No. Or at least, I’d have it done the way Daft Punk/Yoko Taro do. You’re only known as the character in costume, and not elsewise.

Otherwise, every single aspect of your life gets pried into, and you can’t trust anything to be what it seems to be. Anything you say, or opinion you hold would be a headline, and anyone who claims to want to be your friend could easily be angling for your wealth/connections more than anything else.

Do they even make enough heat for that to be viable option? Most computer systems can handle a pretty low temperature before they start having problems because they’re over-heating.

Stainless steel is the superior option, anyway smh

I don’t know, it has the opposite effect, IMO.

It just makes them seem obnoxious, since the example they chose was a parent who was distracted with the computer open in the changing room while they were supposed to be helping their children with their skates, and literally mentions how the other parents have to navigate around the thing.

You’d be more inclined to think that they’re a computer addict who can’t put the the thing down for even a moment.

On top of that, the video is basically a recipe to drop the laptop and have it shatter into fine powder, if you’re holding it by the corner like that.

A fantastic amount of talking. The militaries would want to be in readiness, for example, just in case the extraterrestrials are not friendly, and the diplomatic corps would be doing their best to figure out how to communicate with them.

A lot of religions might also be thrown a bit into the air by the arrival of aliens, so there would be some chatter there, too.

Are aliens subject to human rights? Are they beings also made in God’s image, etc.

They’re used for some trains now, though I think that a lot of them have since switched to rheostat or regenerative braking instead.

Slightly odd choice to use a motor instead of an eddy current brake or some such, when it’s supposed to be a drop-in replacement for existing braking systems.

Is it supposed to be a quick hybrid conversion system rather than just a brake?

EDIT: I’m not sure if it is. The article makes it unclear, but going by the manufacturer’s site, the electric motors are meant to replace the piston on the caliper, rather than using the motor itself as a brake.

It’s still a mostly conventional braking system.

We had a rather nice thing going with pure HTML. Sure, it wasn’t the prettiest thing, even with CSS, but almost every device could run and display it in its own way.

You didn’t need a custom thing, or a bunch of extra code adjusting the webpage for each type of device that opened the web page, since that job was all done by the browser.

That’s basically model routing, and has existed a while. Open AI’s GPT-5 and llama-swap do that, for example. If the task is simple, it uses a smaller, less intensive model, and only uses the slower, larger one of the task is more complex.

Though most tend to operate with models on the same device/service, rather than a model run elsewhere.

Back in my day, computer was a job, and all you had was an abacus. We liked it that way. None of this newfangled al-gebra nonsense.

It’s also cheaper, if they can offload a portion to the user’s computer.

So what happens if the artist is dead?

Freddie Mercury would find it difficult to maintain an active social nedia presence to prove he’s human, being rather indisposed at the present.

It’d be a different sort of exercise, but it would be interesting as a means of learning how to control a forklift.

Who doesn’t like their phone charging them by the word?

To be fair, using react for it was just an odd decision to begin with.

Is this anything new at all?

Even back in the day, you had people wanting to live in the recent past, because the past usually gets romanticised.

So people in the 1960s might have a rosy view of the turn of the century, and want to go back to the 1930 days of art deco and balls, or those today, that might want to return what they believe to be glory days of 1960. Even if it isn’t actually realistic to how you might live in the past. The average citizen in 1930 was not attending balls at a swanky music lounge.

Give it a few decades, we might also have people from 2050 pining for the 2020s, believing it to be just like the advertisements, where we all live in the penthouse level of skyscrapers, overlooking a vast cityscape.

Tap water? If so, try filtered water, get a good, credible filter and filter the water. Depending on where you live there’s a fair amount of materials in the water that make it unpleasant.

In a pinch, boiling it, and letting it cool back down also helps some, if they can’t afford a filter.

To be fair, that is a similar problem, just with a q instead of a k.

You’d need to know the name of the calculator to access it, if you don’t have a dedicated button to load it, or a menu to find it in.

If it’s your first time on linux, you might well think it doesn’t have a calculator at all.

That instance needs a login to show the post.
