I watch his videos from time to time, he stays quite up to date when it comes to the underpinnings of modern software engineering. Mind you, just because he retired doesn’t mean he stopped tinkering and building. By all accounts he is still poking around in a number of projects and contributes his fair share of expertise. I’m not a fan of him not outright calling out Microsoft for their bullshit, but I do respect the sheer amount of expertise he brings to the table. Calling him out of date, particularly with the level of understanding needed to make something like a task manager, doesn’t seem fair.

Hmm, I think as a DM I would roll an arcana check to see if the wizard would conceivably have heard of radiation from arcane studies. It’s reasonable to assume people with arcane knowledge would be the first to hear about the strange metal chunks that everyone keeps dying around. One of them would have had to have come up with a word, if not some variation on “death cursed”

He is suing for material damages, and honestly it’s not a bad case. He allegedly paid meta a bunch of money for advertising space right before they pulled his account, so the money he paid plus potential lost business.

Dude is a lawyer, I fully expect him to have a good case and on the surface it’s a slam dunk.

Look up a Faraday cage, much easier to block the signals than it is to jam them.

Incredibly, and not at all subtle. It’s also of fairly limited effectiveness in most scenarios, wireless signals are generally a lot more complex than what a simple jammer will cover. On top of the difficulty in transmitting a reasonably large amount of radio power in any useful frequency, you have to also jam side frequencies to avoid fail over and certain noise mitigation techniques.

Honestly it’s not even just that it’s massively illegal, it’s just so wildly impractical. Like, what would you accomplish? Radio waves fall off pretty quickly in strength, so your jammer is going to have a limited range, and if it doesn’t you just knock out flight communications and emergency response while cellular hops to one of the other hundreds of frequencies and like 10 modulation protocols until something works, and it’s going to be insanely difficult to jam all of those at once.

Just jamming 700mhz would involve an antenna array that would be bigger than a person and using the old “moar power” approach sees wattage requirements shoot into megawatt ranges pretty quick.

Again, the issue is the scar tissue. Even if it didn’t develop into a cancer it will give you nasty COPD, gas exchange doesn’t happen with scarred lung tissue. Look at silicosis, potters lung, popcorn lung, and the plethora of other occupational diseases that are caused by particulate matter damaging lung tissue for examples of what asbestos would do without the cancer

We need a drive that’s at least… Three times this size!

Because this city was built on the foundations of Our Thing.

Reddragon, and just pull parts from goodwill mice, they send you extra Teflon pads with the mouse so you can open it and keep the pads nice. Switches are just switches, they are standard sizes, and the cords usually use standard plugs, worst case you swap some pins around to match. Insanely easy to take apart, and cheap enough to not worry about breaking.

They are cheap as hell, but they have good tracking sensors and are really comfortable to use.

Second best. The best is actually the reddragon one that’s $20 on Amazon.

I have used every mmo mouse on the market (currently on a scimitar elite, it’s the one op has but silver not yellow) and they are all decent mice, but each has a fatal flaw except the reddragon.

G600 click switches are awful and double click after weeks of use, I had to replace them twice, the final time with the switches out of the red dragon. That was fine for close to 10 years, but the side key caps fall off, they are barely glued on.

The scimitar has an awful encoder on the scroll wheel, I had to open the mouse to pack it with Vaseline to get it working properly, and disassembling the scimitar is a nightmare.

The reddragon has bad software, but it’s also supported by open source options for remapping and RGB, so it’s one flaw was by far the easiest to fix.

The g600 was the most comfortable to palm, but the side keys are in an awkward spot to palm the mouse, the scimitar is nice for the adjustable keypad, but it moves with time and tightening it too much will break the mouse. The red dragon has an odd texture on the far side, very rough, but otherwise the best for a claw grip.

That and they turned off bot detection in osrs. Dude headed gambling corporations, I don’t trust him.

That’s why they said revenue, not profit. You never go for the net. Always go for the gross.

Damn, RuneScape uses under 5GB with uncompressed textures. It’s a full-on MMO. I think old-school fits in under a gig.

The burden of proof that the sensors cannot provide false positives falls on the hotel chain, not the person getting charged. There is also the question of whether the sensors can be triggered by someone else, or an adjacent room.

You fight them by filing a lawsuit for fraudulently charging you.

It is insanely disingenuous to think that manufacturing capabilities that could cheaply mass produce waterproof cameras and consumer electronics for 30+ years couldn’t handle miniaturization.

On that note, I never once had water ingress issues with my S5 in a few years of ownership, and I would shower and swim with it. Just had to make sure the back was all the way on for the gasket to seal (the phone would detect it and warn you)

I don’t know why people keep parroting that crap. PHONES CAN HAVE REPLACEABLE BATTERIES AND STILL BE FULLY WATERPROOF.

I had a galaxy S5, it had an SD card slot, replaceable battery, headphone jack… AND WATERPROOF.

It was also thinner than my current OnePlus with the camera bump.

You are going to be looking at some variant of oculink, you can get riser cards that convert a PCI-e or M.2 socket into an oculink port if you don’t have one available stock. Still though, if you are building it yourself why even bother? You are going to add a significant cost to the build for marginal or no benefit over buying a mini PC with an oculink port and a known compatible dock. EGPU options are not plug and play, they rarely just work and need significant tinkering and workarounds and will come with noticeable drawbacks in the best case scenario.
