I used to hate on RGB in PCs, until I realized that they can do more than just rainbow vomit; with enough LEDs you can actually get a visible image… If you squint…
One of my favorite things to do with RGB is use the RAM sticks as VU meters and the CPU radiator fans as visualizers when playing music; gives off oldschool HiFi vibes and reminds me of my Winamp days.
No kidding. I’m in my late 30s, and for awhile I would tell myself that this would finally be the year that I finally make enough money to get my shit together and be a real adult, with a wife & kids, three cars, investments & money in my savings account.
Gave up on that dream by age 30, and now I’m just trying survive another year with my fingers crossed that yet another body part doesn’t join my shoulder, neck, knees, and back, and start hurting 24/7 just for shits and giggles.
Man, 2020 really did seem hopeful back in 2019, didn’t it? New decade, presidential election coming up… What could possibly go wrong?
I’ll still take those odds.
Well that explains a lot lol
The bubble will eventually burst, but LLMs are not going away. The can of worms has already been opened. Either embrace them, or get left behind.
Yeah seriously it’s so pathetic. Either embrace tech, or get left behind. The vast majority of Lemmy users might not like it but personally I refuse to get left behind.
LLMs can be a great tool if you’re aware of their limitations. Stick to the more advanced models (avoid the “fast” ones that don’t actually do any googling), check the sources it provides, be skeptical of everything it says, and you’ll be fine.
An LLM helped me with a relationship issue I was having—and even diagnosed an issue I didn’t even know my car had, when I asked it an unrelated question about fuel trims. It saved me hundreds by recognizing a problem I was unaware I had before it killed my catalytic converter.
Given that I would probably be single by now, and would have never discovered the issue in my car without an LLM going, “hey by the way…”, I am extremely grateful to OpenAI for what they’ve done for me and the future of humanity. Why would I hate on a technology that saved my relationship and nearly $1000?
What’s most exciting to me is that the tech is still in its infancy, and it’s already this good. The AI bubble will eventually burst, and the tech will eventually get good enough to shut up all the naysayers. AI just needs to get past its “growing pains” stage.
Stay strong; ignore the haters, and we’ll weather this storm. Eventually AI will get REALLY good and then Lemmy will have to find something new to hate.
Shit like this is why building websites is no longer fun for me like it was back in the 90s and 2000s. There’s way too much security shit to worry about now.
Can’t speak for the TriFold, but I easily get a full day out of my Fold 7, even with Battery Protection set to 85%. I usually end my day with a 40% charge, which is considerably better than my last phone (Fold 4). Easily over 1.5x more battery life.
That said, I miss the pre-Android/iOS days; back then I was charging my phone maybe once a week.
Yeah, even as a foldable enthusiast, I see no reason for this to exist. A second hinge is just another failure point.
Wake me up when the first cylindrical, rollable phone comes out. Until then, I’m happy with my Fold 7.
I used to back in the late 90s-early 2000s in StarCraft: BroodWar when I was a kid. Mainly because I was absolute trash and was trying to compete.
My favorite hacks were map hacks (removes fog of war) and stack hacks (construct buildings on top of each other to fit more in your base). I also used a no-CD crack (glad those days are over), and a disconnect hack so that I would never have a loss on my record.
Even with these hacks I was still trash at StarCraft, and always will be. Gave up on RTS games a long time ago. Hacks can’t save you from poor resource management and low APM.
Haven’t hacked in a game since. I heard that they cost money these days. I couldn’t possibly imagine paying real money to cheat. The closest I get to cheating in games today is playing mobile shooters in an Android emulator on PC. That way I can take advantage of mouse & keyboard + playing on a larger 4K HFR screen for smoother framerates and better visibility over a phone screen. But that’s allowed (Tencent even has an official emulator for this very thing), and many mobile shooters will detect M&KB input and try to only match you with other players using the same input method, so I’m not sure if you can really call that cheating.
It does give me an advantage, though.
Tell me about it. When Albertson’s bought Safeway, they changed the recipe to their green chile chicken enchiladas from the Deli and it just doesn’t taste as good as the old one. I can replicate the original recipe well enough at home, but the convenience of just being able to grab a tray for a quick bite is no longer there and I miss having that so much.
I could not in fact tell by your username, so thank you for the information.
IDK you tell me. I’ve never heard of it.
TIL
But if you use Windows for any reason, I’d still recommend O&O cause it disables nearly every annoyance the OS has. MSEdgeRedirect and StartAllBack fix the remaining problems with Win11 (stops Windows from ignoring your default browser settings, and restores removed Start menu features, respectively).
You can disable that shit with O&O Shutup 10
This, but we also need to stop shutting down race tracks and start making them more affordable! The desire to drive fast would be greatly reduced if people had an affordable, legal outlet to do so. But public race tracks are becoming more and more rare, and the ones that are still around charge hundreds to thousands of dollars for a track day, which only encourages people who spent money on a sports car to risk enjoying their car illegally on public roads.
It’s a major issue and something needs to be done about it. Sports car enthusiasts need an outlet.
I previously answered a similar question from another user. For your convenience, here is my response:
The criteria is whatever I feel like at the moment if/when I ultimately decide to bookmark. There is no hard set rule, because again, I have ADHD.

For me it’s because I have ADHD and thrive among organized clutter.
I may have 100 tabs open, but they’re all categorized: One tab group for YouTube, one for porn, one for my website, and one for everything else. I keep stuff in there that’s good enough to hang onto for a while, but not good enough to bookmark.
That’s a brilliant idea, but why does your PC have cooling issues? I literally never worry about overheating because I sized my radiators and heatsinks adequately for my equipment, fans set in a positive pressure configuration to minimize dust accumulation. All I gotta do is clean the filters once every few months, and everything stays cool and clean.
If your overheating issues are a result of budgeting issues, I feel for you. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a bad idea to invest in better cooling so that you never have to worry about temps.
