Can't even use it with Premium.

Yes, I have YouTube Premium. Family member has it, might as well take advantage of it.

I would've liked to have gotten one of the bulkier ones, and if I had foreseen this being an issue, I would've waited.

The T14's trackpoint created a pressure spot on my screen simply from being closed. I traveled with it only a handful of times, and when I did, I had it in a light bag with hardly anything else in it. Yes, I need a laptop carry case, but regardless, this really should not be an issue.

I've since put a felt pad between my screen and keyboard for when I close it, but that should not be something I have to do with a $1200 laptop.

Otherwise, it's been great.

It's only ridiculous because you're used to pouring your entire life into Facebook or Google's servers.

If you're disturbed by it being public, I think you should be just as disturbed by it being in the hands of data farmers and merchants.

The fact of the matter is, nothing you do online is private—and on the spectrum of "how private is it," social media, no matter what you use, is traditionally designed to be at the near zero end of it. So separate your concerns if you want any illusion of separation from your actual life.

I'm fairly certain dumbass rhetorical questions can qualify as a shower thought.

Whether it's worth posting is a different question.

If this happened near or post-interplanetary colonization, I'm reasonably confident that they'd be named after or by whichever corporation buys and takes the largest influence over the planet.

We all know Elon wants to name Mars Planet X, so let's agree now to blow it up as soon as that happens.

Earth's name would probably be left alone. I'd imagine Google going after Saturn and maybe preserving the name too, maybe giving it a little name if they hadn't blown every word in the English language on dead projects.

Microsoft, in their lack of vision, would name Mercury Microsoft (if they're still around by this point).

I remember there being something misleading about the "temperature" in pV=nRT, but yeah, I think I was getting confused because I was thinking about it purely formulaicly.

But if the pressure drops and the volume of the gas increases, in order for it to cool, that would mean the drop in pressure is much less significant than the rise in volume?

But yeah, I should've remembered that expanding gasses cool, because I know how aerosol cans work. It's time to touch up on this stuff lol.

This is my high school chemistry talking here, but don't expanding gasses heat up? Ideal gas law and everything? Is there something weird happening like the CO2 instantaneously pressurizing or something right before expanding?

And to think all those times I cursed CORS under my breath. Doing God's work.

Same (I wouldn't have paid Reddit, but I did donate to boost), but this comment was funny because "The Big R" is what my friend and I call Roblox.

Hi! Unfortunately I got sick for Christmas and had to stay home; but as I was trying to rest, it almost felt like I physically could not keep up with my mind. It felt uncomfortable to think idly, and of course there wasn't much I could do to help that. Not sure if I tried meditating, and if I did, I didn't say "I'm gonna meditate now," if you know what I mean.

I've tried looking it up and the results mostly talk about "brain fog," and while that may have been a small part of it, I wouldn't describe this experience as such.

Has anyone else had this experience? Like normal ADHD brain is exhausting and hurts while sick?

 
 

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?
