Man’s gotta sleep!

Wait, are these little guys getting stoned?

I personally think this is a better idea than an old laptop. Easier to work on if the fan or SSD ever dies, and the cooling is a little better than any cheaper laptops I have worked on. It also wouldn’t need to be a NUC, basically every PC company makes a SFF or 1L sized computer, I’m partial to the Lenovo but the Dell’s are pretty nice too. I have about 8 Lenovo that are used as mini servers between home and work, on 24/7

I understand what you’re saying, but I think the user counts and usages would matter big time. I used to run it on the smallest plan DO offered, but I haven’t in a few years now. No idea if the usage requirements have grown over time, and that was just for 2 users. I know a lot of people run it on a NAS in a VM or container, that’s not exactly a dedicated machine either.

Look into digital ocean. They have pretty cheap hosting, like $6 a month last time I checked. You used to be able to get a month for free too. If it looks like a good option I can probably rustle you up a referral code.

I’ve been using Qobuz for a few years. I’m on android and the car app is fine, but not amazing. I haven’t had any drop outs but I choose CD quality on cell service and download a lot of my favorite albums.

They most likely use a third party like mimecast or the built-in encryption in outlook. I also haven’t had an issue between PGP and GPG but I’m not a heavy user.

If it’s not a Dell it’s an HP Compaq. HP bought Compaq and used the name for branding for a while. It would have been one of the last Compaq branded towers.

Do you lose information when you share it with others?

It does, but Gax also has all of that knowledge. Now you are in a galactic game of wits.

Even blenders have safeguards though, if the pitcher isn’t installed most won’t work. I don’t think it’s insane to require some sort of safety with LLMs.

I mean, how long should a laptop work? OP said it was pretty old, these things happen. I totally understand wanting to keep what you have going as long as you can, but hard drives have a lifespan and it’s usually around 3 years of constant use. SSD are a little better but flash still ages. Not ideal but at a certain point you kinda gotta accept that it’s not long for this world if you don’t do maintenance.

On the one hand I completely agree with you. On the other I know that Texas is a maga cesspool. We all know that not everyone in the state is conservative, but we also know that it’s a bastion for conservative leaning people. You might not like it, but do you actually think it will ever change?

They don’t need oxygen when I’m sleeping?

Yes.

Sorta. I agree, they are a for profit company now. They do still let members vote on the board of directors, which is kinda cool, but it also seems like those elections are a sham with little to no oversight these days. And you can sell your own shit back to them, which is kinda co-op adjacent at least. What I really hate is that they got rid of their classes and trips, it was a big part of what drew me into the membership in the first place.

Recreational Equipment Inc. It’s a big outdoor store in the US. They have camping and hiking stuff mostly, not really fishing or hunting.

My problem is I just don’t really like wearing watches. I want to, I like watches and I like having the time on me without getting distracted by my phone. But I just can’t find a comfortable band, I don’t like tight shirt cuffs either.

I feel like withings cornered the market on hybrids. They are a little pricey but they are built very well.

…no. forklift can lift car. Is very heavy.
