Remove your GPU, and basically anything that puts weight on the board. With a heavy enough air cooler, if you didn’t want to take it off, I’d probably try to lie it down flat and make sure it’s on something sturdy but soft like a couple towels. That would just mean that it’s not hanging the weight off the board.

I’m not entirely sure about glass sides, if you have it, but I’d take the panel off and keep it safe like you would a mirror. It should be fine either way but if the case flexes funny I dunno how that would play out. If you can’t make it work then it’s probably fine but that might be the best bet.

Forward the dumb email to the better one, then.

These far-right and otherwise insane ideologies need misinformation to work. Even with the ability to spread it being greater these days it’s also way to easy to doublecheck them with a solid level of confidence and they struggle to be consistent even amongst themselves. They still have power and we can’t get complacent but it sure could be a lot worse.

And then there’s Germany fielding a Nazi party and actually getting some traction lol

And that’s exactly it. Capitalism rewards having money and how you get it isn’t important. It doesn’t breed technological innovation but it sure as shit pumps out new, fun ways to spew propoganda and avoid laws! And oh boy is paying employees well not even close to a metric by which to measure a successful company.

It’s the least people clever in the room having the volume to make sure that no one smarter than them can speak and then claiming they’re geniuses when only their idea gets through.

Are you…ok?

It also feels like they chase the “break things” part as if not breaking stuff is a bad thing, and like we should be proud of them for releasing broken and poorly tested updates.

Move fast, break things, fix the broken things, push update/product whatever. They keep forgetting the third step.

Or Sting playing for Microsoft execs on an island retreat.

It’s like, they don’t need the money so what the hell are they doing?

Turns out there are a lot of those people. They’re probably doing fine.

In the same way that North Korea has “Democratic” in the name, sure. It’s all so surface level as to be essentially meaningless. While I agree that fairness does involve some arguing of that kind of a technicality it really only serves to validate the idea that Israel is justified in any way.

Israel wants to eradicate an entire culture and their people. They want to steal their land and are doing so with the help of major world powers. They bomb hospitals, shoot civilians, and terrorize Palestinians on the basis that they’re somehow owed that land. Hamas retaliated and now Israel is complaining by obliterating the entire country. The “peace” this lady wants is the peace for Israel to continue to do these things without retaliation. She doesn’t want peace, she wants submission.

The mega rich are just terrified of consequences and try, every day, to get their poor behaviour and lack of humanity written into laws and precedent so that they don’t have to ever to take blame for any of the rotten shit they pull.

It would be the same as ending the war Ukraine by letting Russia keep what they stole. Zero incentive not to keep doing it and it validates the side of the aggressor by saying “wow you both need to stop fighting”.

Right-wingers love to cite self-defense as reasons why they should own guns and be able to shoot people who simply knock on their front door but the second a brown person does it after years of being systematically oppressed/genocided suddenly they’re just as guilty as the oppressor, if not more so.

In short, wanting peace in that way is a pretty little lie meant to legitimize terror campaigns and invalidate the damage done to the victims. It’s full of horseshit.

Relying on a hope that someone will do good is, and always has been, a terrible idea. We need to fix that shit at its core.

17min really isn’t that much time and not every minute needs to be fully optimized. I mean, you found the time to bitch about a YouTuber not making an article which is far less time but infinitely more worthless.

And yes, I do I hope I find a job soon. It’s rough out there.

If you really want someone to make it easy for you, basically Lyu has made some absolutely bonkers promises under the old company name from making a carbon negative crypto-currency attached to real-world solar grids using NFTs as a sort of stock option all the way to promising that they’d invent an AI powered digital universe that would be so advanced that it would basically mirror real life. He said all that and declared not only a roughly two year timeline but also that ten years wouldn’t be necessary.

And yet now he and his company can’t even produce this Rabbit thing in a way that can even barely function. Once again, tech bros are showing just how much “idea people” are kinda worthless when they have zero concept of how to execute literally anything with any depth. Venture Capitalists are also once again proving how stupid they are for believing this crap again.

I’m not sure why the length of the video is upsetting you so much. I hope you find more time in your life for suboptimal things. Maybe you should by a vibrator and experience some pleasure.

The video’s not that long and the thumbnail is fine, dude. The content is clear and uses Jesse Lyu’s own words, his own voice even, to spotlight how stupid this whole thing is.

You mad your Rabbit purchase turned out to be shit or something? What’s your angle here?

Thank god you didn’t feel better!

Haha you get me. But man, just the battery? I would have eventually smashed it to pieces with my bare hands, blinked, and it’d still be there like nothing had happened at all.

I used to keep my phone under my pillow(no night table) with an alarm on it.

“Stressed” is not lightly used when I talk about how it felt for my phone to go off and not stop. Alarm off, power off, under a pillow, thrown away, even smashed and snapped in two it would always keep ringing because, of course, in the real world it was under my head and never changing. Once I woke up proper and turned it off the silence was painful and I felt so unrested I very nearly cried.

It’s not an “emotional” nightmare, i.e. it didn’t pull at anything heavy on my mind or anything, but it was torturous as a “physical” one.

I love I have to distinguish between Windows settings and “no, old Windows settings. Go to the control panel” where they haven’t changed it since XP or whatever but you need it for some stuff.

The fucked thing is that it wouldn’t be such a huge deal but they all want to make money on the current number of customers instead of their potential. People are poorer and poorer and have to choose maybe one or two services at a time at the prices they are.

They would rather get one customer for $15/mo than 4 or 5 customers for $5/mo. And they together created an environment where it’s hard for any one of them to make the first move. Healthy competition only really works when people act in good faith and none of these people are capable of that even when it benefits them.

Business people are truly dumbest creatures on this planet. “What if we make them poor and then charge them a bunch of money? That makes sense, right? And if they get upset we tell them it’s their fault.”

Yea, fair. Also an extreme ideology that would be great but probably not feasible. At least it makes an effort to care about people and put power in the hands of those actually doing literally anything vaguely productive.

So the best you got is medieval Iceland? And one of the main point is just on the height of people there while the other is trying to pull the concept of fair wages from butter and meat and shit? The scale alone is so incredibly small and the needs so localized that it has absolutely nothing to do with modern life in the slightest. It is so far removed from our reality that it might as well not be touched on at all when the United States, the shining beacon of capitalism, started with very few regulations and then needed a bunch because “the market” wasn’t doing it’s fucking job.

They also compared Icelandic chieftains to feudal lords in England. Capitalism was invented to keep the idea of the monarchy going when it was clear that citizens of the world were getting fed up with their lords just doing whatever the fuck they wanted simply because they had the money to do so. Making that comparison is almost literally showing how, with a larger population, capitalism ceases to function and just becomes taxation without representation. It’s the same with any extreme ideology, in the end, where it demands full cooperation which simply cannot happen.

Tell me, in your own words, why my points are incorrect. Tell me why Medieval Iceland is a good example when we have so many modern examples of less regulation leading to more needless suffering.

Bonus:

You can still have money in other systems. The reason capitalism just doesn’t work is because it puts all the importance on said money, ahead of all of the people who exist in the world. A person is reduced down to their possessions and how much capital they have and can earn in the short term, and without those things they are thrown aside. Big money means big power and it can use that to further decrease the power of people. We’re seeing it everywhere right now. And more and more the people are afraid of losing what little money they have and so are allowing some horrible things to happen to themselves and others out of fear of losing their scraps.

It just doesn’t work.
