I’m using my old Nokia to this day. And why? Because “suddenly being stopped even after a few feet” wasn’t “difficult to mitigate” for Nokia. In the last 15 years this thing must have survived more than 100 drops, sometimes down a staircase. When I pick up the back cover, the battery and the SIM card, it’s as good as new.
You transport the dishes, sure, but do you eat from them while standing? I was specifically referring to handheld devices.
Uh, not really what planned obsolescence is.
You’re right, but I couldn’t think of a short term for this. I found ‘bad’ design too broad, and it’s not ‘hostile’ design either.
Thank you very much for your kind words, my dear sir.
I’m comfortable opening it up, but applying thermal paste, possibly fucking up and frying the chip? Hell, no! :D
Edit: If I start tinkering with this, I’ll first look into other fans that might shovel more air more quietly.
Thanks for your post. I learned something.
I do worry about the temperature because I don’t like the smell of burnt dust. Also the coating of my table starts decoloring if my laptop sits on it at peak temperature. All that would be avoidable if the fan controls would just raise the fan speeds sooner.
I’ll check it out, thanks. Unfortunately, it’s for Windows only.
I used to have trust in the peer review process, thinking this is why it takes months or years for a paper to get published. Are you telling me it’s not real?
Sadly, I cannot remember which YouTube video featured this: But a guy basically speedran the description of how to solve a quadratic equation the Babylonian way, that is, drawing squares and circles and shit. It took quite a while for him just to list the steps. All that disappears once you learn the formula with the bad, scary letters.
And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.
Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?
That might depend on the police force (i.e., state) we’re talking about. My colleague told me that when he hit a deer and called the police with the deer still lying around, they just shot it.
This is Germany. Most bullets fired here end up in deer instead of people.
In Germany you can always tell if a historic thing was good or bad by whether it started or ended in 1933.
Technically, the oath says not to ever perform an abortion.
I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.
Though there may be a loophole, since Hippocrates seems to acknowledge the existence of surgeons (“I will not use the knife, […] but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein” ), and his oath doesn’t seem to apply to them.
If a child was 6 when Yu-Gi-Oh came out (1996), they’re now 28 and may have been on duty for 10 years.
no or fewer children
So… they killed other people’s children?
I used to think people stay years on death row. Are you saying you can stay morbidly obese on prison food?
It’s interesting that even on lemmy people aren’t so open-minded to give eating insects a chance.
I wasn’t trying to imply that. When I said “frying the chip” I meant through bad thermal coupling.
You’re the first person to suggest that, and frankly, I find that counterintuitive. Everything isolates if it’s thick enough. However I’ll also look into that someday and see if there’s something to it. Thanks again.
