It is entirely possible to simply ignore that intelligence. And why wouldn't you, if you're safe and fed? Being stupid is easier - very much in line with evolution, too. It's hard not to notice that many people are... dumb, b

Well, it's hard to be happy when it requires you to actually be able to do what you want to do. Social hierarchy, resources and even brain chemistry are not in everyone's favour. Contentness can be learned, though. Or just use t

It kind of blew my mind to learn (and internalize) that everything burns under the right conditions (mostly temperature). Metals, bodies, water, everything.

Wow, this is... awesome! I was looking for something like this for a while, OneNote works but it's quite tedious. Just a canvas for mindmaps/diagrams/ideas. This is one of the reasons I keep coming here, to discover new, usef

Precisely, I just don't buy closed down stuff unless I absolutely have no other choice. I don't care how good the games are, they're ultimately entertainment, which is at the very bottom of the list when it comes to spending.

They didn't disappear, they moved online. You modify your own console, download the cracked games and burn your own physical media. Selling actual discs became less profitable (fewer buyers) and riskier (stronger enforcement). Also se

Technically pretty interesting, but I'd never buy something like this. Had enough of encrypted BIOSes that you can only downgrade using a hardware programmer, and Samsung's Kox protection (actually also eFuse) which fortunately on

I mean, yeah, if they're satisfied with viewing demos on Youtube. The vast majority of people can't actually play the newest games at their best settings :D

And still ship the leftover waste to poor countries? Whenever I read "circular economy" I want to smash my head into a wall. Just so you understand where that's coming from: I worked for one of the largest appliance recycling

That is (very limited) intelligence imo. It's nothing more than a very complex, ever increasing set of procedures plus a huge amount of data and a fast processor. I mean, the more you know about something, the less "magic"

I'll guess that they will be using an automated system, i.e. no human eyes involved. Which isn't that much better, I guess. I'd say it's best to photoshop the info/photo, because "deleting" the photo doesn

Yeah, that'd probably work better in email phishing. I was thinking, if you have a public AP with a decent number of users, you redirect all of their requests to your phishing domain, get the credentials, ???, profit.

Maybe people should abandon these cities. It's sunk cost fallacy, I think? This land is valuable, therefore we'll invest enormous resources into keeping it livable, creating even more climate change, requiring even more investment

Why is the focus on arable land? Is it that important considering agriculture is ridiculously effective? Imo, any net gain would be offset by the massive energy use needed to offset climate change (in turn creating even more climate change)

Is it possible to have a valid certificate for, say, capіtalone.com? The only thing you could rely on is your browser not automatically entering the saved passwords. Funnily enough, I checked and the domain is available, so I guess such an

It's highly unlikely, but they could "make sure" of it. That's why you don't use your real information on sketchy websites :P

Do you create content, then? Articles, pictures, videos (especially well produced ones) of the various processes would be very interesting and could supplement your income pretty well (ads, sales/orders, patreon/sponsors, etc).

I've got a better nightmare - processors injecting ads in realtime :D

Yes, obviously. I'm just surprised that OP had trouble getting a good humidifier given the simple process. Though maybe they went for a Dyson model.

You're right, my mistake. I do hate it when cats come out of infected spots.

Only thing I can think of is RAM/PCIe speed... which isn't much of an issue. What else is there?

Yeah, people who didn't get a board with the best VRMs must be kicking themselves :D Really though, there's some cheap mATX boards with high quality VRMs that can run a Ryzen 9 with no issues. Though tbf, if the processor starts b

Haha, yeah, but actually it reminded me of old Web pages. Just text, format it however you want (make the product good yourself!), nothing in the way, just the content. I'm surprised how much I've gotten used to fancy websites, co

Yeah, one of my oldest Google accounts was taken over. I even got an email saying password/info was changed. Logged in, recovered the account, then changed the password (!) and made sure my recovery email and phone number are good.

Why not just waterproof it and keep it in your mouth, maybe temporarily affixed to a tooth...

Does it? Seems like being able to cut and stitch yourself is the hardest part. Funny story, I dealt with a pylonidal cyst on my tailbone by myself. I did not expect that much blood tbh (along with very stinky puss... sorry for the detail),

As I said, it's not enough. As long as they exist, they're causing health problems. You just can't filter enough of the gases. But moving to full electric can solve that quite well (putting the dangerous emissions far away).
