I will say that LTSC runs way smoother than regular windows, but that’s almost certainly because it’s got a lot of the bullshit stripped out.

Lmao. Are you offering pay my bills and provide health insurance?

Oh god don’t even get me started on our network drives lol. Searching for part drawings can take HOURS

It’s not really a matter of preference. I’m a mechanical engineer, not a developer, and several industry-standard programs are only available for windows. Bugs that come from running in WINE or another emulation layer are unacceptable when they can potentially cause delays in production, scrap parts from a misprint or miscalculation, or lead to a part failure that kills someone.

I actually have a batch script (might be a powershell script?) with this and some other stuff in it for when I’m doing a fresh install on my pc.

My work pc is locked the fuck down though, I can’t even change my wallpaper or the color of the taskbar lol.

Oh man I forgot about that one. Dumbest shit ever, I love it

Unfortunately, I have literally zero control over what’s installed on my computer at work

Lmao yup, the desktop app ‘new’ outlook takes up to 30 minutes to load sometimes

Windows+L locks it directly, fyi

Today it took almost 30 seconds for the context menu to appear when I right clicked on a file in windows explorer. I mean ffs, if I wanted everything to be a browser, I’d use a chromebook.

(Inb4 “install linux”, it’s a work computer and I don’t get a say in OS)

Realistically the connector would have been proprietary, but I can see a world where we got cartridges that came in little cases like the games for nintendo ds or switch.

mAh/g (milliamp-hours per gram) is essentially still a measurement of capacity, but in terms of current instead of power.

We can do a little dimensional analysis here to translate between them. Power = Current x Voltage, so you’d multiply this (Current x Time)/(Weight) value by the nominal voltage of the cell to get to (Power x Time)/(Weight).

Phone batteries are often specified in units of Current*Time (e.g. milliamp-hours), but I’m not completely sure why. I think it has to do with voltages being standardized for certain types of cells, so the only real variable in the battery capacity is the current.

Edit: rearranged some ideas to make more sense

Beware, obstructing your license plate can get you a ticket in a plurality of states. Not saying you shouldn’t do it, just that you should be informed about potential consequences.

Interesting! TIL

Yeah, disliking non-sequiturs inserted for their own sake is a good summary of my point.

I actually hadn’t seen gibe before, but a quick search suggests it means something pretty different. Per Grammarly:

Gibe generally means to make mocking or insulting remarks, used predominantly as a verb. On the other hand, jibe can either refer to a sailing maneuver… or mean that something is in agreement, often seen as ‘jibe with’.

I think it has to be considered by degree of consumer-fucking. Some companies, like Micron, are outright discontinuing their consumer brands while others are ‘just’ deprioritizing consumers to chase the AI bandwagon.

It’s those companies’ prerogative to chase profits, but I’ll never buy another Micron product again if they ever decide to come crawling back.

Yeah I’m not actually against marvel quips, though I definitely feel they became detrimental to the writing style of their films over time. When I complain about it, I’m really complaining about interruptions where they aren’t warranted and don’t contribute to the narrative.

A good quip isn’t just funny- it can contribute to audience understanding, help with pacing, and fits naturally into the narrative. A bad quip interrupts the narrative for no reason other than to interrupt. I don’t really have a good example for this, it’s more of a ‘know it when you see it’ situation. It was definitely better in the early marvel films.

As much as I love witty characters like Spider-Man, not everyone needs to be comic relief and sometimes it just doesn’t jibe with the story being told.

I recognize the reference, and am also not actually against people having joy in their lives.

My problem is with the use of a tool that is built on a corpus of unlicensed works (regardless of how you feel about the current copyright system, which imo is broken af) and has caused significant environmental and economic damage to the world.

Fucking slop images contributed less than nothing to the article.

/etc/init.d, uh, finds a way

Go off, king. Great points. I can’t bring myself to give a shit about anything this person has to say if they feel the need to interject Marvel quips into their own article.

It’s interesting, especially for compact or oddly-shaped devices, but I imagine these printed batteries are not great for repairability. The nice thing about cells is that they’re pretty standardized- it’s simple to identify, order, and install a replacement part from your vendor of choice. With these custom batteries, it might not even be possible to replace depending on how the OEM designs the parts, let alone find an alternative if the OEM doesn’t sell replacement parts.
