Mounted under the desk, maximum space AND ventilation, is the correct response.

Doubly so if you use a standing desk. A little work and you can get it so only one or two cables ever need any slack.

I built the Framework Desktop, and now I don't want to give it back The Framework Desktop DIY Edition is something special: powerful AMD "Strix Halo" Ryzen AI PC you configure and build yourself, assisted every step of the way by hyperdetailed instructions that antici...

The Framework Desktop PC does a superb job splitting the difference between a powerful, enthusiast AI PC (with an AMD Strix Halo chip) and making it accessible to the average consumer.

Tech companies are increasingly struggling to prove LLMs provide tangible productivity gains for most people

So watch for them to increasingly rely on intangible things like mental health (which, to be clear, is not and never will be therapy)

Me, when I realize I can listen to audiobooks while I do other things: "Oh, yay!"

Me, when I realize doing multiple things at once makes me bad at listening to audiobooks: "Oh, no!"

Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website Part of Article I Section 8, and all of Sections 9 and 10, which address things like habeas corpus, nobility, and militias, are gone from Congress's website for the Constitution.

Totally normal stuff: Two sections of the Constitution, about due process and foreign gifts, just vanished off the Congressional website, a site that has not changed in many many years

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Should’ve assumed this was already a thing!

I switched my $180 Razer Naga for this $40 mouse—and I love it The Solakaka SM809 has a regrettable name, but it does everything I wanted the Naga Pro to do.

I really love Razer's Naga mice with the interchangeable side panels...but almost $200 is way too damn much for a mouse. Here's a cheapo model that does almost all the same stuff, for forty bucks.

I bought this mouse with my own money, I'm using it right now.

"Sorry little Timmy. We were THIS close to making a vaccine for the cancer you got from tainted drinking water."

"But a bunch of people were so mad that there was a movie with a Black mermaid that we decided, naw, fuck it, no cancer cures and let's go back to feudalism while we cook the planet."

Why? We've decided that laws don't apply to billionaires. And these investors helped make that a reality.

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

The correct take. Kagi is really very good when search elsewhere is getting really very bad.

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

There is nothing that gets my red flag meter going quite like men saying things like "it was hard meeting women because I was interested in (insert nerdy thing here)" when I have distinct memories of certain kinds of men in nerdy thing specifically and repeatedly excluding me from nerdy thing.

"Hmm, if I report accurate statistics that my boss doesn't like, he'll fire me. I wonder what I should do to make sure that doesn't happen."

It's true! The hardware is unbeatable, and macOS isn't perfect, but it doesn't try to show me clickbait MSN articles or change my default web browser without my permission.

I'll make sure to wear them in my Apple Car and when I'm watching my Apple Television.

Steve Jobs never had to say this about the iPhone. The sheer undeniable utility of the things made them go from a novelty to ubiquity in about 4 or 5 years.

YouTube video by MarvelMusicVEVO The Fantastic Four: First Steps Main Theme Extended Version (From "The Fantastic Four: First Steps"

Fantastic Four is fun, but entirely unessential if you've kept even half an eye on Marvel stuff. Unless you're a big fan of the characters, I guess, probably the most faithful movie versions so far.

The best part of the movie is right here: youtu.be/VXo5V5VJAQ4

we are a fallen nation

but occasionally that's a pretty good thing

I mirror this view, with one caveat: it will -not- necessarily find an audience and it won't necessarily be a success, but if you made it because you want them to exist, at least you have the reward of having pulled these never-made things screaming out of the sea of ideas into reality.

I never said you supported anything.

But if you want me to pore over the history of a gun nut reply guy rando, you can pay me by the hour.

It isn't about unlimited access to weapons, either. That's settled law.

But it's fucking adorable that you think anyone in this administration cares about the Constitution, while the secret police beat the shit out of citizens for the crime of being the wrong color.

If you plan on shooting a dozen of them within a few seconds, sure.

But a better solution in that situation, even if you have a gun, would be running away.

Pistols make sense for personal defense, rifles or shotguns for home defense. Semi-auto rifles make sense for mass shootings.

I'll never do without this little powerbank again - the reason I adore this little power bank from Anker, which is why I don't want to leave the house without it.

I've got this same little power bank, it's great. Bought several as gifts. www.pcworld.com/article/2852...

There are legitimate reasons for a person to have a gun in America, if only because so many people have guns.

Yes, that's a circular argument. It sucks.

But there's zero self-defense justification for having a semi-auto rifle. These guns are designed to kill lots of people quickly. That's it.

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"
