It's also pretty obvious that Russia respects only strength. If NATO doesn't react strongly enough, it is perceived weak by Russia, which increases the likelihood of them trying something against a NATO country. I don't think

Same here, though I did it a bit earlier. Data center SSD's I bought a while back for 50 euros each from Ebay now sell for over 200 euros. Similar increase for HDD's too. Maybe in 3-5 years there will be a fantastic time to upgrad

Industrial revolution was all right as long as you owned the farm, as most farmers did. The losers were those farm workers who weren't needed in as great numbers anymore, and they weren't paid well in the first place. I agree on l

Not really, if we give the HDD some resale value. There's a market for used but functional hard drives.

Car tire is a moving part that wears in use. Only moving parts a GPU has are its fans, which can be replaced. The rest may last really long, or fail brand new.

Building an energy system dependent on Russian gas is, and always was an idiotic thing to do. I live in Finland, and our energy costs are pretty back to more or less what they used ot be, even though we live next to Russia. I don't kno

I have slightly similar experience. When I was a teenager, I had a random flu shortly before two flights abroad. I didn't feel that sick anymore, but apparently my ears were still badly blocked. On descent my ears would hurt like hell,

Yes, and to be honest if you know how to read, you can also cook. Just google a recipe with good reviews and follow it to the letter, the outcome will most likely be good enough.

Yeah, I get why people don't want wind turbines right next to their house, but also in my country I see people in the countryside complaining about turbines that are literally in middle of a forest, many kilometers away. It's just

I think major breadbasket collapses can be avoided through geoengineering. Thanks to volcanoes and emissions from marine traffic, we know for a fact that climate change can be slowed down by spraying enough stuff reflecting sunlight high in

It's mainly German fixation, not EU fixation.

Yep, I dual boot Linux Mint & Windows 11 and only bother with the latter when I need MS Teams, or some other proprietary software that tends to be more reliable on Windows. In terms of performance and user experience Mint wins easily.

I too recommend Rectangle. It made transition from Linux significantly less painful.

In this case I feel like it's the opposite. If generative AI really succeeds, most software devs will be out of job, in which case profits from those investments could become useful. If it flops, then there's a greater chance dev

I wonder how this aligns with EU's accessibility act. Covering "the vast majority of users and real-world use cases" isn't really enough based on EU's own regulation.

Intercity buses would be nice, and perhaps a car pool among few friends could work. Renting a car however remains very impractical for any longer trip. Still, I'm not sure what is so bad about owning a car in a small or medium-sized ci

Bigger the city, more expensive housing becomes. That is the real reason for low fertility rates in big cities. People who want children have to be either rich, or move further away.

There's more to this world than cities and suburbs. Ever visited actual countryside? Most of the the larger roads out there are necessary to deliver food and other goods to cities. When they have to exist anyway, it would seem incredib

Whether having a car is necessary or not depends on where you live. Here in Northern Europe we literally can't reach my or my partner's parents with public transport, because they happen to live in the countryside. For us having a

Yeah temperature, wind, altitude, weight, runway slope all matter, and then there needs to be enough spare space for the aircraft to successfully take off even with engine failure in the worst possible moment. Then there's the questio

I guess I just don't feel like it's really my self-expression, if I just told a generative AI model to create it. I do sometimes create AI art, but I rarely feel like it's worth keeping, since I didn't really put any eff

Interesting. For me knowing that any form of entertainment has been generated by AI is a massive turn-off. In particular, I could never imagine paying for AI-generated music or TV-shows.

"For the first time in more than four years, there are fewer open jobs than there are job seekers." Americans still have it pretty good in that respect. Over here in EU my country gets to enjoy 9% unemployment rate and many times

I don't know about TrueNAS, but with Proxmox the two random 10$ SATA-cards I tried only gave me issues. With first one OS wouldn't boot, second seemed to work fine, but connected drives disappeared as soon as I wrote to them. Used

I can highly recommend gardening. Even before LLM's I found it much more satisfying than coding as a hobby.

That's because most of the surplus agrarian workers found new jobs from factories and service sector in cities. Industrial society needed more people to work the factory lines, transport stuff, feed those city living workers and so on.

For an average user the SSD will never reach its write limit though. But I agree, SSD's should be always user-replaceable.

I use Dell at work, Thinkpad at home. Either gets the job done, but to me it's clear Thinkpads have superior quality, at least if you don't go for the cheapest model. Keyboard and battery life are so much better on my old Thinkpad

They are plastic junk, but even they are likely to remain technically functional for more than 5 years. It's mainly things like battery life, screen & keyboard quality that make those laptops annoying.
