A bit, I have a huge collection of CDs ripped to MP3 that are nowhere else digital streaming

I find the weird weird thing is to listen to local radio or satellite radio. I only do it for short trips where the radio turns on automatically and it’s not worth the time to put decent music from the phone.

You forgot automake.sh to the list of ways to solve the problem that still suck

Yada yada I think Valve is well meaning and I’m still to trust anything Microsoft does is well meaning. OpenAi is just the latest manifestation of how you could do things well but intentionally choose the evil path.

Just this one time

And same for music. What year is this 2010?

You can make 20% drops in value look harmless if you flatten the graph enough

Wait until you hear AMD is treating OEMs now as bad as Intel did on their most glorious moments.

I’ll try to buy as few computers as I can until Risc-v is main stream.

That sounds fun on mobile

Mechanical things suffer a lot of stress from turning on/off. But even spinning disk storage turns off automatically if desktop is idle for a certain time, it’s a balance between switch vs continuous operation, they have overlapping kinds of wear and tear.

Top of mind, you can expect 10k cycles from typical buttons and it’s hard to be less complex than a button. Because metal parts are subject to fatigue.

Flash based drives would certainly fail faster or slower depending on the number of write bytes over its life.

Then there’s erosion caused by electrons, which is my biggest suspect for the problems of last generation of Intel CPUs. You have to royally screw up to start selling something that overlooked this.

Oh dang, a cheap driver is probably $0.50 cheaper than a half decent one that can take the hit.

In Australia anything has 12 months warranty by law, this factory would bankrupt quick.

As an EE graduate I want to hear more about what dirt means and what driver can be affected by it. I’d expect power electronics to stand 100% over voltage over short periods and easy 20% long term, which would blow up lots of other things on the house before the driver or the LED starts performing worse.

LEDs can take quite a beating. The only thing that degrades then is being on, and being hot. For all purposes unless it’s inside a restaurant kitchen or they’re on, they’re not hot.

Other packaged electronic components follow the same rules. Except wires and solder that can oxidize without being used.

So no, I think that’s a grift if you can’t reach 5 years. When domestic LED lighting was in infancy we’d hear all power LEDs, like for cars, should last 10 years.

Second step: get an apron and a giant sized toddler chair

Potatoes on edge, rice chicken and leaves in the middle

Pork can be either, it just overheats and cools quickly, if it’s great enough it’s not going to dry. Otherwise do like chicken.

Lasagna: slice it and make a ring

If it’s a dish that’s all homogeneous like fried rice, make a donut

So you’re saying it’s not ok to let people do informed decisions? Or are you saying that the city that charges less wants also to sell less?

Na that’s just plain old lying

1000% I came here to say this

But also, there’s places in Lemmy where you can vent. But not necessarily heal, if your mental wounds are too deep.

I hope you find better happier days

That graph is what the herd behavior looks like. But if you break down, take 2 people who are actually on bottom quartile. While on average they think they’re 3rd quartile aka a bit above average, one of them will have impostor syndrome and the other one will think they’re the smartest person around. Then for the top 2 smartest people around, one will know it for sure and the other will think of themselves less than the overconfident newbie described above.

Why? You just have to prove you bought a phone and posted a photo/video on a right leaning social media and you get the right to have a screen on your phone.

Price wouldn’t change.
