Sorry, I thought you’d be able to make some logical inferences and I assumed you knew a little about chess. In chess there’s a concept of strength, and ELO is used as a rough estim…

This is a blast from the past! I remember being really young and buying a GPU based solely on what art was on the box (and yes, it was a scantily clad woman) and getting really, re…

I just bought a M4 MBA, my first since a 2014 MBP. I absolutely hated the 26 update on my phone and iPad but honestly don’t even notice it on my MacBook.

I have ADHD and it almost acts as a body double for me, which I find to be incredibly helpful to get things done.

Not a dev but I’ve had similar experiences testing AI to help me craft various documents. I spend ages crafting the perfect prompt only to cross my fingers and hope that the output…

A one time, 5g “heroic dose” did the trick for me. I’ve had a few more trips at that dose since that initial one but mostly because there’s a whole lot for me to explore in that sp…

This whole game is so stupid to me. It really feels like the employer is trying to screw over the potential employee before they’ve even joined. My default answer to these question…

This is fascinating to me and I have so many questions! How do you feel about life now? Did you eventually end up feeling how you used to feel about life? Was it just a week of eup…

If price is your only concern you could also buy a 1990 Corolla for a fraction of that price too. And it’ll likely still run pretty flawlessly. I wonder if these will stand the tes…
