About spaceisballer

    It’s standard practice on the internet when talking about building PCs to mention Micro Center. Either “it’s cheaper if you have a microcenter nearby” or “this same bundle is $50 c…

    The real decline started after Edward Snowden and all the information that came out about the NSA. It really sparked distrust in the government. Trying to get people to respond to …

    I actually didn’t say that aren’t that useful. I would argue that I don’t think the payoff is worth the cost. The areas investing unholy amounts of money and passing it among the l…

    I have no doubt there are similar stories to yours or to a lesser extent. And while I’m glad you have gotten some relief, what price are we paying as a society? I’m not just talkin…

    Solid read especially for someone not in this field. While everything I’ve learned about LLMs has been pretty interesting, all I can say for sure is that I’m more and more skeptica…

    I want to see the person buying the Neo and pairing it with a new Studio Display.

    There are certainly some news outlets that operate like propoganda. I mean Fox comes to mind, if you ever watch you’ll notice they carefully craft their statements and rarely talk …

    I’m in the same boat. My Boox Go 10.3 is collecting dust. I used it for a while, but I just find it easier to flip back through paper notes as opposed to tapping or swiping through…

    In college I always took notes in class then I would rewrite them and at the same time organize them. In my study groups people would always copy my re-written notes. There was cer…

    That’s been my personal experience. Spend plenty of time looking at all kind of options to optimize my ir my teams workflow. Then just fallback on pen and paper or some very simple…

    I just want a decently large screen because I have old eyes. A 6.1” phone works fine for me.

    I have memories of going to the library in the 90s to read MacWorld. Then learning that if I did a few clicks and maybe keystrokes you may unlock something with the processor. I ca…

    You have to demonize the government in order to come in and start trashing the place. Obviously there is going to be some waste to trim. But instead they came in, asked zero questi…

    I regret spending the money on the long range Model 3. It’s something I charge every day because I can at home. Sure I could charge it once a week for my commute, but I just charge…

    Reminds me of a book I just read, The Lifespan of a Fact. Solid read going into fact checking versus telling a story and figuring out where the line should be. Definitely entertain…

    I’ve had a Palma 2 for a few months now. Looks like I have around 30 hours reading on it so far. Literally on use it as a reading device. Sadly it’s less frowned upon to look at a …

    Sadly as the author stated, it may not matter. But even Tim Cook is giving a million to Trump’s fund. The President is going to the highest bidder, but who cares because big tech w…

    I know some cars have the blinking when you are applying sudden pressure to the brakes. To alert people behind them they may be stopping quickly. People use their hazards in some s…

    You’ve nailed it. I miss my Audi with headlights that moved when I turned the wheel. That alone would fix a lot of the issues of being blinded when coming around a curve. A lot of …

    It’s definitely not e-ink, it’s a type of LCD. Been reading about it and it seems like users are pretty hyped about it. I don’t really need another tablet, I want a really good wri…

    I like using FancyZones which is in the Microsoft PowerToys suite. That way you can snap things to a 1080p resolution part of your ultrawide screen. My other simple option is just …
