Was it one of those automatic toasters? Technology connections made a video on it.

Theres a difference between addicts and junkies. Junkies have my empathy but I really understand why someone wouldn’t want to spend prolonged times in the same space with one.

Living in a 2 room apartment. So one living room, one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a small hallway. About 65sqm/700sqf total. This is a major city in Europe, and I live outside the center, but not really on the outskirts either.

I’m OOTL. Why are people upset with Torvalds?

You forget that regulation exists. That is the only other option to reduce manufacturing of stuff like this. Relying on the “free” market is usually a bad idea, because in this world there isn’t really anything like a free market. Every market is disproportionately influenced by the people who benefit from the status quo.

I mean, free usually implies a shittier version, no? So it could very well just be incomplete.

Nobody says there will be a complete big Mac at the end of the week

ohhh that makes sense. thanks

I don’t get it. I mean I see the fedora and the neckbeard, so the “m’lady” kinda makes sense but I don’t get the rest I guess

Funnily enough I heard mechanic friends say that EVs need the brake rotors replaced more often than combustion cars, because the EVs use the brakes so infrequently that the rotor just rusts so badly it needs replacing.

I’m dreading the day my bad mouth hygiene will catch up to me… I know how bad it is but I still can’t get myself to brush every night.

That’s still super low cost compared to all the regular repairs a combustion engine needs, especially when you consider that combustion cars also need tire replacements, just a bit less often

In German there’s an insult: “Sitzpinkler”. It means “someone who sits down when peeing”. Never heard anyone use it seriously though.

That’s kinda beautiful

Why didn’t you keep in touch, sounds like a fun person

You’re looking at the wrong numbers. Most people won’t notice the difference in transfer speeds for large files. Most people will notice boot and loading times, where the results are diminishing.

Let’s take a theoretical system that has an HDD and boots in around 30 seconds.

It gets upgraded with an SSD. According to your numbers, the Boot time would be better by a factor of around 3 or maybe 4, making the Boot only take around 10 seconds. That’s a difference of 20 seconds, clearly noticeable.

Now it gets upgraded to an nvme drive. The speed increases by an even greater factor of around 7 or so, but you barely notice that because the PC only boots 7 seconds or so faster, much less noticeable than the 20 second difference before, despite the drives being blazing fast in comparison.

I’m not saying nvmes are worthless or anything. Just that in day to day use for most people its not as noticeable as the HDD to SSD upgrade.

They are able to reuse the rockets

They are essentially doing the good side of capitalism - making stuff cheaper

I mean yeah, it’s cheaper due to technological advancement, but I fail to see how that’s an effect of capitalism. I’d argue similar developments would have been made even without capitalism. I just don’t think we would have the desire to leave this place without capitalism, but that’s besides the point.

But the jump from SATA SSD to nvme is much less noticeable than the one from HDD to SATA SSD
