I'd seriously worry about not having immunity to whatever diseases exist in that world, and the people of that new world not having immunity to whatever I might be carrying from my world.

Probably try and figure what the skills of the other survivors on the train to assemble a team with the goal of survival and information gathering.

While an aggressive attitude won't change the mind of bigots, a polite and respectful response to someone who advocates for forcing kids to go through the wrong puberty is going to be especially difficult for people with personal trauma for it, and it's unreasonable to expect it of them.

I think it's a reasonable reaction to throw polite discourse out when people use "moderate" as a cover for their bigotry. This is like when "moderate" person said that segregation of black people was reasonable when people were fighting for their civil rights, and that since the moderates weren't pro-slavery so they were the good guys. No, you're not the good guys, you're just not as bad as the super evil guys. Congrats.

Now I won't tell you to "fuck off and die", but I will tell you to fuck off. If you were someone I personally knew, I would have put in the effort to be polite and try to educate you or whatever, but since we don't know each other it's unlikely to land.

I say it as someone who used to think like you.

That was a nod to Great Moments in Unintended Consequences. (Example)

For me it's branding something as "AI" as a buzzword. Almost all product marketing is full of AI hype these days.

The Year: 2092

The Problem: Timezones are annoying

The Solution: Space mirrors! A series of mirrors in space would rotate to keep the entire planet under a single time zone. A perfect global time system is born!

Sounds like a great idea! With the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?

You can run DOOM on E.Coli bacteria, so I'm sure you can run it on anything.

Any front engine rear drive car going in reverse, lol.

I like being able to rotate 90° one of my screen because sometimes it's just the best way to work.

PL setups are the best.

I absolutely despise it when people say "should have known better" when companies mess up. Not everyone is going to spend weeks researching obscure information before buying a phone.

The smartphone market has matured, so there is less of a difference between each generation. Earlier on there was a massive difference in performance:

The OG Galaxy S had 512MB of RAM, 8GB storage, and a single Arm A8 core at 1GHz, and the SII had 1GB of RAM, 16GB/32GB storage, and a dual core A9 at 1.2GHz. This is a single generation with double the RAM and more than double CPU power, and nearly 6x the GPU power (theoretically), and 2-4 times the storage.

Then the SIII came out with a quad core SoC 1.4GHz, a much larger screen with higher resolution (jumping from 480p to 720p), significantly bigger battery, and up to 64GB of storage.

The S4 doubled the RAM to 2GB, faster storage, significantly faster and more efficient SoC, a larger, 1080p display paired with a much more powerful GPU, and a significantly larger battery as well.

Back then, if you had the money, there was a considerable difference between each generation and there was a reason to upgrade, many not every year, but if you could afford it, upgrading every other year made sense.

After that, changes were much more calm. Sure, some phone makers made exciting and innovative stuff, but the hardware didn't have a massive difference from one generation to another, and also prices were rising.

Nowadays, phones are far less exciting, but flagship phones are ludicrously expensive, and yet they sell incredibly well. While phones are being improved from one generation to the next, they feel like small steps rather than a giant leap. Our demand for power hasn't gone up quite as fast as our phones themselves. People will keep buying phones less frequently, just like we do for laptops.

I only used it to follow some artists I like, that's it.

 
 

I accidentally got some thermal paste on the CPU pins and on the socket when I removed the cooler and it pulled the CPU with it (this only happens with PGA sockets, never with LGA sockets), I spent hours trying to clean it with alcohol and a soft brush, but it didn't work so well.

I got a contact cleaning spray and it cleaned it in seconds.

 

I wasn't expecting it to work, but I didn't uninstall the app just in case Reddit backtracks or something. I checked and my front-page loads like normal. Does that mean that Reddit gave up? I didn't pay infinity at all...
