Since we went to WFH, I can watch porn all day on my personal computer while pretending to work on my work computer!
Laptop class rules! Suck it Musky!
45% price drop! Makes me wonder what’s wrong with it.
I can’t open that link on my phone for some reason. I can see the specs in the url though. How much are they asking for it?
799$, USD I think since its the “.com” website and not “.ca”
Says its 600$ off.
Good deal I guess.

Yeah, wow that’s cheap.

Years ago I bought a samsung tablet that had a price drop like that only to find out a few months latter that Windows 8 was being upgraded and the thing became a brick when windows 10 was forced on everyone.
This makes me very suspicious.

Yeah, my 4070TI cost me about 1200$CAN by itself lol.
I don’t know shit about AMD processors though so i don’t know if that’s a good one.
512G SSD will also fill up pretty fast nowadays.
Still better than Zepp’s nintendo.

If anyone here does web dev with vuejs, react etc and you want a really light weight framework for personal or throwaway projects:
I keep coming back to a combination of mithril.js and tailwind css. I don’t think it’s possible to build modern web apps with less code. I haven’t worked out a lightweight state solution (vuex, redux etc) but I usually get away without one for small projects anyway.

@Hog So is my web project done yet cheap third world labor?

I negotiated with a guy briefly last year who kind of implied that because I was living where I do, I should charge third world rates. I told him that wasn’t going to fly. Dude would have charged me out at 3 times that rate and put the difference in his pocket.

Damn that was my plan too. That actually happens here too quite a bit with Indians looking to get a green card. They work for other Indians in contract service companies and apparently there needs to be some chain of service companies involved to get around some immigration requirements. I can’t remember the details but one Indian consultant was telling me about it. Anyway the workers get paid shit and charge at slightly below market rates and pocket the difference and the workers put up with it to get their papers.

Interesting. So if the EU doesn’t want us to have dossiers on all the commies over there, wonder if that will lead to split markets for platforms or whether the platforms will just locate and wall off their data transfers in the EU? The latter seems more likely but further regulation could impact their business model such that it’s not worth serving the EU?
Facebook data transfers declared illegal
Meta ordered to shut down US data transfers for Facebook and fined €1.2 billion for GDPR violations. The decision impacts European data transfer cases and might lead to a Facebook blackout in Europe.

the much dreaded Facebook blackout
Seriously?
Maybe it’s just my friends but Facebook seems dead these days.

Same, though some are still posting. Fortunately I don’t have much politics or “look how wonderful my life is” people on my feed. But I don’t really look at it as much anymore, especially since 90% of the posts are that recommended shit to try to get me engaged. I am less engaged because of that shit because I can’t find the posts from my friends that I want to see.

It is. I think the only thing it’s used for is interest groups and marketplace

So much this. It used to be worth wading through the relatives who post a dozen times a day to find the post by someone I hadn’t heard from in a long while. Now it’s just as likely the algorithm has decided to never show me that post no matter how many of their unrequested videos and memes I have to scroll through.
-
@Hog and what’s worse is they are ruining this place too when all the unrequested memes get moved here by Tazz and Jam!

@Gators1 the world is a meme

At least pick the good memes.
