Really we as a society need to phase out philips screws yesterday.

Pozidriv to the rescue! (just kidding)

Not sure this is true for all of us. I bet many/some (unsure here) are told to use ai for their daily programming tasks.

how am I to make heavy use of frontier AI models if I can't easily buy a machine worth using it on?

You are not supposed to run them locally but to pay for them running somewhere else.

In Germany it's a common prejudice that people in southern Europe work less. Data shows otherwise: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/d...

This is a bug in the universe!

Is it? Couldn't it be a bug in our society/economy instead? What if nature wanted us to take some naps through the day and not just one period of sleep in the night? Waking up multiple times at night wouldn't hurt too much then.

There's not much difference between the keyboard of the X13 Gen 6 and the keyboard of the MacBook Pro M1. I own both devices. The keyboard of my T14s Gen 1 on the other hand is noticeably better.

I can access the site just fine from Germany. Tried Vodafone and Congstar but I don't use their DNS servers.

Same. This is the first time I feel the urge to hit the AI in the face. Unfortunately it doesn't have one.

neofetch is outdated. fastfetch is the new neofetch now.

"[…] or am I just going to get the obligatory “Switch to Linux”?"

You could try FreeBSD 15!

Same. Strong SAFe vibes. Hopefully I'll never have to 'work' in such a environment again.

Seriously can't tell if sarcastic or not.

Humans are super bad at drawing bikes: https://www.gianlucagimini.it/portfolio-item/velocipedia/

Does being bad at drawing bikes make a machine more intelligent/human?

Raspberry Pi Pico Bit-Bangs 100 Mbit/S Ethernet

Per Siemens? I'd prefer Ohm!

Yes it does. We could argue if it’s update or upgrade, but I think it’s clear what you mean.

I miss the default IKEA instruction to have two people for building even the tiniest piece of furniture.

Do you have a source for that five to seven years period? I skimmed your link but it does not seem to prove your point.

Sorry, this seriously is an honest question: Is there a typo in your post? Otherwise I must come to the conclusion that you suggest pronouncing JS as 'jiss'.

Their initial Sound Blasters made them my default choice in the 90’s, but by late 00’s I vowed to never buy them again, their hardware became overpriced, unreliable and they were user hostile.

If I remember correctly it was a SB Live's drivers that kept on crashing playing Quake 3 on my dual Celeron 533 MHz setup (Abit BP6). Had some mails going back and forth with the Creative support about this specific multi CPU setup and they rejected fixing their drivers because it totally was a niche back then. 18 year old me swore to never buy Creative again and I did so. Today I agree with the support's response but it quite upset me back then.

I guess they couldn't care less. A few people on a site called Cracker News read about this. Same on other platforms. There will be no measurable impact.

And even the T14s (gen 1) has a "cheap" trackpad with a plastic foil on top instead of a glass surface. The day before yesterday I did the upgrade from foil to glass on my T14s and it isn't the big leap I was hoping for. Sure, friction went down a bit but precession and gesture detection were good before already. The same upgrade on a T480s was a bigger improvement. Compared to my MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) the trackpads of my ThinkPads are always worse. Overall I'm in the same situation as the author of the article (if you substitute Arch for pop!_os with Cosmic) and totally agree with him.

I agree. To the downvoters: do you mind elaborating?

Did so. According to Josh and Katie most of the day was spent eating.

It's always the side you want to keep of course.

Can't exactly remember how I reacted to children noises before I had kids myself. But I must admit that nowadays noise from other kids makes me smile because 'not my problem'.

(I think this mechanism had a proper name but I cannot find it again).

Are you referring to the Strauss–Howe generational theory?

See, nobody really wants to pay taxes

Then my name must be Nobody.

Honest question: does this necessarily require the physical transport of gold?
