You can go down the pedantry route if you want, but this is a story about mcbook neo. And you can certainly run something like a switch 2 version of CP2077 if that ever gets released in the massively cut down version.

Do you know what is one of the big features of those cut down versions? Super compressed low res textures. Guess what takes much if not most of storage space in most modern AAA games?

Years ago I upgraded the storage on my old MSI laptop. I made a video of it:

It worked great for years after that. Very different situation from more recently when I tried to fix my Dell, gave up and replaced it with a Framework:

The intelligence agencies are so strong that they can tell everyone how evil they are intentionally and nothing happens. Jeffrey Epstein is a perfect example. Snowden is another. The outrage people feel at domestic spying and even kiddy diddlers isn't enough for anyone to really do anything so long as they get three meals a day and all the entertainment they can stream into their eyeballs.

War is about actual conspiracies that are carried out. That's literally all it is. The term "conspiracy theorist" was intentionally used as a demonization by the CIA in the 1960s to prevent people from questioning anything the government puts out.

I'm talking about THE FIRST F-15 that was originally shot down. Why send in a real human when we've been using drones effectively all this time. That's the real question no on is answering.

And as far as Conspiracy Realities that have been verified as true: Operation Paperclip, Operation Ajax (relevant to Iran today), Operation Mockingbird, COINTELPRO, MK Ultra (where the US psychologically tortured Americans and Canadians), the Tuskegee Experiments ... all real. Oh but 9/11 is exactly like they said! Don't trust the "conspiracy theorist" even when it's been proven the OSS/CIA has done such things over and over and over again. But no, this time you're a stupid conspiracy theorist for suggesting it.

I HATE HATE HATE top tabs! I don't understand why editors still insist on them. Eclipse and IntelliJ have vertical tabs. Hell, even Visual Studio has vertical tabs (although they looked like shit until VS2026). It's one of the reason I cannot stand VSCode, Zed and Sublime. The first two have had open issues for vertical tabs for years with very little to no progress. Tabs belong on the side. It's easy to see and sort all of them there. Putting them on top just gets cluttered and shitty. Fuck horizontal tabs.

Firefox could implement vertical tabs LOOOOOONG before 2025 using the TreeStyleTabs extension.

Vivaldi is a Chrome based browser that's also had vertical tabs for years.

Google Chrome itself literally has zero support in the plugin system to even begin implementing something like this without forking the whole project, and they've actually made their extension system worse to try to kill ad blockers.

Fuck Chrome ... and Mozilla. Use Librewolf (privacy fork of Firefox) until Ladybird gets good enough to crush them all.

I just run a Linux distro and setup iptables rules directly. I've been doing that since the very early 2000s.

I did the SBC router thing for a while too:

and now I use Void Linux which I installed on this industrial appliance

The vast majority of people out there aren't going to know how to do that, or even care about learning it. I remember the first time I set up masquerading (NAT) and just how difficult it was, and now it's really easy and makes total sense. I have to remind myself that this stuff really isn't that easy.

I agree, same with the "Dirty Bomb." In Adam Curtis's documentary The Power of Nightmare, he claims a "dirty bomb," isn't even really feasible; that if you just detonated a bunch of fissile material, it would pretty quickly dissipate without really poisoning anyone unless they stood on the detonation spot for a few days.

It's honestly pretty interesting that we've gone from units of computational performance to units of electricity in measuring AI compute.

Essentially, this tells us that bottleneck has moved from silicon's computational performance to being able to provide said silicon with enough power to perform said computational tasks.

Generational titles are always meant to be derogatory and never to uplift. You never year, "those amazing boomers." You also don't attack my argument, you ad hominem attack me (via my generation, UID or whatever) without addressing the argument. You seem to be a simpleton yourself as you can't argue and make silly reductionist statements without offering any real insight of value.
