I wouldn’t be surprised if the Slate Truck/SUV ends up being just marketing hype, but I’m keeping my eye on it since they promise a minimalist EV where you plug in the smarts in the form of your own smartphone. Otherwise, it’s just a dumb EV, which is how I’d keep it.
My eyes would bleed at the sight of my laptop’s 1366x768 TN panel if I got used to anything better! Those are the “good” monitors haha.
7.5/10. I find that most people I encounter, even if they support causes against those which I support, would agree with my viewpoints, as long as I don’t say “socialism”. That is an unfortunate consequence of being raised in an environment of capitalist realism.
Where’s the other 2.5 points? I’ll happily listen to my opponents recount the life experiences and thought processes that make them oppose my viewpoints. But for my own sanity, I refuse to engage with those who merely throw attacks at me.
I back off from arguing on the internet in general, also for my own sanity.

Uh-oh
The algorithm should already give you plenty.
The sink. It never occurred to me that people regularly brush their teeth in the shower until now.
I used to brush without wetting the toothbrush, but ever since I saw a fruit fly on my toothbrush, I’ve rinsed it off before using.
A noble goal in mind and I’m glad that the output of ChatGPT works for you. I’m not against LLMs in principle, but anything freshly spat out by an LLM is for you and you only. If AI was only used as an aid but you understand the codebase, document it and make it clear. Otherwise, you leave the assumption of vibe-coding open.
That sounds a lot more satisfying than I would have imagined. How do I set it up in that way?
It helps for sure, but it’s difficult to tell exactly how much, since unless you have a rooted device, NetGuard installs at the user level while Google’s services are privileged and are known to bypass VPNs and VPN-like apps, including NetGuard, on occasion.

Hopefully it’s just for additional stats and options. Would be quite diabolical for a life-saving device to depend on an app that demands regular Android.
As a GrapheneOS user, having the fastest hardware is not the goal. Pixels can be purchased for a very reasonable price second-hand or from discount resellers. Apple’s hardware is indeed remarkable and iOS being closed-source is not the root of the issue - it’s that they insist on a heavily locked down bootloader, so I will not for a moment consider Apple unless by some miracle they open up their phones to third-party OSes.
The main demographic of GrapheneOS users are in the west and the GrapheneOS team are a meticulous bunch. Why would they partner with an OEM whose hardware does not work with western cellular networks?
It’s better than the default, but such firewalls are installed at the user level while Google’s services are installed at the root level and are known to bypass VPNs and VPN-style firewalls, including RethinkDNS, on occasion.
For most people, nothing drastic aside from college if they do start at the typical age of 18. Not that things won’t change, but change will be gradual. Depending on where you live, you may gain the privilege to vote, join the military, drink, smoke, or be tried as an adult. The former two are up to you, but the latter three make for bad habits.
If you are on good terms with your family, cherish the time you have with them. That is often the first thing to start drying up. The next decade is a good time to find out what you’d like to do, special skills you’d like to learn, the people you want to have by your side, and the things that will keep your mind and body happy.
Nice, that’s a better rugged laptop than I imagined. Seems to be a fortified variant of a regular Latitude, so you should have access to interchangeable parts for years to come.
The implications of the ageing feature mean that I wouldn’t ever use it, or I would never leave once I let it run. Unless that piece of media features time travel that translates into the real world.
I’d love to go for a walk through the museum on those old multimedia encyclopedia CDs. Probably would visit some childhood memories on old cartoon tapes as well. And go for a spin on the Death Star.
HP also made laptops with a Blu-Ray drive built right into them. I got one for a few bucks at a flea market and ended up swapping the BD drive into my old ThinkPad.
I’d look for an alternative. Failing that, I would try every trick to fake that selfie.
It is on the back of my mind, but there’s only so much I can do as a civilian. And I’ve already got enough personal stuff to keep me busy before turning to the news.
Hard to say personally since I can’t remember the last time I had a real-life conversation go tense. I’ll entertain some pretty wild thoughts, but once the other party centers the debate over emotion at the expense of evidence, I’d say that’s the point I start losing patience.
