As long as you’re venting it sufficiently you should be good
My setup can change the air in my apartment about 6 times per hour
But mine also runs double duty during the summer time (lease says no AC so it get HOT during the summer) to help cool it down after dark.

Also having a 3D printer. They typically belch a lot of particulates into the air while printing not to mention depending on the kind of hot end you have it can basically be the equivalent of burning a nonstick pan every time you print.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 1 week ago:
Totally understandable why you’d change career paths from farming to computer related things, that shit is hard AF and a nightmare.
Solar farms though are way easier than other kinds of farms though, in fact I’d say it’s closer to computer work than farm work.
Basically monitor output, keep the panels clean, and keep debris to a minimum around the panels. Oh and of course repairs, but without moving parts those repairs are gonna be happening less often than other kinds of power generation.

NGL I was excited to hear the news of official GrapheneOS devices coming, hopefully they won’t just be their flagship devices but the whole product stack.

With each passing year this comic ages more and more like wine.
- Comment on AI Is Destroying Grocery Supply Chains 3 weeks ago:
It’s like all those articles that read “The vehicle struck…” instead of “The driver struck…”, “A shooting then took place…” instead of “The officer then shot…”, etc, etc.
It’s a deflection of blame and whenever I see it it makes my blood boil.

One quick hack to make the shareholders happy with how much money you’ve been putting into a failing project: rename a successful one to the failing project’s name.
- Comment on Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early 2 months ago:
I’ve literally seen pants that have what looks like pockets but when you actually check there no actual pockets there. It’s like they cut the hole, made the folds, then stitched them closed.
It blows my mind!

asymptomatic long-COVID
The hell even is that? Asymptomatic means no symptoms. Long-COVID isn’t a contagious thing, it’s literally a description of the symptoms you have from having COVID and the long term effects.
God that makes my freaking blood boil.
Damn @BigBenis@lemmy.world that was a hell of a conversation you we having.
- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 5 months ago:
I support the elimination of copyright in it’s current form
The way it was initially was fine IMO: 14 years, with an option to renew it at the end of those 14 years. ONCE.
Now in terms of patenting medications, if it was partially paid for with public money it’s the public’s patent. In other words it’s open for everyone. Made a new medication but took a government grant to help fund it? It’s public when it comes out, enjoy a nice hearty reward check for your efforts.

I agree, my source? Every time I try to lift a cat off of my lap or off of a surface they’re not supposed to be on.

Don’t forget to donate to your favorite distro (and other open source projects) to help them keep the lights on.
Gotta do our part to fight the massive mega corps from devouring every aspect of our lives.

It captures them a shitton of data that they very likely sell or use to get advertisers on board.

They only did the right thing after getting caught openly doing the wrong thing, so I’d say I’d still be pissed.
They should have never put the system in place with such a simple vulnerability (which to me) says they take such a laxodasical approach to security that I wouldn’t trust them even now.

1-2 FPS‽ The horror! faints
Jokes aside I can more of a difference than that by simply forgetting to close a few tabs of YouTube before starting my games. Or even starting a game when my room is already hot.
1-2 FPS is basically a rounding error IMO.

“You should have driven this much after owning the car this long, so we’re going to put that in the odometer.”
Was my guess.
Probably to void warranties, make cars come back sooner for preventative maintenance, and come back sooner for leases.
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 11 months ago:
I’ve started using FreeCAD for CAD work, I’ve used Fusion 360 for 5 years before trying FreeCAD (again, I tried it a few years ago) and it works pretty good.
It’s different and it’s taking some getting used to but it’s working out quite nicely so far.

Slavery never ended in the US, it just got better PR.
“Only prisoners can be sentenced to slave labor.” Makes a while bunch of stuff punishable by prison time and makes prison sentences longer.
