The idea of the weird voice in your head not being “you” can make a lot of sense, in a weird way.

That’s why they put velcro on shoes: big money wants to keep this one weird trick to themselves!

I personally use Calibre+Calibre-web.

It’s configured as a proxy for the Kobo store, the default store for my e-reader.

That means that when I click the sync button on my Kobo, it downloads anything hosted on my calibre-web server, while still keeping the ability to browse the Kobo store.

Those kind of cables:

I recently saw someone put an old.school “yellow red white” cable (no idea how they’re actually called) in a jack socket from a PC to a Jack TV port.

It seems not complicated to me, but apparently it is ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I manage instances of both mongo and postgres at work.

I’ll say Mongo OpsManager is pretty sweet, and HA is way easier on Mongo.

For linux only, lan only shared drive NFS is probably the easiest you’ll get, it’s made for that usecase.

If you want more of a dropbox/onedrive/google drive experience, Syncthing is really cool too, but that’s a whole other architecture qhere you have an actual copy on all machines.

The portable part of the console doesn’t seem to matter to you.

So really I think the real question you have to ask yourself is: do you want nintendo games?

If yes, switch 2 seems like a good fit.

Otherwise, most other games are on everything now (PC, xbox and playstation)

Another console might fit your requirements.

If you are willing to disregard thenplug and play, you could also consider a PC with steam big picture: it’s pretty close to a console experience.

You are totally right, I tend to forget most people often don’t know the difference!

Im curious, did you watch the video?

This specific case does seem to be using AI as opposed to classical algorithms and did see an incredible boost in efficiency.

I mean, tech is tech: how we use it is the defining factor.

AI as a whole can have positive impacts: the incredible leaps from the medical field in protein folding being a good example: https://youtu.be/P_fHJIYENdI

Until the download servers go down and you have a cartridge that’s just ewaste

If this is a real thing and not photoshopped, the fact that they feel the need to hide their faces is depressing.

Is the chinese show caught up on the booksnor still unfinished?

Even if you have a device connected to your TV to block ads when you’re using Youtube, nothing prevents her from using the TV OS when she does.

By that logic, do you think anybody that works at walmart/amazon/any-company-that-has-shady-suppliers can’t be good?

Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it’seven available commercially… So I’m not too sure about the direction we’re going.

Those are very good points.

This specific source doesn’t highlight it and I don’t have the opportunity to find something else at the moment, but when I first heard about it ( in a ted talk that I can’t remember the name of… ) they had highlighted that health complications followed similar curves. The worsts of course being burning stuff due to dumping it in the air, but that most renewables had their lot of injuries too, that their just less publicized.

Here’s my full take of nuclear/renewables

My understanding is that most power grid depending on renewables need an alternate energy source for when power demands ramp up: they need some energy sources that they can tune depending of needs, at the drop of a hat.

Hydro does that, you can let more or less water through. (I happen to live aomewhere where most of our energy is Hydro) Things like wind or solar are more complicated.

As an energy appoint source, I think nuclear is a good fit for some use cases.

The thing is, nuclear problems are big and scary events, but they’re rare.

Think like plane crash vs other transportation accidents: they make bigger news, but they’re actually safer than most other solutions.

Here’s the data: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh

It does seem that your solar example is the one thing that’s safer than nuclear sccording to this chart though, so maybe you knew!

One thing I find annoying is that there’s no way for me to let the company know that this behavior lost me as their customer forever unless they change their tune.

I’m fairly sure I’m the kind of person they’d market those products towards and it hurs them, but there’s no wat that I’m aware of to let them know.

If there was a way, and a significant amount of people would do so, maybe the decision makers would understand it’s stupid…
