example the Straumli Blight.
- Comment on Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with? 1 week ago:
Calling women “females” instead of women, as if you were a frakking Ferengi, won’t endear you the interest of any sensible person.
But when it does work, the oo-mox makes it all worth it ;)

Pen and paper then. Too many computers.
- Comment on 6G mobile could divide the world 2 weeks ago:
Tldr? Why do we need 6g anyway? What is the benefit supposed to be? Not higher transfer speeds I hope. We need modes with better support for low power and weak signals. For low power, 2G is superior to everything that came after it.

- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 2 weeks ago:
There are foldable and flexible solar panels that go on a backpack. An umbrella would be kind of silly. What are you trying to do? How much power do you need?
Here is a 6.5 watt solar backpack though I robably wouldn’t buy it. It shoud be able to charge a 40WH USB power bank in a day or so. You never get the full rated power from solar cells.
- Comment on self hosted system for managing donations at museum 2 weeks ago:
How many of these donations are you processing per minute? Are they mostly cash, credit card, or what? If credit card, your payment processor likely has a category for donations, as well as different types of sale. These days they can usually email a receipt or print on on the payment terminal. I don’t see much self-hosted software in this.

- Comment on How do I deal with a very negative inner voice/second conscience that's constantly loud? It's like I have two different people in my head but they're both me, telling me opposite things endlessly. 3 weeks ago:
I think the stuff you’re describing is outside the range where we internet randos can give any concrete help. You’re doing the right thing in seeing professionals who have training in dealing with this stuff. I can only offer sympathy and best wishes. I find if I get agitated about something, I can often calm myself down with deep breathing. But I’m sure my experience is less intense than yours to start with, so I have no idea whether the same methods would help.
- Comment on Tape drive backups 3 weeks ago:
Tape is unfortunately uneconomical for regular people due to the drives costing so much, unless you get a used, older generation one.
How many GB’s do you mean? Maybe try some optical discs, BD-R at 25GB maybe.
Otherwise just rent some online storage. Hetzner Storage Box is cheap and Storage Share is only slightly less cheap, and has lots of sharing features (it’s really NextCloud).

- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t buy a Synology but either way I’d want a 5 or 6 bay for raid-6 with two parity drives. Going from 4 bay (raid 6 or 10) to 5 bay (raid 6) is 50% more user data for 25% more drives. I wouldn’t do raid 5 with drives of this size.
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 3 weeks ago:
Well, largest this week. And
Yeah, $800 isn’t a small chunk of change, but for a hard drive of this capacity, it’s monumentally cheap.
Nah, a 24TB is $300 and some 20TB’s are even lower $ per TB.
