I’m sure people in the middle ages where adapted to most of the situations. For example If you don’t wash for a few days or sit near a fire mosquitoes are less of a problem. Most towns, inns or taverns where less than 1 days march from the next in medieval Europe, so you would not have to sleep in the woods. There where also seasonal workers who would not live in one place, but move depending on the season to help sow or harvest fields, or work at different cities in their trade to learn new skills from different masters to see different countries.

In the past, people assumed computers would get much easier to use. But instead you now need a comp sci degree to turn off all the BS Microsoft intentionally added to make your PC experience worse.

Which PC had a 2mb hard drive? Smallest 286 PCs I can remember already had 20MB, and a floppy disk would hold 720kb or 1.44MB.

Look how much a Chromebook costs. Amazon can afford to sell them at a loss now, if they can charge you $20/month later or so, stuff ads into everything or bundle it with other Amazon services to make it appear like a good deal. The question is not “how much can we make on this hardware”, but "how much can we get from the customer over 5 years.

They will sell it like streaming services or printers and ink. The first Amazon PC is free, then the subscription price and amount of ads go up. Eventually people will stick because all their files are there, and their Amazon PC does not support mass storage devices like USB sticks to download all of their work.

Just put up pictures of exposed breasts everywhere around the country, it’s like cryptonite for Americans from what I know from big US websites.

I see they have rebranded their domain with a dash. When did that happen?

Your company can save a lot of money by replacing him with an used laptop that only opens chatGPT on startup.

Fucking springs can expand and contract.

Why do need this in the first place? So a 2 ton SUV can be 0.0058% more aerodynamic?

And this will benefit the average worker by giving him more free time while keeping his job and salary, right?

And I am Guybrush Threepwood, mighty music pirate!

YouTube did nothing to it, why would they, it’s their dream business model.

They could still cut the crap without change in revenue. People would just click on other videos and ads, instead of AI Slop.

Nope. Install metube on your PC. Give it the link to your YouTube music playlist. It will download the playlist into your local “Music” folder in the background. Install syncthing and it will push your music folder to your backups and phone.

To add new songs, simply save it on YouTube to your music playlist and it will be downloaded to your devices soon.

Problem was mostly rust because they used unprotected steel without any zink coating. In a wet country that would damage the frame and chassis within a few years, and sooner or later you end up patching one hole after the other. It’s even worse when they use salt on the roads in winter.

I watch some car restoration channel on YouTube. Some old cars look excellent at first, untill they lift it up and the floor plate or any mounts crumble into dust because some water was leaking inside the door frame, into the trunk or some hidden corner.

A lot of that comes from willingly allowing scam ads on his platforms that contribute more than 1 billion to his annual profits.

Some Indy games using unreal engine can still bog down a fast PC…

Have not built a PC since Windows7, what is the difference between a 150 and a top of the line motherboard?

In web development it’s impossible to remember all functions, parameters, syntax and quirks for PHP, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, vue.js, CSS and whatever else code exists in this legacy project. AI really helps when you can divide your tasks into smaller steps and functions and describe exactly what you need, and have a rough idea how the resulting code should work. If something looks funky I can ask to explain or use some other way to do the same thing.

Running windows 11 is already uncomfortable, but not for RAM reasons.
