You lost me at developers. Hard disagree.

For what it’s worth, my company issues macs by default, but allows Linux or Windows if you request it. We just use Google Suite. Zero problems collaborating, and I work in a customer facing role.

Tja ,

You don’t pay cash. You hire someone to deposit 100M in your bank account. You pay with your vip Amex.

Tja ,

It would take less time, sure, but what do I care? I’m not doing the work, I pay someone to do it. With my infinite money.

Tja ,

Ok, I will need that off-grid cabin in the woods after all…

Tja ,

It is alive and well, never died. Many project still use it for communication, support…

Tja ,

I was one of those. In my defense, 2012-2015(ish) he really was doing cool things. Tesla and Space X were super innovative and brought optimism. Then a time traveler stepped on a bug, the whole Thailand pedophile fiasco happened and it went downhill from there. Now we have yokes, dumb turn signals and the whole cybertruck, not to mention removing ultrasound sensors to save a few cents and the whole Twitter debacle. At least space X is still somehow unfucked?

In case it helps… I’m sorry.

Tja ,

Same. Can’t judge about auto industry or rocket science, but I know a thing or two about software. And… Yeah, everything he’s said about Twitter internals (and sw dev in general) is brain dead.

Tja ,

No. You’re paying for the rent if the probable airport kiosk this photo was taken in.

Tja ,

For batteries eneloop are good, but so are Ikea batteries. The ones Made in Japan are basically eneloop clones for a nice discount.

Tja ,

A developer wanted to earn money for software used commercially? Oh, the humanity!

Tja ,

Plenty of FOSS projects have commercial licenses. Pfsense, MongoDB, TrueNAS, Elastic, Portainer, Proxmox, Docker…

Tja ,

This is absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing. The “Why The Fuck Would You Even Do That Holy Shit Public License” made me laugh out loud. Good stuff, and I agree 100%.

Tja ,

I say: who cares? What if they use Attack/Helicopter? How is that “fucking it up”? Are they hurting anyone? As long as trans people are protected, it’s a positive, isn’t it? I would use innocent/awesome, who is negatively affected by my mugshot?

Social media companies made $11 billion in US ad revenue from minors, Harvard study finds (apnews.com)

The researchers say the findings show a need for government regulation of social media since the companies that stand to make money from children who use their platforms have failed to meaningfully self-regulate. They note such regulations, as well as greater transparency from tech companies, could help alleviate harms to youth...

Tja ,

This has always existed. I don’t even think it’s that bad. When I was a kid, TV was flooded with ads for toys whole December and part of November. Where were the articles about ad revenue from minors?

EU to use COVID-19 mechanism to bypass Orbán's veto and provide Ukraine with €20 billion (english.nv.ua)

The European Union is preparing an alternative plan to provide Ukraine with EUR 20 billion (22.09 billion USD) in financial support to circumvent the veto of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, reported the Financial Times....

Tja ,

Very important detail, the headline is then straight up false.

Tja ,

Until recently, my daily driver laptop. ThinkPad x200s from 2008. When covid hit I started using my desktop and a month ago I tried the laptop and it doesn’t turn on anymore :(

Nowadays nothing noteworthy… maybe my smartwatch, Samsung Galaxy Watch 1.

Tja ,

Any base on those claims that batteries aren’t going to get cheaper? They have been for 15 years. There is still progress to be made. There are LFP that get rod of cobalt. There are sodium batteries in testing that will reduce lithium demand.

Tja ,

There’s much worse content on here already, so who cares.

Tja ,

As I said, there’s already worse stuff on here. If you have more content, you also have more bad content. Who cares.

My 8TB Seagate failed a week ago and I was looking into new drives. The cheapest HDD was around 25 EUR per TB (for the 18TB ones) and the cheapest SSD were under 50 EUR per TB. No idea where this “7 times cheaper” comes, maybe from 2015.

I ended up buying a 4TB Crucial MX500 with 4TB for 208 EUR (barely enough for my data, but with some cleanup it will hold a year for sure).

