oh damn that took me a hot minute to figure out, thanks for letting me know it was a pun.

Right. By their argument it seems like China can get fucked because what are they gonna do, kidnap him and bring him to China to face charges?

Right, and this is just waking to run updates or whatever. Imagine what running a local LLM in the same conditions might do.

best case scenario you spew a bunch of toxic shit into the already stressed atmosphere.

kek. okay tell that to all the electric vehicle owners who’ve burned to death in random car fires cause by their batteries igniting themselves. also maybe educate yourself a little and read the underwriters lab article I posted.

They do, but It’s sort of like what happens when you take a hot steak off the pan. The extrernal heat source is removed, but the steak has enough internal heat to continue cooking for a bit while it rests. Your laptop might shut down, but the whole thing being in a backpack would act as an insulator and allow it to continue heating.

“Fires on airplanes” is, in general, a BAD THING.

I was thinking more about the batteries. It’s probably not as big of a deal with such small batteries, but lithium ion batts can enter an “uncontrollable, self-heating state” called thermal runaway. https://ul.org/research-updates/what-is-thermal-runaway/

I mean… I’m almost glad they haven’t figured out the power settings. Imagine if they were all running around with the lids closed and the laptops stuffed into a backpack? It would be a fire waiting to happen.

you’re overtly sexual!

It’s an older meme, Sir, but it checks out.

I hope they bring some vibe coded, 3d-printed anti-air defense missiles with them!

she better be callin her cooch ms moopsy then (bc it be drainin them bones)

Yeah, it’s that consumer label that confuses me. Like, I doubt too many businesses are buying $54 USD Netgear WAPs, and their language specifically included SoHo stuff iirc.

I’m curious about standalone WAPs, not existing all-in-ones put into WAP mode. I’m guessing they just don’t fall under the “consumer” umbrella even though they are pretty cheap (this netgear is $54 USD on amazon)

Did anybody ever confirm if standalone wireless access points are subject to this weird FCC ban thing? Because, like, you can make your own router out of an old computer.

It’s run by Luke technically, but yeah it’s under Linus Media Group. A lot of creators I like (such as Wade from Dank Pods) are on there.

the only real alternatives to youtube for me are probably curiousity stream and floatplane, both of which cost subscriptions i can’t afford at the moment.

edit also Nebula! forgot about that one.

yeahhh thats the invidious frontend i was gonna install.
