I used to use mine for games but I don’t really play games any more. So for the last year or two my PC has been mostly dedicated to CAD, PCB design, coding, et cetera.

Rich, white, straight, christian male. Given recent events, that second-to-last part is especially important :/

That’s incredible

“Traveling, not driving” …that’s not how cars work

Is the camera man an NPC? I’m not gonna just stand two feet away as soon as hundreds of tons of steel starts shifting weight…

As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.

Fun fact: you can’t lock your credit through Innovis if the name on your phone number isn’t the same as your real name (for instance, I’m on my mother’s phone plan - I still have my own number, but I guess it’s under her name). I ran into this issue literally four days ago :/

Thank you! That makes much more sense.

ELI5…?

Exactly. And what’s worth remembering is that solar cars tend to be something like 2X longer then normal cars, and cover the entire surface except for windshield with panels. No rear windshield, either.

Doesn’t provide enough power for the cost of the cells, plus having to clean and upkeep them. And the more material you cover them with (to protect them; solar cells are INCREDIBLY fragile), the less efficient they are. I was on a solar car team in college and the cells are so fragile that to clean them, we had to use new microfiber cloths every time. Any dust would scratch and ruin them (which made it quite tough when I drove across the outback in the thing). We kept our cells completely uncovered because we needed maximum efficiency - but even with a super light carbon fiber solar car that’s got very minimal tire contact patches, specialized tires from Bridgestone, and a very aerodynamic shape (plus no amenities like A/C), I think our car could sustain something like 10-15 km/h on a perfectly sunny day in the middle of the outback. It just doesn’t add enough on a huge, heavy EV

Tenth person to say it… but thank you :)

Damn, you can just not pay taxes? Can’t believe I never thought of that one simple trick. Me, and most of the other 8 billion people on this earth…

Shitty k8s cluster/space heater?

“Picture it, Sicily, 1912…” “Now erase that completely from your mind, and picture Gary, Indiana, 2023. You’re right, that’s me.”

Username checks out?

Omg snap circuits were the BEST. Helped me learn so much as a kid

Tim we have to cook

Love that color!
