I thought about getting an M4 MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles for that same reason but I just don’t need it.

You can self host a lot on something like that.

The one place I see a huge leap is in MacBooks. The capabilities of a 2015 Intel based MBP are laughable when compared to an M4 based 2025 MBP. I use an MBP for my music production and I just cannot make it choke, no matter what I throw at it.

Coffee knocks me out. Between the warmth and the actual ADHD relief, it is very hard to keep my eyes open.

I remember when a ten year old laptop was just trash, unable to even boot a modern OS. Current hardware capacity exceeds our actual demand by so much that a ten year old computer is still adequate for most users (assuming you aren’t on Windows).

My 8 year old 1080ti graphics card can run most games perfectly fine on a 1080p/60 screen (still the most common spec budget monitor). I would not be surprised if it that PC hits 10+ years of gaming without a real need for upgrade.

No way! Now that I noticed it, it is a source of entertainment.

They seem pro-palestine, or at least anti-genocide. I think they just don’t like me. Who knows? Still flattered.

I used the tool and it looks like I have a downvoting stalker that dutifully downvotes my posts and comments. Aww… that’s so cute!

I think I am going to try Dave the Diver and/or Songs of Conquest.

They absolutely know they can be heard. You just have to tell him that it isn’t cool and that you don’t want to hear it.

He never got around to sand either.

Innit

Windows 11 on 4GB of RAM? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…

CS related degrees are useless. Tech is something that you need to be constantly on top of and perpetually trying to expand your skills and knowledge. Assuming you have a strong foundation in math and logic, a degree in CS will not help you much.

My degree is in finance with a minor in philosophy. All knowledge technology knowledge I have is self taught, but I was able to mix my love of technology and my finance education to enjoy a good run in fintech and infosec.

I mean not just a weekend, a HOLIDAY WEEKEND. He totally missed out on easter weekend.

This is exactly how Stephen King describes his writing process. He’s just documenting something that is already there.

This is the accidental renaissance I needed in my life.

I like Korn. I like dubstep/brostep. That album was not good. It had a “hello fellow kids” feel like when Cypress Hill kept releasing “rock” albums even though the type of riffs they were using had already gone out of style.

Would a drop of Bulgarian rose oil not work?

EDIT: By this I mean the legitimate stuff made by hand in the countryside, not the chemically extracted stuff. It is extremely strong.