Not only it’s faster, it’s smaller (fits in the NUC), it’s quieter and it consumes much less electricity. I don’t think I will ever buy an HDD ever again. Maybe for surveillance recording?

Tja ,

A 4TB SATA SSD is 200 EUR. For 96 TB you would need 24 (probably less for 80TB usable). It would cost between 4k and 4.5k. Prices are going down fast.

Tja ,

Power consumption, noise, durability…

Tja ,

I have seen nowhere near 250-300 for 20TB disks in Europe. Maybe in the US the SSDs will also be cheaper…

Tja ,

My 4 bay HDD NAS uses around 45W, 50W with some light load, 70W spinning up. That’s about 1kWh per day, or 150 EUR per year.

I use it in my room, so I very much care about noise.

More durability = less redundancy (less cost) + less frequent swaps (less cost). My anecdotal evidence is 1 failed SSD in 15 years (160GB Intel, basically first Gen). Every other SSD is still working. I have a drawer full of failed HDDs.

Plus more performance.

Tja ,

Maybe regional differences. I’ve been looking for 3 days last week and have found anything under 20 EUR per TB, more like 25 for non-sketchy sites. For new drives, I’d never buy a refurbished again. SSDs are similarly priced, around 50 per TB for brand named ones.

Tja ,

Ok, like 100 bucks for 16-18 SATA controllers, assuming the mobo comes with 6.

Tja ,

There is a substantial difference indeed, now the setup is basically silent (I don’t load the CPU enough for the fan to kick in).

Tja ,

I compared cheapest per TB. The HDDs were most efficient at 18TB, the SSDs at 2 or 4 TB.

Tja ,

I don’t trust shipping internationally. More chance of damage, plus import duties, plus tax, plus difficulties for RMA or warranty.

The conclusion is similar tho: SSDs are only 2 times more expensive (not 7 as the article claims) and that makes it worth it for me given all the advantages the offer.

Tja ,

Yep, we pay something around 40 cents, depending on your contract. In 2022 it even went above 60 cents for a few months :(

Tja ,

I have the opposite, fans are silent (mix of noctua and silent wings), disk activity can be heard quite clearly if the room is silent.

Tja ,

Fair enough, for Germany there’s no chance of paying such low taxes. And when I checked there were no deals, 160 bucks for a 6 TB HDD, and 20 TB are all $400+.

And my media library (Kodi gang) sits at around 2 TB at the moment, plus maybe 500GB of photos and documents, and some work files, so one 4 TB drive is enough for everything, my 8 TB NAS and 8 TB USB HDD are just backups now, plus some rarely accessed data (steam library, for instance).

Tja ,

It won’t, but it will kill some Israelis as well, and that’s a sacrifice internet armchair generals are willing to make.

Tja ,

Yes, gold is expensive, more at 11.

Tja ,

Except now you need even worse debt to buy a house. Two years ago interest rates were around 1%, now it’s over 4%. So the house is 10% cheaper, the interest more than tripled.

Tja ,

Do you have a million under the mattress? Because if you need a mortgage, it’s even worse now than in the past, despite the slightly lower prices.

Tja ,

Sure, ECB.

Tja ,

Transitioning to renewables would be better, but if we need to depend on one country, I can’t think of one better to rely on than Norway.

Tja ,

Can confirm. If/when something happens to the VPS I’m hosting mine, I’ll be moving to a fully managed solution. Probably cheaper, too.

Tja ,

Second this. Bought a Model 3 almost 3 years ago, before Musk went full unhinged.

Yeah it’s not perfect, but it’s a great car, especially for the money. Any issues I had, have been solved by the warranty service.

I probably wouldn’t buy one now, but back in early 2021 it was the best thing on the market.

Tja ,

This is neither simile, metaphor or hyperbole. If anything it could be a strawman, but more realisticly it’s just rage-bait.

Tja ,

Your smallest house? How about sell everything and start renting an apartment like every working person?
