At that level (of age), choices come into play.

The usual paradigm for dev estimates is double the number, bump the units.

1 hour -> 2 days.

servicing your own car or modifying the exhaust on your motorcycle (teenagers here didn’t have cars in the first place, actually)

Today’s equivalent is building your own ebike, and it’s awesome and way easier than rebuilding an engine.

or as it goes,

mice lie and monkeys exaggerate

It seems likely that simulated testing (in a computer) will be mature by 2050, it’s under development now.

It’s PCIe 4.0 :(

Boo! Silly me thinking DDR5 implied PCIe5, what a shame.

Feels like they’re testing the waters with Halo, hopefully a loud ‘waters great, dive in’ signal gets through and we get something a bit fitter for desktop use, maybe with more memory (and bandwidth) next gen. Still, gotta love the power usage, makes for one hell of a NAS / AI inference server (and inference isn’t that fussy about PCIe bandwidth, hell eGPU works fine as long as the model / expert fits in VRAM.

Pretty sure that’s a x4 PCIe slot (admittedly PCIe 5x4, but not many video cards speak PCIe5), would totally trade a usb4 for a x8, but these laptop chips are pretty constrained lanes wise.

Historically unpaid commute originated before urban sprawl, car culture and a massive spike in population, it’s been grandfathered in, but it’s absolutely theft in the current environment, whether the job can be done at home or not. Posit 1 hr commute either way, that’s 10hrs a week, and should probably get hazard loading as well. When unpaid commute originated it was more like 10-15 minutes walk per day.

One of the most significant and efficient policy changes to combat CO2 and other pollutants would be to legislate paid commuting (with just protection against discrimination for both employee and employer). Just watch every employer WFH everyone who can be, not to mention improved quality of life, local services and being hugely popular. Expect one hell of a fight.

Eh, I’ve been using a couple (a local exit for targeted searches and a remote one for general usage) of gluetun containers for ages. Hook apps to the proxy server or tun (and containers to the relevant network). Does the same, more versatile, likely more secure, lot of eyes on gluetun. FoxyProxy lets me set rules based choices in firefox, or manually override in a couple clicks. Still, good for them and the untechnical, I guess.

You seem to be assuming that the volume is immediately replaced by the external atmosphere, which I doubt is valid, more likely that the volume of the person would decrease, at least temporarily. The weight of 1 Liter (assuming a massive fart) of air is 1.275g according to wolfram, so, using your density numbers above, 1.275 * 1.06/1.2 = 1.126g lighter. Measurable with a really good scale, if the 90ml fart volume is realistic (has to be more realistic I guess), that’s ~.1g,

Think of yourself as a hot air balloon with a very tiny chamber, and when you release a 90 milliliter fart, you lose a little buoyancy and sink a little. You get heavier when you fart.

No, you get denser, but not heavier.

Flip up ones, as long as you’re not vain (which you aren’t with clipons anyway), solve this problem nicely. Go for polarized, oleophobic too…
