Calculators. Why use the Google calculator, when there’s one pre-installed in every device you own.

Oh I remember my dad’s Toyota having them in the seat headrests. The screens were pretty crappy since the connection was over composite

I wouldn’t say my hostnames are very creative, but they all have some kind of backstory.

Main desktop: POwOful
It’s a pretty powerful desktop, so why not call it that :)

Laptop: LenOwO
Can you guess the laptop brand?

Server 1: Shitbox
It’s my first server box I ever built, so it’s underpowered and pretty shitty.

Server 2: Stowage
My proper server with actual data parity, and it’s pretty powerful

Server 3: Jank
This one is another shitmix of hardware with random harddrives in raid 0. I am aware that they’ll die at some point, and all of that data stored on it will be lost, so i use it as temporary storage whenever I need to copy something from one machine to another.

Robot vacuum: suckywucky
Yea…

About 3 years ago, I was looking for emeralds at a closed emerald mine when I had the brilliant idea of hitting a random rock with my pickaxe. Turns out the rock was harder than the pickaxe, so a piece of the metal broke off and flew into my finger. I was 10s of hours away from any hospitals, and the metal curved around the bone of my finger, so I had to take my dad’s camping knife and cut the thing out. This was at a camping spot, so I had running water, but it wasn’t easy.

Aren’t pretty much all storefronts searchable, or is it a Europe thing?

I shop primarily local and find stores with ddg/Google/Google maps. I live in a country where Amazon doesn’t exist, and shipping takes at least 3-7 days, so I’ve always bought stuff from local stores. Of course not everything is sold in a physical store, for which you’ll probably have to use ebay.

Go local.

I keep forgetting that some people need vpns to torrent.

Whoa that’s a super nice way of telling the user how different parts of the drier should sound. A+++ for this execution. I can see that they take right to repair pretty seriously (at least for diagnostics)

I live in a country that doesn’t care about piracy and has super strong protections for people who pirate, but i’d imagine i would be in deep trouble if i lived in a different country. I don’t download that much, but i do seed my entire jellyfin library with no speedcaps. Here’s this month’s upload stats for my network

That’s the only way we can rebel against Ai

Size doesn’t matter. It’s how you use it

I’ve seen northern lights in Oslo, but they’ve never been this vibrant

The new ones were garbage anyways. Mine is stuck at a polling rate of 10hz, and the acceleration is god awful

Oh onlyoffice works great! It’s spreadsheet function is far less buggy than excel and it’s smooth and snappy.

Be careful because Sam altman might steal it for his worldcoin bs

I don’t want to be a downer, but I’m afraid people will see the extra emissions headroom and speed up production instead of letting the carbon capture reverse anything.

I’m sure they thought of this (and this one is in Iceland so they have a bunch of geothermal energy), but wouldn’t the power consumption and the emissions that come with producing the power negate some of the practical capacity of these carbon vacuums?

Ye the explanation I presented is something I say to simple minded people as a way for me to tell them that the act of wanting privacy isn’t criminal, and that it is wayyy creepier when some stranger is trying to actively breach said privacy.

I want to belive that this entire breach of privacy thing will form a sort of bubble that’ll burst and people will wake up and realize that “hey this is kinda creepy”, but this does seem to trend towards a dystopian cyberpunk future
