Forget the content. Ads in general are ruining basically everything they’re allowed on. It’s a fuckin cancer.

This didn’t work for valve so I can see it also going poorly for Tesla.

I regularly power both my ts100 and Pinecil with a Milwaukee M18 battery and the barrel connector this is super convenient. The display is also convenient. The fact that you need the battery to set the temp seems numb and completely negates the USBC convenience because it means you can’t use any old USBC power source and still change the temperature. The 100w is also pointless because the other two options already heat incredibly fast and have a higher max temperature.

Ive worked in 3rd world and I’m shocked that you think these people give a shit about Bitcoin or that it can do anything for them. You can sing its praises all you want and go on and on about how it’s just me repeating what I’ve been told. It’s a joke.

But crypto also suffers from crashes and being devalued and if you’re buying Bitcoin with your hard earned dollar that is worth less and less then you are ultimately buying less and less Bitcoin. The fact that Bitcoin still needs all of the other currency to function as a middle man makes it vulnerable to the same risks. Maybe it helps people in niche situations but I’m sure we’ll all be thinking it’s worth it when those same struggling places are the hardest hit by climate change. At least they’ll have a bunch of digital currency propped up by fiat currency.

That’s great and all but doesn’t sound like a valid excuse for the excessive amount of energy it consumes. It’s also hard for me to imagine 3rd world places that somehow flourish because of a currency that needs the Internet to exist.

I’m fine doing away with physical dollars printed on paper and coins but crypto seems to solve none of the problems that we have with a fiat currency but instead continues to consume unnecessary amounts of energy while being driven by rich investors that would love nothing more than to spend and earn money in an untraceable way.

I hope this is sarcasm.

Unfortunately crypto is still somehow a thing. There is a couple year old bitcoin mining facility in my small town that brags about consuming 400MW of power to operate and they are solely owned by a Chinese company.

The argument that our bodies are inefficient meat bags doesn’t make sense. AI isn’t replacing the inefficient meat bag unless I’m unaware of an AI killing people off and so far I’ve yet to see AI make any meaningful dent in overall emissions or research. A chatgpt query can use 10x more power than a regular Google search and there is no chance the result is 10x more useful. AI feels more like it’s adding to the enshittification of the internet and because of its energy use the enshittification of our planet. IMO if these companies can’t afford to build renewables to support their use then they can fuck off.

Useful in the way that it increases emissions and hopefully leads to our demise because that’s what we deserve for this stupid technology.

Agreed.

Good for this guy. Fuck AI and the companies responsible.

This seems pretty rich coming from at&t who recently ran ads that implied they have satellite service when they don’t. https://m.slashdot.org/story/431806

You can’t do this with student loan debt which seems incredibly dumb. I also don’t understand borrowing 100k for school.

The fines for these things need to be a hard percentage.

Steamdeck(Linux), PC and Android.

This is dumb. Anyone installing this is giving absolute full control of their PC to riot and their Chinese owners. This level of control will do nothing to stop the most popular types of cheating from capture cards and AI. It’s a huge sacrifice with zero promise.

Right. Apple is even more restricted but somehow won their case. Makes it all seem like bullshit.
