I do this at home and work. My running joke is “its about the journey, not the destination.” I’ve gotten my coworkers to believe in that approach too, so now everyone says that about a failed project. At the end of the day you probably learned something failing and that’s a win in my book.

Look into banana pi r3 or r4. Both should be on openwrt stable now.

Silver is the better conductor. Even if it is priced so that peons can afford it.

I feel like I go through the whole alphabet of options before giving up and rtfming.

Idk how anyone searches the internet anymore. Search engines all turn up so I ask an AI. Maybe one out of 20 times it turns up what I’m asking for better than a search engine. The rest of the time it runs me in circles that don’t work and wastes hours. So then I go back to the search engine and find what I need buried 20 pages deep.

Oh good it can fit the next Call of Duty game.

Thats a good idea.

Sadly real linux (not android) is not a good mobile option yet, though is progressing rapidly.

I have an old Dell XPS 13 sleep works great on for Linux probably can sleep a week or two and still have charge left when I open the lid. I have a newer framework and it’s dead in 2 days while “sleeping.”

I wanted a cybiko so bad as a teen. It seemed like it would be so cool if everyone I knew bought one. Of course no one did, but I still think they are awesome.

I know I’m pretty pissed off about it too.

Way different stance than 8 years ago.

Looks nice but I won’t buy anything Palmer Luckey is involved in.

There are 8.0658*10^67 orders you can shuffle a card deck in.

The math is easy. It’s just 52! if your calculator has that function which is really 525150…32*1. There are 52 possibilities for the first card 51 for the second since you’ve already used one card and so on.

How many decks of cards have been shuffled over human history, or will be is beyond me.

They really pissed me off with their Terry Prachet bundle a few months ago. Only in the small text did it state the books had kobo DRM. I’ve been buying bundles for a decade and never had to worry about DRM before so I didn’t even think to look for it.

Some living things will make it through the extinction event and the next sentient species will fuck it all up again in a billion years or so.

This was so confusing. We are doing RTO at work but it means rotating time off not return to office. In general people are pretty happy here to get some extra vacation even if it’s unpaid (we can claim unemployment so it’s not that big of a hit). It’s manufacturing so there’s never been work from home except some management types during peak COVID.

Ahh got it. I don’t use it as regularly as I did 10-20 years ago but I’d still miss it being around.

what happened to pitchfork?

I think it was somewhere around 6 to 10 hours with a certified instructor. The 40 with an adult was yeah a family member or friend. The quality definitely depended on the adult. My parents took it seriously and made sure we completed the lessons, but I had friends whose parents just signed the form without providing the additional instruction. It was 20 years ago so details are fuzzy.
