This. I built my desktop PC 11 years ago and it still does everything I need. And I have a 5 year old Android phone that's still just fine for watching YouTube in the bathroom.

Libraries. Why write code when you can just import an enormous library that already does that one simple thing you need.

There are already limits. One of the problems is that you can buy a legal e-bike that is limited to the specifications, but it's actually capable of a lot more performance, and it just takes a firmware update to unlock the potential. I have no idea how they can enforce this law if they pass it.

I drove by my local mall recently (in the U.S.) and the electronic sign at the entrance was in Spanish. It didn't alternate between English and Spanish, it was only Spanish.

They've been limiting requests for premium models to 300/month for quite a while now, and gradually removing the free models. The only free model left now is GPT-5 mini, which is nearly useless. I've moved on to Cursor AI. It is vastly superior to Github Copilot.

Expect AI to get a lot more expensive as people and companies become dependent on it. This is by design.

Leave the phone somewhere that supports your alibi.

Buy the anti-drone drones from Ukraine. They already know how to make them, and could use with the money.

It's almost like the U.S. military completely ignored that Russia gets all its drones from Iran, and now we're shooting down $20k drones with $3 million missiles.

I preferred Netflix from the DVD in the mail days.

They had EVERYTHING. I kept a constant flow of discs in the mail and copied all of them, building up a large library of DVDs. I recently cancelled my account because I couldn't remember the last time I searched for something I wanted to watch and they actually had it.

Streaming in the last few years has become awful. To watch one movie, you need an account with one company. To watch another, you need an account with a different company. I've cancelled all of them. What does have everything now is Youtube, and I just pay the $4 to rent a movie and watch it once.

Yikes. I'm glad that didn't happen in my country.

I got a little covid card when I got my shots, which promptly went in the trash.

Skimmed a couple of those.

Lots of "can contain", "may harm".

The fact is, nobody specifically knows that vaping is bad for you. Will that still be the case in a few decades? Nobody knows.

Anybody who smokes tobacco should switch to vaping immediately.

Both of my parents died from cigarettes. Smoking will 100% kill you, and it's an awful way to die.

Citation?

Other than the EVALI thing from back alley THC vapes, I've never heard of a single person being harmed by vaping.

480,000 people in the US die from cigarettes every year. As far as I know, it's zero for vaping.

But you can never be sure when the movie actually starts.

The stated time should be when the movie actually begins. If I feel like watching previews and ads, I'll arrive early.

The printer can require the gcode to be signed by a government service that does the verification. The slicer will have to upload the shape file to the service to get it approved and signed. Possessing firmware that bypasses this will be a criminal offense.

I would imagine they already are.
