Also using plugins like camelcamelcamel can help with this. Shows you a graph of history for prices
Uhh. Have you seen men in black? /s
haha. Part of the reason I like Linus is he does impractical expensive things but still votes for competition and knows what the average Joe/Jane budget is. The alternative video of the cheapest laptop is a good show that he can see both sides.
It's not about visiting a forum post I made in 2007. It's about visiting a forum post about an obscure issue that someone solved in 2007.
I see this as a big issue for content going forward. I get that reddit is one single point of failure but I wonder how you can keep knowledge in a static state when most instances lose money and it's a hobby. What happens when the owner grows tired.
Haven't we already passed 1C. 1.5 is a pipe dream imo.
My heart goes out to these parents. Abortion care is healthcare. 💔
Counter point. I would wager people are more productive scrolling 5 minutes through a Facebook post then taking a 30 minute coffee break talking to various coworkers. I would hate this. Also if you're a developer how would you research something? No stack overflow? No access to forums to solve particular problems? Not sure this is sustainable.
IRC is where I get most of mine. IRC highway and evooks
I'm kind of tired of triple AAA games right now. So much crap out there. Not sure if it's an issue of sucking the gaming industry dry or what but buhhh. There are outliers but it's pretty exhausting.. however emulation has never been better. I downloaded some OG Pikmin, Mario, etc and been playing through them and having a blast. Such an interesting time that a raspberry pi 4 can play a ton of the oldest games for "free" and the new stuff kind of gets forgotten about in 6 months.
RimWorld. It's amazing what people can do from QOL to whole new factions or weapons. Amazing and the dev is very helpful during updates to try and not break mod support. Just blown away.
Maybe not a breakthrough compared to some of the other comments but home assistant got local voice control this year. For the price of a raspberry pi and a 13 dollar microphone you can have a completely local home automation system controlled by your voice. You can even hook it up to a LLM like chat gpt if you want via a different phrase to do some fun party tricks
