It was shot with a Canon EOS M200 and is 100% real.

Once a user came into our office on the verge of tears. Her notebook wouldn’t boot and she thought that meant her thesis was lost.

Didn’t make a backup either.

But luckily it was the mainboard that quit and not the SSD. So we were able to decrypt it and get her up and running again. After we told her to make a backup next time, she was so happy that she wanted to give us money. We refused.

Come next day, she stormed in, without saying a word. Just threw a pile of candy and a handful of soft drinks on our table and ran off before we could do anything about it.

Fuck you, boss. That’s our candy now.

Why are you not gay?!!!

It puts the update on its skin.

I’ve only used an LLM (you can guess which one) once to write code. Mostly because I didn’t feel like writing down some numbers and making a little drawing for myself to solve the problem.

And because a friend insisted that it writes code just fine.

But it didn’t. It confidently didn’t. Instead, it made up something weird and kept telling me that it had now “fixed” the problem, when in reality it was trying random fixes that were related to the error message but had nothing to do with the actual core problem. It just guessed and prayed.

In the end, I solved the problem in 10 minutes with a small scribble and a pen. And most of the time was spend drawing small boxes, because my solution relied on a coordinate system, I needed to visualize.

These two are cool tho’.

If you are non-german or OOTL: One refuses to bite a demonstrator (who is protesting against Nazis) even though he is literally shoved into one, and the other one just bites another cop.

I’m still amazed that people just accept this.

What happens, if you are ill for a longer? You can’t just work ethic an illness away.

And it’s also stupid from the company’s perspective. If someone has the flu and you have them come in - well - everyone will be sick and everyones performance will suffer.

Who thought this is acceptable, let alone a good idea?

I have “the aura”. And although I don’t know what that means, I’ve started asking anyone who asks me if I’m actually gay, what leads them to that assumption.

The current top picks are:

I look put together, I care about hygene, I clean my home, I’m usually friendly, I look happy.

Like… their assumption is correct. But when did caring for oneself become a sign of the big gay? What are straight people doing?!

If you have south or west facing windows:

Metallized privacy films have made a big difference in my home. For heat protection, they should be the weather resistant kind and applied to the outside of the window. (They should be removable without leaving any residue)

If you want to try this method out first: Stick a few space blankets in front of the windows. Looks like shit, but it’s a cheap way to test whether this method might work for you.

Why is everyone in this thread Richard Byrd?

Most people I know wear t-shirts at home in winter and heat up the house to compensate, wasting energy. This meme is clearly aimed at them.

If you live in arctic conditions, then you probably already wear more than a shirt, even at home. If not, then feel adressed as well.

And to the many people who are currently raising their babies at home: Scandinavian practices be damned. I understand that it’s not too practical to regularly wrap up your baby so that they can withstand freezing conditions. Fine. Turn up the damn thermostat. You already have a screaming infant at your hands.

Everyone else: stfu.

Man. Last time I just wanted to check if my new laptop was working properly, so I booted up it’s preinstalled Windows. I literally had to look up how to get Windows to get me into Explorer without creating an account or connecting it to my network.

It took me about 25 minutes and Windows was already installed on the damn thing.

It took 15 minutes from booting a prepared Fedora stick to logging in.

I honestly believe that, by now, Linux is no more difficult than Windows. People are just not used to the differences.

For programmers: Air fryers have perfected the race to idle.

For everyone else: Probably, but the insulation may not matter as much. Heating up a traditional oven takes anywhere from 15 to maybe 5 minutes, if you got a really powerful one. During that time heat escapes the device.

Meanwhile air fryers usually heat up in about a minute and get the actual cooking done faster.

So unless you are broiling something for a really long time, air fryers may still come out on top, just because they get done quicker, saving energy in the process.

Oven pizza is a 22 minute job. My air fryer is done after 9.

There’s also something about air volume and thermal mass, but you get the point.

It just realized that, as a furry, I really don’t like furry men, only furry men.

What the hell.

1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. To heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal. And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

I’ve posted this before on my mastodon, and on feddit.de, before the instance was shut down, but I think it’s still a nice showcase how SI units interact with one another.

The worst thing we have in the metric system is kWh/1000h. It’s just watts, but whoever designed the energy labels thought a bunch of zeros would be funny or something.

May I interest you in a 4-hour lecture on the figs, kumquats, cherimoyas and jungle cacti I grow in my living room, followed by a 2-hour tirade on certain web frameworks?

I don’t see data backing up your claim […]

Links a list where the three top spots substantiate the claim, followed by a comparatively large 8% drop.

To add a bit of nuance: There are definitely exceptions to the claim. But if I had to make a blanket statement, it would absolutely be in favor of AMD.
