And if you only ever used it for describing weather, that would be an argument to make. But you use it everywhere, I mean just search for the term “cooking temperature” on Google images and you’ll see a bunch of nonsense.

But even using it just for weather, this is still not a good argument, as the perspective of hot and cold is very very subjective, and changes constantly. To me, an outside temperature if 10C feels freezing cold in September, but it’s reasonably warm in January. Or an inside temperature of 24C will feel amazingly cold on a 42C July day, but super warm on a -10C December night.

Every time I thought the US was stupid for doing a thing, the rest of the world followed with the same bullshit a few years later. Some sooner, some later. The US is not more stupid, they’re trendsetters.

They seem good on paper - every time I look for a phone on gsmarena’s phone finder I get a few of their rog phones in the results. But then I look at the price tag and the gamer aesthetic, and I ignore them.

I tried the link preview feature as well, and to say the response to it is overblown is putting it mildly. I haven’t looked at the source code, but based on how it appears to work I’m not sure it even qualifies as AI. It basically selects 2-3 sentences from the reading mode version of an article, but the selection is so bad it might as well be random. Not surprising as it’s a tiny model that runs locally and is only given a second to make the selection.

I actually laughed when I saw it - this is what all the weeks of fuss were about?

Baking soda or baking powder? Because some (most?) baking powders do contain aluminium salts and some people are put off by that. Maybe that carried over to baking soda too.

There’s dozens of us here!

And it’s not even a new account.

They were also wise to not have revealed the Switch 2 any earlier, because it would have jeopardized sales of the Switch 1. Enough companies have made this mistake in the past.

Ah, the Osborne effect…

It’s worth noting that this is a new line of ThinkPad, there’s a bunch of existing lines that will all keep the classic look. Though I feel like the name X9 isn’t great, but whatever.

What’s actually infuriating are those bar charts.

I wish people would remember that after 8 years of explaining.

Well there’s no shortage of those, and they’re unusually cheaper too (unless they’re specced out). I prefer a thin silent one myself, so I welcome this innovation.

Mediatek has been making phone SoCs since forever now, they have two lines - Helios and Dimensity. They’re used in many phones, usually on the lower end. Even Samsung uses them. Both lines have abysmal custom rom support compared to Snapdragon phones, so I don’t think you can hope for much there.

We did it, reddit NYPD!

That’s what I signed up for.

Podman not because of security but because of quadlets (systemd integration). Makes setting up and managing container services a breeze.

Relevant XKCD.

The receptacle is the issue - it can have up to 24 pins (though usually it’s 12ish), all bunched up in just a slightly larger space than on a micro usb receptacle which has 4 pins. So it takes some good skill to replace.

Just recently I had a tech store guy gently but repeatedly insist to me that a certain USB cable was a USB 3 cable because it was type C on both ends. I didn’t wanna argue with him, but the box clearly said “480 Mbit”, so it was just a type C charging cable.

Of course the box designers were hoping you’d make that mistake so they didn’t write USB 2 on there, just the speed. And most boxes won’t even have that, you’ll just have to buy it and see.

But I mean if someone who spent their whole life fixing computers can get something that basic wrong, then it’s really a hopeless situation for anyone who isn’t techy.

And of course once it’s out of the box it’s anyone’s guess what it is. It’s a real mess for sure.
