There's still money to be made everywhere. It's just hard to compete in the markets against the entrenched giants that have been around since the 1800's. I feel there's more a shift towards making money "entertaining" than there is to made through the standard business model.
I'm in the "flashlight nerd" gang, and I've learned to store my long-term storage li-on batteries at near 50% capacity to extend their life tremendously. I've also implemented this strategy with my portable chargers, and they've lasted for years now at full capacity still.
Agree with this. I've honestly been thinking about tapping out of the rental game and just going full van life for awhile, with the ability Starlink grants to us remote workers.
Battery on someone is never justified for a belief or words someone says. Defeat their ideas with debate and steer them towards a non-violent resolution.
Creating art with stable diffusion has become such a fun hobby of mine. The difference between SD 1.5/2.0 and SDXL is massive, and it's impressive how quickly the quality is improving with this stuff.
The range is also typically laughably bad also. I just can't justify having to perfectly calculate a trip, or ending up stuck on the side of the road with no quick ability to just gas it back up.
In the long term, they will lose out. It's like Tinder vs your local dating pool. Why limit your options to a very small subset of people, when better options are just a tap away (ssh tunnel away)?
I'm the same with this. Both and me my partner work remote, and we spend so much more quality time together, and are able to take breaks with each other. I can't see giving that up.
I honestly think it's mostly a huge ego boost to flex with. "Look at how GIANT our new billion dollar HQ is, and look at all of these people working for ME!"
I honestly love that zoom feature, because with Google Maps, I can't count how many times I've missed an exit due to thinking the blue line was just a little further up, and there's multiple exists clustered together.
I've used PHP daily for over 10 years. Honestly, my favorite language, along with Python. "It just works" on pretty much every Linux distro out of the box.
