I was also an early adopter (batch 2) I ended up buying a m2 macbook air to replace it because the thing overheated and down clocked to 200Mhz (yes megahertz, not gigahertz) constantly and it was unusable. It sits around unused, I can't even give it away to family because I don't want to hear complaints about it being unusable. I just don't trust framework to not have issues.

You don’t place any blame on the people that marketed and created that diet? Or the regulators who allowed that to happen? At a certain point people’s well being and health should come before a mega corporation’s profits. The whole world would be better off if unhealthy food was more strictly regulated. Children grow up not learning healthy eating habits that last into adult hood and some never learn them.

It may take another 10-20 years but I think this will eventually happen. I agree it’s criminal to permit marketing of this stuff. It took a very long time to get to this point with cigarettes but also realize that in other countries smoking is still a normal thing particularly Europe. Right now there is still a lot of money being made on producing super addictive junk food and therefore strong lobbying.

Mine overheats and throttles to 200MHz (yes… MHz), I no longer use it and I have to throttle the cpu in windows for it to be functional so it doesn’t overheat from web browsing and become nonfunctional.

I think that’s a little disingenuous, it already works for the rest of the world so of course they had time to implement it, grabbing where you live via an internal API and disabling functionality is easier to do than implementing a browser selection prompt and exposing possibly new APIs to new browsers.

Never Retire 2 years ago

Some people just never learned how to enjoy life and just exist, be it because of their demanding job or responsibilities or the toxic work cultures they spent decades in.

Notion Calendar 3 years ago

The example calendar they show makes me anxious and realize that even though I run my life from a calendar, I don’t want to micromanage my time to that extent. Even if I became incredibly productive through use of the product, I never want that kind of life.

This is step 1 of reversing car centricity in these areas. Believe it or not some people in Europe in their 30s don’t even know how to drive because it’s just not needed. When you require parking spots for housing you increase the distance between everything. Going places requires transport because you have all these god forsaken parking lots you have to traverse to get to your destination.

The server is matrix, you can host your own opensource official beeper bridges on your own matrix server and use your own matrix application. The official beeper cloud applications only talk to their matrix server, but everything the bridges do are end to end encrypted to your device via matrix so as long as you trust they do not log your messages or you run your own bridges they can’t read any of your messages.

I disagree, having properly densely designed cities means you don’t need that car. I stayed in a slum in Paris for a week, I was able to walk to the grocer and take the bus to the train station to go into downtown Paris. Car ownership doesn’t work in Paris because it’s designed to be walkable which necessitates less parking lots. Parking lots and parking spaces are things you have to walk past/through and are a big reason car dependent cities in America don’t work.

This is the one thing I really hate about American work culture. It really is pervasive throughout the economy, capitalism here optimizes for money over happiness and there just aren’t many companies that are willing to release their grip on you. My employer is now trying to transition to three days a week in the office and the reasoning is totally capitalistic even though it will most likely reduce overall happiness, they also will not approve a month off PTO even though it’s apparently unlimited, the reasoning was basically “we don’t work that way”.

So many things are wrong with American work culture and there’s nothing most people can do about it.

The point of this laptop is that you can upgrade the cpu/gpu. But I would wait a couple of generations for this.

I am a gen 1 batch 2 supporter and I stopped using mine after a year when the M2 Air came out. Mine is unusable since it throttles to 200Mhz under load and is difficult for it to recover. That load being normal software development or any game. It now sits running BOINC tasks at 80% CPU because it will throttle if I set it to 100% CPU.

The framework laptops definitely run hot, I gave up on mine because it would overheat several times a day throttling down to 200Mhz. It sits in a box unused now and I consider it ewaste, I don't have the time or patience to bother with it anymore. I reached out to support maybe 6+ months ago but I haven't finished following their instructions because the laptop was just so bad and I wasted so much time dealing with it that I don't care anymore.

I've got a maxed out ram M2 that I use for development.

I run Linux in Parallels with 16gb allocated and it runs great at around 50% memory pressure. MacOS compresses the memory that Linux doesn't use and it runs amazing.

We have slightly different use cases as I prefer developing in Linux as opposed to MacOS, but I'd imagine you would be fine depending on how actually memory intensive your containers are?

The thermal throttling the reviews complain about isn't a problem for me, though I prioritize power usage over raw power since I often run it off of solar.

When I lost 13kg I had the same problem, I put it all back on immediately - I had an insatiable hunger after losing the weight. I ended up losing it all over again 6ish months later but this time I was able to keep it off because I didn’t have the hunger. The only difference was I lost it doing keto for the last month and I ate way healthier.

I also run very hot and have a normal BMI now.

If you sync your library, it will wipe all your custom likes/dislikes for songs you sync manually via iTunes as well as wipe your smart playlists (blank them - until you sync your device to your computer again)

Therefore Apple Music is literally unusable if you have a large library of songs not on iTunes (like indie electronic stuff) and don’t want iTunes to identify them and switch them to Apple Music songs.

These are the types of videos that work well on YouTube unfortunately, the problem is deeper than hidden dislikes, I dislike videos liberally and block channels from being recommended to me constantly but, there is a never ending supply of crap to be recommended because crap performs well. I think the problem is with you - you have watched so many YouTube videos that you can instantly pattern match and see through the bs but YouTube incentivizes these types of videos because it takes a long time for people to realize how trash they are and so they do well, it takes wisdom to realize what a waste of time most content on the platform is.

When I watch YouTube now, I treat it differently, I consciously know that all the content is hot trash and I shouldn’t be watching any of it. I only watch YouTube when I’m exhausted and need to not think and relax.

It was snowing out and a shadowy figure appeared at the front glass door, my mom sees it, I see it, the dog sees it and goes nuts barking. The figure flees and follows the sidewalk, I watch it cross the entirety of the window and I immediately go to the front door and look for foot prints. There was nothing, it was actively snowing but not a heavy snow that would have been enough to cover foot prints in 10 seconds. I walked around testing it and could see my footprints just fine.
