I’ve had N40L and N54L, still running one, and I would absolutely not suggest buying one. They’re too old and underpowered, and they’re honestly quite inconvenient to service. If you get one for free, then sure, but if you’re going to spend money, you can get something cheap, more powerful, and easier to work on, like a used optiplex.

I was just thinking yesterday that I should replace my one remaining N40L instead of waiting for it to die.

Dark Brandon is the hero this country needs.

Do they include “fighting with anti patterns and dark patterns” as broken? It’s pretty insane how much misalignment there is between what most people want their computers to do and what the companies want people to do, which seems to largely be “look at ads literally everywhere”.

I sense a replay of 2016.

you can’t convince me everyone is recycling their used electronics.

Amazon bricks your expensive new-ish device and now you have to pay to have it recycled? Hell no people aren’t recycling them, and that too should be illegal. Amazon should be legally required to take responsibility for recycling those devices, and how the device is recycled should be part of the device design process.

Of course! That’s what family values are all about! Praise the lord and pass the ammunition!

Dang, he only ran for president 8 years ago? It seems like an eternity ago that he was president.

This is so fucked:

When Mr. Duterte left office, his administration said 6,252 people had been killed by security forces — all described by officials as “drug suspects.” Rights groups say the overall death toll stands at roughly 30,000.

Privatized profits and socialized losses are such bullshit.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

Except male genital mutilation, aka circumcision. (Please don’t take this as me saying FGM and MGM are equally bad. FGM is much, much worse.)

Remember that satan did not make hell.

That means the supply of workers in many countries is quickly diminishing.

I thought AI was going to take our jobs.

The lawyers are just loving this AI bloodbath.

Fuckin seriously! I worked on WiFi back then and when I saw that my jaw hit the floor. Mad hacking skills, as in mad ability to find a solution within a crazy landscape.

In binary, when you add one more numeric place, things double. Not doubling would be like having two digit decimal numbers but only allowing people to count to 50.

And then they don’t read King James’ other books, like Daemonologie, “a philosophical dissertation on contemporary necromancy and the historical relationships between the various methods of divination used from ancient black magic.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemonologie

I use an rpi2040 with circuitpython and usbhid. Plug it into anything and it shows up as a mouse and moves the mouse in a tiny circle every few minutes. You can get one for $6.
