I work in the medical field and my brain cells have been constantly assassinated for years by bad presentations. Every once in a while I find unicorns - people who tell a story, teach and present using Powerpoint/Keynote slides as supp

If there is anything we can take out of the current conflict is that being a NATO member as a country is exceedingly important. I am unsure Russia would have made all the moves it made against Ukraine if the latter were a NATO country. Also

The Pi mk4 can do up to 4k (HDR) with the most recent Kodi updates. Really nice. Mine unfortunately requires a smol fan because otherwise it would randomly reboot, luckily Noctua makes 40mm silent fans. Connected on the GPIO pins for 5V, it

I'll try and write some thoughts on this so maybe you can understand where I'm coming from. I feel that a lot that makes Prometheus a good movie in itself is how it's paced and the graphical effects, albeit it still suffers f

I agree, when Ridley Scott does something nowadays all I can think about is how he will ruin it. Villeneuve is an absolutely amazing director, but my personal feelings towards Ridley Scott after Prometheus and Alien Covenant is that he shou

This guy is basically Tony Stark with a box of scraps. I'm speechless.

A while ago I caved in and purchased and installed Bitdefender, which I knew was all right. It wasn't. I didn't renew the license and uninstalled it. FFWD a couple years and my best friend upgrades his PC. Threadripper Zen 2, 128G

Funnily enough I was reading the other day how some BMWs will come without a touchscreen due to the silicon/chip crisis and I actually thought that was a plus. Seriously, whomever thought it was a good idea to make cars use touch contr

I'd like to meet some of those people. iOS changed, but not in a way that it hampers usability - and by this I mean basic usability. Texts, calls -> these are the important bits in a phone, not 5000 weather apps that do the same thi

The goal was never to establish a human kind repository of knowledge, but to rule the world. Somebody read Asimov's Foundation series, much better than the current TV show creators anyway :-)

As somebody who has been using Microsoft stuff for years and paid through the nose for it, can you take a guess on why Microsoft is going this shitty path since Windows 8 came out? I have issues with a LOT of stuff, but ads on the login scr

Luckily with the advent of Proton and actual anti-cheats being supported by Linux, the last thing keeping me on this utterly disgusting platform will be gone. I won't miss Windows one second. Now just to find the right distribution env

It's just another way of saying "kids grow by themselves and school educates them" instead of actually becoming involved with the process and shielding the child from big tech which feels like a rather big threat to underage

Yes, I am sure that the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre article [1] is full of misinformation according to China, seeing that they actively pursue people who speak up about it where they have jurisdiction and those people are "disappear

This reminded me on how nice Netflix was when it started and how obnoxious it has become. Just like Amazon and Facebook. Small starts, nice things. Then it starts being mildly annoying, then it just intrudes everywhere in your life (like yo

Seriously, I would never have expected that somebody would unironically go on and compare VW with Ferrari. You literally have no idea what Ferarri is and what they do and where they do it and how they hire their employees. Their cars are al

It is also completely unreasonable to assume your clients all upgraded to the previous model which still had an USB-C charging brick when all the previous chargers had a USB-A port.

I think what the parent comment meant was that the pollution debt will be automatically paid when civilization collapses and industry basically stops functioning. A good way of looking at the situation is that the Earth will be fine regardl

The fact is that Razer sells a LOT of keyboards and they have been pushing Synapse on the users. I got out of that years ago and I currently run a custom keyboard running QMK. The users are just fanatically tolerating Synapse 3 and are stil

The biggest red flag at a work place is being welcomed "to the family". The second biggest red flag at a work place is being told at induction that "we work as a team over here". It's patronizing and implying that y

Even looking within western EU, things could have been done so much better - remember how poorly Italy handled the start of the pandemic? But the true disaster is in Eastern and to a lesser degree central EU, as well as India, Pakistan, etc

The collective actions of governments did nothing there. What happened is we got exceedingly lucky the research was already there for 30-odd years and interested parties pumped money into it like there was no tomorrow. Most governments sinc

Previous 1Password user here. Switched to KeePass, still figuring out the ins and outs, but looks quite nice in the options it provides.

This reminds me of a practice a recruiter used to boast when I applied for a job - throwing half the applications in the shredder without even reading them because they didn’t want to work with “unlucky people”. Albeit I was mildly curious

Well first of all I am not a mathematician, but I enjoyed assimilating the basic principles of math. Considering the problem as follows: "Bob and Alice have 10 candies in total, and Bob has 2 more candies than Alice. How many candies d

Genuinely curious on what their proposed solution is if they have 10 candies in total and Alice has 3 candies more than Bob.

This feels like such a waste. Yeah, let's destroy electronics (when there is a silicone shortage) and let's destroy clothing (when a large percentage of the people in the world walk around in rags). Makes me unbearably sad we&#x27
