Fixed battery and removal of headphone jack and SD card slots were 1000% anti-consumer practices designed to cost you more money and make your device lifespan as short as possible. I don’t see the battery problem going away - why enable your phone to last twice or three times as long when they can just force you to have to buy a new device when the battery is shot? At least we got our card slots and jacks back (mostly).

I am also salty that phones USED to have IR blasters and they don’t anymore. IR LEDs cost next to nothing, another feature that was amazing but thrown away to save 5c per unit.

1891 Cookie scientists: What if we classify this, instead of as cookie, as “fruit and cake”?

2024: Loophole finally exercised.

The Great Garbage Avalanche of 2505

Rosin

Which is also a type of cannabis concentrate, lol

The movie is “Don’t Look Up” for those who aren’t aware. It’s excellent. Watch it.

Just don’t get near the brontorock.

Holy FUCK, that’s crazy high!

They’re probably still bolting the loose panels back on.

Would you want to ride in that Boeing rattletrap? I wouldn’t.

Monkeys flinging shit: the science version

I’d eat it again. It was good. Just weird.

Thing with the weirdest flavor, or flavor of the weirdest thing?

Thing with the weirdest flavor: Durian. Fucking gross. Ate it by accident (was in a dish I ordered). It tasted exactly like papaya or mango soaked in mop bucket water for 2 days.

Flavor of the weirdest thing: Probably Escargot. That was garlic and snail flavored.

The first garbage album I ever bought. I agree with this. Along the same lines, I think Chumbawamba’s Tubthumper comes to mind. Besides “Tubthumpin” (I get kocked down), the rest of the album is actually really solid and still a good listen today.

Telegram added stories not too long ago and I feel the same way about that. It’s UI pollution we don’t want, and that we didn’t ask for, and that serves no real purpose.

Yeah no kidding, paying for unraid?

TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) keeps getting better, for free. It does most of the same tricks that the big boy appliances do, but with your commodity hardware, at no cost.

And it does all this exceedingly well. AND if you want… you can buy support. At your discretion.

Hard disks, WD/HGST.

I’ve had good luck with EMC and NetApp for enterprise solutions, Synology for SMB class NAS storage, and rely on TrueNAS/ZFS on supermicro hardware at home, which has been rock solid for years and years.

Type 1 runs on bare metal. You install it directly onto server hardware. Type 2 is an application (not an OS) lives inside an OS, regardless of whether that OS is a guest or a host, the hypervisor is a guest of that platform, and the VMs inside it are guests of that hypervisor.

I got to play Pong on one of those original, first edition cabinets. A local museum has one of the originals. It’s really cool!

In some cases it renders less in the game, making the game easier, too.

I would suggest that the stimulus was strong enough to condition after one trial, due to the repeat behavior.

It is a well defined psychological principle called Pavlovian response.
