Please keep your dogforsaken chocolate chips out of my waffles, tyvm!

Working at my wealthy father’s fashion magazine… weird

I’m so glad I built a new system with 64gb of ddr5 just a month or two before memory prices started to skyrocket

They do and it’s terrible. Literally couldn’t convince it to stop showing me sports or celebrity gossip. I cancelled before the trial was halfway over.

First and foremost, it doesn’t matter at all that it was made in 2019. It plays every video I’ve ever thrown at it and it’s still getting updates.

Second, it’s very easy to replace the launcher, as already mentioned in the thread.

Third, a general purpose computer would almost certainly be more powerful in absolute terms, it would also be much worse in terms of usability for the specific purpose of playing videos and acting like a tv appliance. I’ve used HTPCs before and worked very hard at making them comfortable to use with a TV. No matter how hard I tried, they were always clunky. As soon as I got the shield, I never contemplated using an htpc again.

This painfully stupid and also hilarious

I agree. I’m very skeptical about their claims and so far I can’t find any evidence of 3rd party verification of anything. All the “news” about their batteries is just glorified press releases.

In the context of lithium-ion batteries, “solid state” means that there’s no liquid electrolyte, rather than meaning there are no moving parts.

5th character ever or 5th character this week?

Paladins are bestadins!

Can we not link to nazi coddling sites like twitter please?

If you want silliness and pop culture references, Dungeon Crawler Carl should do the job

Buuuut a permit is a fish, not a crab!

They might, I don’t know. But I don’t go to the dealership anyway and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Do yo want something like this?

CrowView Note-All-in-One Portable Monitor

In most vehicles with onstar (Chevrolet mainly) you can pretty easily disconnect the cable that connects the computers to the antenna. You need to install a dummy load to keep it from turning on the check engine light but other than that it’s trivial. Once that’s done, the car will still collect data but it can’t send it anywhere. Just don’t take the car to the dealership for maintenance or they might “fix” the antenna connection for you

It should be noted that the OGL stuff for D&D is included in the free part, along with the ORC licensed rules from Paizo for Pathfinder 2e. I think there are one or two other systems included as well but I’ve never looked at them.

The Closing of the Western Mind by Charles Freeman. It’s almost 600 pages of very information-dense prose but very well-written. It’s genuinely fascinating but I can read a dozen pages and spend a month or two thinking about them before diving in again.
