  • This isn’t meant for your house. From TFA:

    A hotel in Osaka bought the first machine and is preparing to offer the service to hotel guests, the spokeswoman said.

    Other customers include Yamada Denki, a major consumer electronics retail chain in Japan, which hopes the machine will draw people to visit its outlets, she said.

    “Because part of the appeal of this machine is rarity, we plan to produce only about 50 units,” Ms Maekura said.


  • Can’t say I’m proud of my reaction, but it is what it is.

    1. It makes the person look uncanny, which is naturally unsettling
    2. I can’t empathize with the decision to surgically change your body for whatever reason. So we’re less likely to relate to each other.

    It’s also really not that high on the scale of seriousness. It’s like the same weight as if I saw you wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey or something.




  • If you’re primary interface to your computer is a shell, then why not do this in a shell too? You likely already have your DE setup to handle shells. It fits within all your styling (no weridness between qt, gtk, etc).

    A better question might be, why run it in a GUI? What are you actually gaining from doing that?



  • I know people with vacation homes, but they bought those when they were older (50’s), and they’re usually small places say at a beach/lake, etc, that often gets rented out when they aren’t using it (as that’s how they pay for it).

    It’s weird. This seemed so much more common when I was a little kid. People having like a lake cabin or beach house. Nowadays though, either someone inherited it or they’re rich.


  • If I’m putting the major bulk of my traffic over a tunnel that could eat up a sizable chunk of a given connection point for the provider that I’m sure costs more than $2/month to maintain. I would have to assume it would take the combined subscriptions of several users to pay for a given node.

    Most VPN users do not saturate their connection the entire time. Which means they can overload their nodes.

    They also have fatter pipes and dedicated hardware that allows them to handle a lot of traffic from many different endpoints.
