What item have you been using on a daily basis for the longest amount of time?

Sometimes I will use something and realize I’ve owned it forever. It’s a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never...

gruf,

impressive! got a source code link for those of curious?

Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?

Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

gruf,

i distrohopped a lot until i landed on Void, then i just stayed because it does everything i need, it’s fast, understandable, easily tweakable, and rock solid

gruf,

this is some Let’s Game It Out shit

gruf,

Amazon, Facebook (Meta), Microsoft, OpenAI are top of my list simply due to being aware of them.

though I’m sure most large tech corps have blood on their hands in some way or another, doing “well” under capitalism demands exploitation.

Pixel 4 is a good choice imo, it’s what I’m currently using. It has a Snapdragon 855 with 6GB RAM which is very speedy day-to-day. Face unlock which works even in pitch black. Camera is great, even compared to current generation phones. it’s end-of-life from Google but it’s still officially supported by LineageOS and gets lots of commits.

it has a 5.7" screen, though with it having minimal bezels most of that is height so it’s not a big wide phablet type thing.

if you already have alternatives in mind I’d ignore my advice, but otherwise you’ll probably find it difficult getting still supported devices with displays in the 3-4" range unfortunately, just the way the market seems to have gone with phone designs :/

gruf,

Firefox actually has surpassed Chrome recently in benchmarks

Any good tech sites without the fluff?

I am looking for some good tech sites that have longer articles and indepth reviews. Preferably without an obvious biased towards a particular company or brand. edit: I should have clarified what to was looking for. I would like to compile a list of lesser-known but useful websites so that I can stay current on tech news without...

gruf,

I’d loved Anandtech in the past, for how they used to be. hadn’t heard of those other numbers 2,3,4 before, thanks for posting them!

gruf,

before I read the title I legitimately thought this was a reference to his video lol

gruf,

is it just me or have these past few weeks just been one after another of announcements claiming people have given up on climate change? what gives?

gruf,

you should upload them to archive.org!

gruf,

I know that feeling… for what it’s worth from a stranger on the internet, happy birthday! 🎈
