Aw shit, why didn’t I think of this! I too had a PSP with CFW in HS, but I just used it for… totally “backed up”…games lmao

Organized Religion is just cancer at this point

c/TIHI

Y u no website! Lol

This is the perfect answer OP, a rich person would most likely never want to see a place like this in person, they’d “send someone”

I don’t think a rich person who “won’t flinch at spending 1.1 million euros” would actually ask those questions, they’d just spend whatever they need on it lol

Like a 60k repair to them would be like 50$ to you or me

20 domains and counting (just got another one yesterday lmao)

Pfft, amateur, he should have had the $50k Power Up Scene Sequence Time Freezerer 5000

TFW ChatGPT makes a better president than you and it can’t even reason and think

I didn’t even need to watch a single minute of the debate to know it’s going horribly for Drump, all the Trumpys on xitter are absolutely seething about it lmao

Lol never said it was useless, only the value doesn’t outweigh the sacrifices. Gimmicks can have some usefulness and utility and still be gimmicks.

The gimmicky part is that smartphone companies got you hooked into a product that barely fills just enough peoples value thresholds that they could avoid developing real wireless charging.

In a world where this fake shit didn’t take hold we could have had real wireless charging by now, if you think the “wireless” charging is good now, just think what true wireless would be like. You could walk into a room and your phone just starts charging with 0 effort. None.

But all the major companies stopped their R&D on it because consumers like you lapped the gimmick up and continue to. All that’s left are a handful of startups working on it, so it’s going to be years still.

True wireless charging would definitely, the kind where your phone being in the mere vicinity of the “base station” allows it to start charging. From an actual distance larger than a handful of centimeters. That would be a feature worthy of the sacrifice of a metal body and being stuck with glass

The “Wireless” charging marketing gimmick is just as bad as the “Hoverboard” gimmick vs a real Hoverboard a la Back to the Future.

Its basically just a plug shifted from a socket to the back of the phone, but worse. It’s almost always slower and saves a second or 2 at most from having to plug/unplug it. Some minor pros, but not worth having to be saddled with annoying and fragile glass backs. You still need to take it out of your pocket, place it in a designated spot, and can’t use it all that well while in the designated spot and still have it charge.

It’s a gimmick so companies could say their phones totally have wireless charging so they didn’t have to spend the R&D money to develop actual wireless charging and you bought into it hook, line and sinker.

There were some promising developments on real wireless charging, but ever since the fake gimmick caught hold it’s been awfully quiet. Another victim of marketing I suppose.

The problem isn’t the tooling, ofc you can do it with a block of metal and a lathe and mill, but you may or may not have the skillset to be successful

In contrast a 3D printer is cheap, easy to obtain, and can be operated as simply as download file > send to 3d printer

While we’re at it, let’s get back to all metal phones! Screw this glass back shit.

For the “Wireless” charging people:

It’s a gimmick, nothing of value is lost

You can swap out centralized energy sources (relatively speaking) overnight as greener sources become cheaper/more available compared to retooling whole industries away from plastic

It’s the same thing with electric cars, yea it might plug in now to a dirty energy source, but that energy source could be a green energy source tomorrow without you ever knowing and importantly not having to buy a new car or change any other infrastructure to take advantage of it

A power line is a power line, it doesn’t care if the electricity going through it was derived from a dirty power plant or solar or nuclear

What good is a stainless SD card

Better thermal conductivity and in turn dissipation than plastic does tend to longer lasting flash chips, how much this change means in real world practice though remains to be seen

Heat is a flash storage killer of all kinds

This right here, there’s not a whole lot on a PCB that can “explode” on their own, and caps is at the top of that short list. And early 2000s, 90s caps are notorious for this issue

Next ECU you get @Badabinski@kbin.social, check the caps or just replace them anyways. Even high quality ones are not very expensive

How long ago was this?

Many years ago, HP was actually pretty good even on their budget lines of the time. Then those got shitty to keep costs low, and it just creeped up from there until shitty cost cutting was evident throughout all their other lines up through premium business class laptops

Also, HP’s bullshit on other areas like Printing is what earned them the top spot

Dell suffers the same enshittification on their laptop lines that HP did, just a bit behind. I cannot tell you how many batteries turned into spicy pillows in just MONTHS after being opened even on their supposed premium business laptops

Lenovo used to be shit, but I’ve noticed they’ve stepped their game up the last few years while OTOH Asus is the opposite being good at first but now starting to show signs of enshittification.

Basically, brand loyalty is BS any brand can turn to shit at any time and any brand can go to being a diamond again (Except HP, they’ve become irredeemable in my eyes) and those business contracts to get bulk discounts serve no purpose other than to lock in IT departments to that specific brand instead of being able to be flexible when the times change

Depends, for companies on a Pro plan or below they have to request it and slack will only approve said request if required to by law or other legal requirement (or consent of user in question)

Above that plan, only Workspace Owner admins specifically can access it. A workspace owner is the one who originally signed up for the plan and users directly designated to be a Workspace Owner from the original one.

Frankly, if it’s something that can get you in trouble DON’T use a work thing for it whatsoever! Be it slack, your work computer or work email.

If you want to talk about such things with a coworker, ask for their damn phone number or find them on SM, seriously, keep it off work stuff. There’s always a way to access even supposedly private stuff if done on a work device or service.

Ah, continuing with the ugly AF design language I see. Guess I’m skipping the entire PS5 gen then. See you guys for the PS6!
