I have opinions. Some of them are terrible. For this I am sorry.

  • You should read the EULAs you sign when you Buy digital media.

    If it isn't on a physical device that someone can't take away, you don't own it, and even then you still have DRM in the way of you and the data you bought and paid for. That's why game consoles are being sold without disc trays, and why services like game pass are being pushed so hard. The writing has been on the wall for years, and ubisoft's director even said it out loud.

    Emulation from backup file still requires somebody rip the game, and if you download that you're stuck in a legal gray area, even if you own a physical copy of the game. For some, that's a dealbreaker.

  • Retro gaming and media rips.

    You can literally pop a ps2 game and just play with pcsx2, don't even have to rip it. Given the recent pushes towards "you'll own nothing and fuck you if you don't like it" it isn't surprising to me that a company is offering a path back to media ownership.

    Based on the specs for the machine, that's the goal as well. I wouldn't consider a 16 GB kit sufficient for much else than a media/web machine anymore, and that's the default on the advertised rig

  • This is correct with unmanaged batteries. Batteries with a BMS however will never get below whatever voltage is set as their 0% unless allowed to sit at 0% for long enough that e n t r o p y occurs and the charge slowly dissipates over time. This will happen even with a fully charged battery left to its own devices (ba dum tss) for too long.

    The point of the BMS is to manage the health of the potentially dangerous lithium batteries, and as long as they are used within spec it should keep voltages from getting so low the batteries enter a state of deep discharge, as well as prevent overcharging due to imbalanced charging rates or other similar issues.

    Used is the important word here. A battery must be used to maintain it's health. A battery must also not be abused to maintain its health.

    Now none of that touches on what you said, but was important background for this to make sense: The BMS will report to you whatever values it deems safe charging and Discharging limits based on factors like internal resistance and temperature. As a result 20-80% of an unmanaged battery is close to 0-100% of a managed one in new condition because the BMS will cut power before unsafe discharge limits are reached, and will stop charging to prevent overcharge once those limits are reached.

  • Amazon essentially killed local bookstores and then used the proceeds to become a massive megaconglomerate only challangeable by alphabet, apple, and meta in their sheer capability to control media flow.

    They have spies in the form of Alexa enabled IOT devices basically everywhere. They also have the Ring camera. Recently they have stayed they will share data from Ring cameras with Palantir.

    Amazon is insidious. Its evil is quiet in its spread.

    The sheer size of Amazon, along with their business model, means they must employ vast swaths of people. In the US alone, over 1M people are employed by Amazon. Amazon plans to lay off half of them in the next 8 years while they shift to a robotic workforce.

    These "too big to fail" companies are not evil out of some malaise for humanity. They are evil out of a cavalier disinterest in anything other than increasing the size of their hoards.

  • What is a useful or interesting product under $100 that you wouldn’t normally think to buy?

  • Didnt read the whole list, stopped at microcontrollers:

    Absolutely recommend everyone and their brother get an arduino learning kit or something similar. Being able to make your own devices is liberating. Learning to make custom IOT devices is even moreso.

    The rapid prototyping/learning kit it less than $100, once you've prototyped your projects and want to move them to a soldered breadboard or a PCB the microcontroller itself is about $3 on digikey. Cheap cheap cheap stuff considering what you can do with it. Obviously parts can add up but, c'mon Michael, there's always money in the banana stand.

  • That's kinda what I'm saying though. Those aren't randos! They're other people taking the same commute as you, every day. Make a connection with one and you might start to notice them more. Maybe you have a similar hobby or interest.

    Give people a chance to enter your life and they often become more than randos on the train. Maybe you find a commute partner, someone to chat with or bitch to about Jane in Accounting.

    I'm not gonna try to convince you, Clearly you saw my point and chose to reject it, that's your choice. I'd urge you to give different thinking a chance though.

  • Its a call to be present.

    There is nothing inherently wrong with wearing headphones on the train, but ask yourself why you're doing it.

    If you put on Headphones to keep people from talking to you, you're making the choice to opt out of the human experience.?Make that choice every day on a 45 minute commute and after only a week 7.5 hours where you've opted out of chance encounter, conversation, possibly meeting a new friend or partner. It might not be a bad idea to make the choice to NOT disconnect, actively choosing to engage in the world around us makes a huge difference in how we percieve it, and how it percieves us.

    An experiment I'd suggest, if you're the type to default to using your phone as an idle activity:

    Next time you're idle and get the urge to pull out your phone, instead look around you and find the most interesting thing you can see. Why is it interesting? Is there anything abnormal about it? Is it's place significant? Take that and note it in your mind, have a conversation with a coworker about it later. Then take note, how did this pointless conversation make me feel?

    Being present by choice, especially if done often, will create chances to engage with the World, and its inhabitants.

    The other day someone told me life was boring. Put the phone down, make more than the 2 meter cone you can see from around your phone visible, and you'll find the World has a lot of engagement to offer.

  • When/If you do, a RTX3070-lhr (about $300 new) is just about the BARE MINIMUM for gpu inferencing. Its what I use, it gets the job done, but I often find context limits too small to be usable with larger models.

    If you wanna go team red, Vulkan should still work for inferencing and you have access to options with significantly more VRAM, allowing you to more effectively use larger models. I'm not sure about speed though, I haven't personally used AMDs GPUs since around 2015.
