Now that google has started saying the quiet part of their slogan out loud, it turns out the entire slogan is "don't be evil, be something worse than that."

Wow, Apple lost a customer for life today.

My laptop screen broke for no apparent reason yesterday. Today I learn that the laptop is 60 days out of warranty. Sticker price $650 for repair (lol no).

When I got in contact with a 3rd party repair shop they let me know that Apple has hard blocked screen repair on newer models by locking the part ID to the motherboard. Oh and also the repair shop owner is currently being sued by apple and had the police and the local Apple manager banging on his door at 1am about a laptop.

Enough is enough. 🙄 I guess I have to find a loaner laptop to deliver my presentation next week (which is a Keynote file). Then I will be in the market for a linux laptop.

Any recommendations? I heard system76 was good.

yes, they have, the SE2 used by CC Mk4 is broken (source: Coinkite), and SE1 also has been broken (source: a talk by the Ledger Donjon team)

honestly i wouldn't either for a gas powered thing

about the only thoughts i have about it is that i'd like to have a big stash of methanol, that burns nice in those engines clean, and is very stable and durable, i forgot about methanol

toxic but stable. very good for a long lasting petrol engine fuel

the only thing is that it is more corrosive to plastics and rubbers than normal gasoline, but it IS more stable so it can be stored a lot longer

thanks for reminding me, i was wondering if there was a good liquid fuel internal combustion engine fuel that actually can be used even if it's stored for decades, yes, methanol, methanol

you have to replace many of the parts of the engine to make sure the fuel won't eat it if you use it with the fuel and let it sat for a while but yes, methanol is very stable, nasty stuff, but very stable, probably the best long term high energy liquid fuel there is

both of them are IoT grade shit (and at least one lacks any CC certification) that don’t have the same basic protections as any credit card within the last 15 years

It’s so fucking bad. Idk why they can’t fix the bugs. Tor doesn’t work half the time.

And its censored, while i can watch Ukraine battlefield videos without problem. Mhhh.

I’ve been fascinated by an idea that doesn’t have a word, so I am going to coin one:

Cryptopistemology

A mashup of crypto- (hidden) and epistemology (the study of knowledge),

There is lots of hidden knowledge encoded in our world that is not easily accessible, due to taboo or simply because it is understudied.

I grew up on the internet thinking all of the world’s knowledge is on there to learn. I quickly realized how wrong this was.

A good example is street smarts. You can’t really pick this up in a book or from YouTube videos. Some knowledge can only be gained through experience on the ground, immersed in the complexity of life.
