Almost everything you have written here can also describe Canada. There is an Australian YouTuber named Chris Kohler who does really funny little shorts describing things happening…

I'm not much of a MacOS fan, but his laptop is the best laptop I've ever owned. I got the 8GB/256GB version and it was worth the price because my kid still uses it every day. The 7…

Yes!!! This happened to me also. It took me a day to get my account working on all devices again.

I have some Prana pants that I really like, but don't wear too often. Recently someone asked me where I got them and I said, "hmm maybe 5 years ago at MEC." A month later I came ac…

Some weeks would go by and I would just check n-gate to see what happened on HN.

I am using the exact same model. Ryzen 5600G w/32GB and an Nvidia P40 w/24GB VRAM 20/33 layers offloaded to GPU, 4K context. Uses 25GB system RAM and all 24GB VRAM. 5-7 tokens per …

I switched from Globalstar to Zoleo (Iridium) because Globalstar wasn't reliable enough for use cases like messaging the float plane pilot. I'd often have to wait for certain times…

Same here. I have been trying to understand this practice for years and have never succeeded. Maybe someday it will click.

I'm still living this dream today. It's amazing how terrible brand spankin' new "hospitality" (hotel) TVs are when it comes to poor implementations. It is still whack-a-mole and of…

I've lived in SK and AB my entire 40+ years. The coldest I can ever remember experiencing is being in Paris on valentine's day in the early 2000's. It was just below 0c but the hum…
