Strangely enough, I can't use a sub-120hz phone anymore, but I have no problems using my 60hz laptop or 75hz desktop monitor. Maybe the different form factors let people compartmentalize their experiences.

Wayback didn't cache the actual binary file needed for the game to run.

Not even that. Play Forza Horizon and you'll notice how you get ADHD-inducing pings and pongs all over your screen for literally just doing basic actions in the game.

Yes, but wouldn't the fact that you intentionally set the phone up to wipe itself be enough to charge you for that? You've pretty much made a booby trap for the police.

Wouldn't that lead you to getting charged for destruction of evidence?

> I've prompted AIs to ask me questions if anything was unclear or if important information was missing and it usually doesn't

LLMs don't actually have a concept of importancy.

I never understood what the walk to car wash thing was supposed to prove. Was it supposed to be something to blow normies' minds with on social media? Woah dude, so like, chat gpt is not actually smart? That's crazy dude.

That experiment "proved" that LLMs are statistical text generators without a concept of meanings of words. Which is the same thing as "proving" that there aren't a million tiny humans inside your laptop doing the CPU's work by hand.

> Running Lineage, it's faster and more responsive, even today, than a $1000 iPhone from 2024

As someone who has both I strongly disagree with that claim, though the 3 and 3T have certainly aged well.

A sedan shaped two door coupe is even better. The B pillars are behind you so you get better visibility.

> Perhaps the biggest difference I see from millenials and gen z is that the degree in which they realize the difference between having earned the right to expressing your opinion and expressing your opinion.

This reads like the classic case of "I had it bad therefore everybody else should too"

They do need to be long but in a different way. ICE cars had longer hood/trunk overhangs, EVs have skateboard batteries with high belt lines (because the floor is thick) and very short front and rear overhangs with longer wheelbases.

I think it's the same thing as showing mechanical sympathy towards other tools and objects. I've always slightly judged people on how hard they shut doors or how gentle they are with their cars.

Surely the thermal paste will degrade at some point, right?
