If that's the dot you connected, you definitely need therapy. Also a bit racist against italians are you? You think they're all named Luigi and everyone talking about "luigi" must be talking about the last luigi you happened to wikipedia? Get off the internet.

What does a reference to a video game character have to do with murder? If that is the dot you are connecting you should visit a therapist.

How dare you call parent a homo

This may be true, but you wouldn't find it in a plume jet erupting from an underground saltwater sea. If there was no life in that sea, it would just be saltwater, and maybe some rocky material collected in the soup. "complex organic" means that soup is full of living creatures. (probably just a bacterial soup at best though, without sunlight fueling the biome it's going to be very low-energy and not supporting of multi-cellular life.)

Yeah. I had gamepass for $5 a month (through various deals). It had value at that price. It has no value at 20 or 30/mo because i'd rather OWN the games on Steam and GOG at that point.

I helped pentest a blockchain voting app with some people at Defcon 2023. This app was designed to be highly secure, transparent, and safe. It would ensure free, fair, and transparent elections anywhere that implemented it. Your vote would be signed by a FIDO2 key you possess (these would, of course, be distributed with your voting registration confirmations), anonymously to the public but signed by your local election board/gov and not giving them more info than they already get. This app was battle tested and hardened at defcon.

Of course, after shopping it around, no election boards etc were interested in it, because, as we know, free and fair elections are not what goes on in a majority of the world including the US of A.

Aliexpress. Though there are a lot on amazon in the 13 to 20 dollar range i would call "close enough", but those go on sale below 10 (i have one in my closet as backup i got from amazon for 9 dollars, msrp 15, blue switches.)

Louis Rossman's repair channel has a deep and long video history detailing the hardware failures of Apple over the years, many of them at the component level (such as capacitors designed to fail, or get easily overloaded etc, just out of warranty).

In the spirit of Starship Troopers "would you like to know more?", if you wish to actually learn how bad Apple engineering is, give them a view.

The 16e isn't a fashion statement it's a poverty symbol.

Bury your watch, and WAIT FOR THE SUN TO SET. Then, you may have your darkness.

Yes. $200 buys you a mini dell with an i3-12100T, 16gb, 256gb, in it. That CPU makes the raspi5 look like a joke. Throw $10 more dollars in and you've got a respectable mech keyboad too.

This isn't an all-in-one, it's just a PC+keyboard. It still needs a monitor, mouse, power supply, speakers.

I only buy the re-label eneloops at IKEA, or eneloops themselves. Never an issue. Costco alk's are junk. All alk's are junk.

Cold hard cash is still used for a majority of money laundering. BTC has a transparent ledger that makes it easy to trace anything. You need better arguments against bitcoin as the ones you use have been debunked for a decade. Bitcoin was designed to prevent economic collapse after the events of 2008, and it is proving resilient to the economic fuckery of the Trump administration. If you don't hold bitcoin today, you are doomed to poverty and hyperinflation through the 2030's.

Considering the only products i buy are 4 year used thinkpads on ebay, if they actually released a unified OSX/iOS iphone (or if MS did a windows version etc), that would be an extra sale they wouldn't otherwise have. There is no innovation anymore.
