An mSATA or small NVMe in a USB enclosure is the best way to go. No wasting a precious internal slot, and they can be super tiny (2230/2242 enclosures are dime a dozen).

DON'T GASLIGHT ME, JESUS

Only for the similarly Israel funded Reform to win, because while we keep fighting on whether the next candidate is anti-Israel enough, Reform manages to unite the dumbfucks of the country.

And if Brexit has proven anything it's that the damn country has way too many dumbfucks who'll gladly throw away everything just so a guy who blames the "right" people for the country's troubles gets to be PM.

It's a celebrity holiday island. I'm surprised they didn't find something much nastier, or even harder drugs.

Even if you eliminate personal cars, car infrastructure is still a necessity in most cities - public transport depends on it, workers depend on it (or do you see tradies lugging their shit around on a bus?), deliveries depend on it (let it be your Amazon orders, shops' deliveries, construction materials and so on).

I agree that we have too many cars on our streets regardless where you live, but uprooting entire existing infrastructure that is relied upon by more than just your target group isn't going to help the situation.

That would be a leftward bias, a person constantly turning slightly left - which is CCW.

Turning right is clockwise.

Yup, it's incredibly worrying what I'm seeing.

A lot of people can use AI responsibly. I see it in my work, as a software engineer - other engineers use various models, including Claude, as an intern, essentially. Nobody trusts a single model, we have tons of checks in place, both AI and manual tooling, mistakes are spotted early on, and I'd argue that our code quality has improved (or at the very least we have reduced the code style variations and have managed to quickly tackle a lot of legacy code conversion to newer standards, e.g. whole ass flows converted from RxKotlin to Coroutines within a few days).

On the other hand... I see even more people rely COMPLETELY on AI. I've seen people my age, 90s kids now grown up, who've come to a level of executive dysfunction that rivals my own ADHD-aided version... Some of them literally can't decide what to have for dinner without burning tokens. Some are jamming their entire medical history into services that explicitly state they will sell any and all personal data going in. I've seen people get fucking fired because they've kept asking their personal, unpaid ChatGPT/Gemini work-related questions and when the AI asked for it, they uploaded confidential documents without a single fucking afterthought.

All because they were sold by the fancy autocomplete salesmen that AI will solve all their issues, including pleasuring their wives and fixing their erectile dysfunction. And no matter how many times I tell them to not just trust whatever the model spits out, to think at least a little bit critically, to start understanding that these models are not a fucking search engine... "okay sure", then ten minutes later I get a lecture about how Claude/Gemini/Cluster McFuckstick or whatever shite they use that offers "free AI", is completely sure that I am wrong and thus they will keep using it as-is...

Shitty, old processors? In which way?

Zen 4 is literally just a single generation behind current latest gen architecture. And you're way off on the pricing too - Zen5 APUs are essentially the AI 300/400 lineup, of which the higher end models still cost well over what Valve would find affordable. Meanwhile the GPU Valve chose to be integrated into the SM is 30-40% more performant than the 890M bundled with the Ryzen AI 370 (the only affordable kinda-high-end Zen5 APU).

So no, it's neither old nor shitty.

That's been happening for well over a decade now, and while "respectable security researchers" call it bullshit... there's simply too much anecdotal evidence for it to happen organically.

How long do y'all think it will take yanks to start talking about how in X part of the US it's much hotter and us "pansy Europeans" should just "learn to deal with it"?

Maybe in a year or so. My Deck still works fine, not in a rush to replace it. The Frame on the other hand, probably a day one purchase.

Fookin hell mate, I leave for a few days and all hell gets loose?

Let's hope the next PM is less of an undercooked potato than Starmer was.

Shoulda shorted it instead

Eh, the writing was on the wall the moment DRAM manufacturers refused to expand capacity and instead stopped consumer sales in favour of corporate batch sales.

NONE of that data can predict a random occurrence discussion that goes in a specific direction.

A great example is something that happened to me in 2015. One night I was out with friends, and one of them had a really bad panic attack. The next day I was discussing it with a colleague during a smoke break, who recommended he gets a clip-on pulse oximeter. No searches, nothing, literally just a half minute detour in our chat. I repeat, nothing was typed in or looked up or in any way entered into any computer intentionally.

Five minutes later we're sitting in front of our respective computers and I start getting ads for the very thing. Mind you, we're still at a point where nothing noted during this discussion was entered into any computer. Explain this.

UV resin, basically, just super high resolution that makes it incredibly expensive (even the cheaper models used for quick check measurements by dentists cost $20k+ - that is, latest tech, brand new from manufacturer, before someone drops a link for a used unit from 2018 for 10 grand). But the sheer volume makes up for it, a single printer like that can be generating pure profit within a year.

I've got an idea!

I will start a holiday fund. Whenever y'all want a new PM, just donate enough so I can head off for a week or two. With a country of 60 million people... If just half of you want a new PM, a single one penny donation will make it happen.

No such discussion happened. As per above, that group of people were super toxic and couldn't care less about this specific person...

At most the remaining people would've mentioned how his panic attack inconvenienced their night out.

Except as I said NOBODY looked up the term. How many times and in how many forms do I have to state that the MENTION of pulse oximeters was: verbal only, in no way entered into a computer before I started getting the adverts?

The discussion itself wasn't even that long, colleague asked why I looked so tired, I told him how the previous night we had to call an ambulance and sort the guy out, colleague said "maybe he should get a cheap pulse oximeter, it can be helpful to predict attacks and handle them without a call [for an ambulance]", and that was it. Topic was dropped.

And no, mutual friends didn't look it up either as they didn't care much for the guy (tbf it was a super toxic community I'm glad I've left behind).

Nope, as only ~4 people remained at that point, and they wouldn't even be thinking of researching this topic.
