I also use Arctic fans, and they’re by far the quietest, best-performing fans I’ve ever used. Equivalent Noctua fans are like 4-8 times more expensive, so unless they can also give handies or something, I can’t imagine them actually being worth the price.

All the hassle and risk of running a complicated custom loop plus all the noise of a fan based cooler?! Sign me up!

I feel like apartments solve all these problems, with the added benefit that you can use part of the building’s footprint or underground space for parking and commercial space

I’ve never had more audio issues than when my work laptop upgraded itself to Windows 11, it’s insanity

TPMs would be cooler if they weren’t proprietary. I understand the benefits of having a place to store sensitive things in a way that they never have to touch disk, but having those chips be controlled in a proprietary fashion by some tech megacorp is not ideal.

LLMs can’t just run chromium unless they’re tool aware and have an agent running alongside them to facilitate tool use. I highly suspect that AI web crawlers aren’t that sophisticated.

Lol no, the most writing I do is comments on Lemmy

One of the first things I did at my first full time job (while my very under prepared boss was looking for “junior-dev-friendly” tasks for me to work) was go to git-scm.com and just read through all the man pages I could. I spent a few days doing that, then my boss asked me to create a PowerPoint and present what I learned to the team. It was instantly apparent that I was the only one who knew anything beyond git commit -a on the team at that point, and I was promptly appointed the “title” of “source control SME”. I’ve been heading up version control best practices for every team I’ve been on since (which is scary because the git cli has changed quite a bit since I read all those man pages but I haven’t had a chance to go back and refresh my knowledge).

A good ol’ Mormon thighsoak then
