I still like the old slashdot method where there were categories you could give to a comment. Was this insightful, or was it funny. I think the method has merits but I am not sure how well it scales as it is more complicated and requires the people moderating to give serious thought to WHY a comment is good or bad.

And this picture doesn’t show the more recent models with the mag lock power, hdmi, and sd card reader.

Type c ports are the best. I connect my monitor through one and it has a type ports on it for a wired keyboard and speakers.

Just Almond Joys and Mounds.

A hole would be something, this is NOTHING!

I hear electric cars all the time, they are not much quieter than an ice car. We don’t need to strap lawn mowers to our cars in the name of safety.

I already pay with my watch.

I don’t need anything that is between my phone and my laptop in size.

It says “Simon’s desk” which is the name of the guy making the post, which to me says he was testing the software from his desk.

When it is deployed, it would say “vaping detected in north stairwell” or whatever. They are not installing sensors on every desk.

I was thinking the same thing. The not wanting to know more is a really big red flag for me.

Can SteamOS be installed on a desktop or is it only for the handhelds?

I have an anecdote that says the opposite. I got the same fridge, washer, and dryer from LG when we moved in our house 10 years ago and have had no problems with any one of them. My wife hates that we got a model with the freezer as a drawer on the bottom and would have preferred a side by side but no problems with anything breaking.

Our Bosch dishwasher on the other hand had a gasket start leaking during the pandemic and it took the repair people 4 or 5 months to get a replacement in. I think they were redesigning a faulty part at the same time as all the supply chain issues so we had a really bad time with that. It was only a couple years old at the time and has worked ever since.

Reading this makes me want to find a Linux distribution that does not use the gnu stuff at all.

Good luck proving that your data came from meta sources after you paid.

How about if you have a destination, find me a rest area/restaurant/whatever that is on the route. Not just around somewhere.

Now we have murderers who just spent the last 1000 years reading philosophy books.

Tell that to my (nonexistent) off-site backup.

I’m mad that they did their broken implementation of sending control codes between devices that never works. I have to disable it on everything so that the correct input gets set.

And then they are killing the universal remote industry so there is nothing to replace it with.

My favorite thing is when banks don’t allow passwords that have spaces in them or are more than 12 characters long.

Honestly there should be a standard of what security means, like how passwords are stored and how TOTP is implemented, and if a bank doesn’t implement it then THEY are responsible for any “identity theft” that happens on their site, not the users.

I think my oven/stove can be connected. I have never tried because I don’t see the need to preheat my oven when I am not home.

This is what I do as well. I always have Firefox running and can easily search the extension for whatever password I need and it is just as easy to copy from there as opening another tool.

That being said the iOS app is great for when I am away from my laptop.

I would say that both osx and Linux are flavors of Unix, not that macs run Linux.
