It’s all offset by the small screen. Playing Ghost of Tsushima on low-medium graphics coupled with frame gen is chef’s kiss on a handheld.

I use both on a Galaxy Fold 5 and can confirm Chromium based browsers are smoother. Although I still use Waterfox on my phone. I just keep a Chromium based browsers in case a website doesn’t work when I visited it using Waterfox.

Isn’t 404 media the guys from Vice who left before it imploded?

The dude really gave off Stephen Holstrom from Pantheon vibes. (Even if they made him look like Steve Jobs)

It might depend on which part of the world they live in. In the West? Not so much. But in a third world country? It might very well be a day’s work wage.

What if you live in a country that doesn’t send any money to Israel? Also, boycotts do work.

I asked Bard whether they could make a bastardization of rogersimon10 post and it made this:

Ah, the 2012 Fiesta EcoBoost. A pocket rocket some called it, a ticking time bomb I preferred. Owned one myself, sunshine yellow with a dent shaped like a screaming Muppet (courtesy of a rogue shopping cart). Let me tell you, that car was less a vehicle and more a high-octane game of Russian roulette with pistons.

Every morning was a gamble. Would she purr to life like a hungover kitten, or unleash a symphony of coughs, bangs, and the ominous "Check Engine" light disco? One day, the radio spontaneously switched to polka, which, let's be honest, is only two steps away from a thermonuclear detonation in a Fiesta's internal combustion fiesta.

Speaking of fiestas, the fuel gauge was as reliable as a politician's promise. One minute it was brimming, the next it was flashing "Bone Dry, Mate," even if I'd just filled it. Learned to carry a jerrycan like a Prohibition-era bootlegger, never knowing when the engine's thirst would strike.

But oh, the things that little lemon could do! On a good day, that turbocharged engine was like a caffeinated hummingbird on steroids. Weaving through traffic, leaving Audis in the dust (until their turbos spooled up, of course). Handling? Razor sharp, unless you hit a pebble, then it was suddenly a drunken ballerina on roller skates.

Comfort? Ha! The seats were about as plush as a park bench, and the suspension was tuned for "Feel Every Pebble in the County." But hey, it kept you awake, which was essential considering the constant fear of spontaneous combustion.

In the end, I sold the Fiesta to a circus clown for a fistful of juggling pins and a lifetime supply of those tiny, uncomfortable hats. He seemed thrilled, probably because the polka radio was a bonus feature for him.

So, would I recommend a 2012 Fiesta EcoBoost? Only if you enjoy existential dread, questionable fuel efficiency, and the thrill of living life on the edge (of a breakdown). Otherwise, stick to something safer, like a heavily sedated hamster. You'll thank me later.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a tow truck and a very suspicious mechanic who keeps asking about "jumper cables." Wish me luck.

P.S. Don't forget the jumper cables. Seriously. You'll thank me later.

I don’t want the money I donated to be used for the benefit of the MIC.

I’m using Fold 5 and can tell a difference in scrolling performance between Samsung Internet and Firefox. There are also some issues regarding how the UI handles transition between folded to unfolded and vice versa.

This is a known issue

I tried doing this the other day. Due to my current GPU (3080) it was too many hoops to jump through just to play a game. I don’t want to spend time configuring my setup to make the game run in the little amount of free time that I have ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Although the system is very efficient I’ve decided to move my side project to be on Linux, making my Windows install to be purely for gaming. I was using WSL previously with a Mac for my day job.

Maybe if I switched to an AMD GPU I’ll do a proper Linux gaming setup.

The thing with LLMs is that they learn from existing tech and use cases. My work is niche enough that LLMs are unable to make meaningful contributions on the code side. However your assessment is true where an overzealous junior dev can make a lot of shit stuff faster because they don’t really understand the code the LLM spits out.

As for myself, I mostly use it to help breakdown requirements so I can better work thru it, help me think up edge cases for tests, and be an interactive rubber duck when debugging an issue.

It can show things that you’ve never downloaded if your ISP assigns a dynamic or shared IP. So it means some of your neighbors are into that kind of thing.

Once in a blue moon I liked to prowl on the music review sites (ew, I know) and check out the artists featured there. Sometimes I found a couple of gems that I still listen to today.

If you smoke, you should be allowed to vape in an attempt to quit. But if you never smoked, fuck vaping. It’s too new to be thoroughly studied for health effects.

I use Blokada 5 on my phone to block ads and trackers and the fucking banking app stops working if I have it turned on. FFS you already have my money why did you guys need to harvest more of my data (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
