@njion Coffee is a type of tea, just like it is a type of bean soup

okay, here's a question: does anyone know of a good USB-PD portable battery that isn't shit?
every single one I've ever had has failed within a few months
I'd particularly like one that supports 100W charging so I can quickly charge it up, and a decent number of discharge power levels so I can use it for stuff other than just my phone
don't mind if it's heavy (in fact, heavy is expected if it actually has a decent capacity!) but would prefer one that actually lasts, if anyone has ever encountered one
@clarfonthey This seems like something that @Peetz0r might have opinions on

Question: should I leave my 90s/00s hardware (vcr, cd player, amp, etc) plugged in or only do so when using them? Specifically in terms of keeping the capacitors healthy, given how that’s a major weakness in tech from that era.
Based on my limited understanding, I can make a case for either so I’m wondering if there’s any consensus on this.
@flesh You probably don't want to know...
@marlies Ah I hadn't even thought of that one yet, I was just thinking of the laser!
Was just watching a tour of a factory that makes stuff for CoolerMaster and oof, they were laser-engraving keycaps without any kind of eye protection or enclosure...

@tubemapper the joy so many children feel when it comes to trains is so pure and lovely. Honestly, just that is reason enough to build more railways and run more trains.
@wheeze_NL In Brabant zijn het doorgaans de boeren die bovenaan het lijstje grootverbruikers staan :)
Iedere keer dat er weer een artikel uitkomt over hoe we 'allemaal' zuiniger moeten zijn met water, vraag ik me weer af waarom 'allemaal' nooit inclusief boeren lijkt te zijn.

Dus als je een paar mp3tjes illegaal downloadt of per ongeluk een liedje van Metallica op het filmpje met je kind hebt draaien wordt je helemaal de moeder kapotgeprocedeerd, maar als één van de grootste bedrijven ter wereld bewust, met winstoogmerk en opzettelijk hun hele AI traint met illegale downloads van boeken omdat de legale manier te duur zou worden: krekels?
@clarfonthey Oh boy are there stories to be found about the programming quality in Nix

who called it Adobe’s Generative AI and not Photoslop?
My desktop has 64GB of RAM. I just ran out of memory. When running a nixos-rebuild.
The memory needed for evaluation has really gotten out of hand...

FWIW, my Mom is a nerd, yes. But she's most definitely not a computer nerd. She wouldn't touch a computer with a ten feet pole if she could avoid them. She always hated them, because they never worked the way she imagined they should.
And until today, I was not able to help her, because a part of the puzzle was always missing.
We needed the combination of niri, Emacs, Org mode & org roam, notmuch, and a couple of other tools to exist at the same time, and I needed to be familiar with all of them. This lets me build a system tailored for my Mom, one she won't hate using.
I could not build that with any of these tools missing.
