Where there a will to enshittify, there’s a way.

They could weave dependencies in such a manner as to prevent other critical stuff from running without it, or straight up build it into something that would prevent the system from running properly if you remove it.

Of course, they’d lose the vast majority of their userbase, but short term profit line must go up according to the idiots with MBAs.

Edit: fixed a typo

Par for the course with ai slop

Yes, it’s fuckin yummy

I think it has more to do with expanded computing resources allowing for devs to skip optimizing their code since it is no longer absolutely necessary to get something useable.

And yet, it doesn’t. Show some real data.

A single anecdote hardly makes a compelling argument.

It’s only a layer line if it’s parallel to the bed, otherwise it’s just sparkling print artefacts.

Machine screws / bolts with a # sign are sized by gauge, not the major diameter of the screw. The gauge system for screws is weird and dumb, but we still use it for small stuff.

Per fastener direct, gauge can be converted to diameter using the following formula:

Diameter (inches) = 0.060 + (Gauge number × 0.013)

A #6 machine screw has a 9/64" or 0.138" (approx 3.6mm for our metric friends) major diameter and is offered in standard pitches of 32, 40, 48, and 80 threads per inch (At least, that’s what McMaster Carr stocks. The 80tpi is likely for a specialty application.).

I’m fairly certain that the unified screw spec stops around 3 or 4" , so 6" is well into custom/non-standard sizing.

Then why bother commenting?

Did the Leaf come from the factory with a 50mi range? That’s whack, I remember seeing an eGolf with like 75mi while I was car shopping last year and couldn’t believe that would work for anyone who drives any appreciable amount of time or distance.

The car I ended up with (2021 Polestar 2) has a nominal ~230mi range and that still feels pretty low compared to newer vehicles with 300+mi ranges.

That’s totally fair. It was not my intent to conflate people who aren’t willing/able to take on the burden of living their truth in a hostile society with people who just lack the ability to reflect on their situation, but I can see how you arrived there from my comment and I’m sorry to have put you in that position.

I realize this maybe reads like some slop-generated apology but I swear that isn’t the case, it’s just my formal writing tone!

There’s an unfortunately large amount of people who completely lack any ability to introspect or think critically

Yuck, who puts mustard on a gyro? I’ve only ever seen them made with the gyro meat, onions, tomatoes, and tzatziki

Hawaiian pizza was, however, invented in Canada

I don’t see how someone else changing their last name has any appreciable effect on my life. If it makes them happy, I guess I’d be happy for them?

8gb of ram shouldn’t necessarily be an issue in and of itself, although it’s on the low end these days. The memory is also old enough that it may just be failing.

Some searching suggests you could use something like Memtest86 to run diagnostics on the memory.

If it isn’t a hardware issue, you might have luck trying a Linux distro on it. Linux generally runs better on older machines than windows, and some distros are specifically designed to be lightweight and consume as few resources as possible.

Either going for food or playing board/video games together!

Maybe they should stop platforming these geriatric fucks and make space for the next generation then.

The cylinder must remain unharmed
