The "what" is way trickier than that. I was suicidal for ~15 years, no matter if things were going well or badly. There were years when things were perfect, awesome, but I was still depressed. I've tried all the "normie&

The Pentium MMX was also a perfectly usable desktop CPU, ran Windows XP and stuff.

Did adding more channels start improving performance in a significant way sometime in the past decade? Last time I checked, single vs dual channel was like a 5-10% performance difference, mostly useful for integrated graphics (and even then

For reference, it offers about half the performance of a Snapdragon 845... It's honestly a garbage chip for disposable devices, which is just bad for everything. I'd rather use one $300 device than 3x $100 devices over the same ti

Cannabis is... overrated. It is rather similar to alcohol in that it helps a bit, but with prolonged use or regular abuse the downsides quickly overtake the benefits. It was a bit useful for me for a while, but there are better alternatives

Yeah, I've started buying some drugs and had to deal with actual "junkies"... and it's been rather eye opening. I can see why they just blanket ban stuff. It seems many, if not most, people, just can't control thems

When I first stumbled upon it in the very early 00's people were hyped about it fitting on a floppy (the "save" icon :P). Pretty amazing even today.

I don't know why this comment feels like a punch in the face... I have severe ADHD, it's been getting worse and only medication helps, and I cannot get it. I have failed my whole life, I cannot start shit, I cannot finish anything

OK, what's wrong with requiring a very strong password and not having any recovery option? If you lost/forgot your password, that's it, kiss your account goodbye. It puts the responsibility on the user, which is good imo. I

Having to use third party repos and trust the uploaders kind of misses the point of self-hosting imo

I don't know... most people are too dumb/lazy to install a program using an installer or apk file. Notice how most of the software listed is free and open source - if the end user can't be arsed to learn a few things, why wou

We had trees on the main streets in my home city. Then they "modernized" it, widened the roads and cut the trees (even though there was still enough space for them, or at least newly planted ones!). Now it looks pretty shit (just

They also still use 4 RAM slots and an MXM slot for the graphics card on their ZBook workstations. Sadly the CPU is soldered and availability of MXM cards seems to be extremely limited nowadays.

I don't know, I think they would've gone with cheaper and cheaper materials and ended up with pretty much what Lenovo has nowadays. Dell and HP also had great business machines. I'm particularly fond of the Elitebook 8530&#x2

I used to be really good at using that. Even played FPS games using just the TrackPoint and laptop keyboard. I have had one on nearly every laptop I owned (OmniBooks, later Elitebooks and ZBooks) but kinda stopped using it and now it feels

It is strange that most of these tools seem to involve sending your data half way around the world. Guess local doesn't pay? I just use good old SMB/network sharing - it's not much harder than setting up some program on two d

Never let a good opportunity pass by, I guess. Information should be free imo, though I do not know how to deal with people who believe even the most obvious bs. Can DNS level blocks be bypassed using other DNS services? Google and Cloudfla

Notice how doctors say "levels are fine for your age" for various hormones. For whatever reason them declining is considered normal so nothing should be done about it. What if you are 60 and want to have the muscle strength, metab

I liked masks. Privacy, warmth during winter, anecdotally had no cold infection in the past 2 years (usually have one every year, and I wasn't stuck at home in the worst period of Covid), protects against each others' bad breath,

It might've actually dipped for everyone born during the decades leaded fuel was used. But that's on a base/general level - education would outweigh that.

Ah yes, NATO-Russian conflict. Russia can't possibly be losing to "insignificant Ukraine", which only exists because of the grace of Lenin or whatever. No, clearly Russia is having trouble because it's NATO fighting them

That's what I thought right up until Russia invaded Ukraine. I couldn't believe it happened for 3 days. Nah, as long as there's humans around, you better be armed and trained. Vicious animals, you never know when they'll

It's not only Wordpress. There's also Drupal, Joomla and the myriad of plugins written for them, as well as forums software like Vanilla, phpbb and vBulletin. Actually, I predict a resurgence in forum software popularity as more p

I don't think people care enough about fanless laptops, of which there are a few. And companies seem to really love penny pinching when it comes to the heatsink, which would have to be way bigger and/or better designed - that&#x27
