Not to sound like a shill, but I was surprised when Americans on Reddit would say it was nothing special. I didn’t even think they’d have a separate American product chain.

Over here it’s not the cheapest or best chocolate but it’s probably the best chocolate you can reliably find in any grocery store.

Also. American chocolate isn’t bottom of the barrel for me. I’ll take a Hershey’s white chocolate cookie thing over no name Syrian “chocolate” with RGB bloom and a barely-perceptible gumminess not even a mother could love. When I was a kid, the shops were full of questionable cheap Syrian candy.

We’ve actually had it pretty good in Lebanon pre-2019 when it came to European chocolate and candy. And occasionally if you knew where to shop, American soft drinks. American candy isn’t it, but American liquid candy? I’d be 900 kilos if I didn’t have to pay extortion prices for American Dr. Pepper. The British stuff we sometimes get just isn’t the same.

Edit: I just noticed what community this was in. Oops, was just scrolling through All. Sorry if this is a bit out of place. Good luck Canadians!

I’m not familiar with this, but it makes sense. A phone should have everything one needs for small projects already built in. I get the OP product though, there is a reason people have gotten so into SBCs, even when they’re not always the ideal option. There’s a convenience factor with having all the ports there.

As long as these OSes let you boot the device without a lithium battery connected, I suppose using the phones as-is as microservers on USB DC power is a very sensible way to EOL phones (and to actually make sure the hardware is reused). Bonus SMS/mobile data, if you live somewhere where it’s cheap enough to use that for anything that’s not your phone in your pocket.

All I’ve known since the Symbian era ended is iPhones, so this is unfamiliar territory for me. Interesting stuff.

This kind of thing is what technology should be all about.

Good lord, 1,400 comments, and the first quick scroll is exclusively downvote farming. That’s not even dedication, at this point it’s outright not understanding why people would want to communicate online

I think that one used simple Markov chains and was really entertaining for years.

I also remember there was a bot you could summon that would simulate a comment written by you, and it was funny to see those.

The invention of the torque wrench didn’t severely impede my ability to retrieve stored information, and everyone else’s, affecting me by proxy.

The tech four years ago was impressive but for me it’s only done two things since becoming widely available: thinned the soup of Internet fun things, and made some people, disproportionally executives at my work, abandon a solid third of their critical thinking skills.

I use AI models locally, to turn around little jokes for friends, you could say I’ve put more effort into machine learning tools than many daily AI users. And I’ll be the first to call the article described by OP as a true, shameful indictment of us as a species.

Yeah, it’s very cool to actually see this concept become available but you could do so much more with this budget.

As much as I appreciate the spirit of reuse in the homelab community, sometimes a 100 odd dollar N100 mini PC with an old SSD or a Pi that’s just sitting unused in a drawer is enough.

I’ve also wondered if there’s varieties. Maybe where I live, they’re different tasting and smelling? Broccoli has only ever been one of the vegetables to me. Nothing repulsive (or even noteworthy).

Even as a kid it was weird to see cartoon characters complain about specifically broccoli while I literally munched it while watching.

Now when it spoils, yes, it can get a little sulfury, as can cauliflower, its cousin. But fresh broccoli?

That’s really cool, I miss more things being outwardly interoperable. Very useful feature, I can’t wait until they deem it too usable and remove it.

I was explaining RSS to a friend (I follow their Substack blog via RSS, yes, I read it in the ugly Feedbro interface) and they were a bit weirded out by the idea until I went into how this was kind of a default option a few years ago.

One day I’ll have a home server setup that will keep the Web 2.0 dream alive for me.

Unfortunately as a kid with an iron and too much free time I’ve picked enough old PCBs clean to the point that I’ve collected so many single-purpose inductors I’ve had to throw a lot of them out.

I really think there should be more guides like this spread far and wide. Would have done me good to have a video like this ten years ago.

Unfortunately less and less parts are discrete now. I can understand what someone is doing on screen when I watch a NES repair but most current day devices use tiny SMDs. I understand why, but it is different.

The pipe cleaner would probably ruin the valve.

It’s not that bad, you just flush water through it a few times. That’s not really worth it for me, I use my Prismo but not that often. Maybe I’m not enough of a connoisseur to know the difference.

Without it, I basically rinse my Aeropress and then give it a wash when I’m doing dishes later. Super convenient compared to, say, scooping grounds out of a French press.

I have one, I find it fiddly to clean. The rest of the Aeropress is basically zero maintenance.

And it’ll give you a little surprise the first time you use it and seal the Aeropress.

I found that I’m not all too bothered by the liquid coming out the other side before I seal it when doing a standard recipe that doesn’t need inverting. But to each their own.

No physical activity has ever felt as satisfying as a handful of times I chopped wood when I was like 14. I feel like there’s a strong psychological element to it, I really felt like a man in a great way.
