8·1 day agoGood thing I put mine in airplane mode when I first got it and never updated firmware. I load books like its a flash drive.
As someone who designs and builds networks as a profession, I don’t see this being a great idea. Maybe I just don’t have all the facts.
I am leaning heavily on the example of M$ trying an underwater datacenter, which they decommissioned and have not pursued further. Put a node of compute somewhere and eventually it will become obsolete or unusable due to hardware failure. Not to mention the energy requirements and cooling needed in space. Waste heat does not just dissipate unless it has a heat sink, which adds more volume and mass to the payload!

3·2 months agoI feel you there. Washington state has no income tax, so there are so many levers we can pull to raise revenue. Property tax is one of the big ones. Every time I get a ballot to vote on, there is some new levy they want to add. I generally vote yes, because I want schools to be funded and parks taken care of, but it does get to a point where our tax system is regressive.
Wealth taxes make sense. Those who can afford to pay a small amount more should step up. Mamdani’s plan of raising taxes on wealthy New Yorkers by -2%- is even less than what was passed in Washington state.
Most people dont make over 1,000,000 a year. A millionaires tax, like the one passed in Washington state, only taxes 9.9% of every dollar OVER ONE MILLION. The first million has the same tax rate as everyone else.
They still keep 90.1% of every dollar over one million. It is not as if it is forfeit. They will still be making a shit ton of money.
The problem is that all those services that people like and rely on? They cost money. Inflation and dipshit tariffs are eating into everything, so new revenue is required.
Yep
You summed it up perfectly
Very different from what I’m hearing from other sources, including people who have gotten the flu this year
That’s a valid question, especially with AI coding being so prevalent.
There has been a lot of data mining in the past few months that indicates they are working on something that has yet to be released, which is very likely a Half Life game. I’ve been watching the HLX Files series by Tyler McVicker for a while as he sticks to just facts without much hype.

The only games I’ve struggled with are those with codecs that are not distributed with Proton. Installing GE-Proton solved it.
99.99% of games on Linux unlocked.
Because Disney sucks?
I agree with you on this. Let it handle things you don’t care about and massage the output if necessary. Anything I do care about, I code myself, but will ask for help if I get stuck on something. I’m a novice programmer at best, 18/100 skill score.
Haven’t been in a Target in over a year. I used to stop in once a while… but they suck as a company.
LORD is still out there if you look. I think they have leaderboards under a new name

That’s pretty rad, ngl
I have a friend in Edinburgh who has been out of work since last June. He is getting desperate.
