It’s just a PD adapter. Useful, but don’t spend extra for some brand paying for Verge endorsements.

What expense? Adding one more thing to track about you, especially something they already know and essentially just need to verify, cannot be that expensive.

CDDL not mentioned. Have fun illumos!

Every one of these symbols goes before the number: $€£¥₹

Where are you from where it comes after? What currency do you use?

The only time this comes after the number, that I am aware of, is when you use abbreviations like USD or EUR instead of the symbol.

WireGuard doesn’t work at all because it is blocked in OP’s country. OP wants an alternative. Dumping all security and encryption is certainly an alternative, but I am certain that this is counter to what OP is trying accomplish, given their initial choice of Tailscale (WireGuard on steroids).

Sure, but they shouldn’t.

This is aggressively hideous AI slop, plus the color contrast you chose for the text is sickening. It’s an injustice that they only give me one downvote.

Hey, Mr. Self-righteous. Tell us about how you live in a small efficient urban dwelling served nearly entirely by renewable energy, that you don’t own a car, don’t eat meat, and never take longer than a 5 minute shower.

And if even one of those things isn’t true, I demand a full explanation for why you hate the planet and want it to die.

Especially if you own a car. If you own a car and you’re shaming people for the environmental impact of AI, you owe it to us all to sell that thing today and prove your superiority to the rest of us.

EDIT: Nevermind, just reviewed your comment history to see that you are an enthusiastic spectator of the Russia/Ukraine war. Given that war is the single most ecologically destructive force on the planet, it is clear that you are completely irredeemable, and should keep your snide comments to yourself.

It’s not a real ThinkPad if it doesn’t have a keyboard frontlight.

Edit: Downvoting this joke is proof that I have more ThinkPad cred than you.

That’s what school staff is for, helicopter parent.

Saying “X should be banned” should be banned.

Yeah, this entire project falls apart when you factor in that people actually use the software they’re hosting. I guess minimum requirements are good to know, but this seems of limited real-world use.

You will learn a ton. Also, you will spend a lot of money hosting an activitypub instance. I run a server for fun, and it’s about $40/month to handle the absolute firehose of assets I receive 24/7.

“I hope your day is as pleasant as you are”

If you get mad, it’s an admission that you’re an asshole.

It sounds like your argument here is that AI animation is so legitimately great that it is on par with talented animators. Quite frankly, fuck that, no matter how visually polished AI animations may look, they are generally quite soulless and flat.

The real issue is that people are so reflexively anti-AI that they accuse anything that registers any doubt at all of legitimacy of being AI, even without evidence. This has hurt many legitimate artists who were forced to reveal more than they wanted to about their creative process just to prove to detractors that they didn’t use AI. While hatred of AI “art” is very defensible, directing that hate any anyone you have a mere suspicion of is just making things worse for real artists.

And yeah, the visual clues that something is slop are getting more and more subtle, and that does pose a problem for our ability to quickly differentiate, but that absolutely does not mean than that the slop has equal value to human-created works. Anyone arguing otherwise is just telling the world that they are anti-Human. I which case, I recommend taking a look in the mirror and considering that maybe not all humans inferior to a GPU, just you.

No, the size of the sensor matters, and phones are mediocre cameras. I will die on this hill.

Okay, hear me out. Actually use it as a gimp mask, for BDSM stuff. Put on big headphones and play your own voice back into your ears full volume while someone edges you and slaps you around a bit, forcing you to moan into your own ears super loud if you can’t keep your mouth shut and stop complaining, while also muffling your cries so nobody but you has to hear it.

Anyone know the brand?

Are you responding to something specific from this article? I feel like we might have read completely different articles.

So you’re just going to parrot Elon Musk’s public statement about why he doesn’t need permission? Get outta here!

He has more than 2x as many turbines than is allowed for a temporary install. The article makes it abundantly clear that these things are illegal.

Musk doesn’t have permission to do this, no matter what excuse he gives.
