He better watch his back
  • I understand from a first person account and a few third person accounts that he's a bit of an asshole IRL. I suspect she wouldn't tolerate that from him.

    Gen Z is bringing back landline phones because they think they look ‘cool’: ‘I love to twirl the cord’
  • The article doesn't offer a single statistic suggesting there is a resurgence of landlines, much less that Gen Z folks are responsible for it. It's basically just a fiction piece.

    Bridge collapsing on itself domino like
  • At the beginning the crowd was scared, but then by the end they were disappointed the last segment didn't fall. It was like Stockholm Syndrome in 30 seconds. What an emotional rollercoaster!

    Why do YOU homelab?
  • As someone who doesn't work in tech, I mainly homelab as a way to learn about different technologies for fun. But I also like that I can invest in and control my own data, and don't have to risk that my data will be inaccessible because a company goes under or changes their business model.

    Superconductor Breakthrough Findings Replicated, Twice, in Preliminary Testing - Tom's Hardware
  • If you want to see all the conflicting findings and by-the-minute updates, this post is great: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/claims-of-room-temperature-and-ambient-pressure-superconductor.1106083/page-11?post=94266395

    I'm very much not an expert, but my read of this is: most replication efforts have mostly failed when it comes to making a working room temp superconductor (meaning conducts electricity with no resistance). However, groups are increasingly seeing some of the other characteristics expected from superconductors, and it appears that the failures might just be caused by using an unrefined technique.

    So time will tell, but this is probably a big advance, but not itself a world changer just yet.

    Parents Upset Over New Nintendo Console - Super Nintendo - Circa 1991
  • There are several places where the reporters don't use what would today be typical words for things. I guess at that time the general public wouldn't have understood words like "graphics" or "platform"?

    Let's talk about something else
  • I second this. I'm a casual Linux user for hosting personal things at home. I'm not a tech professional. I use Ubuntu because I typically don't know how to do things on my own, so I need to be able to find guides.
