My still new-ish phone is a pixel 4a I got used. My laptop is a 2012 model and my car from 2006.

The release cycles are insanely fast and have been for a while.

Still no LiDAR.

La reine d’Angleterre est morte sans annoncer la fin du jeu. Est-ce que le jeu cesse par défaut ou il continue pour toujours?

Don’t forget light pollution.

Y’all take more than a minute to poop?

I have an other 2-3 years with my 1600.

Gaming, working (data processing, physical modelling).

The trick is to use a lower overhead OS than Windows.

I’m still using a i7-3630QM and a R5-1600.

They are both enough for what I do with them. Why would I upgrade?

I recommend LMDE nowadays, but it doesn’t really matter.

It’s not worth the cost of ruining LEO and the environmental effects of them burning up in the atmosphere

I’m daily driving a 2013 laptop on Endeavour and it feels as fast as new stuff. Doing a lot of relatively heavy compute on it too.

I so wish I could get my hands on an electric one to replace my 2006 TDI…

AC Valhalla.

I played though all the other ones but that one felt so soulless and bland. I expected it to not be great but nothing this bad.

Then again I finally realized recently that I don’t actually enjoy open world games (with some exceptions).

If I want to look at the world through a screen I’d stay home and watch a documentary.

The camera they use will never have the acuity, color perception and dynamic range that your eyes have. It probably doesn’t work super well in dark environment and it’s definitely completely useless for stargazing.

My point is you use UTC to plan international meetings but keep timezones for day to day stuff. Better yet with computers meeting planning software takes timezones into account.

When I do a when2meet with my colleagues everyone fills it in their local time and it’s fine, and then the calendar event is timezone aware as well so it’s completely a non issue.

Just use UTC then.

Yeah, but the cost of low latency is thousands of satellites that burn up in the atmosphere, need to be continuously launched, are a catastrophe for optical and radio astronomy and crowd LEO, reducing available space and increasing collision risk. All for a barely scalable system.

It’s not worth it. If you want low latency get a cable run or talk to a ground based antenna.

A geosynchronous satellite makes much more sense for those use cases.

The issue with starlink is the choice to be in LEO instead of using geosats. It lowers the latency but it makes the whole project completely unsustainable.

By that logic, you should fully spell out the month. FEB29 has no confusion. If you use the number then use the ISO standard.
