Most of the people I know now never really acquired this skill, can’t really lose what they didn’t have

Well many of China’s websites don’t even use HTTPS. Look at china.org.cn, or en.people.cn for example

Ya but wouldn’t I need to open up ports or host a VPN ? Otherwise my phone won’t backup unless I’m at home

I’ve been using one drive for my phone photos backup, joplin notes store and keepass. It seemed like the most economical solution cus other vendors don’t really offer 1TB, it’s usually something stupid like jumping from 200GB or 2TB. Don’t know if I should invest in a NAS or something, but I just don’t wanna deal with the hardware and networking if I have to open some ports at home , unless I can use cloudflare as well

That’s kinda strange, I was taught in school that tomato was a fruit so that’s what I always went with. As to why, I honestly have no idea and wouldn’t be able to argue

Don’t give up

Lol, well obviously it would be cheaper to host an LLM that is smaller. Imagine the cost of hosting o1

Why don’t you just use real debrid or something and stream the torrents remotely?

This is just stupid. The point is having options. It’s not like having a 3.5mm jack stopped you from having wireless buds. What do you mean “prefer wired over wireless” when everyone had the choice of both since fucking forever

These things are unreliable, I had 3 seagate HDDs in a row fail on me. Never had an issue with SSDs and never looked back.

They call it mackers in Australia

Your second point of trading loot and items got me thinking about my Steam CS:GO skins. Why should I trust a centralized entity like Steam who could at any moment decide to delete all my skins or remove my account for whatever reason with my skins, vs storing those skins in a wallet on a public blockchain for example to keep it’s value and always allow trading? Ofc there will always be a “centralized” smart contract but at least they can’t make changes to it if the smart contract code is audited ,

I would like to try #2 but for some reason my 5900x doesn’t have graphics so I literally need to buy a whole other GPU for this

Kinda cool but shit $45 for a piece of silicone those margins are insane.

The physical keyboard is just a tool. There are alternatives like speech-to-text software, virtual keyboards with swipe features, or stenotype.

The goal should be to use whatever is most effective and efficient for yourself, so if Gen Zrs are more used to touch screen, maybe they should invent a touch screen interface that you can use with the computer, maybe even incorporating the mouse somehow.

For me personally the touch interfaces right now are fucked up - I always tap the wrong letters on my phone, the auto-correct and suggestions used to compensate for this often times make it even worse, and swipe doesn’t come up with the words I want, I often have to swipe multiple times. I can’t imagine operating a computer like this, but maybe for Gen Zrs it’s no problem.

Maybe in the future you just need to think the word and it appears on the screen, and typing would be obsolete.
