Don't worry, it's all worth it so long as we can get braindead summaries we didn't ask for, pretend to be the 10x engineer we always wanted to be, and generate fake videos for internet points! (sarcastic rant over) Most…
I like those but am wary since it was reported to be prone to rollover when getting frisky with it. Was that much of a concern for you?
My favorite bike was an early aluminum framed Trek that I upgraded practically every part of myself. The bonded frame creaked but it rode great for thousands of miles. It got stolen and I haven't felt the same about…
I wonder how many sysadmin or adjacent careers that scene helped to foster. As a kid JP was a favorite of mine, and eventually I got into Linux as an older teen. That sequence cemented Unix as this mythical thing in my…
That would be nice! The ones I get stuck on are so obvious once the word is revealed that just a reshuffle of the letters would help. Maybe give the player 3 chances to re-scramble the letters.
I have a few containers at home and switched to podman, it was a pleasant surprise to see how how easy it was to drop it in as a replacement.
Yeah 9 times out of 10 I'd rather go to Popeyes. It is greasy but it's spiced well and I can't think of a single bland thing on their menu. I'll say though that the customer experience at Chick-fil-a is top notch, and…
Menu prices in the restaurant are ridiculous now. The only way I can stomach buying fast food is through deals on their apps, which I find very anti-consumer and predatory. It's also super annoying when you just want a…
That's my experience as well - my family had a 2600, but the Genesis was our first modern (for the time) game console. I remember fondly all the trips to the video rental store and flea market hoping to find games we…
I've still got my ouya, wonder if it still works. It was a fun idea, even though I mostly just used it as an emulator box. The controllers were neat but a bit janky, I always had issues w/ the batteries.
A series of booby traps based on a phonetic pattern would be hilarious. fog, dog, log, jog, hog, bog, pog, nog Enveloping fog Dogs and wild pigs set loose Log launches at you off a treadmill Trap door drops you into a…
A wooden battering ram from the ceiling does wonders. The fog&dog&log never fails.
This is an accurate take. From a tech perspective, AI and ML are great. It's a neat and successful experiment that has a lot to offer. The fact it's being pushed on all of us as this panacea for the cost of human effort…
He's fine with what it can do, he got it when he was 7. Some mobile games, music, streaming apps. It's about as cruel as the 10yo MacBook I gave my daughter when she was younger. She loved that thing.
We do this with my kids, but really it's only a side effect of my love of archaic technology and isn't really forced. My boys have their own walk-man cassette players, and I've made a bunch of mix tapes both for them…
Yeah that is a bit of a disappointing mislead with this being an article about retro-tech. I was hoping it was a display of some of the mix tapes or other peripherals they were using.
There's a line to toe - each kid is different, but with my daughter she went from a flip phone in middle school, to a smart phone in high school. We didn't turn on mobile data for her smart phone (hand me down pixel)…
20 years ago I was running linux as a desktop for fun. It certainly was not as easy to setup as Windows.
I recently built 2 mini PCs for my kids to play games on, and went with Bazzite. It was really surprising how put together it all is. The steam integration is seamless and it can play a ton of stuff even on an older NUC…
Thanks for sharing. It helps after seeing so many edgy "don't let the door hit you on the way out" type replies.
My oldest is on the tail end of Gen-Z and is vehemently anti-AI. This isn't a position I've been vocal about, she just kind of expressed her disdain for it one day. I've been in IT a while, and am more of an AI skeptic…
If you could increase rotation somehow and place a moon sizes object in it's orbit, maybe you could improve the magnetosphere and reduce volcanism by inducing plate tectonics.
Oh, I hadn't considered the waste of bio-compute modules. Will they need to nap as well? On that note, I'm so glad all my kids are past potty training.
This is where I'm at as well. I don't think we'll see true AGI until we go beyond silicon. It can't grow on it's own, and we'd burn the world down trying to get it to scale. A living bundle of neurons that can grow and…
That's a shame, I've always had a thing for Neo-Geo and SNK games. He won't get a cent when I play on my MVS carts on actual hardware, so there is that.
