What a strange boogeyman here. I have a 15 year old HP that was $400 when I bought it and the hinges are still fine.

Yes, it's ridiculous to say that if self driving cars kill fewer people than human driven cars but still more than zero that we should not use them. That's like saying "why use seatbelts, they're not 100% effective."

That's equally ridiculous to say. Self driving cars just need to be better than people to be worth it, they just currently are not better than people.

Around 1 per 100 million miles.

Indie devs do already get a bit of a break by only paying 15%.

I picked that up when I saw it hit 1.0 and I've been loving it. I've kind of struggled to get into similar games like Risk of Rain 2 and Gunfire Reborn but this one "clicked" with me.

Holy crap, apple charges $200 to add 8GB of RAM. I just bought 32GB of DDR5 for the Framework I have on order for $95.

I have been using Android since near the beginning. My first smartphone was an HTC Droid Incredible. I use Linux on all my computers and have done so for over 15 years. Just trying to set the stage for my level of tech savviness.

I have not used any apps that require ADB permissions in probably 10 years.

Basically treat it similarly to your iPhone to get started. If you have particular apps you're looking for we can make recommendations or you can just search for lists of specific types of apps (best podcast app, best RSS reader, etc...).

I feel like every time we hear this the "unprecedented experience" is something no one enjoys. Or in the rare case that the new feature is good the rest of the game is not.

Oh I completely understand, I have one for camping. I was really responding to this paragraph:

If you use them every day to broadly discharge and recharge off a small solar panel set up you’ll slowly start to chip into your carbon footprint and energy cost. Its also not fossil energy, its micro-renewable.

Where did you go hiking?

The ROI is basically infinite on these even at the sale price of $1000 for the 768Wh with a 200W solar panel (which should approximately charge it each day). Let's round to 1kWh. The average price of electricity is $0.23 per kWh. This provides $1 of power every 4 days, meaning it would take 4000 days to break even. The battery is only rated for 3000 cycles.

I think it was lost for decades.

It's not quite that simple. Your phone has the hardware to connect to a mobile network, but a SIM, wherever eSIM or physical, has the password to get on to the particular provider's network. My phone had the hardware to connect to Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T, but the SIM gives it the password to get on to T-Mobile.

Most notably you need to have an internet connection to download an eSIM - so even if the carrier gave them away for free you would need someone with a working phone to help setup the eSIMs.

It actually looks like the play store has the two apps better distinguished now. "Feeder.co" is proprietary and relies on a cloud service - it's the same as Feedly/Inoreader and requires an account.

Feeder (the free and open source one) is not cloud connected. You can export your feeds to standard formats but it does have device sync, but everything's stored on your device rather than in the cloud.

I use Feeder (the free and open source one from f-droid, not the proprietary one from the play store).

I subscribe to Axios for world news, a few "tech blogs" like Ars Technica and The Verge, and a few web comics.

I love that you take ownership of your mistakes. I'll be putting this in your annual review.

I love openSUSE and think it's one of the few distros that has a pretty good implementation for every DE/WM. GNOME, KDE, Xfce, lxqt, enlightenment, mate, sway, etc... are all a solid experience on openSUSE.

That said, I have never found a distro with a good Cinnamon experience other than Linux Mint. Probably in part due to cinnamon being developed by mint, but regardless, if you want to use cinnamon, mint is your best option.

Know your meme doesn't have any real info on it, but the first time I remember it is people posting about Morbius on Reddit, "Morbius is certainly one of the movies of all time."
