I think there are 3D printing services that make to order.

I assume that is about hitting duplicate items. If there are 100 people selling the EXACT same dragon, hit them all and sort out the details later.

Any reason you need to encrypt the host OS information? I would assume anything interesting would be in the VM and you could probably have the VM encrypt it’s own storage.

Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.

Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don’t know if I would do much better.

To make sure there is not a misunderstanding, the wattage of a PSU is not how much power it will draw. The wattage is how much is can supply. So if you have a 1000w PSU, but all your components draw 200w of power it will use about 200w of power.

Additionally, if you plan to get a lot of HDDs in the future, do some research on power rails. Some PSUs are designed to only be able to supply a small amount of power to things like HDDs because most people only have 1 or 2.

To be fair, if our AI was as capable as his AI vibe coding would be viable.

I have used audiobook shelf to read a couple of PDF files. Seemed to work fine. I mostly use it for audio books.

Mostly, but not entirely.

Also as you get older and your nervous system degrades things are perceived as being bland. So add spicy because people will frequently choose pain over boredom.

True. This may actually be a boon to smaller devoplers who can sell games for less money because there development costs are less ambitious.

Yeah, prices will only go down if sales go down massively. And since video games are likely being used as an emotional coping mechanism, that seems unlikely.

If you have mechanical HDD you may want to get a foam lined case and anti static bags. That should be the best approach to avoid drive damage.

As for leaving things in the rack, I am concerned that road vibration could walk screws out. That would be bad.

I think you are confusing effort/reward with the issue of autonomy. You may personally find the less “rewarding” thing more enjoyable because you were empowered to make the choice.

Freedom of speech is a tool for society. All tools can be used for nefarious purposes.

Seems like still aligned on the general theme of “polite acknowledgement”.

It also makes sense if they are on calling the entire computer “the hard drive” like grandma and the fans kicked on.

Seems unlikely. Seems more likely it could be a medical expense if you have a prescription.

It’s because we are all tired and something usually hurts. The thing that hurts and the reason it hurts changes, but “something hurts” is near constant state of being.

Sounds like your just optimizing for efficiency over peak performance. That a form of “best self”.
