Figure out how to add lights to the fan to create a low poly spinning racoon meme to be able to tolerate the room.
- Comment on iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air 1 month ago:
I have an X380, it’s pretty decent for what it is. Sure, there are plenty of things I’d change (ram slots instead of soldered, 3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratio for the touch screen, maybe a bit lighter) but later gens actually have a few of those improvements. It’s not really a great replacement for an ipad, but it’s a pretty decent work machine (provided you don’t need a ton of power or ram).

- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal cover 2 months ago:
More or less agree, pretty much predisposed to lightly used vehicles. While I’d argue that Teslas have a lot less maintenance than ice cars, the downside is I’ve heard that a lot is non-user serviceable, and any issues with the car are pretty hard to fix without going straight to Tesla. The drivetrain is supposed to last for ages though, so I suppose that is a definite plus. Evs have come a long way in the last couple of years, but the charging is still an issue, more than the range for a lot of people (myself included). I actually considered a Mini Cooper se which has a range of around 100 miles, but given I live in an apt the charging situation wasn’t really feasible. Honestly, rather than having major charging stations on interstate routes, it would make soo much more sense for the government to incentivize a lot of higher density housing to adopt low cost lv2 chargers.

Yep. I recently got a newish car (a first for me, grew up on beaters and was fine until I drove a newish miata), and a remember when talking with credit union’s officers that the new avg price for a lot of the loans they were seeing was around 50k, which just blew my mind.

Poor financial literacy, not really planning for the future, or thinking the reliability will make up for the extra cost. Either way, I suspect there’s plenty of people like that around the world, just that we have less public transport so most people actually need a car to get around (although most people would be better with beaters or just a couple years old sedan).

No, but we have a surprising of people who don’t see too much of an issue with taking out a 72-84 month loan on an 80k truck. (that probably is over 100k with interest and fees)
- Comment on Star Wars Outlaws Requires The Internet To Install It 2 months ago:
It’s only required for installation, can play offline. I know it’s not great for long term preservation, but tbh this isn’t the worst drm I’ve seen.
- Comment on Tesla scraps its plan for a $25,000 Model 2 EV 2 months ago:
A new one maybe, but the used ones are coming down in price pretty quickly. I’ve seen a few model 3s over the last few months at the $25k mark.
- Comment on Chinese schools testing 10,000 locally made RISC-V-ish PCs 2 months ago:
No gonna lie, this is really cool. While the efficiency isn’t great, for a first attempt these are surprisingly decent specs for what is effectively a mobile cpu. Their server level ones also are pretty decent, and while they aren’t really a match for the newest zen architecture, they are also a first attempt on an architecture that isn’t x86 or arm (some mix of risc v and mips).

Oh, that’s awful, where are the places that they are that cheap in the US, so I can totally not buy them there?
