If sapolsky believes the Sapir whorf hypothesis I do too.
Your uncle in Vietnam has a smartphone, no internet, no number, and NEEDS the signal app? He might need solar, electricity and internet first.
Seiko invented the amazing quartz watch which was a marvelous invention of timekeeping with a crystal rather than mechanical links. Now a quartz watch is a sure sign of a cheap commodity. LED cuff links will be outdated quickly, probably less than a few weeks, maybe even after the first few wears it would be gaudy.
Phones came out and killed homebrew. Now the developers developed cool super compatible stuff without needing you to hack the hardware plus games became stagnant on consoles. The PSP when I bought it was known as a boring rehash console with nothing but re-releases but the hardware made it worth it.
Plus they haven't made a good exclusive since Bloodborne. No Xbox exclusives afaik.
Don't worry, gaming peaked a long time ago. There's a huge backlog of great games that are better than their remakes like XCOM. Aside from graphics, I'd say AAA gameplay has even regressed in many ways. Indie games do their own thing and run on PC.
I am only familiar with his YouTube, and then this topic. https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel Here are his examples.
It seems 1:1 compatible when I switched.
They dress up the carbon causing steel beams and concrete with trees but don't forget the tree roots also destroy infrastructure, and at the end of the day it's (toxic) lipstick on a pig, and the continuous maintenance of the lipstick until the pig dies. Cities and human habitats are either being reclaimed by nature or fighting it. Until that fundamentally changes green cities are as realistic as carbon negative oil.
All of knowledge work is very alienating.
I never got the appeal of those laptops either. It's not a Thinkpad, its an Chinese motherboard that is overpriced to get it working with a nice keyboard, and yet you'll still have to bend your neck to use it unless you're using the dock.
Wifi canaries.
The binary option I think of is not needing any documentation like for the one click jailbreaks means that it probably doesn't need much documentation.
Definitely prefer the GitHub pages that assume you don't know how to install and makes it stress free versus something like sway and configuration, do people end up with Manjaro instead.
On long calls, I will have delayed audio or glitches, sometimes from facetime, or the network but because of your comment I tried to use the speaker and it was better. I'll try disconnecting them occasionally thanks to your comment. Thanks!
