You can’t run it on a Mediatek or a Rokchip or whatever?

Even Stanley at least had a computer. And optionally a bucket.

You know what? I’m not even arguing with you people anymore. You don’t get it; I can’t help you with that.

I suspect that would result in a lot of sharpened knives.

The backplane is the rather popular 3D printable Honeycomb Wall system. The angled divider trays are my own design which is compatible with the same.

Guess.

But the big question is, will the new lights be street legal in the US or will the DOT fuck us once again because they’re still stuck in 1973?

When I was in primary school approximately in the early Devonian period, it was considered the height of cutting wit to insult somebody by calling them “gay.”

In the intervening decades throughout which society has somehow (possibly briefly, current events taken into consideration) become a bit more tolerant, nowadays it seems you have about a one in six chance of whoever you just called gay responding with, “Okay, and?”

There were decades of development of touch screen devices with UI paradigms designed explicitly for touch. Notwithstanding all of the Palm and Symbian and Windows CE devices, I feel like I shouldn’t have to point out that the Nintendo DS came out in 2004, three years before the iPhone.

It’s just that these were resistive screens and stylus based…

Except for the LG Prada.

It’s not a Fediverse thing or a reddit thing or even an Internet thing. It’s a human nature thing. Positions of petty authority inherently attract individuals with that particular stripe of insanity.

I’ve been hanging around online since before the Internet was even readily available to the general public, and we’ve been having the exact same conversation over insane moderatorship, or insane sysops, or insane admins since day one. We continue to do so. We will continue to do so forever.

Newsgroups, bulletin boards, forums, and threaded comment chain platforms come and go, rise and fall, ebb and flow. Users show up, users get frustrated and leave, users all pile on somewhere else and the same old song and dance starts all over again.

I moderate four communities here, two of which are quiet and two of which are functionally dead. Thus far I’m pretty sure I’m not insane.

Yet.

A telling thing is that apparently Youtube’s algorithm knows that these videos are AI slop. I suspect this because at the outset I was aggressively disrecommending any of these that Youtube suggested to me, and basically nothing like them shows up in my feed anymore. Every once in a while one still slips through, usually some manner of synthetic music thing, and I hit the ol’ three dots and choose “not interested” and then “don’t recommend this channel” and I never see it again.

What’s much more concerning is that the average user (i.e. non tech people, i.e. practically everybody) is being handed this shit by default and in my lifetime of experience of people already being widely unable to distinguish truth from blatant manipulative fantasy, the prevalence of false/misleading/nonsense/fabricated AI bullshit being constantly peddled inches from their eyeballs is absolutely eroding peoples’ already limited ability to think.

Obviously, just play your Wii exclusively on your massive retro 39" CRT television, the one with front glass that’s like 4" thick.

In my household, the TV breaks your controller. Not the other way around.

Part of the problem there is I have guys just absolutely insist at me that a microwave “can’t” be vented outside so they don’t bother to install a duct, and tell me that in order to vent outside you “have” to get a hood instead. This is obviously bogus.

This also leads to the inevitable Contractor Special where a duct was there, often when the user is replacing an old hood with a microwave, but the installer just shrugs and slaps the microwave on the wall as-is where A) it is inevitably too tall and now way too close to the stovetop, and B) covering the duct outlet while still recirculating back into the room. Whenever I unearth one of these in my travels it makes me want to track down whoever the hell installed it and then punch them so hard they come clean out of their socks.

People are for some reason hyperfixated on getting appliances off of their countertops, which is why the over-the-range microwaves became so prevalent in the first place. (And then they all immediately filled the spot where their countertop microwave used to be with a countertop air fryer instead, but that’s a whole different discussion.)

Through an activated charcoal filter and right back into your face.

This is depressingly common and functionally accomplishes just about as much as you expect it does.

For what it’s worth I have an induction stove and if I put my steel wok on it empty I can made the bottom third of it glow red hot within about 10 seconds of powering it on.

Gas is absolutely not necessary for this, but there is a grain of truth to the fact that outside of induction stovetops, practically all radiant electric stoves do indeed suck ass.

It’s a failure to read the manual thing. Every OTR microwave ever manufactured functions as a hood by definition, and basically all of them (I can only think of like two exceptions) have the option to be configured for either recirculation or to duct outside. It’s just that most models come out of the box already configured for recirculation and most people ('s contractors) are so averse to reading that they fail to realize you can flip the blower motor over and thus cause it to actually accomplish something (provided a duct is in place) rather than just blowing stale air back in your face.

If you think you can’t afford an induction range, you also can’t afford to hire contractors to have your new ductwork put in and/or unborked.

Much as I hate to recommend Frigidaire for various reasons, the FCFI3083AS is I think the most economical freestanding 30" induction range on the market at the moment and has an MSRP of $1099. You can probably score one from some discount or independent appliance retailers (i.e. not Home Depot, Lowes, or Best Buy) for a little under a thousand.
