Yes, but also no. Older hardware is less power efficient, which is a cost in its own right, but also decreases backup runtime during power failure, and generates more noise and heat. It also lacks modern accelerated computing, like ai cores or hardware video encoders or decoders, if you are running those appd. Not to mention lack of nvme support, or a good NIC.
For me a good compromise is to recycle hardware upgrades every 4-5 years. A 19 year old computer? I would not bother.
I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.
This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.
Any recommended firewall block lists (or allow lists) for Roku?
The scientific process derives consensus from not observing what is expected in a theory, rather from repeated failure to observe counter examples to what is expected. This is the whole point of “reject the null hypothesis”.
Stated more plainly, a scientific theory is solidified when you put yourself in the shoes of your own fiercest critics, and attempt to question your own idea (in good faith) and fail to observe any evidence to substantiate that criticism. A scientific theory, is then put under that scrutiny for real, and gains consensus when others fail to observe any counter examples for themselves.
So to answer “what to look at”, the answer is always, what would your competition look at to try to disprove you? Then look at that, to see if there is anything of substance to discredit your own idea, and save everyone the time and your embarrassment in case there are easy counter examples.
You both aren’t wrong… But this isn’t about you.
After months of trying, I still can’t get Linux to recognize the 2.5Gbit network cards, or to function with multiple monitors. If the hardware support was better, I would ditch Windows for good instantly.
I spent an unhealthy amount of time on Reddit. Getting bored of Lemmy is a feature, not a bug. Embrace it.
Pound for pound, the CFM output of vacuums doesn’t come close to the CFM of leaf blowers. Probably because of the lack of filtration. And I guess that’s the point. Why filter material the wind would just kick up in the air naturally anyway? This is a waste of energy and time. Obviously if you are blowing material that normally wouldn’t be outdoors for the wind to blow around naturally, that’s a different story.
I will admit, the sound is really annoying though.
Not only does SaaS hold our data hostage, not only does it allow companies to revoke access to software at any time, we are all subject to the instability of frequent software updates, and changing whims of the software requirements.
Nothing about SaaS is convenient. When I install dumb software on my computer, I do it once and forget about it: it doesn’t need security because it isn’t connected to the internet, I can use a version I am happy with in perpetuity, and I don’t have to worry about where my data is. Now that is convenient!
SaaS is a giant scam and software users have all been conned.
I dunno. You could throw yourself down the stairs. It’s an awful choice, but you could still do it…
The point is, a choice with all kinds of negative consequences to it isn’t really a choice.
I think the “anyone” here really means: “why would average Joe use this?”
As a human ISO8601 is great. Ambiguity is far far worse, than having to read out a date aloud in an order any other than the order it is habitually spoken.
Your logic is sound, but backwards.
Marriage is more analogous to a birthday. (A personal change in status)
Wedding is more analogous to a birthday party (i.e. the event celebrating the change in status).
As you pointed out in your logic, the birthday gift isn’t really about the birthday party, just like the ring doesn’t commemorate the wedding celebration, it commemorates your new marital status.
Unless of course you are the kind of person that is so focused on the wedding celebration that you forget the reason why you are celebrating to begin with (spoiler: you are making a commitment and entering a new life stage).
I think OP is on to something.
Extrapolating the trend line to an exponential curve doesn’t look like a good fit at all. The extrapolation is easily overestimated by at least one order of magnitude, maybe two.
Comparing my city with a city I’ve never been to isn’t all that helpful.
Is “using” defined? Using it daily to get work done is very different from using it once a month out of curiosity or novelty.
You are not totally wrong, but I think if you were totally right, the internet as a world-changing technology would have never come to be in the first place. An internet operated by a single company is basically just a cable service. I think right now there certainly is apathy in the public consciousness towards the value add of keeping the internet decentralized, because it is taken for granted. But I think this is temporary, human society has always been reactionary in that way, we let things back slide, until it gets bad, and we only do something about it when we feel the pain.
To be fair, visible representation is arguably kind of the job description of (or part of) a head of state.
This query works for me in hass with llama3.2:3b.
