The price of a mini pc includes the price of the case, power supply, heat sinks, fans and such. The hdmi is the only thing suspect but if the case doesn’t expose the hdmi port that will be in the minipc as well. when you compare just the board of a pi to a full pc that is unfair.

Technology@lemmy.world•Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live on stage during hacker conference
246·1 day agoMy guess is they started the site in the first place.
A pound is the same for both. The oz measure is what was different. Thus an oz of metal is heavier than an oz of feathres. However a pound of both weights the same.
Bambu has great marketing: they have given printers to a lot of well known makers who in turn now feature them on their YouTube and the like. If you just want a printer that prints standard stuff with standard work flows they are probably good. However they are in the long run likely to be expensive since they require their supplies (which are reportedly good, but expensive). If you want to print something and not think about the printer they are good enough. However if you want to hack a printer, save money, or experiment they are going to limit you.
Everyone recommends Prusa for a reason: most of the things that make printing good and easy were developed by Prusa and then the others used the open source license to put their own name on it. Some of the others have done some innovation, but the major hard work was done by Prusa and he should be supported for that.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.
35·5 days agoSome people care. Those who don’t should just respect them by always leaving it down. Understanding isn’t asked for, just respect
For now. Those used cars are rusting and otherwise wearing out.
The third parties would win sueing car makers for requiring the radio for diagnostics. anti-monopoly and warranty laws protect moding you car.
In the us laws from the 1970’s protect third party radios.
If it doesn’t affect emissions those mod chips will not violate your warrantee - magnuson-moss was writen decades ago to protect replacing your factory radio. There are a number of other laws around third party access to car diagnostics.
The other option is a scroll. historicaly I’m told a book was always a scroll and the factor we now call a book was a codex. (I don’t know how to verify this)

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Do rich people in landlocked countries have yachts?
5·14 days agoeven if their country has a port that doesn’t mean they keep their yacht there. better to fly to a Carribian island where the weather is nice than keep it near home and spend all that time sailing to where you want to be - boats are typically so slow that they would need to leave before they get there. If you want the yacht is some port you have the crew move it there and then you fly to it.
Those are the easy way. You have to hide the excess hoses since you can’t cut to fit. They cost a lot more though to if you don’t mind the work you can save money getting the other kind (which requires an EPA certification - easy to get I’m told)

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Jane Goodall Earth medal to recognise people working to improve the world
3·16 days agoI wonder how/if she would agree with any of the awards given in her name.
Rose colored glasses. I got married in my late 30s and while there are things i don’t like I won’t go back. There was too much lonelyness

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you had to replace the floppy disk save symbol in software with a new symbol for saving what would you choose and why?
1·18 days agodepends - the capactiy changed over the years. My floppies were 90k, while 8 inch at the time was a full megabyte. 5.25 floppies did reach 1.2 megabytes on other systems but they were never available to me - even if I could afford it the drives were never compatible with my atari while the 8 inch drives were (with adapters I only ever saw in magazines)

5·18 days ago5.25 inch floppy as homage to my childhood. Or maybe 8 inch - but while I lusted after that much space I never used one.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: The Lethal Danger Of Combining Welding And Brake Cleaner
21·20 days agoWire and rust embedded in your skin is not good. In the eye is worse - I know of people who were wearing both a face shield and full safety glasses who got grinding dust in their eyes.
I don’t have a good answer to the problem, nobody else likes any of their answers either from what I can tell.
I combined Mexican and Indian traditions there in ways that I doubt either would be willing to claim as their own. Which makes this an American dish I guess. Whatever, it is good and you should try it.
Curried refrieed. I normally ‘cheat’ with cans. Adjust for what you have.
a bit of oil/butter, cook a couple garlic cloves. Then throw some whole mustard seed in until they start to pop, some toast some whole cumin, then corriander until it snells good. I didn’t use termeric last tine but that goes well too. Then add pinto beans, until warm and snash.
lentils do well too.
note that I didn’t give amounts. I have done this so often that I can follow the dump the right anount in plan.





I would by from system76 or framework - dedicated linux companies that will ensure things work.
