I’ve never been in a situation where I’d need to know how to do cpr. Yet I’ve learned how to do it.

i should but usually don’t :D I often end up with not having all the things I needed or too many things I don’t need

From what I’ve seen replacing the SSD really ain’t that hard. But the SD card speeds are not that bad for many lighter games.

I don’t think you know much about the steam deck haha

It is an actual computer with Linux on it, you can even install windows if you’re dumb enough to do that. You do not need a modchip to pirate or mod games on it. You do it like you would on any other Linux pc with wine.

was gonna recommend considering piracy, but since its against the rules I will respect that and recommend some of my favorite games i play on the SD and my PC instead:

• very chill relaxing game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1455840/Dorfromantik/
• one of my favorite games of all time: https://store.steampowered.com/app/548430/Deep_Rock_Galactic/ (ROCK AND STONE!)
• really good online FPS (i dont actually play this one the sd as i dont like playing it with a controller but ive met people on there that do): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2073850/THE_FINALS/
• and for lasts a non steam game: Minecraft, no not bedrock edition (i dont think that even runs on linux well) java. install the prism launcher and then with that use a modpack with the controlify mod, it has built in steamdeck support. Such a cozy experience playing MC on the Steamdeck, especially with a friend that you’re next to irl.

sounds like a great start :D one day that raspberry is gonna be your tv’s brain instead of a little server and you’ll look back with tears in your eyes and proceed to play a movie on it streaming from a huge server that cost you way more then you’d ever admit to anyone…

How exactly are you so confident in that? AI is trained on insanely large quantities of data. And of course they would try their best to hide these practices.

And even if you are right, you are still missing the fact that they can do it in the future, laws can change too if you truly believe they are following those.

The point is, a company known to not care about it’s users and only chasing profits has full unrestricted access to your data. It is foolish to believe they will never misuse it and will always follow the law.

Bill gates clearly does not care about the law, as he appears in the Epstein files many times if you need more proof.

You are still missing the point, yes that would be all true but only if you can prove that they are violating anything… Which you can’t since it is closed sourced.

Microsoft as every company like this makes money from selling your data and manipulating you.

I don’t think you understand how closed source software works. What you just said is exactly true with the only lie being that they get caught. There is no way to prove that they are doing this and that’s exactly why I’m sure that they are…

Besides, openai and many others have violated the copyright laws many times and faced no real consequences, do you really think this legal system is on your side?

I see many great suggestions here so I am only gonna add one thing to them: consider self hosting if you care about privacy and owning your own work. Something like nextcloud has all of the features of google drive/docs built in and much more and these days really isn’t that hard to expensive to setup.

you mean the one with AI baked into its core? the one from a company that does not respect yours or anyone elses privacy what so ever? yeah iam sure they will make sure they dont steal op’s work :D

i guess the only argument against this would be if you support them financially, of course with piracy being a thing its really easy not to… so yeah i dont get how people cannot separate the work from the person, i bet that most of the people downvoting you use windows which is “work” of Bill Gates, who surprise surprise is in the files. i think that matters much more then kanye being a dumb fuck on the internet and me listening to his songs from time to time without giving him any money.

Exactly. Another great example from my country is Milada Horáková who was a member of a movement against nazis and later against communists and was murdered by communists.

workstation: 8 hours, 23 minutes home(i actually have it at my work)server: 5 weeks, 4 days, 9 hours, 53 minutes

i think the idea behind tossing it wasnt that its not repairable, but that they dont want to fix it every time and the jar doesnt ever need hot water to get fixed.

does that work well with real honey that will eventually crystalize tho? (not a honey expert but it seems like the obvious advantage to a honey dipper)

“Devko, poseru ti kozy” a reference to a start of a czech song :D
