That's where the anonymity comes in. Why the hell would you use any personally identifiable info? Just use mjr69420.

It's this ability to find random comments on obscure stuff that really made me love the Internet.

Nowadays, the social media stuff, and frankly, the influx of idiots, has turned into garbage. Their thoughts should still be archived and searchable though.

Yeah undervolting is always worth it.

You can also limit your i7 power usage, so no need to go for an i3 if you have the money.

TBF the performance per watt is also nuts. 7 year old is Haswell-Skylake (same performance mostly)?

Alder Lake impresses me, but Ryzen is the better choice because f Intel heh

Right, and that would be an extra ~100 Euros/month on utilities for me. Say it's about as much for fuel if you have to drive every day. Luckily I can get to work using my feet. Not great, not terrible.

I couldn't find any 17-21" portable monitors last time I wanted one. They seem like a no-brainer to me, but apparently there is no market for them? It's either 13 inch and overpriced or full fledged desktop monitor...

I'm near the bottom of the wage list and even if energy costs triple, I'll do fine.

Not sure what others are doing.

Depends on what you mean by "fine", too.

Yeah, fuck Putin's Russia.

Everything in the media is a load of "WE'LL ALL DIE TOMORROW" bullshit these days.

Just to get people's attention.

Shit will be fine.

Lol yeah, it's like how I say I can't live with these health problems.

Yeah, I can, it turns out. Our bodies can take a loooot more stress than we think.

I already use as little as possible, so I don't prepare.

I do want a solar installation for myself though.

Why not, drugs are easier to buy on Instagram for the average person. Even though AlphaBay is very easy to access, it's still not that easy. Everyone has an Insta account.

Now, hiding their identities... yeah, some improvements can be made

Movie stars are quasi leaders these days, sadly.

Eh, everyone wanted to be a rockstar or some sort of celebrity.

At least now they can give it a go for free.

But it does seem like fewer people want to do metalwork or be a mechanic or do electr-ic/onic repairs of some kind.

Many of my peers became welders and they're the ones raking in cash all the time, stable as hell.

Incidentally work that is being outpriced by mass production, proprietary solutions, planned obsolescence and to a lesser degree, automation.

Fuck Russia, but Pakistan does not have sanctions on it. And the EU won't do anything to them if they keep importing from Russia.

Perhaps use "US" instead of "EU", it works better on the morons believing Russian garbage.

They wouldn't. If anything, they'd go up since people would have to actually use their brains and set up real targeted marketing (even ads) instead of the current "show 20 ads, rake the CPM cash and hope we get some leads, too, YOLO".

There was a short period where it seemed like it would happen - context aware ads, links and affiliate products, each page was served different ads or none at all, with no privacy stuff it could also be very effetive.

Alas general ads won, and they do make more money for the platforms since they can show the same ads for stuff you have already bought/installed.

We were taught civics and society alongside math. Children/pupils/young adults also did cleaning, tree planting, everyday group work. I'm surprised some countries don't have that, it helps make a better society.

Yeah? I need plenty of health care myself and I've been shat on nearly every time. My flippant attitude doesn't affect you nor anyone else. I just shit online like everyone else.

Then it's not your fault.

I'm talking people building or renovating and then bitching about expensive AC. Talk about idiotic.

I'm in a town where more than half the roofs are black. BLACK! It has been over 30 degrees and sunny for two months of summer. Guess what complaints I kept hearing?

Reflective paint helps in summer much more than it hurts in winter.

But beyond that, I just hate people going "Reeee we need to do something about the climate change" who do absolutely nothing themselves.

I don't.

I'm not.

I'm just posting my brain waste here like everyone else.

As long as people won't even try to install a solar concentrator while bitching about rising prices, I won't take any of them seriously.

Such a simple design, can be used for at least heating water for 3-6 months. But nah.

Same for which the roofs. You don't have a white/silver roof on your house? Fuck you.

On that note, you like cruise ships? Also fuck you.

Steel is just iron mixed with a minuscule amount of other stuff. Which is a pretty amazing fact imo

Sure, but somewhat lesser, but still innovation, on the Internet/WWW itself was made by young adults in their dorms. Current billionaires included.

I hate myself for having been born with fucking mental problems.

Yeah, my acquaintance does something similar, collects ebikes and scooters with a GPS jammer, takes all the parts and dumps the frame.

A big waste imo, though newer models have trackers inside the battery - smart considering it's quickly becoming the most valuable part.

I fell a lot and never hit my head. I get the danger but I'm glad it's not legally required

Wait, you can ride drunk? That's a point deduction on your driver's licence in other countries lol

Tbf I stopped doing that because I fell a couple of times, last time really hard, too.

I have a work/comms phone and a home/media phone. Don't care about privacy from companies/etc, that doesn't actually affect me irl right now.

People I know affect me and those who insist I have to answer within 10 minutes are the insane ones.

The German gov won't give you your tax return if you don't tell them your current place of residence (abroad, in DE they know everything) lol

But yeah, private companies on top of governments is even worse.

Only because it's the most common tbf. If you could get heroin in any supermarket, that'd top the charts :D

Better drugs.

I love drugs that directly affect the brain. It's incredible what you can do, they give you direct control over your own brain/body.

I hope in the future biochemical augmentation will be just as accepted as electromechanical.
