I’m going to start referring to myself as neurotropical now.

There are some countries in Europe that have naturally occuring carbonated mineral water springs, they tap them and you can drink from them.

I’m not suggesting it can do those things. You said no known system or console can wake on a Bluetooth connection, I said PS4 can. I don’t have a PS5, but it probably does too.

My PS4 wakes up when the bluetooth controller connects to it.

I already built my own loungeroom PC 18 months ago with a used rx580, amd 5600X, and 32gb RAM. This was just before the RAM crisis, so 32gb DDR4 was relatively cheap. I run Bazzite on it, and get a very SteamOS-like experience. Whole thing cost me less than half what they are asking for a Steam Machine.

Reminds me of this

Thats right. The word “computer” in this article can mean anything with a microcontroller in it. Any car built after 1996 legally must have an OBD port, so it has a diagnostic computer at least. All cars with fuel injectors have an engine computer. All cars with air bags will have a computer that controls when they go off. Even some cars with cruise control in the 90s had a cruise computer that monitors and controls the speed.

I don’t know what my point is, just that I agree, having lots of microcontrollers in your car is not necessarily bad thing, they provide many facets of basic functionality and don’t collect your data. And journalists like sensational headlines and fear mongering.

This is one I was planning to do for a friend but he moved away and I never got a chance.

Toast his bread. Take two slices of bread out of his bread bag, toast them, then put them back in the middle of the loaf.

I’m 177cm (5’ 10). Thats exactly average height for men in my country. But I’m always feeling like the world is built for shorter people.

All work surfaces and countertops are way too low. I get a sore back working in the kitchen chopping veges or washing up in the sink because I am slightly bent over all the time.

I need an adjustable height desk at work because when I sit on the chair, my keyboard is too low and I need to hunch my shoulders to type. I need to adjust the desk up by 15cm just to ensure my forearms are horizontal.

When I’m sweeping with a broom or mopping, I need to hold it all the way up at the top the handle, and still need to crouch my back slightly to use it. I feel like they need to make the handles just 20cm longer for normal height people to use them while standing upright.

Every car I drive I need to adjust the seat all the way back otherwise I can’t get my legs in.

I couldn’t imagine how awful it would be like to be any taller than I am.

The answer is right there in the fist paragraph, and in more detail if you read the whole article.

The author uses kmscon, that is a usermode console with proper graphics drivers, hi res rendering, and UTF8 font support. There is no desktop environment used.

I suspect that is where the italics support is coming from. Makes me want to try it out.

I’ve been planning for a while to build a small ARM based cyberdeck style survival PC. It would have a big modular battery, transflective LCD, external wifi, and an SDR. Looks like this thing has many of those features in a tiny little build.

This one is more like a very advanced raspberry pi. It is a powerful computer in your pocket with network jacks, wifi, Bluetooth and HDMI. It can be used for network analysis, penetration testing, software development. What it will actually be used for: plugging into your TV to stream movies.

I agree with this.

The general surface level answer to your question is, we have the opportunity to invent our own meaning and purpose in life, and fulfill it the way we wish.

But the real response to your question is, please talk to a professional about this, you need help.

Yeah. I don’t know why it’s even an argument. Its totally in his character’s nature to shoot first, and makes most sense in the story context.

Exactly right. I would never build a gaming PC with less than 16GB these days. And for friends and family, I’d push them to try to go with 32GB if their budget extends to it.

The sweet spot is probably around 24GB, but then you’re mixing module sizes.

Yes, it’s a common practice that’s been done right back to PS2 and Xbox360 days.

Same. For me, listening to music is an active experience that takes up my brain slot. I can’t do something else while listening to music. Eg, many people study better with music, or do coding with music. That’s impossible for me. Exceptions are when I’m driving with the radio on, or walking to the train station with my earphones in.

You’re using the wrong app. The notepad-like editor for KDE is called KWrite, the icon is exactly as you’d expect it. Kate is an advanced plugin-based editor with IDE-like features.

Yes it definitely counts.
