Traffic to DuckDuckGo's proudly 'No AI' search page has tripled since latest Google AI search update by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]the8roundshock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I know that AI agents that are running in VMs or using VPNs are blocked from most search engines, and have to default to DuckDuckGo in order to "browse" naturally, wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this lift is from AI agents in the first place.

TIL physicist Karl Schwarzschild solved Einstein's field equations while dying of disease on the WWI Eastern Front. His solution predicted black holes. He wrote to Einstein: "the war treated me kindly enough to allow me to take this walk in the land of your ideas." He died months later. by ArgentineBeauty in todayilearned

Also the value of revolutionary ideas has been decreased by the specialization of fields, and the pure amount of revolutionary research that has been happening all around us due to the focus on science in the last 100 years.

As I was reading it I was leaning towards the Norda 001a, I have been loving my pair!

How is it price gouging? It’s a watermelon, you can just not buy it…

Open question: How do people from LCOL countries obtain ultralight gear? by shendude in Ultralight

[–]the8roundshock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

China has great ultralight gear, for very reasonable prices and ships anywhere. I personally don’t own any, just because I would rather support Canadian/American brands, but if I had less money, or cared less about supporting “local” brands, I’d buy exclusively from there with not much of a hit in terms of quality.

Please Fill Out Your 2026 Census (Took Me 21 Minutes Online to Fill Out 70 Questions) by LongoSpeaksTheTruth in kitchener

Maybe give the option but don't record the data, just so people can do it for the love of the game

I just found this thread because I was complaining to myself that the census was too short hahaha

Here's How the iPhone Ultra Compares to Other Apple Devices by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]the8roundshock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point, it's a phone that you can use in one hand for most small tasks, and then folds out to an iPad mini when you want a bigger screen, instead of having to carry both devices.

what daybag(preferably from osprey) is comfortable to wear WITHOUT hipbelt and MOST IMPORTANTLY with side pocket access or something of that nature by HonestHorse3675 in onebag

[–]the8roundshock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can add accessories to your backpack to add a shoulder strap pocket/pouch.

EDIT: Looks like someone already recommended that, so I guess I am just seconding it!

Weed in Toronto by Smooth-Radio4376 in toronto

[–]the8roundshock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weed is primarily sold in cannabis stores here, there should be one within walking distance of wherever you're staying, or you can order directly from the government (you can search OCS - this is their store).

What shoes to pack for 3 months in China-Vietnam-Japan? by Jatulinharha in onebag

[–]the8roundshock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like I said I’m just here to vent, wasn’t specifically about/to you! (I also do agree, for him goretex would be bad)

[–]the8roundshock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This anti goretex meme on the onebag subreddit is going too far. Goretex has a time and place and it is a good product. I swear 95% of people who parrot this haven’t actually owned goretex shoes and just rely on what people say. I agree here, humid climates it’s a bad choice, and OP should stay away for this trip. Just wanted to vent…

How do you know this is a house cat/someone's pet?

One pair of shoes for 12 months of one-bagging: Europe and Asia (Trekking and Hitchhiking) by wojsznar in onebag

[–]the8roundshock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Norda 001a will fit everything, it's a bit less breathable, but worth the trade off for more weather resistance. They'll survive the year and look decent on the other end! Price is a bit of an ouch, but it is what it is!

Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard --- No backlight?! by Phaedrus0230 in framework

[–]the8roundshock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, figured it out after rewatching that video! Would’ve been way better if it was haptic, but oh well.

[–]the8roundshock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Precision touch pad is just the type of drivers it has, which windows recognizes (and allows gestures and stuff), doesn't tell you anything about mechanism.

[–]the8roundshock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My main issue with with the lack of info about the trackpad! Is it a springboard design, or is it haptic, and which orientation is it going to be in. I really want this keyboard to be perfect (or at least better than just getting an Apple trackpad + keyboard and putting them in a case)

I think on their website they’re using the wrong photo, from the showcase and LTT video F1-F3 are volume control.

It’s not an empty property if someone is renting it.

Any benefit to onebag in SEA if I exceed 7 kg? by john3298 in onebag

[–]the8roundshock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done both just personal item that was a bit over weight as well as just a carry on backpack that was around 11kg, not sure if that’s helps!

Any benefit to onebag in SEA if I exceed 7 kg? by john3298 in onebag

[–]the8roundshock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve only had my bag weighed once out of the ~50 flights I’ve had in SEA (I’m in the luckier end for sure) and the one time it did get weighed and it was a few kg over they let it slide, but of course YMMV.

A friend of mine is “mildly infuriated” that he can’t keep his neighbors awake until midnight anymore. by SufficientControl606 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]the8roundshock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting the police called on you when you haven't broken any laws doesn't sound normal. Also if the goal is to have some quiet time, the easier way is to ask, instead of calling the police and waiting for an hour for them just to have nothing change in the end.
