Oh for fuck sake is this another thing you have to wear a mask for?
My fucking dad I swear to god. He knows I got asthma. He had me install insulation as a kid and remove asbestos. I got fucking tinnitus from him giving me a drill and neither of us wearing hearing protection.
Thank you. I didnt know about lenovo so that’s good to know.
System76 seems especially out of my price range. I haven’t bought a computer for 12 years, can’t believe laptop’s cost more now (even accounting for inflation) than they did back then. It’s unbelievable. Might have to work out if I want a good one to last a long time (which is risky) or to get a cheaper one and expect to replace earlier.
By thank you that is helpful.
I want to get into Linux and I need a new laptop. I’m happy to go secondhand but I actually want a half decent thing that can play some games, not the cheapest box I can put Linux on and use fake word.
Am I best off just buying a new windows laptop than I can dual boot? Or any other suggestions?
Windows is US$ 139.00. So I figured if I buy a laptop without windows it will be 139 less but I guess manufacturers get windows for like $20 so there are no saving anyway.
Edit:should probably add I’m from to UK I that’s relevant
My view is it’s pure hypeware until proven otherwise.
This isn’t Tesla hate from my side either. The general consensus from enthusiasts since the beginning is Tesla is way off the mark. But the latest self driving upgrades using more LLM tech has apparently been a big step up. By that I mean going from poor assisted self driving to good assisted self driving. Getting it from there to no driver behind the wheel is another matter all together. Maybe they had a single jump or maybe it’s a new path of consistent progress, I have no idea.
I’m not expecting much from Tesla. I would absolutely love to be wrong.
Expecting more from baidu, pony.ai and zoox more than Tesla. Hell even BYD with the Chinese backing it has might beat Tesla.
I’ve been to Los Angeles and Austin. Is San Francisco seen as a bright sunny desert climate?
Was hoping at this point in time Waymo would be expanding more aggressively.
But no one else seems immediately on the horizon and Waymo is consistently expanding well so they are doing very well indeed.
I’m excited for the last mile problem to be solved and be able to cycle on roads without drivers that actually wish I was dead or playing about on their phone. Also I hate driving.
Because you can excuse your shitty behaviour to anyone for anything if you make enough excuses to yourself.
Guilt free being a cunt. It’s not your problem you’re a cunt to someone, you’re innocent!
I was thinking about the US lately. Can’t remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.
But I decided it actually wouldn’t be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn’t for the toxic work culture.
If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.
The internet is so tame now. Are there any websites left or is it largely just professional stuff left?
There is a shit load of gold out their in minute concentrations
There a of of fatties out there that think they are healthy and that someone who got visible ribs in anorexic. Heard quite a few stories if people going to the doctors and finding out they are obese when they thought they were a healthy weight.
People need more education on this matter not less.
If someone works out how to make gold cheap. Then the current value of all gold will collapse and there were be a huge supply of shit that’s been covered in dust in a vault for 100 years.
They can make steel with just electricity and I don’t see why if you are making a fuel for planes why you wouldn’t make straight kerosene.
I can see how you could mass produce hydrogen for industry then use it in winter. But I can also see all high energy industries going to places with good solar.
The future is going to be weird that’s for sure.
Especially in Europe there is a big question of winter energy demand not meeting supply from solar. That causes issues that wind doesn’t fully solve.
So I get that hydrogen could be an option to balance the grid over yearly time periods. Although I think batteries still look better.
But so much of hydrogen just seems like a scam
It added that all necessary equipment could soon be housed on a platform directly on an offshore wind turbine
Like why would you even do that? I don’t get it. It must go from kinetic energy to electrical then to the hydrogen plant surely. Why wouldn’t you send that electricity back to shore?
She’s got the face of someone that would make you make a mistake but you wouldn’t even care.
Yea I know.
Humans can drive with just vision.
Tesla is doing it the hard way. Their model involves cars just having vision and driving the same as humans do. Humans can do it, why can’t computers? Seeing as they have more cameras than 2. In theory they should be better than human drivers. Once it is solved they could instantly drive anywhere humans can.
Waymo has taken an easier route and they have used a lot of detailed mapping with also an assortment of additional sensors. Waymo doing it the easy way has only recently achieved this. Turns out it’s really hard. Harder than everyone including the experts expected probably.
But with advances in computing and things like LLM’s Tesla is catching up. Who knows how long that will take though? I always thought waymo was doing the right thing so I’m biased.
That would be great.
Hopefully one day soon.
The time of exposure was low. Asbestos was also outside and unbroken.
Insulation was only 1 attic.
