Netbird does some things better than Tailscale. But honestly tailscale is just so much better. It takes a much more “it just works” approach which for our office we much prefer. It was so much more fiddly and just awful.

Netbird also kept pissing me off because we’d have a route to the office, and if you’re in the office it would just kill all network traffic as it tries to go to itself instead of the default gateway and just never works. Tailscale kinda has the same issue, but it doesn’t end up in an endless loop it just routes all your traffic in the office through the VPN.

You wouldn’t happen to be from Ohio?

so I guess it’s not a conspiracy.

It’s not a theory* it is a conspiracy.

There’s only one windows desktop enviroment, window manager, etc. Same for Mac OS.

With Linux damn near everything can change depending on your distro of choice. There’s no one “linux” that you install. Linux is just the kernal and everything is piled on top of to make the entire OS.

What’s the point in buying good sunglasses, and why would I lose a pair?

You like your vision.

You take them most places with you so you have a much higher chance of losing them.

Like most things, the media likes to overhype things and create a moral panic so they can get their views.

A lot of things have changed in 40 years, I wouldn’t rely solely on those books.

Ex: the approach to airflow/insulation. Previously we tried to make our houses as sealed up as possible for energy savings. Well we kinda learned that fresh air is actually needed so build 90% of the house as leak proof as possible, then the last 10% is designed to let in fresh air while trying to maintain the hot/cold air temperature.

Depending on what you’re doing 20+ hours is already doable pretty easily on an M1 MacBook. I’m a pretty intensive internet user and I still get 10-15 hours.

Ok, stare HR down while you’re doing it.

Smack em on the ass and say “you’re looking good today my dude.”

Guy at work always starts saying sexist shit when no other women are around

I misread that as sexiest shit at first and was super confused. “Damn they must be working with some gay ass motherfuckers.”

Phones have had optical image stabilization since like 2013. It helped a lot. But things have changed a lot since then.

Digital image stabilization will always be ass and is only really useful for video.

For some reason my local thrift store had a few katanas and random other weeb tier weaponry at it.

Naturally my friend bought one.

I don’t live in Costa Rica, but I have family there and they have combined. They complain that the private healthcare systems lobby to underfund the public heathcare system in order to turn people away from public healthcare, and off to their services where they make more money.

So combined systems cannot exist, if you want public healthcare then it should quickly phase our private.

I find cmd c so much easier that ctrl c. I can hit it with just my thumb. cmd V is basically the same as ctrl C/V

I’ve been trying to find a cheap N100 laptop to test, but I’ve tried some of their previous “economy core” powered machines and they neither get performance nor battery life. Race to idle is legitimately a good thing, but those machines are just too under powered to ever get to idle so they never get good battery life.

Under a load they get good battery life, but trying to use the computer as a computer they suck. One of these machines takes like 30 minutes for windows update to do a basic update. And the entire time the machine is unusably slow because of it. I installed linux on there and not having windows update ruining things made it tolerable, but still pretty bad for what on paper should have been enough.

having the task completed faster saves more energy than the long run.

That’s assuming the task is a brief short load that actually ends. Race to idle when done right is more power efficient, but Intel isn’t doing it right at the moment. Their lower end chips at the same tier can end up getting much better battery life than the higher end ones sheerly because they’ve capped their clock speeds to something reasonable. AMD does it well with zen 2 and zen 3, but zen 4 is starting to push performance over efficiency too trying to keep up. Every Intel laptop I’ve used in the last 5 years has gotten horrendous battery life. Doing the same task on an AMD machine gets me more or less the battery life I’d expect, and my M1 Macbook gets even better battery life than that (even running through emulation). There is 0 reason why my laptop from 2014 should get better battery life than my 2021 laptop doing the exact same task. The issue is Intel can’t keep their clock speeds in their pants, and battery life suffers because of it.

All CPUs are binned. Mobile CPUs are binned for their low leakage current which is desirable for a laptop where battery life matters, and low leakage current means low idle power consumption.

I wish they’d start competing on power efficiency and performance per watt. Intel wouldn’t have had this issue if they’d make a CPU that runs at reasonable power consumption, and laptops suffer because of it.

You’d also probably lose a whole lot more processing power trying to stop the crawlers vs just letting them have API access with some sort of limit to queries.
