Perhaps, if the object I do care about crafting requires that process. I'd rather just learn the process I need when I need it, not waste my time doing a bunch of nebulous "this might be useful later" or conceptual stuff. Ble

On a desktop or laptop computer, most trackpads have an immediate response curve. I am using one now, an Apple Wireless Trackpad. A very large amount of engineering effort over decades of time and millions of lifetime hours went into making

Depending on your server's CPU sockets, reseating the CPU might help if they were ever swapped before (esp if you got the server used). I have a marginally bad RAM slot on one of my Supermicro X11 boards because my dumb ass dropped the

Maybe this'll get me torched but one of the more useful things I've had an LLM do is generate a little tutorial for Blender. Though I'm coming in with zero 3D modeling experience, and the tutorial was for the basics, what I g

Indeed. I also depend on my power company, the entire global supply chain to provide me with computers to purchase, copper mines for the networking cables I use, oil fields all over the globe for the plastic, etc etc etc.

Portability is dead now anyways. Something can have "sh" but all you can depend on are sh semantics and built ins. The whole point of a shell script is to compose a larger workflow out of the command line tools preinstalled on a s

ShellCheck is like a spaz hall monitor, filling my editor with useless warnings about what it believes are best practices. I thank my stars I mostly write shell scripts in zsh which it doesn't support.

satcoms have been accessible for decades. I have a satellite phone. It's an iPhone 14 Pro. None of this is actually necessary.

Yes, and if you analyze the finished metal and put in the work to reverse engineer it, fine, have at it. That's not even theft. If Apple really wanted to keep it completely secret forever, they can't sell it, so thats the risk the
