Or I can just not buy a bmw :)

Reminds me of subscription heated seats in bmw cars. The hardware is already there, you paid for it and you can’t use it unless you give the automaker a revenue stream on top of the tens of thousands you already paid for the car.

So this was all just simulated? Where are the pictures of the build?

Back in the day i built a 4-bit CPU on a breadboard (it was huge actually spanned 3 breadboards). Programming the ROM by hand like cavemen (to be fair it was the cave ages). We didn’t carry cameras in our pockets so sadly we didn’t get a picture.

At the end of the post they hint the actual issue here is “wanderlust”. This person seems to enjoy moving - unlikely they’ll ever prefer to own instead.

Did you then Google to corroborate that history LLMs told you with actual references? They could well be confidently wrong as they always are.

Same here heh

Hey now you know how she paid for all those home assistant gimmicks.

Wow entitled gatekeeping much?

What if parent already knows the answers to that and the question they really want to ask is … wait for it… the one they actually asked?

If you want to ask a different question go right ahead but cutting off others like this is plain rude.

lol. He’s using Windows in the first place so, clearly no.

> I don't need it to agree with me, I don't need it to like me […]. I give it instructions

You kind of need it to agree with you though. Otherwise there are some instructions it will refuse to carry out.

You and I can smell vibe coded slop miles away. Most people can’t.

When you care so much about something that you just vibe code the whole thing including your manifesto. Wow. This is some empty crap right there.

> ReactOS is far behind what Windows 11 is capable of

lol I guess, it doesn’t annoy you with endless ads and pop ups, doesn’t try to steal your data and passwords, doesn’t force you to buy an entire new computer just to run it. Far behind indeed.

Well - parent didn’t say “the thing that makes it less useful _for me_ is lack of a backlight”, but a categorical “it’s less useful for everyone due to lack of a backlight”.

Dunno man, I did just fine with my 48 and I do just fine with the crappy lcd scientific calculator I have now, but it’s basic and doesn’t hold a candle to the 48.

Did do a fair bit of programming in the 48 too :) fun shit.

Still looking for the perfect replacement for my HP48GX which died a mysterious death. Actual 48GX are hideously expensive and I’d be concerned they could also just mysteriously kick the bucket.

Dunno man, it’s miles better than discord which bombards me with ads every single time I log in.

Range anxiety is probably the only reason one would choose a PHEV these days. They’re slightly cheaper also but that’s unlikely to be a factor.

> If you ask me, nothing can save downtown Ottawa or North American public transit.

Come to Montreal. Only 2H away and you can get by decently well without a car.

Some banks make chargebacks so easy that people just click the chargeback button without trying to reach out to the vendor. I see this a lot - I work for a “vendor”.

I’ve seen minors signing up for cloud services with their parents card.

I routinely see “please refund this infrastructure bill I racked up unexpectedly, I used my dad’s card and he’s going to kill me” requests.

My first thought was “yay a stillsuit” - but this grabs moisture from the air, not the wearer’s body. So no. No stillsuit yet.

*couldn’t care less

Why tho?

Nice! Link?

Sure but that’s not how they’re selling it.

I’m actually old enough to remember how PGP code was exported as a book printout because exporting computer code for cryptography with strong keys in digital form was disallowed but a book was fine (protected by first amendment rights). The printout was scanned abroad to reconstitute the source and build pgp legally.

This has been tried in Mexico at least twice - crooks are still finding ways to have burners and smuggle anonymous phones into jails etc.

74k tickets across all 86 matches? That’s less than 1k tickets per match. Azteca Stadium in Mexico has 87k capacity - 1k unsold tickets is nothing.
