Not only are the disadvantages many, but what the fuck even is the advantage?

They're not taller (where height is the height of the cylinder), their diameter is larger. Since holders have the pin a fixed distance from the wall, this extension gives a few centimeters extra between the pin and the wall, allowing for the extra diameter

Turing devised the Turing test as a way of ever confirming whether or not an AI is "alive": if it can fool humans into thinking it's another human and not a machine, then it passes.

The recent advances in llms show quite clearly that it turns out you can fool humans into thinking you're also a human quite easily, thus he would probably revise his test.

Do you by any chance happen to own a (plugged in) VR headset or another device that would consume a lot of USB throughput? I had the exact same issue with my g502 and my problem was that I had plugged in the headset into a port connected to the chip set rather than the CPU directly.

To diagnose, try unplugging every USB device you don't immediately need, that sort of thing.

The reason tobacco plants produce nicotine is to kill bugs munching on them. It's possible a very low dose could be enjoyable to a bug but nowhere near the doses associated with smoking.

Very cool societal ideas. Please do not have children.

I don't think you understand. Would it be nice if society was less dependant on phones for everything social? Sure. It is your kid's responsibility to evangelize to their peers that they have to? Absolutely not.

This isn't a societal question. This is about affording a kid a social life at all. If a kid doesn't have a phone when all their peers have one, there's no "oh well simply only go to events that are shared on something else than phones", because there are no such events. There's no "oh well only socialize with people who will make the effort to only have conversations in person", because there will be at best one kid in the entire school that also doesn't have a phone (hint: they'll be the "weird" kid).

This is equivalent to your parents saying "you may only talk to people at school, you aren't allowed to talk to anyone once you leave school." Surely you understand that this is a surefire way to completely ostracize and socially stunt your kid, and for what benefit? The only thing you gain is that you get to not parent your kid about safe internet use, a thing you really should be doing anyway because they're going to get internet access at some point.

If you wanted to socially stunt them maybe. Please never do this.

Presumably the mountains are generatable offline. The steam friend thing is easily bypassed by the infamous Spacewar loophole
