I remember a talk a few years ago where someone engineered controlled detonations to destroy a single server in a rack without damaging any surrounding equipment. Was pretty fun to follow the engineering.

I’d love to have one if I had the space. My toilet is roughly one square meter. For illustration purposes, that size, only less grungy. These are leftovers from how they used to plan apartment buildings in the late 19th century in Vienna.
One third Trekkies, one third talking about how shit twitter and Reddit are, one third content.
If the traffic plummets, YouTube wins. Serving content to ad-blocking users only costs them money. They don’t want those users.
Really? Where are you located? I walk past three clocks on the way from my office to the metro station alone.
But that’s the thing. When that Video was made, almost all of the advertising was focused on the same BS the article is disagreeing with.
I remember lots of NordVPN ads by uninformed nontechnical creators just reading the provided script. Saying that Balaklava wearing hackers will steal your credit card data just by being in the same cafe as you, and only an expensive VPN subscription can protect you from that. Or that only using a VPN will protect you from malware.
This sort of advertising is what Tom Scott critizied back then. IIRC he even said that there are real use cases, but that you shouldn’t believe the fearmongering. Same as the article.
The fearmongering advertising was the problem, not advertising the service itself.
Because the main use case for most people - browsing the internet - sucks on e-ink. Scrolling is horrible.
About a hundred probably. Almost exclusively porn. I’m fine with porn, but I want to use All without scrolling past 10 pairs of tits to see one normal post.
And a handful of just annoying communities. The ones reposting Reddit content, US politics, crypto stuff, that sort of thing.
Being really stupid is a requirement for being a Neo-Nazi. Stupidity is not an excuse.
What lights do you use?
I simply wouldn’t take a job with a one hour per way commute. Takes me 15-20 minutes max, and one less work day a week sounds sweet.
Community to make fun of conspiracy theorists. Used to be wacky, “I think the birds outside my window are working for the government, anyone know a crystal that can help me” sort of thing, became a little sad with COVID.
On the ole 600euro communities you regularly see people posting these screenshots as “proof” of tracking devices in vaccinations.
Chill mate I’m not even from the US. There still is no practical use for this.
Concorde wasn’t profitable in the long run. Nowadays with video conferencing, even less people need to show up to a transatlantic business meeting.
Unlikely this makes financial sense.
That’s a really creative scam, I respect that.
Already am back in the office 3 days a week. One is mandatory.
Games used to take a looong time to load before flash storage, so people would go get a coffee or something while loading. Before main menus, it would just drop you into the game while you were away, potentiality missing something. So they added the “press any key” pause to wait until you’re back.
For some reason they kept this until today.
I’ll use the cliche meme of “I was today years old when I learned where the name comes from”. Just made the connection when I read this article, and I love Pulp Fiction.
But I too am not a native English speaker. Just always accepted the clunky acronym as the reason for the name.
