I waited too long for the M4 Mac Mini, I waited too long for the Oled Steam Deck. What's the next thing I should wait too long to purchase before it becomes not worth it?

Incorrect. Field sobriety test like walking a straight line or doing those bizarre tests can be difficult for those who haven't been drinking. Now if he refused a breathalyzer or blood sample and he was sober, that's the wrong move. If he refused a breathalyzer or blood sample AND he was NOT sober, that's the correct move. It's far cheaper to take the one year license suspension than get a DUI and deal with all of those issues. This has nothing to do with the officer, but protecting yourself.

This is exactly why my comment goes over the head of people who cry just get the basic boards. No, this is why the basic boards for $100 don't cut it. You now need to dive into the technical data and realize that the $100 board seems like a deal for a reason, and suddenly the $300+ category is your only option if you want to get a PC that doesn't run on fake specs.

Motherboards used to be $100, $200 for the high end. Now they want $300+, ram is crazy, storage, video cards, etc. I'm not surprised sales for these components is hitting a wall.

This is neat, but I will stick with Instax wide. With a $1000 mint body you can get full control of the film. Is it the same aspect ratio? No. But I can get film at Target and it’s instant. Very cool, any analog film is awesome, but this price just isn’t sustainable.

Thankfully the App Store doesn't allow side loading, because it completely stops fraud like this. At least that's the number one reason why I keep getting told if we allow side loading this will happen.

If only people had spatial awareness, they would look around vs listening to their phone changing directions randomly while walking. The bell is for both persons safety.

This reminds me of the photo of the vehicle assembly building featured in Iron Man: https://adactio.com/journal/1530/

Oh my god, where has this been. Is there any way you can make it work for 14.4? I desperately need this.

The whole article makes me mad when they factually get so much wrong. Like I had to stop reading.

My friend who has worked for some big name companies is absolutely struggling to find work. So many interviews, 3rd, 4th round, and then they go with another candidate, or I can only assume someone internally and the listing never existed. It's killing me watching him struggle to find work.

13" is not 11" As someone who used their 11" for years, it was a workhorse. A slow workhorse, but I still yearn for that size.

My M3 Pro with 18gb of ram still feels like a beast. The only thing I can make it suffer with so far is generating meshes from 3D scanning, and even then I'm just patient. Apple is suffering from success with these older laptops, it's a tough sell to upgrade, even from the M1 Max folks.

Show me an HDR display that is 2000 nits peak HDR calibrated 27" for under $3,300. Not a gaming monitor. Closest you can find is a lilliput UQ31 that has half the nits.

Driving my LG oled at 120hz over HDMI. What?

I believe Houston used bluetooth to measure congestion on 45.

I had to look up SIGECAPS before I read the rest of your comment. Big oof when I did. Never heard of Anhedonia, but I sure have it.

NIMBY over rules stuff like that. It's like pemdas, NIMBY is #1.

Handy that McMaster Carr has them 5541T605 Edit, I just noticed you posted the same link that's funny.

If I had 6 months to live, and had no other options, I wouldn't care if a drug killed me in 10 days. Give me the option.

If I buy a gift card through my banking app, using reward points, is Apple entitled to 30% of that?

When a company says that they're here to stay after an acquisition that usually means the opposite.

10cent beer night is up there with this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxTtzLUteDA

He asked ChatGPT to run the command in a sterile environment. He knew it was a bad idea to start with. It's a quick and dirty method in case you don't have a virgin VM lying around to try random scripts on to see what they do.

I'd say something edgy about paying attention but that wouldn't be nice.

We're so close to "please drink a verification can" green text from 4chan.

Still no way to replace battery, so in 3 years tops this thing is e-waste.

As someone who started with junk printers from the very beginning, and now sell 3D prints, please don't buy a machine you have to assemble. Don't learn how to dial it in. And spend more than $1,000.

Your time and money is worth more than trying to make some open source diy kit printer do what you want. Bambu has body slammed the market with printers that work.

Get a H2S or X1C, run it in lan only mode if you're paranoid, and don't look back. H2S is a better option for your material choices.

My comment will probably get flamed because I'm not saying Prusa makes the best printers and only support open source, but do you want a tool that makes things, or do you want to waste time baby sitting your tool trying to get it to do something others can do out of the box.

I WISH my machine was open source, but the reality is it's not. It's like asking what mill to buy, but rulling out HAAS and Bridgeport because you're ok with trying to machine around crazy slop.

You can't exactly charge back the AppStore because you risk losing your entire account. I'd much prefer every app be billed separately because then I CAN request a charge back, without fear of literally losing my entire phone, house access, etc.

Your definition of good, is my definition of a prison.

Gold, make sure your debts are low, trim expenses now. Start thinking long term, what things will you need 5-10 years from now that will only be much more expensive or hard to get.

Paid day cares probably have a big issue with this.
