$250 from 5 donations? Textbooks must’ve gotten a lot cheaper since I went to college if you can get them with that kind of money.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When your PC freezes and you have no choice but to hold the power button to force it offEnglish
11·3 months agoWindows computers aren’t the only type of computers to freeze. I’ve had to hold down power to shutdown my MacBook and my Linux desktop. It’s usually GPU related. The Intel macbook I used to used would freeze if you plugged it into a monitor while it was sleeping (it was using the Intel gpu before it went to sleep and then tried to output to the amd gpu after being woken up before the gpu was ready). About once a month my Linux desktop will freeze after waking up from sleep and I’ll have to hit the reboot button on the front panel.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•This has gotten out of hand and I demand satisfaction.English
1·3 months agoIt looks like a kitchen backsplash. The tiled counter the other poster suggested would make more sense, since I don’t see how they’d have the burritos floating against the wall. Also the wood edge is weird. Doesnt make sense for a floor or for a backsplash.

Linux@programming.dev•Podman 6.0 Lands with Breaking Changes, AMD GPUs SupportEnglish
32·3 months agoThat’s the best time to hear the words. You most likely haven’t set up anything that will be broken by the changes. Sometimes you get a “yep, that doesn’t affect me” and sometimes you get a “Wow, I’m glad they changed that. That sounded awful.”

Technology@lemmy.world•Burning Gas Pollutes So Much, Dirty EV Battery Manufacturing Evens Out In About 2 YearsEnglish
2·3 months agoWell yeah, it’s a myth pushed by fossil fuel companies and climate change deniers. I was just saying I’m surprised you haven’t anyone say it, it was the biggest ‘gotcha’ people would try to use when pushing back against EV adoption for years.

Technology@lemmy.world•Burning Gas Pollutes So Much, Dirty EV Battery Manufacturing Evens Out In About 2 YearsEnglish
4·3 months agoI’m surprised you haven’t heard the opposite. It’s wrong, but a really common talking point for a while was buying an EV wasn’t actually good because of the pollution involved in manufacturing the car. Then a few years later they updated the rhetoric to talk about the minerals mined for batteries. I assume it was pushed by Fossil Fuel companies.
This The Guardian article mentions the minerals one. You can see an example of The Daily Telegraph pushing the myths with the headline: “Electric cars are made of pollution and human misery.”

8·4 months agoIf we triple the lines of code produced, the number of LinkedIn posts made, and the number of garbage AI images generated, everyone will be able to afford a house and food will become so cheap it might as well be free.

Technology@lemmy.world•McDonald's Introduces AI Drive-Thru System, Sparking Customer BacklashEnglish
6·4 months agoThis is for the drive-thru, so you aren’t punching in what you want. You are looking out of your car window and saying what you want into a microphone for someone to jot down. This is trying to replace the employee taking the order.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy gamesEnglish
4·4 months agoThis is a really common headline thing, when the editor tries to put the important part of the quote into the headline while adding their own context around it. The actual quote is “Customers have enormous choice”. It’s basically the same line, PCGamer just swapped Customers with Gamers.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy gamesEnglish
6·4 months agoIt’s in quotes because it’s a quote.
What do you think the image is trying to show?
You’re clearly supposed to see the two dresses as different colors. The actual illusions are the rectangles. They even have lines between them so you can see the color doesn’t change, yet one apron looks white and one looks blue.

Technology@lemmy.world•Police boast of hacking VPN where criminals "believed themselves to be safe"English
28·4 months agoRunning ads on cybercrime forums and having your marketing language say that you won’t comply with the judiciary.

I’ve actually tried the super stuffed fudge one and it had way more filling than the others I’ve had in my life. I admit I’m not quite old enough to have tried them during the 60s, so maybe they were different back then?
The trick is actually that you are paying the same price for the box of poptarts but each wrapper only contains one instead of 2, so you get half as many for the same price.
