You could hire twelve senior engineers in Europe for that kinda money

The ironic thing is that there are no known cases of popcorn lung associated with vaping. The condition happens if you inhale high concentrations of diacetyl (the butter flavoring in popcorn) over a long period of time. So it has been preemptively outlawed as an additive to vapes in most countries for quite some time.
The only actually known case where vaping has caused lasting and terrible damage was when black market THC vapes were adulterated with Vitamin D in California some years ago, which is highly toxic when inhaled. It had gone through the media to show the dangers of vaping in general, even though that would be like saying cigarettes should be outlawed because people got harmed from gas station spice

Hmm, the link to the study in the article doesn’t work, so I can’t read it (or check who paid for it), but it sounds like it only says that there’s a chance it might cause lung cancer, it doesn’t say the rate. Also:

“We’ve always assumed that vapes are safer than cigarettes, but you know, what we’re showing is that they might not be safe after all. We have no conclusive way in which to get people off the vapes.

“So in smoking, we’ve got ways in nicotine gum, various drugs that we can give people to stop them from smoking. The evidence regarding people stopping vaping is very inconclusive.”

But nicotine gums and the like also work for vaping, it’s still nicotine in the end

I just ate a whole chocolate bar after eating a big bowl of pasta…

I have the original PinePhone lying around, it was honestly already a piece of crap when it came out. Laggy to all hell for me with horrible battery life. Maybe it’s gotten better since then, but I can’t recommend it

Back when the first SD Card adapter for the PS Vita was released it only came with some CAD files. So I ordered like a hundred PCBs from a Chinese manufacturer, alongside the MicroSD slots, soldered them at home and sold them for five bucks a pop on eBay. Cost me less than one buck per piece in parts. I didn’t make a lot, but it was some nice money for a broke student

Shagged or stabbed?

Reminds me of Anthropics AI store experiment

Over 60% of all private bankruptcies in the US are due to medical issues. The system is broken

You can still run Illumos/OpenIndiana, driver support will be spotty though

Technically. The constipation would probably balance out the weight loss though

Yeah, they have already done this with other extensions like Python, this is not new behavior.
Honestly the biggest reason to stay away from VS Code

Remember: The Nazis never officially abolished the democratic Weimar constitution. They just hollowed it out until it was completely ineffectual

Not anymore at least

If we’re also talking old computers then it’s hard to beat the Cray-1

Yeah, it is for sewing, got it at home just for that. It’s to clamp down the fabric’s edge for sewing it cleanly

Yeah, had to use a Moto G34 5G for the last few weeks, it’s insane how Android is killing apps left and right with “just” 4GB of RAM. Have apps really gotten that much less efficient?

In my home server my Seagates have been dying one after another, I have replaced each failed one with a Toshiba and they have been rock solid so far
