I've never understood the "slim" thing console makers have been doing.

"Behold! Our latest game system!"

six months later

"Behold! The system we should have made in the first place!"

Ok thanks for the heads up. Yeah my spidey sense was tingling a bit when I saw that. Most other batteries are around the 1000mwa range, then one product is bidding 5x that? Sounds sus.

Is it me, or are cookie popups getting worse, not better?

The left: clearly and succinctly points out another example of Republican hypocrisy.

The right: "LOLZ the left can't meme."

I've been told I sound like Tracy Chapman.

...which would be a huge compliment, if I weren't a middle aged white male.

Last week:

"Hi Neocamel, it's Tom from work."

~no follow-up message~

Me, 15 minutes later: "Hi!"

The end.

The article seems to indicate that the loss of 200 satellites is largely attributed to solar flares, not orbit degradation.

I can understand why so many programmers suffer from imposter syndrome.

I know more about SSH than anyone I know, but I still read articles like this and think, "SOCKS proxy. Huh. I don't actually know what either of those words mean."

Before anyone jumps in to educate me on what SOCKS is (please do though!), my point is that through my entire career in tech, I've always read articles and had to skim over terms and acronyms that I didn't know, unless I wanted to fall into a ten-hour rabbit hole of learning, where I ultimately feel totally overwhelmed and not sure I'm actually smarter than when I woke up this morning.

Seems like an interesting article, but for me to fully grasp it, I'd need to read like six other articles, which I can't do during my morning coffee/mindless scroll time.

I've taken the approach of learning through osmosis. I'll regularly read articles that I don't fully understand, assuming that I'll eventually gain a better understanding of whatever topic I'm reading about over time.

I don't remember Trump ever supporting the vaccine, and I don't remember his followers ever getting it.

Does that work on Mobile?

Me: "Maybe next year's zenphone will finally check all of my boxes and I can break free from the giant phone universe."

ASUS: "Hold my beer."

I'm about halfway through Dante's Inferno at the moment.

I started reading it about ten years ago...
