not really, unless you get like a mini pc. you usually don’t save much money at all on prebuilts. maybe look into refurbished or second-hand machines if your setup is very old?

what videos are those? flightgear looks like ass without mods so maybe it’s modded? also flightgear runs on a baked potato so i wouldn’t worry too much.

when it comes to building a machine, you’re unfortunately going to have to deal with rgb. the supply/demand situation has gotten us to the weird place where components with christmas lights on them cost less than those without.

it is apparently D-segment, yeah. i have a C-seg car and have found the model 3 to be very similar in size, but maybe that’s just a matter of the height making it look smaller.

“slightly lower” == 2/3rds, apparently. the model 3’s pack is 250Wh/kg. also, 500km range in what? the only way you could fit an equal-range battery in a contemporary compact vehicle like the model 3 would be if it had almost double the density of Li-ion.

thus rendering them redundant, because their strength is being bound to a single physical device. if they’re portable, they’re as good as asymmetric key pairs.

they do record, so it will be quite obvious which person suddenly starts looking like a star in the footage.

in the comment i replied to you only mention that there’s no benefit, and you replied to me talking about carbon footprint.

we do a lot of things for no benefit. video games, golf, horse racing, grilling… all those have far larger carbon footprints. as someone else said, focus on the actual negatives of generative ai, like the proven cognitive decline and loneliness.

they list the others in the article.

no, there is no difference. at least if ubuntu studio has hooked apt up to discover; it’s usually mainly used for flatpaks.

“using” water tends to mean that it needs to be processed to be usable again. you “use” water by drinking it, or showering, or boiling pasta too.

idk if that’s the intended takeaway from those numbers.

According to AllAboutAI analysis, global AI processing generates over 260,930 kilograms of CO₂ monthly from ChatGPT alone, equivalent to 260 transatlantic flights, with 1 billion daily queries consuming 300 MWh of electricity.

according to the faa there are on average 5500 planes in the air every day, and while i couldn’t find an exact number there seem to be between 350 and 1 200 transatlantic flights every day, depending on season.

260 tons is still massive, but let’s not kid ourselves. it’s about equivalent to producing 12 new american-size cars.

the roslagsbanan commuter rail is the only actively used 2 ft 11 ³⁄₃₂ in railway in the world.

…honestly, with a wikipedia article that extensive it hardly qualifies as “obscure”.

yeah i also find him lovable, but the point is it’s the same sort of gag ttat tbbt does. and they’re all over the show. so why do we feel so differently about them?

idk man. s3e2 (the “ludicrous display” ep) has an extended bit about moss being anal about staples. it’s still laughing at him. and there’s no foil for him there, the gag is just that he wants to know how many staples have been used.

the one scene that really got me to pause was when moss laughs at a circuit board. i’ve been that guy. i’ve laughed with colleagues about bad hardware design. but… the audience is not consisting solely of electronics engineers. they’re laughing at him. more exactly, they identify with jen in that scene, and joins her in thinking moss is weird.

i agree, but why?

but the problem isn’t “we can tell this photo is from a specific phone”, it’s “we can tell these two photos are from the same phone”.

oh hey an actual joke in programmer_humor, let’s check the comments

interestingly it crowd was apparently filmed with an audience.
