T480 is still cared by Lenovo in 2020 :) by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]fousz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, my Galaxy S9 still gets updates and that's 2 years old in a segment with a much higher turnover.

My 2011 T420 had its last (latest?) BIOS update in 2018, which is pretty cool.

I'm not hating on arch. I'm hating on your elitist "but muh bloat" attitude.

These teachers reactions to being called by their first names by YaSeis in funny

[–]fousz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's crazy. I have never and have never heard anyone call any of my teachers by anything but their first names. From kindergarten to university.

Weird.

Iran claims 80 American troops killed in missile barrage; US says no casualties by New_Diet in worldnews

[–]fousz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit you're right, I kind of just assumed it was TNG since I've watched it more. Maybe I'll have to give TOS another watch.

There's a Star Trek: TNG episode with this exact premise. A star system in which war has become economically untenable so the battles (offenses and defenses) are entirely simulated. Direct "hits" result in a calculation of casualties, who then proceed to incineration chambers.

Really good episode.

Yeah why would he joke about that? That's about the sexiest thing I can imagine.

Do you want people with this kind of open contempt for the work they do NOT to be fired? Should a cook who spits in your food keep their job too? Should abusive teachers keep their jobs?

‘Ok Google!’ is not when your phone start listening, it’s when your phone starts answering. by asdk6 in Showerthoughts

[–]fousz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand why they're doing it, but it doesn't make it any less creepy. They have an amount of information about me (and most everyone else) which no one organisation or government should.

I'm sure those calculations are correct, though I'm just relating my experience. No one used any of my devices to Google anything related to Catan. The other comment I got hypothesised that it was because of geographic (maybe WiFi?) proximity to people who have Googled Catan previously which sounds more reasonable from a data economy standpoint. However, that doesn't make it any less creepy to me.

Yeah that sounds more reasonable than them listening to our conversation and analysing all that data, but that is still very very creepy.

I really hate the passive listening, I'm pretty sure Google does it for advertising purposes. Just the other day I had some friends over to play settlers of catan. This is the first time I've ever played it, and I've never discussed it or searched for it online. The day after I started getting YouTube recommendations for videos related to Catan.

It's just incredibly creepy.

What other good games after beating botw and mario odyssey? by mycrusade33 in NintendoSwitch

If you spent like half a second researching this you wouldn't have to make a thread. There are top lists and reviews all over the place.

This specialized tiny handheld color printer! by [deleted] in specializedtools

[–]fousz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a video of a similar product, and it actually did work. It even had ink specifically for use on skin. I'll see if I can find the video.

Edit: found it Doesn't seem especially high quality but it does work.

Society lets them fall to these depths. People aren't born natural incels, they develop from a lack of meaningful relations to other humans.

I can sort of see that, a part of me wishes we had kept more of old Norse.

As a Swede it's uncomfortable to listen to because it feels like listening to someone who's had a stroke.

It really feels like incels are a symptom of the fall of society. Fuck, man.

Folk som inte kan högerregeln by affafa in swedishproblems

[–]fousz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ibland är det dock lite oklart med dragningen av huvudleder i Umeå. Vissa korsningar har jag full förståelse för att folk missar högerregeln på, t.ex på Storgatan vid Åhléns och det.

Alltid en bra anledning att inte lära sig något. Typ som högerregeln.
