There's plenty of tech from my younger days that was fun then that I wouldn't find fun now. An original iPod is not one of those.

The primary benefit for the average consumer tends to be longer battery life due to the same task using less power, in theory anyway.

I like keeping tabs on it, as they're really the only ones pushing mainstream high end ARM chips at the moment.

@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Hoping they have success, but to say that their laptop chips are truly mainstream, at least in the same sense that Apple gives, is a bit generous I feel.

Obviously the X series has a decent shot at changing that, which I really hope it does.

Sure, if you use it for an hour a day, you're not gonna notice it much. And I'm not disagreeing that a lot of the software sorely needs to be improved. The people who are going to notice aren't you. They're the ones using their devices all day for work or similar.

Combo of Aldi's and a local store got me through college. Got cheap as fuck meat (bless $3/lbs ground pork) at the local store, everything else at Aldi's

Whatever meat was on sale. Fry it up in a pot. Add some bbq seasoning. Take off the heat, stir in some cheese. When that's melted, add an egg, whatever bbq/hot sauve you want. High protein tacos for cheap, lived off that for a real long time, and they're actually damn good

Chicago police won't discipline 9 officers tied to Oath Keepers extremist group (chicago.suntimes.com)

I say this as a pothead. If you're smoking in a public area where it's not specifically designated and there's people there that don't want you to, you're an ass.

To an extent, smoking in public is fine. My regular smoke spot is in a park. But I also hike 20 minutes to it explicitly because its as far away from everyone else as possible, and the wind is usually going away from them.

Maybe I'm overcautious, but I remember walking down the street as a kid and just hating the smell of cigarettes. I never found weed as bad, but I don't want to br the asshole who's the reason some poor 8 year is holding their breath as you walk past them.

While dramatic, it echos a sentiment a lot of us have. I am on a good career path. I will never own a home. I likely won't retire. Unless something drastic changes, I can't see any of that slowing down, let alone getting better. That's not even to speak of climate change, increasing world tension and aggressive postering, or any of the other shit plaguing the world right now.

I hope with all my heart we get to a place where I feel comfortable bringing a child into this world, with the promise of a better future for them. That's not the world we currently live in.

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

As much as I don't want to give LTT credit, I think Linus has a point with Chromebooks. Google is playing the long game with them. Students almost exclusively use them these days, and anecdotally, most of them are getting chromebooks and the like for college now that they're getting to that age. That's at least been the case for almost every family member I've had that's started college in the last 5 years.

It's only going to continue as the average Chromebook legitimately is becoming more powerful, and Steam compatibility is improving. You're going to see a whole lot of people who see no need for a PC/mac.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

I think I generally agree with all that. One good side effect is I think this will be the push that gets Linux a bit more mainstream*. It's pretty easy to sideload Linux onto most Chromebooks, so I think a good chunk of kids that like tinkering with stuff are going to try it out, more so than the past. ChromeOS is a lot more restrictive than windows, so there's a bigger incentive to get around it.

  • emphasis on a bit. Frankly I don't think I see a world where Linux has a proper foothold in the mainstream unfortunately.

In general life? Sure. Students? Absolutely not, at least not once you get to college. Sure you can get away with only using school computer labs, but trying to do homework without a computer is borderline impossible these days. Most online homework sites either outright don't work on mobile or are such a pain in the ass that they may as well not.

I had basically the opposite experience. Probably 90% of my homework assignments required some sort of janky website to function.
