Oof. Trying to figure out how to clean out my old place with my friend still living there. There's enough stuff here to overfill my current house if it were completely empty, and it definitely is not empty either.

Here's a picture of my old bedroom which has turned into a storage of sorts. Some of this can be thrown out.. But a lot of this is e.g new building materials, cables and powerstrips and fiber and what not else, bins and buckets and bags, furniture and parts thereof, clothing, etc etc.

Another picture underneath the tablebunk bed, showing bins full of stuff, cables, parts, other things

First-of-its-Kind “Smart BIOS” Harnesses AI Capabilities to Deliver Configurability and User Experience Improvements

@volpeon yea like BAIOS was right there and they still didnt smh

also lol did they go back in time, I haven't seen a real BIOS in years, it's all UEFI now which makes it possible to run normal software there in the first place, if they got it working in an actual BIOS then dam that's impressive, but it's probably just wrongly named lmao

if people think google is a bad search engine, clearly they've never tried to find a specific mod in the steam workshop for a popular game

@LimyChitou duckduckgo is actually a frontend for bing. There was a bing outage recently and duckduckgo was also down at the same time

https://youtu.be/xCBrtopAG80 good talk about a "why x86 needs to die" article, rectifying some common misconceptions, explaining what's wrong and why x86 does have some issues, but why "many instructions bad" is wrong and just inherent to popular architectures that need to compete, comparing to risc-V and ARM.

Lot of very in depth explanation of cpu instruction decoders and schedulers in a great easy to follow way, it's a pretty good talk

pro tip: if you put honey in the microwave for 10 seconds at 1kw, make sure that that's the appropriate amount of energy for the amount of honey leftover in the container

pro tip 2: when opening a bottle which just contained a boiling liquid, make sure you open it upward and aimed away from you, not downward, even if the honey container is made to be opened with the opening facing downwards

pro tip 3: zinc ointment is great for mild burns, make sure you have some at home before you need it

my last post actually made me think; how prepared are you all?

as in,

  • if you get a burn/cut/etc, where's your medkit?

  • If there's a fire that needs extinguishing NOW, what's your fire extinguisher?
    (Everyone has one, i.e the thing you grab, and if that extinguisher causes hot oil explosions or short circuits then it's a shitty fire extinguisher.)

  • If there's a nuclear incident, where're your iodine tablets? (okay maybe I'm a bit of a prepper but they won't do much for you 9h too late 🤔)

when you see a moot unfollowed you without any comment or anything leading up to it and you're left to wonder

  • did I fuck up
  • did they dislike a thing I said even though I put a content warning on it
  • did their fediverse software bug out
  • something else

I actually kind of fear for India and similar regions. A record of 52.3°C in May is alarming, but what if August brings the world's first 60°C? Current records, mostly around 54°C from 2016 and some as high as 55/56°C from 1931/1913, show the trend. The 2015-2016 El Niño drove many of those extreme temperatures, and the ongoing El Niño, with average global temperatures at an all-time high, is being compared to that event. We need to help fellow people navigate the heat.

friend made an interesting point: "I don't like it when artistic/creative programs show some splash screen with some very professional looking result, it should be something like children's drawings or something simple that invites drawing, not some slap in the face of every artist that ever opens it that isn't at that level or just doesn't want to see other people's portfolios."
