My sister has that snap 4 luxe type item from Amazon and it definitely has such a strong magnet that even attached to the case, it will stay stuck on the wireless charger haha, but I doubt the peltier cooling as effective at keeping it cool because the case is quite thick with snap 4 luxe increasing thickness too. While for my case less phone with only the slim magsafe ring, it is working really effectively at cooling the phone.

I tried those slim frameless cases that had a magsafe ring embedded, too. Unfortunately they were a complete failure. One issue is that they break on the corner that has the S-pen, and one case in particular would fail to stay attached on the phone properly. I wish they were made properly but they were epic fails.(The other case had a metal plate for the magsafe notch, fails at preventing product from twisting)

I looked at those frameless types but they are made of metal and would affect wireless performance. on top of that the design made me feel uneasy.

I personally went without a case myself and also decided against putting anything on the phone except the ESR magnetic ring to make my s25 ultra able to attach to magsafe products.(Small dab of Loctite glass glue to keep it from popping off with the magsafe products or just slide off the product instead of straight popping it off)

I agree on it helping the phone keep cooler without the case. I even got one of those peltier cooling qi2 wireless chargers to make the phone extra cool when I am driving.

Its a bit annoying to think a bit more on where I place my phone down or holding it but at least I am making sure I am using the phone and placing it in places that will not lose it.

I am thinking of the nothing CMF phone 2 rn

Get the loctite glass glue and place a few dots around to help with adhesion but nott too much that it is permanent when you want to remove it.

I personally sprung for the ESR magsafe hololock ring because I wanted it to be as flush as possible on my Samsung S25 Ultra. Being slim but still help with attaching to magsafe products is nice, especially since I live in a place that gets hot, I bought a qi2 car charger that has a peltier cooling unit in it. Phone is ice cold when I slide it off the charger

Side note:
popping it perpendicular to the surface has shown me that without the loctite glass glue, the ESR magnet ring will stay on the charger. So I just make sure to slide it off horizontally.

Wait doesn’t the cyber truck had an issue where it was possible for it to rust? Not to mention the unreasonably large glass windshield that would be expensive to replace?

I run a personal dnsmasq just for dns resolving/routing. It integrates well with Networkmanager. Easy to work with and very reliable to have the DNS resolution and routing be handled by dnsmasq. Single command to reload NetworkManager which also reloads the integrated dnsmasq. I like it and it offers a lot of control for me. I hate having to use the hosts file for when I am connecting to labs via VPN with their own network. dnsmasq is way better at handling subdomains than the hosts file and it feels way more reliable than just hoping the minimal DNS routing system works properly.

You should try to min-max your weekend but instead shift what your expectations are for the min-max. Planning ahead of the weekend is good to reduce anxiety over what you are doing at each minute of the weekend. You plan it out and stick to it. If something comes up that fucks the plan up, then simply it was just not meant to be. Do plan out moments where you are resting too, because if you are planning to do tasks, then you should plan when there is a clear time to rest. Usually tasks happen between times of rest. So plan those rest times accordingly, as those are the only moments when your body can repair and do what it needs to do to keep you healthy. Good luck

Many LLM operations rely on fast memory and gpus seem to have that. Even though their memory is soldered and vbios is practically a black box that is tightly controlled. Nothing on a GPU is modular or repairable without soldering skills(and tools).

I think the biggest limiting factor for your mini PC will always be the VRAM and any workload that enjoys that fast RAM speed. Really, I think this mini PC from framework is only sensible for certain workloads. It was poised as a mobile chip and certainly is majorly power efficient. On the other hand I don’t think it is for large scaling but more for testing at home or working at home on the cheap. It isn’t something I expected from framework though as I expected them to maintain modularity and the only modularity here is the little USB cards and the 3D printed front panel designs lol

Edit
Personally I am in that niche market of high RAM speed. Also, access to high VRAM for occasional LLM testing. Though it is an AMD and I don’t know if am comfortable switching from Nvidia for that workload just yet. Renting a GPU is just barely cheap enough.

Honestly as someone who partakes in some cyber security challenges for fun, there are plenty of weird things that programmers or doc writers never ever consider but other times the docs are so barebones that it is worthless to read. And a high word count does not always mean the doc is useful when all the text is either ai generated slop, or a lot of high level ideations that don’t get into how to work it.

I know right, they are cheaping out because why bother subsidizing new bikes when trading in an old bike? Just sell a cheap shittier e bike. If only the citizens were able to pay the government some cash to help make their community more safe and better than before. /s

It felt better knowing you can be without the internet, now we all stay connected for better or for worse.

I deleted my other comment because dogs jumped on me and somehow in the mix up, I pressed the post button, so I removed the partially malformed comment.

On the first topic, your reasoning to differentiate what the goals of competitive games and “chasing higher something” is just not well put into words here. From what I am reading, you tried to make them look different on the higher level view but failed to showcase that, which for both sides you claim one is competitive and the other side is not competitive. However, most definitions for being competitive is to chase ever higher “somethings” for which is mostly points but in other aspects can be money. Hence your reasoning has basically equated them even more deeply. So your point to make them different needs to be redone with that can make your point more clear and is reasonably opposites.

