    I am a PC/Android user, always have been. I am a hard apple hater, I’ve tried to keep up with the new devices though, and I’ve also repaired them in the past. I hate apple mostly due to just not liking to be locked on my device (lack of customization but that has been getting better AFAIK), the fact that the phone feels boring, the overpricing, the not friendly right to repair, the stupid lightning ports (Thanks EU), the “elitist” feeling…

    But god damn are these new SOCs making me reconsider… I was already very pleasantly surprised with the Mac computers recently. I think apple silicon is just waaaay ahead at the moment. If competition doesn’t catch up somehow soon, I think apple’s monopoly will only grow.

    Also, AMD over Nvidia. Not saying it’s better, but I’ll always go team red. Just like Apple, I hate nvidia’s business practices.


  • Yeah, I’m honestly concerned since my parents’ political views changed radically the last 5~10 years or so. They were super loving and caring. Now they’re very “paranoid” about things that shouldn’t really leave them that stressed and xenophobic bordering full on racism. Overall gender related topics topics, random news on Facebook, immigrants…

    I think that, if my parents that were so understanding and caring about everything and everyone, can somehow have their opinion change drastically in 5-10 years, what’s preventing that from happening to me, or my generation, down the road? I’m not trying to say that every gen X or boomer thinks that same way though. But a lot of them have grown more “resentful” I guess…

    Yeah, computers and Internet aren’t their expertise so maybe they’re more likely to fall for fake news and clickbaity titles designed to infuriate them and generate views.

    But who knows what’s coming? Maybe there’s something else coming up that my generation will be too “boomer” to understand. Maybe we’ll fuck up everything without even noticing we’re doing it until it’s too late. Maybe I’m just being too paranoid myself.



  • I’ve read an article that they were about to get a lot more common outside of the US. Apparently they can better “tune” emissions that way and since there are heavy fines and a lot of control going forward that’s the argument they are using.

    Also apparently manual gears are more expensive to manufacture, I think. Again I read this on an article sometime ago so it could just be BS, I can’t seem to find which it was.

    Imo, they just want to greenwash this change. In reality they can save money and improve scalability and just standardize everything.

    Same. I can’t even be in the same room anymore. Somehow made gaming there feel like a chore as well…

    So bored of games, that I’ll go work on some other stuff (home servers) and just taking care of day to day life stuff. Maybe I’m just growing up, but I never thought I’d be bored of games… Ever…

    I still prefer working remotely though!

    That’s a great question… But I have no clue if its exposed or not. The thing is, apparently they fixed it in a way that it should, in theory, work out of the box.

    HomeAssistant should be running on 8123 if I’m not mistaken.

    I’ve tried [virtual adapter]:8123 (not at my PC atm, don’t know the op by heart sry) localhost:8123 and 127.0.0.1:8123
