Status symbol and to project a personality.

Jasper Hill Farm wins a lot of international awards.

Well incompetentboob, let me tell you. You will short and blow the voltage supply on the motherboard and take that port out of service.

I use the onboard CPU of my ryzen 5600g for my jellyfin and nextcloud (memories app) duties and it works flawless.

Taking an international flight where half the plane is smoking. Those were good times, especially in Greece where they loved smoking even more than the Americans.

Lockheed Martin pulled this shit on me 20 years ago. Applied for a job, did a quick phone screen and they invited me to their campus 5 hours away for an in person interview. When I got there they had a whole gymnasium setup with booths and about 50 people doing interviews and 200 bewildered engineers showing up hoping for a job. They never once mentioned it was going to be factory interviews. Fuck that and similar companies.

It’s heavier than air and will displace oxygen in the area causing asphyxiation.

They exposed the intranet RMA portal used by MSI customer reps to review RMA claims, customer communications and all the personal info of the customers. The portal has a nifty button to dump the whole database to a CSV file going back to 2017.

In my case I’m a manager so I don’t do any real work. Linux is great for an Edge browser, ms365 paper pushing wana be engineer.

That number was more like 30% with a windows laptop and all the security crap Microsoft convinced my company to install. It was so painfully slow and glitchy. So I went rogue and put Linux on my company laptop 8 months ago and I’m not looking back.

Depends on your luck. I’ve had to repair my Samsung dishwasher 3 times in 5 years and yet my parents bought the cheapest possible model 15 years ago and it operates lawlessly and does a better job at cleaning.

The USA officially hasn’t used 110v/220v since the 1950s. Its 120v/240v and 230v in Europe.

Ditto, though I’m getting more and more resentful by the day at the lack of multi user support. I’m not going to donate to them again.

Im wondering if the passive attenuation of your headphones is doing more work than the ANR system is? Regardless sound is perception and that’s all that matters. I think using any ear bud, headphone or even a speaker with Brown Noise playing loudly is likely the only sure way to completely block out your perception of all noise. Or just take some gummies and turn your brain off :)

So I work for Bose. ANR ear buds are notably better than ANR headphones because they totally block your ear and adjust the ANR based on a microphone literally inside your ear. It records what is heard in your ear and cancels it, our latest buds are uncomfortably good at this. I find the absolute quiet a bit unsettling.

But to your question, you just want quiet while you sleep? What about good old foam ear plugs? They work fairly well when put in far enough.

Its not just the EV, its every layer of the supply chain. From the lithium they mine, the batteries they make out of it, the circuits and metal fabricating. Their government subsidies the electricity, tools, facilities, labor, etc. I work in the engineering field and I see bits and pieces of this everyday and have seen it for decades because I’m forced to source parts from China.

I can 100% see that in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Super white washed and no industry to bring in fresh faces, just generational residency.

No outdoor advertisements/billboards, very few national chains, very protective of local business, everyone is very connected with the land and their community. Vermont is awsome.
