  • Yeah, it's fine for now. If you're doing anything more than the absolute basic, you'll need 16+ now (on Win 11). Somewhat related, but my work computer was stuck, slow, and crashing at 99% utilization on 8GB until I added a card (my money). Now it stays around 85% on 16GB.

  • & also you probably know to spec it appropriately; most slow laptops I see have 8 gigs ram.

  • Amazon is responsible for the maintenance costs of the droids. Amazon is not responsible for the healthcare costs of the employees. That's why.

  • I guess I could install Ventoy on the raspberry Pi's SD card, but I prefer it to be bare, since the idea is to keep it simple.

  • +1 on wildcard addresses. Any 10 min mail site is also great for anything unimportant.

  • Check out Technology Connections on YouTube. Specifically this playlist on heat pumps.

    The only thing more efficient would be mechanized Solar shades and passive techniques.

  • My wild speculation:

    Viral snares/traps? Semi-permeable membrane + RNA; the virus gets in and binds to the RNA inside, then the viral package is "spent" on fake RNA that can't replicate. The MVP shell could keep regular cellular machinery away from the trap RNA. There are thousands of these vaults within the cell, as to create a bunch of "pits" that a virus could fall into, thus effectively slowing viral spread, even a little?

    edit: from a link in the article:

    vault protein somehow helps epithelial cells internalize P. aeruginosa, which in turn speeds the clearance of an infection. Compared to normal mice, for example, MVP-less mice were 3 times as likely to die when their lungs were infected with the bacterium

    This was mentioned as a hypothesis that was determined to be fruitless. Was this ever explored further? Different viruses, organ systems, etc.? Since it's in a lot of different organisms, maybe some common virus that affects many different species is affected by this.

    This is very interesting.

  • Depends how fast you do it.

  • It's important in the sense that if it's "just gang shit" then people think it's less random, and so they have some agency to avoid it, which makes it less scary. They're also not in social groups even close to gangs, so it's not something that would ever happen to them.

  • IIRC it doesn't do anything prevent tooth decay, it just doesn't cause it, unlike sugar and many other sugar substitutes.

  • 7-8% is the standard value used after taking inflation into account. It's really 10%, but inflation eats 3% yearly, on average. Using the metric this way also conveniently means that the value you calculate for the end of compounding (in 35 years) is interpretable in todays dollars.

    So 7% interest on 50$ monthly for 35 years means total principal of 21k$ and total of 83k$ (todays value).

  • Yay! Been waiting patiently.

  • I just had to book a flight.

    Frontier forces you to download an app now to check in (there is a well hidden option to do it on web, but the page never loads on laptop nor mobile in multiple browsers).

    I tried to rent a parking spot, and 2/4 places would not load quotes at all (again web and mobile and multiple browsers). I probably would've used one of the two that didn't load if their sites had worked. Their loss I guess.

    I’d just like it to not feel like each interaction I have with technology, and I guess by extension the world, is becoming increasingly adversarial. The tech itself seems to keep getting better though.

  • I think the best course of action is to find an cut the antenna or it's trace on the board (and verify). Sounds a lot easier than it is though.

    edit: or also pull the modem fuse, if it has one

  • Also, horse is bigger/more visible to cars, and maybe could be in the street. So you may not have to wait on traffic crossings as much depending on the area.

    I still choose e-bike because poo, but what a looney idea, I love it.

  • Amazing to see Hot Wheels change from gas to hybrid to EV over the years.

  • Nice, glad to help! And cool that you did Linguistics in school!

  • It is surprising that the presidential Democratic candidate finally lost a popular vote after 20+ years, but currently it appears that she just lost. Sure, do a recount of a sample of suspected precincts. I am going to continue to believe that this is a conspiracy theory until substantiated evidence of fraud is provided.

    As an aside, those images are small and I could barely read them (zooming didn't increase image size).
