When Microsoft forced the grouped windows in windows 11 I was crazy. Luckily some hobbyists in their spare time fixed what the multibillion corporation with hundreds of thousands of engineers was unable to do in over two years (explorerpatcher)

Well for me it’s the opposite. I set once my settings with the domain group policy a decade ago and in every single windows PC that I own I have the perfect settings from the out of the box experience as soon as the first login

And no need to set 30 key remaps with karabiner

I used whisper to create subs of a video and in a section with instrumental relaxing music it filled on repeat with

La scuola del Dr. Paret è una tecnologia di ipnosi non verbale che si utilizza per risultati di un’ipnosi non verbale

Clearly stolen from this Dr paret YouTube channels where he’s selling hypnosis lessons in Italian. Probably in one or multiple videos he had subs stating this over the same relaxing instrumental music that I used and the model assumed the sound corresponded to that text

For me an os needs to do basic stuff by default, not by adding a billion 3rd party apps that inevitably break the next os update because they were using undocumented apis

Clipboard history, window snapping, showing a separate icon for every instance of a window (same app in 3 windows makes 3 icons on the taskbar), preview what that window is by hovering that.

Sure, you can do that with (mostly paid) third party apps, but I don’t like wasting 3 days on setting an operating system in an usable state

Same for me. I can’t stand the weird keyboard combinations and I totally hate that I need to watch a 1 second eyecandy animation when I put a window in full screen.

Copium needs to justify spending $800 for 2tb of SSD or $400 for 8 GB of ram like if we still were in the early 2010s

And Christmas accentuates the problem as we collectively decided that we need to spend a paycheck in useless stuff to gift each other

But they’re going to get paid when the budget is approved again, right?

It’s a problem for who lives paycheck to paycheck, though

To be honest I always hated them as a kid

C’è uno nel mio palazzo che ha comprato una Harley Davidson. Ogni mattina si alza mezz’ora prima e accende il motore nei garage “per farlo andare a temperatura”. E ogni sera è costretto ad attendere mezz’ora al freddo prima di spegnerlo “per farlo scendere di temperatura”

Un incubo per i nostri timpani ma soprattutto per lui, poveretto ogni giorno sprecare 1 ora di vita per stare dietro a questo motore che apparentemente è delicatissimo come fosse un prototipo del 1900 che si rompe solo a guardarlo storto.

Oppure è solo testadicazzaggine e nella sua mente non sta facendo una figura da FdP ma, come un pettirosso impettito, fa sentire a tutti che aveva 20mila euro da buttare

È come Mediaset si libera delle critiche.

Hanno rimosso due video che avevo postato su YouTube. E non erano semplici rip da televisione, ma ero io, che dicevo la mia opinione, con un estratto Mediaset di pochi secondi. Niente violazione di copyright

Il primo era un “giornalista” di studio aperto che andava a chiedere a un genitore cosa provava dopo aver scoperto che sua figlia era stata violentata e uccisa

Il secondo era un assurdo “servizio” di studio aperto dove ingannando i genitori il “giornalista” era entrato nella cameretta di una bambina violentata da un gruppo di coetanei e iniziava a tirare conclusioni ultrasconclusionate tipo:

nei disegni si vede la violenza alla quale è stata sottoposta negli anni, guardate, qua ha disegnato un lupo pauroso e qui addirittura ha scritto “branco 💕”

Mostrando un disegno dei lupetti scout…

“you just need to marry someone that owns some emerald mines and skip some nights out”

A press conference with aliens? I don’t think so. They’ll be killed and get a very detailed autopsy as soon as they put their feet on the ground

Of course it’s possible to own more than 6 assault rifles, right?

The guy sitting between Putin and mbs is the president of FIFA

Can you do a transfer without mining a block?

No, it needs to be included in any freshly mined block.

Can you include an unlimited amount of transactions in a block to minimize the wasted energy?

No, it’s hardcoded to around 1 mb and since the average is 300 bytes, that translates to ~3000

Can you mine a Bitcoin without wasting an immense amount of energy?

No.

So, by math, you take that immense amount of energy and divide by ~3000 transactions.

You can’t just take in consideration the 3 watts used by your computer in the 300 milliseconds used to submit the transfer, need to consider the whole network

I would be happy to learn if it’s possible to transfer them without including the transaction in a block, that would be groundbreaking and then the electricity used would be 10000x less

Staged for free advertising? It makes no sense for someone to attack a nobody, that “Enron CEO” is a title that has been given by himself.

please explain how to transfer bitcoin without mining a block, since the transactions are contained there.

You need to take the energy required to mine a block and validate it (a lot, could power a small town), then divide for the few transactions that could be included in just 1 mb.

They impose a size limit on the transactions that can be included, so even if tomorrow the transactions increase 10x, each block could contain the same limited number. Of course, if you only count the electricity used by your machine to send the transaction, it’s just a few milliwatts. The problem is all the garbage calculations that need to be done to actually validate it.

I always make fun of this with the coworker that I’m training.
