Having a car is extremely convenient, liberating and saves a whole lot of time.

I sort of don't like how centralized Reddit is, but there is indeed a subreddit for everything. UpliftingNews, Wholesomememes seem to be very popular, positive shit being the main content

You really don't want to cater to the easily offendable, imo. I remember writing an ebook on affiliate marketing when it was a new thing (free for email subscribers), which had the word Bullshit stamped on an image. Two people said may

So, what would Imzy do when a user started acting "not nice"? Because if they're forced to act nice, most people will just quit. Nobody's nice all the time (everybody has problems), and online communities are great for w

Reading that page is just weird - how are US lenses different than other countries? Are other lenses made to substandard specs? In which case, what the fuck? In this case, I just hope they want to squeeze every last dollar out of their buye

Well, no one is paying millions, everyone is paying a dollar or 10. If you'd rather use that for a few drinks, go for it. I'll pay my taxes knowing that someone got cared for or saved, and that one day I might be the one needing t

It's the other way around - all that gear is not as much as you'd like and 30kg is a lot of weight to carry on you most of the time :)

Aside from heatsink limitations (which can be modded to achieve better cooling), people are pushing their gaming laptops to 80W and beyond, with overclocked GPUs as well. Some are resorting to dual PSU's to handle the power requirement

I get what he means, but you can spend the next 500 years trying to fix humanity's problems on Earth, it will never end. Meanwhile, space is the final frontier, and just like our ancestors, we're compelled to go out and conquer it

Well, I don't care about that, I just want to get what we agreed on, not get good quality samples and then subpar shit that uses cheaper metal for the end product. Also if you want quality control, you need to have your own man doing t

Laptop, and extreme CPU. HP and Dell block TPL/TRL adjustment even for XM processors, and HP took it even further with their 1333 MHz limit on RAM. I have 1600 MHz sticks that can run fine at 1866 and probably more (tried with Thaiphoo

Huawei will shamelessly give away all your data to the Chinese government. At the very least it looks like Cisco doesn't willingly do that with the NSA. That should count for something. Else we'll have to learn to trade like the C

I was intrigued by Tencent's offer of 1TB of storage, installed the app and it immediately started uploading all of my phone's content to their cloud. Haha, great fucking service, just amazing.

Uhm, yeah, well the Soviet Union also conquered quite a bit through investment. The member states and allies were willing participants, but we all know the threat of open or covert military and economic action was always implied and played

I reckon it's really easy when there's one party in power that controls pretty much everything in the country - you just say it's in the nation's interest, most of the party is similar minded and will agree, and billions

Meanwhile I'm trying to find a way to remove the hard lock on CPU and RAM frequencies (extreme CPUs can't be overclocked, RAM is locked at 1333 MHz) :) Looks like it can be done through Management Engine, which has access to every

So far, it looks like they'll continue to blame the EU long after the exit. Oh, they're fucking up our trade deals because US/China has preference for larger trading partners, oh, they're a protection racket that doesn&#

There's always a scapegoat. Whether it's the jews, the foreigners, the oppressive union, the former Nazis, nationalists will find something to blame but their own people or country.

The government is thinking about the children. They will know exactly what people think of the children.

I don't know their actual numbers. Yeah, probably should've said Nationalists, but I wanted to accentuate what the worst case scenario happened. Unlike other countries with nationalism on the rise, the UK can actually do a lot of

I think it would be way easier to devolve into an authoritarian government when there's no one to tell you to slow down and rethink it. There's already plenty of Nazis in Britain. "Britannia rules", "Destroy the fas

More than half of US steel is made from scrap metal. Trash dumps are already being "mined" for stuff, as well.

It is better to have spare wattage instead of running it at full load. It's not like the PSU uses power by itself, and a larger one will last longer and be future proof...

Yeah, it's time to end human nature. Please, how often do you see anything credited to more than 10 people, even though maybe thousands worked on it? It's human nature to look for the leader, or leaders if there's no clear le

Every single phone I've had I've installed clean ROMs without any extras, and with multiple governors to choose from. Undervolting was useful every single time, too. But that's just optimizing your phone. Sadly I don't k

Huawei huh, kinda turned me off when I bought their premium Ascend P6 and while it was well built, it had weird issues with the GPS (not working at all while driving), screen artifacts and micro SD card being constantly removed. Oh and ever

Because someone is gonna sift through all that data trying to find something useful? Lol, maybe the NSA should buy up all the used electronics...

They used to - today, I think only MacBooks retain that famous resale-ability. Probably because the iPhones are specced just enough to last a couple of years, whereas Android phones are over-specced as hell, even the Galaxy S4 had 4 cores a
