That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

  • The price is only worth it if you want a phone that stands out and is unique.

    Otherwise it’s simply too expensive for what it is.

    Smartphones are a mature market and outside of “status symbol” and brand considerations, it honestly makes no sense for the vast majority of people to spend more than USD $400 equivalent on a smartphone.

    Even camera quality is increasingly becoming good enough on mid-range devices.



  • Finally, there’s virtually no infrastructure for hydrogen road vehicles to refuel.

    I would argue this is by far the biggest issue with hydrogen fuel. Other drawbacks could arguably be addressed with scale and additional work.

    It’s just that hydrogen actually kinda sucks as a fuel, and automaker Stellantis announced today that it is ending the development of its light-, medium- and heavy-duty FCEVs, which were meant to go into production later this year.

    Meant to go in production later this year? I doubt anyone at Stellantis believed this.



















  • On the CPU side, they’ve had an excellent execution, even before Intel started to lag in and around ~2020 or so.

    I was building a PC in mid 2018 and I went with a Ryzen 7 2700. Sure ST was lagging behind intel, but you got decent ST performance and an 8 core CPU for the equivalent of $330 USD or so.

    At the time, on the intel side a comparable SKU would be the i7-8700K, but that was equivalent to over $400, with moderate ST uplift and only 6 cores. From what I remember, motherboards were also more expensive for Intel at that point.

    On the GPU side, I think the first time AMD has stopped screwing up was with the 9060/9070 series. Thus are compelling SKUs relative to Nvidia’s 60 and 70 series of GPUs.





  • Keep in mind this is an extremely shit source, they are basically a lite version of tankies.

    Try searching for “Russia” on their site and you’ll find a 1:1 copy of standard russian propaganda copytext (justification for the invasion of Ukraine, claiming Ukraine organized a genocide in Donbas, white washing russian crimes).

    If they can’t be consistent, it is likely their concern Gaza about is a ruse, as is extremely common among western “leftists”.

    And the roaches that manage this site likely don’t speak Ukrainian or russian and have never lived in Ukraine or russia.
