Kids today barely know what a file is. I have to regularly explain folders and file types. When I asked them where they saved a thing, they answer “On the computer” and look at me like I’m crazy for asking that.

My still new-ish phone is a pixel 4a I got used. My laptop is a 2012 model and my car from 2006.

The release cycles are insanely fast and have been for a while.

Still no LiDAR.

Sensors that the Tesla famously doesn’t have (afaik, didn’t check) because Elon is a dumbass.

A check is more convenient than cash. I can deposit it with my phone.

Using airport maps could give you really nice layouts too.

I recommend the movie “the wave”. Loosely based on a book based on a true story.

Love you too <3

I use Arch BTW.

I’m a heretic, but Vista > 7 and 8.1 > 10.

Don’t forget light pollution.

Y’all take more than a minute to poop?

My modelling is CPU bound as it’s a model made in Fortran by physicists (me included). The fact is that I wouldn’t get a 4x boost, and a model running overnight still would. When I actually need performance I use a 1000 cores compute cluster for multiple days, so that would never run on any consumer CPU anyways.

For the data processing, the real bottle neck is disk access and my scripting speed, so the CPU doesn’t really need to be amazing.

I have an other 2-3 years with my 1600.

Gaming, working (data processing, physical modelling).

The trick is to use a lower overhead OS than Windows.

I’m still using a i7-3630QM and a R5-1600.

They are both enough for what I do with them. Why would I upgrade?

I recommend LMDE nowadays, but it doesn’t really matter.

I feel vindicated that Vista and 8 where my favorite as well.

It’s not worth the cost of ruining LEO and the environmental effects of them burning up in the atmosphere

Yes, every day. I don’t know what you’re referring to.
