Apparently PRS already took it to another level by threatening an employee for singing to herself at the store she worked at

- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 2 weeks ago:
Alec in his own video mentions that the issue isn’t that the Americium decays, but that the electronics themselves age and fail, which applies to both the ionization detectors and photoelectric detectors.
This is one of the things you just don’t wanna mess with, and from what I know some manufacturers are even beginning to make detector units with non-replaceable batteries, intended to be replaced whole when the battery dies after years of runtime, to make it impossible to keep using a detector after its rated lifetime.
- Comment on What actually happens in a DDOS attack? 5 weeks ago:
The Reddit hug of death is when someone posts a link in a big community and thousands of people visit it, generating so much traffic at once that, while legitimate, ends up having the same effect as an actual attack does of overloading a website and causing it to become unavailable. Has nothing to do with the Reddit app being hot garbage.

I bought a new laptop with 16 GB of DDR5 (8 GB soldered and 8 GB socketed) as it was super cheap for an 8840HS, and was planning to buy a 48 GB SODIMM for 120€ but held off on it for multiple reasons, thinking “it can wait and I can make do with less memory for now”
Yeah that 48 GB stick now costs 500€ which is just 50€ short of the entire laptop…
