So… Findom?

It’s ADHD bait. When I am on my meds, I get a dopamine hit every time I progress or solve something.

That superstition unfortunately gets a lot of sweet cats killed or neglected.

I’ve had one apart and to be fair they are not carelessly made. They’re jacketed in soft silicone under the braid and have thicker than average stranded conductors. You can totally use whatever cables you want, but theirs are built a little better than you’d think and they just feel nice.

Maybe this is a tactile/autism thing for me?

Not the person you responded to, but my m1 max macbook pro is used to dry run changes to my kubernetes cluster by running 4 virtual machines and networking them. My previous pc could pull it off fine, but my macbook can run a virtual cluster for hours on battery.

Because of the unified memory, you can use all of your ram as video ram for the purposes of running a massive LLM if you want local AI. there’s a plugin I run for VScode that emulates github copilot but runs entirely on device and offline.

Apple’s ARM implementation is really nice for getting a lot of specific work done. Mine spends most workdays docked and being used as my primary workstation.

I am also of the same mind personally. It’s just the admin that’s such a huge issue.

We had a samsung 4k curved tv that has ads on the input menu, and the ad space is filled with a samsung ad if the set has never connected to the internet.

It also harasses you with a pop up about connecting occasionally on startup.

It’s bearable but absurd. We returned it on principle

As someone with some insight: furries tend to have body dysphoria. They really don’t feel great about their body and want escapism.

Personally I had a very “you are dirty and disgusting” type upbringing from my christian parents that thought shame would be a good motivator.

Yeah… especially considering our general stances on things, that inversion really sucks. Hopefully this isn’t a common opinion.

Reading that actually made me double-take and check the modlogs. It was so…. Confident.

NGL I thought my instance had gone off the rails while I wasn’t looking for a second there. Getting lumped in with hexbear and .ml is pretty rough. Beehaw? Good company imho.

DLSS is off the table, but you CAN raytrace. That being said I do not see the value of RT myself. It has the greatest performance impact of any graphical setting and often looks only marginally better than baked in lighting.

Central heat pumps are a thing. You are thinking of mini split systems.

I’ve recently been functional like this after taking acid two weeks ago for the first time. I’m nowhere near my neurotypical husband in terms of having my shit together, but it really seems to have made getting out of bed and functioning easier.

NGL i don’t know how to interpret that. I don’t know how long this will last, but it’s kinda nice not hating myself.

Actually that’s a pretty distinct possibility

Option 4: trump and the GOP in general still views his assassination attempt as the danger you have to live with to live in a “free nation”. It’s the cost of freedom. Something something “just because i got shot doesn’t mean taking everyone’s rights away is a good idea”

Growing up in texas, this is a very common view.

I am literally on lemmy enjoying sitting in the shower right now. The fun part about being an adult is now only my husband can give me shit. And he doesn’t. \o/

Waterproof phones are nice.

Didn’t like the tone of my last attempt to reply, so here’s a rundown from a hardware enthusiast perspective.

Single board computers with no thunderbolt cannot have an external GPU, and have soldered permanent processors

The U sku on that cpu denotes low voltage. That cpu will have much worse performance than you expect. Ghz numbers usually advertise boost clocks, not stable performance.

Even when an external GPU is an option, the memory bandwidth of thunderbolt is not sufficient to run most cards and will result in micro stuttering and overall reduced performance. Usually you lose ~30%-50% of your performance depending on the card.

To top all of this off, you cannot use the steam deck as a reasonable expectation for this class of hardware. The deck runs a custom APU with a beefier than normal GPU. You will not get that performance from the linked micro pc.

It’s just the problem that was brought up has been a solved issue for quite a while. It’s cool if they didn’t know though, i can see the redesigned big picture mode isn’t well advertised.
