Mounting it further out to the side would add bulk, though. Also, that looks pretty heavy, so moving it out would mean the user would have to strain more to keep their head plumb. Mounting it on the forehead is an option, but then it would need a lot of rework to add a second eye, and there's no path towards being able to wear a hat or helmet.

It is very beneficial that the camera points in the direction your head is facing, though. And the easiest way to achieve that is to just mount it on the head.

When I was a newbie some of my first distros were RPM based, and there was no yum or anything like that. I just downloaded weird RPMs and installed them with --force, and more often than not it worked fine. After switching to Debian I quickly learned that when installing stuff there, you don't try to force DPKG into doing anything. But first I had to fuck up libc, and also learn what libc was. If you're used to ignoring all sorts of warnings from your previous janky OS, it's not that far fetched to fuck up your Debian despite the warnings.

That, and of course they're going to ignore the warning and make it blow up, they need some drama for their video! Most of their content follows the formula of first fucking it up, and then trying to fix it after. For their target demographic that is the optimal choice: It's relatable for the viewers, who also fuck up their system all the time, and also impressive because he sometimes manages to recover! His viewers would never be able to get out of that mess, clearly Linus is a tech GOD!

Both can be true. He definitely let Cheney run foreign policy behind the scenes, but that doesn't automatically mean Bush was an idiot.

George W. Bush was a lot smarter than he let on. He realized early in his career that the bumbling persona he put on made him more likeable among the rubes. That's not to say that he was a genius or anything, but he was smarter than people thought.

In this case, one of the stated goals was inclusion into the main python distribution.

I challenge you to find any Linus video where he doesn't act like a bumbling fool. It's his whole thing.

He's a bumbling moron in everything he does. I don't know if it's a schtick or if it's just how he is. You have to be pretty technologically illiterate to take any cues from him.

Altman is a well known liar. He was even fired by the board of OpenAI for lying to them previously.

Special Military Operation, baby! You don't need congressional approval when you change the words around!

The thumbnail reminded me of Grand Moff Tarkin, the full image not so much.

To be fair, doubling the amount of charge cycles is not great for your battery. So even with a charger available one should consider whether it's worth it.
