I love the fact that the bezel is held on by magnets. Last time I tried to replace the display in a laptop, I had plastic bits of bezel flying all around.

From my pool of anecdotes I can only say that moving around - not necessarily doing sports or anything - affects things tremendously. My maternal grandmother lived to 97, while my grandfather is still with us at 99. Interestingly, their nex

Spotting is a different thing, as you're communicating that you're entrusting your safety with that person. Imagine someone instead asked you to wipe down the equipment for them or help putting the weights back. Different signal a

Yeah, that sounds like really bad advice. Personally I would read this as a weak, but noticeable signal of being a person who is okay with taking advantage of others. Most people are too embarrassed to ask complete strangers for actual favo

Some time ago my then project owner remarked that possibly in the future apps won't require an UI and people will just interrogate the LLM directly. I read that as a sign to make a coordinated exit. Truth be told our project was one of

Friendly reminder that we're still in the hype phase, even if it's the late stages. To me the idea that a GPU which costs as much as a car must read its entire VRAM just to output a word sounds incredibly wasteful. I'm exag

It is a good business model when the differentiator is that your company doesn't have just two modes: 1. Starting shit. 2. Thinking about starting shit. At least in the EU people are willing to pay more for fewer features so long as th

According to the technician I spoke with, he could only detect three on their end. The cable was chewed through by cats, so perhaps it was three just in that moment. The connection was overall unreliable, so I guess it must have been four,