Moving on, I didn’t agree completely that playing with cash is strictly adult. More or less, anything that requires express consent, such as decisions that involve risk of self hurting activities (playing with cash is one of these activities because of our dependency on money), and other adult topics that are not relevant here. There are things that kids can buy to play games for or gain cosmetics for RP or whatever, however I understand the problem will be account selling shenanigans, but that at least raises the bar on barrier of entry too, and most not doing it. Kids need to learn to be less impulsive and I think that is more of what is the root of the problem in this case. We need regulations that would punish companies that try to exploit this.

Yeah, gateway drugs… Look, I know that actual hard to quit drugs are not close to the same as these psychological only addictive activities. Physical withdrawal from those drugs are miles more deadly and impactful on someone’s body and brain. I do think people can take some addictions too far but those cases are more likely to be popular in the news than the more tame stories that highlight what the majority will experience. I am still adamant that balatro is no where close to this topic. It is not able to transition you to something else and this is more on an individual basis and not really generalizable. If someone is being socially pressured by friends or others to do it then balatro will better prepare someone to not make bigger mistakes, so in reality it has a positive than a negative.

This is why I have a hard time reasoning with you on this. I will like to move on, so I will end it here. I feel like we have made our points and we will decide for our own. When it comes down to it, I will more than likely vote for any regulation to pass on restricting gambling and other forms of negative addictions, while weighing in any freedoms that may be reduced or affected. We will see, happy holidays.

at the end of the day, problems are at different views here. I find games are very similar in many aspects, such as relying heavily on RNG to make outcomes varied. If normal no cash poker is adult, then games like uno and other forms of RNG based games like rolling dice can just as much be adult from your reasoning. I am not particular to labeling games in this way.

there are many more nuances to labeling as adult oriented, such as ability to cause oneself to be worse off in life to the point that it is harmful (like losing your life savings or going into debt) or the content is sexual. that is what I would consider requirement for labeling as adult. I personally think anything that is tied with cash should be labeled as adult. yet, right now, this line is heavily blurred by microtransactions, lootboxes, cosmetics, in game currency and other ways to play with cash.

Playing with cash should be adult, but in game cash you cannot sell or buy is not something I think I can equate here because I see it as another incremental simulator kind of game, like many idle games are like now a days.

I think there are dynamics at play her but to keep it short. I admire your steadfast disappointment towards gambling or playing with odds. However, for a game like balatro being completely free to continue playing after the initial purchase. As far as I can tell, there are no micro transactions or push for players to sink their wallets into the game. The entire game is basically a simulation. All randomizations are predetermined based on a seed. You can set it or you can figure it out if you are smart enough in math and cryptography. However, ratings are more annoyance than being a real guard against the real problems happening right now.

There are many more dissatisfying things. I doubt we should fight over the rating. Instead we should be in agreement that gambling and other pay to play odds like loot boxes is bad and stricter regulations.

I have seen people burn money in games just as much as some who has gambling problems. Just one has the person expectations being hoping if earning more to continue to gamble with, while gamers who spend cash are looking for more extrinsic values that are still just as useless or not worth it. I do say these game devs are more deserving of the cash but loot boxes exist and others forms of gambling that gets a blind eye. Balatro isn’t even real cash. It’s not the same.

Only concept/idea that offers this benefit rn is just having a healthy competitive market that sees companies not form into a monolopy or structured in a way that allows for each one to set prices to higher amounts because everyone else is doing it. looking at how Intel is struggling rn to stay relevant and they are entering the GPU market with some very competitive mid range options that outperform Nvidia and AMD on common consumer tasks, while still offering their own blend of AI cores for new tasks that we will likely start having in the coming future. All this and Intel is offering these mid-range cards at 60% of the cost to the closest competition. While I enjoy seeing this, I am annoyed this is the only way we can see prices lower. We really need to come together as a community and push prices to more reasonable levels.

Inflation is insane right now and it is mainly what is annoying me the most about people thinking UBI would even help prevent it from being irrelevant once companies realize they can just charge more for the same identical/marginally improved product. I see the floor for prices steadily increase and UBI will just cause it to rise up to the point that the UBI benefit is worthless as the purchasing power is decreased to the point of a single dollar being worth less than what a penny used to be.

I agree, and I think the best service we have but is being overshadowed by Amazon is the US Post service. It really needs a push to modernize.

I also think instead of UBI, anything that is a basic need will be taxed based on a progressive schedule instead of a flat percentage. That way if they try to make it more expensive then it will be taxed too much to be viable. We need to combat this inflation and make it so that a lower priced item is more profitable!

Why are you under the impression that UBS will not pay for those services?

The US Post service is the biggest UBS that most Americans pay with taxes. Those who can’t afford or can’t make money to pay taxes or otherwise still benefit from it as “free”

You seem to think it doesn’t exist or will not work. Yet it does. Libraries exist, public transportation exists. People needs can be met.
