  I tried a pair of earbuds with the same idea from AliExpress. They had the regular controls, but also worked as e.g. a camera remote. Very cool if it had done anything it was supposed to do consistently, but unfortunately it was not well-implemented. If the AirPods Pro 3 (which I was already strongly considering) have a case with a screen that isn’t much larger than the Pro 2 case, I’ll probably buy that model.

  I’ve met people who had enough but not too much. Never hurting for money, one vacation a year out of state but not out of the country, bought cars new but drove them for decades.

  People have tried to politely call attention to the climate crisis for decades. They were ignored. Sometimes, you have to be chaotic to get noticed.

  Thunberg’s solution has always been “listen to the experts who have been screaming at you for 50 years.” You don’t have to be an expert to care about things or to want to listen to people who are experts.

  In this case, Microsoft does own the IP (it bought Bethesda after Bethesda bought id), so they definitely didn’t legally steal it.

  The video works best if you play it straight, but it also looks like spam if you play it straight, so it’s hard to introduce to strangers who don’t know of BDG. You might have to share a playlist that starts with “Teaching Jake about the camcorder, Jan '97” or “Just One Day - 2winz^2 (Official Video)” to ease them into it.

  Agreed. I’d happily settle for 1GB/s, maybe even less, if I could get the random seek times, power usage, durability, and density of SSDs without paying through the nose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  which flash memory kinda sucks at.

  Au contraire, flash is amazing at random R/W compared to all previous non-volatile technologies. The fastest hard drives can do what, 4MB/s with 4k sectors, assuming a quarter rotation per random seek? And that’s still fantastic compared to optical media, which in turn is way better than tape.

  Obviously, volatile memory like SDRAM puts it to shame, but I’m a pretty big fan of being able to reboot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  15 GB/s is about on par with DDR3-1866. High-end DDR5 caa do well over triple that.

  And that’s not to mention the latency, which is the real point of RAM.

  He got snippy about someone PRing gender-neutral language, calling it “politically motivated.” His explanation was that they hadn’t sent previous PRs, which seems like a stupid reason to reject that one; some people are better with language than they are at code, so they’re more helpful fixing comments than fixing bugs.

  That said, trans people were never mentioned, and the fight for gender-neutral language long predates any significant public awareness of trans people; also, “meltdown” seems like an exaggeration. He was somewhat rude, but not completely unhinged.
