You could find driveable used cars for ~$700 before. Even accounting for inflation now, all you can find now are mechanic specials and parts only.

You should be able to get parts, though. It’s better to replace a part on a machine that will last 20 years than a part on one that will last 5 years.

That looks far too polished with locked in specs for them to not have any prototype. I’d trust companies that have actually made a product that has a janky Linux implementation that’s improving, than one that doesn’t exist yet relying on crowdfunding.

Carbon monoxide, not dioxide.

Yeah, that’s a weak ass sandwich

No, they have a degree on Facebook. Not from Facebook.

And in the case of a microwave, it makes almost no difference if you’re running longer than 30s

It did back in the windows 95 through XP days. I 'member when Windows would bog the fuck down if it was too fragmented. I’m pretty sure it was fat32 that was the problem.

Jostens is cancer

Man I stopped watching during season 5(?), whatever the Miami vice season was. maybe I should give it a try again.

I was only in JROTC 20+ years ago and I’m pretty sure I can march in step.

You’re comparing a laptop at idle to the power supply for a pi that needs to power it at full load plus overhead and inefficiencies. That’s like comparing apples to an orange tree.

There’s a little bit of a difference in the police response to protests between the two

I come home and just turn on my laptop and look at it when I get home from work. Just to remind me that there’s better things in the world.

Luckily new mexico is quite blue.

What it must be like to be able to retire after your onboarding seminar.

Pretty sure they meant the package, proper bubble wrapping would handle the abuse. That’s on the person boxing it all up.

FedEx lost a $500k case of equipment for the service techs who maintain the instruments we use at work. They work nationwide and have two of these cases for the entire country, they keep thousands of labs running. FedEx just… lost it. Eventually it was found a few weeks later or something. The cost is not really a big deal, it is basically just instrument components they use to verify the running components, but they’re the components that all instruments are compared to, so they can’t just put together another case as it suits them. There’s extra testing that goes in to make sure these components are exactly to spec.
