My Internet is so bad that I still often watch YouTube/Nebula at 360p or even 240p. I almost never go above 720p.

What are good brands that don’t sell your data? Is TP-link okay?

No, I mean 500Mb/s, as my Internet will be 300Mb/s. My needs are not great.

I just extrapolate from NVMe SSDs which are currently ~$55 for 1TB, so ~$40 for 750GB = 1TB - 250GB. It’s really hard to find info about the true cost of internal storage on mobile devices.

Their 1TB version is $1600 because they get away with charging $400 for $40 worth of storage.

The license plates give away the fact that it’s AI. They should be legible but they’re not

This is honestly surprising to me. Wouldn’t they charge wealthy people more because they could just suck up the higher prices?

Funny enough, for local downloads of video game OSTs (which I like way too much), I’ve been recently turning to Steam of all things. Often cheaper than Bandcamp and DRM-free!

Recently I was using Ubuntu and needed to recall a terminal command I had used a couple weeks prior. Luckily, my terminal commands are logged in the ~/.bash_history text file. Easy, convenient, customizable, and no AI needed!

I’m hopeful for this! I’d be happy to pay for music if the price is reasonable and I know it’s going to the artists and not some dumb record label.

I didn’t even know it existed until I saw it in person, no idea they had tours!

During my long motorcycle road trip to the twisties, I saw this huge white structure looming distantly in front of me. I wondered what the heck it was, first thought it was some kind of coal processing thing and then thought it was a wind turbine under construction. But as I got closer, I saw that it was a freakishly large dish. During my next stop, I confirmed it was this telescope. Should’ve taken a picture of it.

Less reason to believe that it is than most cars that literally market themselves as connected

I got one used, and not specifically because it was curved, I just wanted a monitor and it was available for a good price. The curve is mild and the monitor is only 24" so I don’t notice it very much. The monitor feels a bit flatter to my eyes than my laptop screen due to field of vision.

I already have 2 monitors (including my laptop screen because I’m primarily on laptop) but recently I tried using Google Earth on a desktop with a fast i7-13700 and a 1440p monitor and it was so immersive. If each pixel was 100m, I could see 256km, all with minimal hiccups.

It reminded me I want a big 4k Monitor for this stuff, maybe even of TV size.

FedEx if you only need to print once in a blue moon…

This is the best advertisement for Victoria 3 (or other similar games). Now I want to get a game like this and experiment with messing with the economy.

What exactly is the point of this? By buying foreign products, you pay the US government in whatever import tariff as part of the cost. I’d rather support domestic American businesses over the US government.

It’s definitely overrated. Where I live a solid meal will set you back $12-$14, and it’s always super crowded and hence slow. Instead, I can just walk a few minutes, and get better chicken for cheaper ($10-$12) and faster at the local place.

The four horsemen of selling out:

• Big Pharma

• Big Oil

• The military-industrial complex

• Surveillance tech companies
