Glad that I recently bought a bunch of storage so that I'll be covered for a good amount of time.

I mostly agree with you, but I still don't think it's "worth the hype" even if you use it responsibly, since the hype is that it is somehow going to replace software devs (and other jobs), which is precisely what it can't do. If you're aware enough of its limitations to be using it as a productivity tool, as opposed to treating it as some kind of independent, thinking "expert", then you're already recognizing that it does not live up to anywhere near the hype that is being pushed by the big AI companies.

This is really cool of you! I don't want any of them but wanted to say thanks for being generous 😄

Never had a problem with the se-xxxx-wg-xxxx servers. Can view directly from Sync.

As to whether it's possible to get certain apps use specific physical RAM sticks, I am not sure, but that seems unlikely and would probably require some very low level modifications to your operating system. But even before you get to that point you'd have to physically connect them to your new motherboard, which will only work if there are both free RAM slots on it, and your new motherboard has slots for the same generation of RAM that your old PC uses.

Just curious, what is the evil monopoly shit you're referring to? Is it simply the fact they are effectively a monopoly in games distribution, and that in and of itself is bad, or are there more specific practices or actions you're thinking of?

Maybe I'm getting things backwards here, but wouldn't disabling cookie persistence actually stop some of the more malicious forms of tracking, where different websites track your activity across websites? I'm not an expert on this specific matter but my understanding was that website A saves a cookie in your browser, which website B then uses to identify you (maybe with some extra steps of shipping that data off to some data broker or w/e but you get the picture). I thought that disabling persistence would stop that from occurring in the sense that once your restart your browser and go to website B, there is nothing from A for them to look at.

Regarding me sounding cringe, well, to each their own I guess.

As for the rest of what you said, yes, I agree with that, and that is indeed what I was thinking of. People have different mothers, and different relationships with their mothers.

I'm not talking about dick pics, and I'm not saying inappropriate generally. Just that you don't want to text your mom about it.

I also wonder this

Small room with enough desks for just the immediate team and plenty of space in the desks would be my dream. Maybe a whiteboard or two. That would be excellent.

 

Looking for a tailor who can repair textiles. I have had the loop which holds the belt on a pair of my jeans come loose due to the thread breaking, as well as one of the buttons on a bag of mine break. Is there anywhere in Taipei I could get these repaired? I guess it shouldn't be too difficult for someone who knows what they're doing to fix this, but I have no clue where to go for something like this and I can't fix it myself. Any info is appreciated! :)

 

I'm going on an exchange to Taiwan this fall, and am going to study at NTU. There are very affordable dorm rooms on campus, which I have applied to, but there is no guarantee of getting a room. Therefore I am looking into alternative solutions if necessary.

Ideally I'd like a solo studio apartment somewhere near NTU (or quickly accessible using public transit), but I am also willing to share an apartment. My budget is realistically maximum 25000 NTD/month, but I may be able to stretch it to 30000/month if necessary.

I am aware of the Facebook groups and have joined a large number of them. I will definitely keep an eye out there.

I tried going on 591.com.tw, but since I don't yet read or speak any Mandarin I wasn't able to figure it out.

Do the members of this community have any general advice about renting or living in Taipei, or specific tips for places to look? I'm interested in any and all information about this! :)
