I got some 20 hours out of my M1 Air when I tested it after the first full charge. Then I decided to charge it. Calculated at various points that it would last roughly 25 hours and it sure seemed like it was going to.

Much of this time I had Xcode running and videos playing, etc.

Subsequent charges never lasted this long because I installed more bloat, but still always over 10 hours even when I had a bunch of shit running.

Jesus, they really used their real names, didn’t they?

That’s nasty lol

Meanwhile, Telia in Estonia: “The Estonian customer doesn’t prioritize connection speed or price, that’s why we don’t need to offer competitive speed/price ratios compared to what we have in other European countries”

Most people do.

Mine’s just old enough to not have ads but new enough to have apps for plex and other services I use. Next one is going to be disconnected and have some flashable Android box connected to it. Or even just Apple TV as that’s still better than most native UIs.

You are indeed.

Just wait for snap 2.0 which actually runs everything inside docker containers /s

Oh yes, very soon, they’re building it now is about how it would go. Once Rail Baltica gets built, it’ll be not only feasible, but by far the better option. I’d just need to get someone to ship me my shit, which is inconvenient because computer hardware is expensive and brittle if not packed correctly.

I mean the House of Saud is worth over a trillion dollars I believe.

Putin could also easily have over a trillion dollars in assets, but they’d obviously be hidden. Does he? We’ll never know.

Oh, I’m Estonian. I could literally just drive to the Netherlands and not go through a single border check. It’d be a long-ass drive, but with a station wagon it’s easier to take my stuff with me than with a plane.

Any suggestions for software companies to apply to?

This is pretty much it, in my view.

Americans need to watch the Estonian-Georgian movie Tangerines before demonizing “the other side”. Besides an anti-war movie, it’s also about a movie about how two sworn enemies realize the other is also human.

A good clip to watch if you’re not interested in watching the entire (relatively short) film

Your original comment was wrong on several counts and this one… just says nothing. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say even.

I actually order way too much, but it costs like 2 euros to get it delivered with a 5€/month subscription. My time is worth roughly an euro per minute. Anything farther than a 5 minute walk is a net loss to pick up on foot. There’s nothing closer than a 30 minute walk there and back. Car also takes fuel to get started

If delivery starts costing me 10 or 20 euros, I’ll start walking or driving to pick up my food.

I went and dusted off my reddit account to see how quickly I could get banned. Of course, all the comments I made were in /r/conservative so I’m assuming I’m getting a subreddit ban the second any of their mods wake up.

Nvidia developed PTX, DeepSeek leveraged it to do some load balancing work they couldn’t do in CUDA. They still also use CUDA.

I suppose Internet speeds in Canada have really improved then. A decade ago people on reddit calculated that you’d be better off buying an external hard drive and driving to the US if you wanted to download large files in much of Canada. And the US isn’t exactly known for being great for broadband availability either

Multi-beam and Matrix LED headlights will cut oncoming traffic out of their beams. They’ll blind you less than any other type of headlight. You can see it best when driving in fog. It’s not expensive tech in 2025 either, that’ a damn Škoda Octavia in the video, I rode in one the other day and it had cheaper plastics in the interior than my first car, a 1992 Audi 80.

It’s mis-aligned headlights that cause the most problems. And people retrofitting HIDs or LEDs into enclosures that are not meant for those.

Yes.

I’d like to also tell you about the time an English brigadier responded “pretty sticky down here” when asked about the situation - ~600 Brits were surrounded by ~10k Chinese. Of course, the American General who had asked him didn’t think twice of it, but apparently when a brit says “a bit sticky” it means “we’re all about to die”, not “oh it’s not too bad”. About 40 survived.

Other favourites:

“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.”

The plane was landed safely. But I do imagine the passengers were in some distress at least.

“We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.”

Churchill, about WWII.

I think they were suggesting that in Europe there’s a way best passenger train network and it’s possible to live without a car.

Ah I figured more funding for areas with more kids would mean more lanes for cars, so less walkability. This being the US we’re talking about

What do you mean? Trains are vehicles.
