You do, and don’t fool yourself that you don’t.

You probably don’t click on ads, but they stick in your brain. You might see a half-dozen ads for Doritos, and then when you go to the store a week later, you’re slightly more likely to buy Doritos.

The vast majority of advertising is just getting a brand or an idea into the back of your head so when you’re looking for something in that product category, regardless of it’s a VPN, a web host, a snack food, a car, or whatever, you’re going to have a bias towards what you’ve seen in the past.

Most of my ad-blocking isn’t to stop myself from buying some herbal supplement/spray tanner combo, it’s to stop myself from being biased by the capitalist propaganda machine.

I am not immune from advertisements, and neither are you.

Well you certainly accomplished a lot. I’m proud of you.

Outdated advice (unless buying older stuff) Brother has enshittified like the rest.

You can make a tray with holes slightly bigger than a pretzel piece and shake everything through the holes. What stays is everything bigger than the pretzel but all the pretzels and smaller go to a lower tray.

Then in the lower tray you have holes slightly smaller then the pretzel and you shake everything through.

Then everything smaller than the pretzel is on the bottom tray, combine that with the top tray and you’ve got yourself a prezelless snack mix.

That’s an interesting question to ponder.

The bigger the grid the bigger the impact of failure (which does happen) and the harder to get it back up.

You want a grid big enough to have some variety in use, generation, and weather, but not so big that one malfunction takes out everyone.

Aside from Texas, the US grid is just fine.

I watched it at a friend’s house.

You don’t know her, she doesn’t go to this school, lives in Canada.

It’s not a KVM though, which is why it’s only $50. It has no video capability.

Kinda looks like this KVM switch is missing the “V” part.

I’m excited that they continue to innovate and listen to customers. I own two Framework laptops, and I’m thrilled that I can easily upgrade to this version without having to replace the whole thing.

Even better that I can replace parts as they wear out, or as I feel. I love the monitor, so no need to replace it now. If it ever gets damaged though, I can grab the upgraded one without changing anything else. If the battery starts to suck, I can update to a higher Wh one.

Such a great product (so far).

Probably has less structure to the frame, smaller crumple zones, and probably no airbags in the pillars.

Wonder if there’s a trade off with the faster charging, or if it’s just a side effect of the grid power setup.

Yeah, it’s worth it to just start fresh. Keep your user data, nuke the rest and setup from scratch w/automation if it’s extremely customized to your liking.

I personally try to use the default config as much as possible so there’s not as much to set up after installing from ISO.

But your camera phone can already copy text. If it’s a tattoo about the first paper you wrote, whatever you make needs to work for 60+ years. Text is always going to be valid, who knows when QR codes will become obsolete. 60 years ago you’d be getting a tattoo of a punch card, and that would be mostly meaningless today.

Sure, but that $2/yr company goes out of business after 10 years and the QR code stops working.

I guess making the number just copy into your clipboard would be a decent option, but you can also just copy/paste text from images now, so why go through the trouble of QR coding it when that only makes sense to a computer?

Might be obsolete after a bit though. A QR code only points to a URL and that might change (unlikely, but after 20 years…)

I have a couple good friends that unironically enjoy these.
