Enough that there’s a serious spike in VPN sales during the porn age restriction wave.

I doubt NordVPN and friends would see that if EVERY single lemmy instance got banned.

Texas wants what the EU and California have so bad.

Me when I go into stem but I refuse to get a job working in an unethical field (I’m poor)

They had an auto tram that could carry everyone across the entire facility and was sophisticated enough to stop for a robotic auto loader.

I feel like it would have been trivial to ha e acomputer Controlled cart and, if they really wanted, a humanoid robot to press the button.

On your parents. They are now addicted to not just Gox but also Newsmax and OAN. You will win this battle gun mage, but I’ll win the war come Thanksgiving!

There’s a book I read that takes place in Faerun where a cleric is getting tortured by ogre clerics by having his limbs broken and then they use heal spells to heal his limbs at odd angles. After he’s freed, they break his limbs again, heal them in braces, but he had a permanent limp

DnD healing can only do so much before its just some high power reality changing magic.

I like to pick the lock to make sure there’s nothing important behind the door. Then I lock it back to shoot it.

It’s insane. I really want one for that reason, but ThinkPad with a ugreen 145 Watt battery bank gives me 16 hours of use. That’s all waking hours.

It’s hard to justify spending 3x as much on a single laptop just for that kind of battery life.

I have done a full 8 hours of work on my Dell Latitude 5440 before on battery. I put it in bat saver and it lasted me the whole work day.

But I re cognize something: why would I need to do that?

I sat a desk or my couch all day both of which had a convenient outlet. There was no point in doing that all on bat. Yeah it’s impressive to have a crazy long battery life and is why I wanta MacBook for coffee shop coding days, but again, there’s almost guaranteed to be convenient outlets and I own a 145Watt battery bank if needed. Thus my $150 ThinkPad E495 has been reaching 16+ hours of use without needing a wall wart.

Maybe your use case is different but mine where I’m certainly going to be stationary enough to use a plug or a battery bank means I can’t justify the apple tax. Plenty of people have done this calculation hence why Apple still doesn’t have an appreciable enterprise market share let alone a competitive one.

Just saying, if you had spent as much on a laptop as you did on a MacBook, you would get a full work days of battery.

It’s the same failure point apple fans have about Android. Yeah there are cheap androids. They suck, but also they cost$100-$200 new. What’s apples offering in that price range?

I haven’t had a prime sub in 5 years. It’s not been worth it in a while.

What good is the convenience of having everything on the same website if I have to determine if it’s fake or not?
