Just this one time

Oh cool I’ve never heard but installed them from fdroid just now

And same for music. What year is this 2010?

All of them.

Well sure, but they were really good at it all

You can make 20% drops in value look harmless if you flatten the graph enough

Wait until you hear AMD is treating OEMs now as bad as Intel did on their most glorious moments.

I’ll try to buy as few computers as I can until Risc-v is main stream.

That sounds fun on mobile

A sphere shaped like a donut… I have some questions

Ooh so nothing to see here

Mechanical things suffer a lot of stress from turning on/off. But even spinning disk storage turns off automatically if desktop is idle for a certain time, it’s a balance between switch vs continuous operation, they have overlapping kinds of wear and tear.

Top of mind, you can expect 10k cycles from typical buttons and it’s hard to be less complex than a button. Because metal parts are subject to fatigue.

Flash based drives would certainly fail faster or slower depending on the number of write bytes over its life.

Then there’s erosion caused by electrons, which is my biggest suspect for the problems of last generation of Intel CPUs. You have to royally screw up to start selling something that overlooked this.

Oh dang, a cheap driver is probably $0.50 cheaper than a half decent one that can take the hit.

In Australia anything has 12 months warranty by law, this factory would bankrupt quick.

As an EE graduate I want to hear more about what dirt means and what driver can be affected by it. I’d expect power electronics to stand 100% over voltage over short periods and easy 20% long term, which would blow up lots of other things on the house before the driver or the LED starts performing worse.

LEDs can take quite a beating. The only thing that degrades then is being on, and being hot. For all purposes unless it’s inside a restaurant kitchen or they’re on, they’re not hot.

Other packaged electronic components follow the same rules. Except wires and solder that can oxidize without being used.

So no, I think that’s a grift if you can’t reach 5 years. When domestic LED lighting was in infancy we’d hear all power LEDs, like for cars, should last 10 years.

But but they don’t sell your data /s

Yeah silly it’s too valuable, they hoard it and sell services that are powered by your data.

It’s a great income stream. Google charges oems a fee for running Android. Then charges consumers a fee when they spend money on apps or buy things with Google pay. Then charges for ads using your private data, and ads are reported to be the biggest income stream overall for the company, including search on desktop.

Second step: get an apron and a giant sized toddler chair

Can someone dumb it down for me what this means for people at home? Any impact on Linux gaming?

Potatoes on edge, rice chicken and leaves in the middle

Pork can be either, it just overheats and cools quickly, if it’s great enough it’s not going to dry. Otherwise do like chicken.

Lasagna: slice it and make a ring

If it’s a dish that’s all homogeneous like fried rice, make a donut

So you’re saying it’s not ok to let people do informed decisions? Or are you saying that the city that charges less wants also to sell less?

But is it worth anything if you add data value and subtract running costs??🤔
