Receiving psychological damage seeing this. The point of the game is ecological restoration and building housing lolol

Did I buy GMs TT-30 adapter purely because I remembered my dad had one, even though th Bolt will still only charge at 12a?

Yes. Yes I did.

(I paid with credit and made it to my dads house, filling up on his RV outlet for the weekend)

Annoying: GM Energy EVGo station wouldn’t activate with my ChargePoint card/account

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

this is what it feels like to post on bluesky

Hell yeah we’re slonking large beverage

just dropped SHEMERGENCY: THE VERONICAS performing "UNTOUCHED" with a full string section in the Triple J live studio!!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wva...

Looks like 2016, which was newer than I thought but I think prior to that it was all lockups and phone cpus weren’t powerful enough yet. One of the Lumia phones had a desktop dock as an option too

it's been twice in just the last five years I've had to call friends to come get me or be rescued by randos off the street then call in a tow to rando GPS coordinates on a highway with no cell service, it just kinda happens sometimes

But the EGMP ICCU is the only potential failure point on any vehicle?? :P

I wonder if part of it is people imagining themselves as being unable to handle any kind of breakdown especially away from home, which like yeah that sucks but it would suck in a Tundra too so ???

Windows 13 rumored to "suck your dick clean off", per sources close to Microsoft.

As ever, but particularly today, from one union worker to hopefully others soon...

despite being Mr. "I could probably road trip an i3" I'm extremely interested in a "400-mile" Ioniq5, could be a great upgrade in a couple more years

and you just know people'll be asking about the ICCU :P

Yeah, esp on the Apple side where they didn't fully try to merge things.

My immediate thought is: bigger disk and more ram, shared data storage locations with each "side" having a unique interface and not try to cross anything over, interface-wise

HP Lap Dock review: the Elite x3 gets a laptop mode, but is the tech ready yet? The future of mobile computing is here...almost.

Maaaaaannnnnnn I'm obsessed with the idea at minimum

hell yeah, looking extremely good!

That's *almost* impulse purchase territory for me, to be honest. I probably won't grab one right away but I might later in the year.

Hell honestly the main reason I'm thinking about "replacing" my 8th gen Latitude 7490 is because the USB-C port failed and "run off my big usb camping battery" is something I like when leaving town.

Otherwise, 8250U/16gb is basically fast enough for my personal life

100%. Honestly, I should probably actually Rufus 11 my Surface Go and go back to it for a little bit.

As a bit of a playtime thing I've also been thinking of picking up a ThinkPad/Latitude/Elite-ZBook trio from maybe intel 11th gen.

interesting comparable from Fedi: iPad 11/A16 (with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage) plus the keyboard folio comes in at $598.

The "What's a Computer?" child has grown up enough that they need to have two files open in the same program at once and this is their entry to the Mac as a platform

There's also Intel Y-series and the N100 and friends but the problem there is AFAICT most of the hardware with that chip isn't very well built

Oh 100%.

I wonder what the state of Linux on the Windows-on-ARM Snapdragons is like?

A couple years ago when that platform was getting started back up there was some brief talk about the OEMs not locking them (vs. in the RT era) and Qualcomm committing to doing some kernel work

(I mostly have no specific Mac need these days but having a cheap one as a sideboard and for tourism might be nice, sorta deal.)

12 would be a good compromise for the Neo for sure. I work in higher ed so I do quality for the 100 discount.

In the spirit of "computers from 2023 are really great actually" my actual next laptop is probably a Dell Latitude 7440 a friend recently replaced.

however comma for someone technical enough to make the decision that linux is better it might be a reasonable choice to go grab something like a latitude 5440/7440 for similar-or-less money and that gets you m.2 slots, ram slots on the 5440, and more mature/widely supported hardware

oh yeah I mean I run an active directory domain at home if that says anything about me.

Apple allows unlocking but IDK if they are putting any effort into linux on apple silicon but my understanding is Asahi Linux is pretty good! asahilinux.org

(but for me it also depends on what type of travel I'm doing and last summer I also had a 2014ish mbp13 and my work precision 5520 with me, each for a specific reason) (I don't remember if I also had the surface go with me but in years before it'd be the go1/laptop1 together for diff uses)

because I can't leave well enough alone I was thinking of grabbing a trio of ~11th gen business laptops to see where Dell, Lenovo, and HP all are slightly newer than anything I already have lolol

Because I'm not reasonable I have a long winded story about the history of which computer I bring with me but last summer it was my latitude 7490 and then it's usb-c port failed and so it's still the 7490 but I'm salty about not being able to run it off my anker camping battery
