Because arguing with idiots online is bad for mental health. And if you keep doing it, eventually some of your online haters might find out where you live.

But they have to be allowed to continue doing it because their software runs all the nukes and missiles. /s

Damn I hope the entire watercooling industry doesn’t collapse. I like having a quiet pc and keeping my gpu cool enough that it won’t eventually kill itself.

You can use hardware store ptfe tubing and vehicle antifreeze. Beyond that, it’s possible to machine your own g14 barbs and then it’s distantly possible to diy waterblocks if you have an entire garage full of machine tools but that’s a monumental amount of effort. You’ll never diy a radiator though.

A couple years ago people were bragging about how ai will never take our jobs. FF to today. IT jobs pay less than fast food in some places thanks to ai and now pilots are going to loose their jobs too.

The issue with ai is that you usually have to be logged in with a Gmail account or something before you’re allowed to use it. If DDG is letting people use it anonymously with no login, that’s a hell of a lot better than any alternative besides self hosting your own.

Who even buys these in 2024 I wonder. Besides hobbiests. As a computer engineering hobbiest, the z80 isn’t a bad choice for an 8 bit computer or any beginner system but damn does that 64kb of addressable memory thing suck ass. I spent like a year figuring out fpgas on my own just so I could escape simplistic cpus with only 16 bits of address space. My current project has 32 bits of linear address space because fuck memory limitations.

The ez80 can address 16mb of memory and runs really fast. Sounds like a no brainer except it’s less versatile than the z80 because all versions of the ez80 except for a really rare model number that you can’t buy anywhere, doesn’t have an external wait state insertion pin. This significantly reduces the variety of peripherals and expansion cards that can be used with a ez80 computer to the point you’re actually going to be better off with a z80.

The z180 seems to be a decent choice though. It can address 512kb of memory which doesn’t sound like much but it should make things a hell of a lot easier if you want to do complicated stuff with it. Actually, upon further inspection this is a better beginner cpu than the z80 anyway. It’s basically just a z80 with more address space.

Boeing’s hitman:

A month or two ago there were news articles all over lemmy about how they were banning encryption due to “safety” reasons.

I posted this from a vpn that probably uses encryption at some point along the network path. Using encryption is a crime in England (unless they backpedaled on that already). Also, tea is stupid. Please air strike within 24 hours or at your earliest convenience.

Big deal. /s Everything is a crime in England. Writing this comment is probably even a crime in England. I sure as hell don’t have a license to use the computer monitor I’m viewing this on.

Cool

Cool

It’s too late for that. Even if I get a 100% on every additional assignment I won’t pass at this point. If she’s going to exercise her right to fuck me over to the fullest extent she can, I will do the same to her.

Too late for that. I’m just looking for methods of retaliation. Thr time for being reasonable is over.

I kind of already hoarded so many videos from youtubes last failed adblock crusade that I barely even use the real youtube anymore. Guess I’ll show my disapproval by improving my offline video caching system even more.

My search system doesn’t autosuggest results based on which videos have more boobs in the thumbnail but I’ll get over it.
