  • It’s one of the better bad designs, in some cases. Something, something self-regulating air flow. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.

    If there was any intelligence involved in our design, it was similar to a kid buying aftermarket parts for his car on eBay that then strapped them to one or two bits of ultra high grade equipment. The end result is something like a nice Supra that drives around town making weird farting noises.



  • I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

    I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.

    Lulz. I was reminded of the conspiracy theory “jet fuel can’t melt steal beams”, for some reason.

    (While that statement is technically true, metals can get extremely soft while they are heated close to their actual melting points. You know this, but it’s surprisingly easy for many to overlook this basic fact because of the specific data on melting points and such.)

    Thanks for filling in the gaps, btw. Data good. Nom.

    While I don’t know exactly what happened here, if the pan was dry or all the moisture was cooked out of the food, there isn’t really much to dissipate heat.

    If this pan was a cheap alloy, it was possible that it had a low melting temperature. If the stove was on high, the pan will eventually get as hot as the stove allowing it to melt or at least, collapse under its own weight.




  • What my familiarity is with one ideology or another is irrelevant to this thread.

    But yeah, ml/c/usa is a great example of mostly anti-west mass posting by a vocal minority. We could get into specific subjects and events that may or may not be true, but that risks detailing the point of this thread. (This may have changed over the last few months, but I doubt it.)

    For generic cut-n-paste responses, all you usually need to do is mention anything about Ukraine or Chinese gost cities. Those are just two glaring examples, but I am sure there are more.

    Your experience is going to be different because you likely have different views than me. That’s not good or bad, it just is what it is.

    No, I am not a fan of .world either. It’s got its own set of issues.


  • I have and blocked nearly all of it. They have fuck-all to do with Marxism or Communism and mainly focus on Kremlin and CCP anti-west propaganda.

    It’s worse than the “conservative” communities, actually. It’s not so much about promoting a cause as it is about telling everyone else how they are “bad”. Any dissent is usually met with insults or walls of cut-n-paste posts that all point back to state media sources or fake sites.

    While all places have their own degrees of circle-jerk mentality, it can be especially bad in some corners of Lemmy.





  • The proper metric to plan around is longevity, unless you absolutely need performance now.

    Performance and cost should be divided by time. Do you think that bit of hardware will be able to support software for the next two years, or five? That is one way to “compute” value, anyway.

    A 4090 will eventually be outdated and unable to run new software, but that may not happen for a good number of years. If you want to get super deep, start crunching the numbers on power costs too. It may simply become too inefficient to run, eventually. (Hell, it’s probably super inefficient now, actually.)

    I almost always buy top-tier “last-gen” tech, right after “new-gen” is released when I am saving money. When I have the extra cash and it makes sense, top-tier may also be a good investment.

    Be honest with yourself and determine what matters most to you and put your money there.
