Software which displays pixels and outputs sound when given data from a game cart, coincidentally.

It’s hard to figure out what he’s talking about , when he says the “whole social security database”. Like in which tables are they duplicated? Does it mean the entire row is duplicated or just the SSN, it might make sense to be duplicated depending on the schema. Is it an append only db, so there might be updated columns on the same ssn and you need to filter by the latest update timestamp? Who knows.

But also, saying that there’s a “social security database” and then following that up by the govt “doesn’t use SQL” so… the db is actually just a spreadsheet? A .txt file? The SSNs are just written down in someone’s notebook? Lol

Well many of China’s websites don’t even use HTTPS. Look at china.org.cn, or en.people.cn for example

Ya but wouldn’t I need to open up ports or host a VPN ? Otherwise my phone won’t backup unless I’m at home

I’ve been using one drive for my phone photos backup, joplin notes store and keepass. It seemed like the most economical solution cus other vendors don’t really offer 1TB, it’s usually something stupid like jumping from 200GB or 2TB. Don’t know if I should invest in a NAS or something, but I just don’t wanna deal with the hardware and networking if I have to open some ports at home , unless I can use cloudflare as well

That’s kinda strange, I was taught in school that tomato was a fruit so that’s what I always went with. As to why, I honestly have no idea and wouldn’t be able to argue

Lol, well obviously it would be cheaper to host an LLM that is smaller. Imagine the cost of hosting o1

These things are unreliable, I had 3 seagate HDDs in a row fail on me. Never had an issue with SSDs and never looked back.

Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t just use SDL3 to make their own engine.

Nice, I was looking for something like this a few years ago on another project, at the time I settled for DBeaver, but this looks like it might be better fit for the job.

Your second point of trading loot and items got me thinking about my Steam CS:GO skins. Why should I trust a centralized entity like Steam who could at any moment decide to delete all my skins or remove my account for whatever reason with my skins, vs storing those skins in a wallet on a public blockchain for example to keep it’s value and always allow trading? Ofc there will always be a “centralized” smart contract but at least they can’t make changes to it if the smart contract code is audited ,

Will it store my ROMs

I would like to try #2 but for some reason my 5900x doesn’t have graphics so I literally need to buy a whole other GPU for this

Kinda cool but shit $45 for a piece of silicone those margins are insane.

The physical keyboard is just a tool. There are alternatives like speech-to-text software, virtual keyboards with swipe features, or stenotype.

The goal should be to use whatever is most effective and efficient for yourself, so if Gen Zrs are more used to touch screen, maybe they should invent a touch screen interface that you can use with the computer, maybe even incorporating the mouse somehow.

For me personally the touch interfaces right now are fucked up - I always tap the wrong letters on my phone, the auto-correct and suggestions used to compensate for this often times make it even worse, and swipe doesn’t come up with the words I want, I often have to swipe multiple times. I can’t imagine operating a computer like this, but maybe for Gen Zrs it’s no problem.

Maybe in the future you just need to think the word and it appears on the screen, and typing would be obsolete.

Of course their biggest scandal was rushing content and not being diligent with their benchmarks. I honestly never had the impression that they were really the professionals or experts they present themselves to be.

That being said, I think if you view their videos more as entertainment and an entry level content into the IT world for people who otherwise wouldn’t be interested, their content is acceptable.

I wouldn’t watch their videos expecting to learn anything or trusting their expertise/benchmarks, but just for the vibes. Luckily we have real experts like tech jesus to keep them in check. I also think people who actually seek to learn something will eventually figure out LTT ain’t it.
