@samhenrigold @TechConnectify just don’t use the pods

@samhenrigold what does it mean?

@samhenrigold mahahahah!

@samhenrigold That was so funny! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

(I like the special edition Polar seltzers, WB Mason is, yet again, the only company that has it in stock + ships to me. I’m not thrilled doing this but the nearest grocery store that carries it is a Stop & Shop in Maspeth which is like 50 minutes away on the F)

@jimniels third option if space permits on the initial alert: “It’s fine I guess; go away and don’t ask again”

@samhenrigold they could save a lot of money by killing products *before* they're developed

You know a company is full of shit when they start sentences in a freakin press statement with lowercase letters.

@samhenrigold
> The company explains that the LLM it uses runs on the cloud, which is something we never questioned.

Well that's a relief. I was worried the $200 gadget actually had a chipset that was worth the price.

@samhenrigold has this thing been rooted yet?

@samhenrigold @notboring that's awesome!

@samhenrigold @notboring Make sure to check it for state-sponsored backdoors

@samhenrigold @notboring @matthewcassinelli can you guys remember the disco cd burning 🔥 app with the smoke animation? 🚬

@samhenrigold Imagine trying to take on the iPhone and fumbling that hard 🤣

@samhenrigold Marti Fischer is somewhat Youtube-famous in the German speaking world, I'm also surprised you would get this in your Spotify algorithm :D he does fantastic videos, but not sure it's as enjoyable with subtitles

@samhenrigold Oh this is a whole thing on TikTok (there’s a dance)

@samhenrigold TikTok is why

@samhenrigold I prefer mackieOS, personally.

@samhenrigold hold on lemme untuck my desktop

@samhenrigold

@tvler Sent from my Ericsson T65

@tvler
My dad used to have "Sent from my Atari 2600" as his signature

@tvler When that was first introduced, I changed mine to say "Sent from my Commodore 64"

I mean what's the point of a non-sequitur flex if its not saying something objectively cool?

@samhenrigold I like how his fingers end up matching his garb at the end.

@samhenrigold

Someone's going to say this was pro-Hamas propaganda.

@samhenrigold Yeah 3D Touch's replacement is very pee and poop.

@samhenrigold @Gargron Courage

@ActionRetro sean what

@ActionRetro w h a t

@eb Fully support this. I think the classic example is Figma: it’s traditionally a developer tool and gets used on absurdly powerful machines but it’s also used by high schoolers on school-issued Chromebooks. And it has to be optimized heavily for both use cases without being (too) opinionated or throwing a “your hardware can’t handle this” message

Evan, at one point, when I worked at VK, we had an XP desktop set up in the corner of the office so web developers could test things on old IE. That was in the early 2010's.

@samhenrigold I honestly don't think I know anyone outside the fedi who has purchased their own computer in the last decade.

They're a thing your employer chooses and insists you have against your will.

@samhenrigold
Might I also suggest buying something cheaper still and experimental, like an ARM SBC or second-hand electronics, so that you can experience what a further group, outside of your nation may have to cope with.

@samhenrigold: the best place to visit would be Starbucks, a university campus (especially the study halls), or a co-working space.

My family typically get laptops from Costco. And people also like buying stuff from Amazon.

To be fair, I've been seeing a lot of desktop computers with at least 32 GiB of RAM. It doesn't help that I just graduated from uni.
