Personal vehicles made life worse over time.

When you guys are walking everywhere you'll be regretting this insanity. Don't bother responding, I'm not interested in your delusions and Lemmy.world has proven that real discussions are not possible here.

Oh, I can't criticize unless I'm an author is it? I can suppose you'll hold yourself to the same standards for praise then?

'Cause if you can't know bad without also writing, how can you know good? Otherwise that would be an illogical double standard.

how technology can help aid in fascism.

One only needs to read the twitter files if they want to see how true fascism is occurring today. We don't need an obnoxious book.

truth is he’s actually doing something to push back and make us all aware instead of just saying to just be okay with it.

What has he done besides write a poor imitation of 1984?

Maybe Amazon doesn't carry it because Cory Doctorow is a shitty writer? A mountain and a dishwasher? Why do people read his trash.

 

Zalman have a few for around $50, anything better available in that price range? Needs to accommodate a huge 3-fan GPU cooler.

Since it's a tip, no. "Illegal to modify for use as legal tender" They can claim they were never going to tip, thus "it's just a prank bro".

CPU with thermal paste applied in hexagon shapes. Looks a bit weird because I removed the normal CPU bracket and installed one that just screws down. On some sockets the cpus were bending because of the way the bracket applied pressure. The one I installed is completely even.

They have managed to build software suites that have been stable, consistent, and near the cutting edge of their industry for decades while avoid significant bloat and legacy hangover.

Are we talking about the same Adobe here? Adobe software generally does work but avoiding bloat? Have you installed Reader lately? They have their share of instability as well.

Inkscape is one of the better open source UIs IMO. There's a lot to learn about vector ve raster graphics but that's not the fault of Inkscape.

Gimp took a while to figure out.

Blender has got the be one of the steepest learning curves out there though. Not that the UI for Blender is bad. It's just that there are 5-6 different sections and each section is like learning a new app. It's huge and does everything.

A subscription isn't buying a hammer. A subscription is buying access to a hammer. Access that can be revoked at any time. That's not very reliable.

Not your imagination at all.

Don't buy products that are clearly anti-consumer and you won't have issues like this. Of course Apple devices may as well be jewelry at this point. Who even cares if they're charged? Just nod your head like there's something going on.

Get a universal remote for your home theater. Flipper isn't really that usable and not enough buttons for that task. It can, but you'll be much happier with a Logitech Harmony.

 

First time I've seen a stencil for thermal paste. Pretty slick. Also hoping the CPU bracket prevents any bending issues. Probably wasn't going to be an issue but for $7 worth it.

This is my main PC and last time I rebuilt it was 6 years ago. Not going for a huge rig as I don't game all that often. The RX 7600 is twice as fast as my previous GPU and I only paid $260 for it. If I can get another 6 years out of it that will be plenty.

Full specs:

  • Intel Core i7-12700KF
  • Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 Gaming OC 8G
  • MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4
  • Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 510 180W TDP CPU Cooler
  • G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB
  • dual Samsung 980 PRO 2TB
