merari42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Phones are handheld computers now. Why aren't laptops phones? I know you can use VoIP or tether to a phone, but why don't laptops have LTE or 5G modules and SIM card slots as a standard?1·3 months agoI had one in 2010 in Germany. Was basically a UMTS modem plus some really shitty phone software

merari42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Author of Upcoming Elon Musk Biography Says ‘There Is No Evidence’ Billionaire Has Any ‘Intellectual Achievements’122·5 months agoNa, that is just historically inaccurate. The original Macintosh team collected their stories/memoires at folklore.org, which give you a pretty good overview of his talents. He was really mercurial and Woz was the better engineer, but played a really important role in the vision/design of computers as we know them today. In the original Mac team others did the engineering and Jobs never claimed to be and engineering type of person, but he had a good feel on the importance of design, clear visual metaphors and good interaction design and pushed the team relentlessly into that direction.

Upgraded every old MacBook (2009pro, 2015 pro) I had with bigger harddrives and did small repairs with ifixit instructions. But you notice they get less repairable over time. The 2009 thing was built like a tank and you could upgrade ram, replace a broken GPU and this thing over all felt very repairable. I still works but isn’t that useful any more 16 years after release. 2015 was way less repairable.

merari42@lemmy.worldOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•To what extent do you think political violence can be justified? From a purely strategic perspective, do you believe tactics like the anarchist 'propaganda of the deed' are effective?41·5 months agot new regime. If you want peace, you have to fight peacefully. Yes it’s harder, but it’s the only way. But peaceful doesn’t mean passive (or law abiding)!
Oh sometimes, violence works to build peaceful gouvernments after. In Romania political violence created a functioning democracy. Dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu was executed by the revolutionaries after a 30 minute farce of a trial, but the country is now a democracy for more than 35 years.

From a purely strategic perspective, do you believe tactics like the anarchist 'propaganda of the deed' are effective?8·5 months agoA big part of the original propaganda of the deed was just that. Killing royals in Europe to show that power of the monarchies is limited
But now he sleeps in a racing car
That is something that some tech savy Lemmy users could already easily do. I repost stuff from all over the web. But some systematic preservation of good old subreddits aught to be automated.
merari42@lemmy.worldOPto memes@lemmy.world•The same duality might also exist outside of Eastern Europe3·6 months agoCompletely agree. Especially less good architects couldn’t deal with it’s limitations. Concrete isn’t some indestructible wonder material—exposure to harsh weather and exhaust fumes leads to cracking, corrosion, and a dreary look if it isn’t properly engineered and maintained. So many old concrete buildings look shitty
merari42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?91·6 months agoMy American friends made me drink Keystone Ice and this was one of the most disgusting things I did ever drink. The rest was also not great. A few American beers were passable but I had better ones in most European countries.

That approach should work with the tried and tested scaling laws just using much more compute.
