It’s a great example with lots of talking points!

Yeah, it’s not quite that simple. One thing that really sucks is a lot of the tech, tuning and design that existed is not as simple as just making the thing again. Manufacturing equipment has to exist and experience making the thing has to exist. Take a look at the state of cassette.

There is only one company currently making cassette and there is no real way to get anything else besides the one model that they make. Even the highest end new cassette players use the same one because there is literally no other facility making them.

Compare any modern cassette to walkmans or really any handheld player from the 90s in terms of sound or even size and you will see everything from then is so much smaller and sounds way better.

The facility that makes the modern ones knows this and acknowledges it. It’s just the manufacturing does not exist anymore.

That is just tape.

CRTs are absolutely nuts in comparison. It will be a truly sad day that CRTs are no longer a thing you can find.

This.

Also containerization in general. Not just docker. This includes podman and LXC (which is probably your best bet if you want a full system in a container)

If you are starting with nothing then maybe a lithophane conversion on the photo

https://3dp.rocks/lithophane/ https://itslitho.com/ https://github.com/muldjord/lithomaker

Just some options. 3dp.rocks works well from my experience. That would at least give you a starting point. I’d see if there is some way you can scale it on the z axis of the features are point straight up to get more depth on what the lithophane provides.

There was pinephone pro. I had one but lost it when I moved across the country. I loved it but unfortunately it wasn’t something that I could rely on because of a lack of proper deep sleep. Legit only had like 4 hours screenoff per charge and the lack of a usable camera was a bit of a bummer. I haven’t tried it in a few years now. I miss it despite its complete lack of practicality.

Link Yes it was very real and it was very much Canada lol

That was a great little rabbit hole

I know it’s a meme sub but that happened back in 2020.

I’ve enjoyed kitty + zsh + oh-my-zsh with a nice long list of plugins that I quite enjoy for a while. It’s rock solid and very easy to configure/migrate to new machines. That plus zen-full tmux and lazyvim with its own set of customizations and plugins has been a complete modern mouse friendly env for both local and remote for me for years.

Fish is really great too. It gets you a modern shell with a lot of sensible features and defaults out of the box. I feel like it is a bit harder to customize and make your own. That is of course my opinion.

No matter what they say LLMs are not intelligent. AI is a a scam. It’s predictive algorithms on an incredible scale which in the right applications can be really amazing tools but this promise of agi, sentience and the claims of thoughts, feelings, emotions, hallucinations and yes intelligence… absolutely just a scam.

Agreed. Just point them to the repository. Cloning the repo and running the script is the barrier to entry here. If they can’t do that then reading it would do them no good either which means they have some learning to do.

Co-ownership is kind of a horrible idea overall. What happens when one of the 4 people wants to use the property as collateral for a loan?

Not to mention that this promotes increase in property costs without fixing the issue. If the norm is to continue pooling money between individuals then real estate can continue to raise prices. Then you just need 6 friends 10 friends 14 friends etc. we need a market crash and we need corporate residential ownership to be heavily regulated.

To those who are saying the price of things would be volatile because they are accepting crypto. That isn’t how buying things works. The asset is volatile. Not the cost of the thing you are buying.

Just try to check out a cart anywhere that allows for cryptocurrency payment. Mullvad is a place I can suggest. They even give you a discount for doing so.

Have any links or extra info on that?

Can confirm. Worked for a few years for authorized retail and they leaned pretty hard into it.

I love my steam controllers. Surprisingly where they shined best for me was in racing games. Single joystick was enough for steering. Trackpad+gyro was great for flicking to look around and if there is nos or boost in the game I would always map it to the button for full press on the trigger. Legitimately not an experience you could replicate with any other controller.

Lead back in gas isn’t that far fetched. I have heard older folks complain about the fact that leaded gas isn’t a thing anymore because “it keeps the engine cleaner”.

The picture I saw of it looks 100% like the standard practice of rebranding a terrible iPhone-like android device that could only be manufactured in China. Just take a look at “luxury” phones of the early 2020s. Absolutely 100% a scam by idiots for idiots.

It actually kinda makes sense if you’re looking at what is essential here. They probably don’t start at 1 they probably start at 3 Then hit 7 then 12 Then 17 then 20. Anything in between is that granular torque curve sweet spot for whatever reason they require it maybe if they are way overloaded or had to stop while at capacity while going uphill.

Filecoin showed promise as a nearly free option. I used to be a storage provider. Met a lot of other storage providers at conventions. The people involved were pretty alright. I haven’t interacted with the community in a few years though. Biggest problem I saw back then was a lack of a user friendly means of storing and retrieval. That might have changed now.

Whatever option you pick please make sure you encrypt your data before you send it off.
