I ended up at the same. Desktop PC with a lotta hard drives in it and big fans that don’t have to spin fast and make a lot of noise.
Bonus points that it’s consumer desktop hardware and not server grade shit so if something needs replacing there’s usually a cheap replacement available.
Then living a good life and never thinking of them again.
I don’t think I could work with Navi’s attention seeking behaviours.
Did you write an app or is it running via a Claude routine?
Lmao thanks. It was even still sitting in my clipboard!
You have answers already, but here’s a page with a good rundown and a photo that matches yours nicely.

Operating systems are niche nerd stuff. Your average iPhone user doesn’t know what iOS is. Most Android users don’t know they’re Android users - “I have a Samsung” or, worse, “this is my iPhone” (it clearly is not).
The market for alternative mobile OSes is basically software developers and tech/privacy nerds. It’s not an enormous market and it’s full of customers that see through the usual profit-generating enshittification that plays well in the mass market. There’s not that many of us and we’re fickle bitches.
I would take Elon Musk’s estimate and slap a 0 on the end.
That shit would not fly at my local Costco. I stopped for the first time on a weekday morning and it was a bloodbath of efficient cart movement. I almost died because I was too slow grabbing a bag of sugar and putting it in my cart in a fluid motion.
Bless those people, though they scare me.
Now the motherfuckers that show up later in the day after they start handing out free samples, on the other hand…
Second hand information, but I’ve heard that it’s much more common in Europe for women to stay on birth control pills “permanently”, whereas in North America there is always a week of placebo pills to allow the period to happen. There’s apparently no strong evidence why a period “has” to happen, but that’s the guidelines. 🤷♂️
My company was using token burn as an AI adoption metric, but they’ve started clawing that back in search of better metrics.
After a bunch of people all blew through $2000 of tokens over a weekend building “something”, leadership cooled their heels and is pivoting to trying to use AI more intelligently.
And yet we can still measure productivity by how fast it takes to get a feature deployed and we can measure customer satisfaction… I still don’t understand why that’s insufficient. If adding AI made the line go up, then it is a benefit. If line not go up, why buy AI?
Instead it seems like a lot of companies are just looking for new magic numbers to chase in order to justify their predetermined conclusions.
Hello fellow X-COM player.
Rinse/scrape off the big chunks. And fucking corn. Then in it goes.
Exception: if you’re a small household and don’t run the dishwasher every day or two, rinse more so the dishwasher won’t stink as much before you run it.
Sadly, it still has to ship with a timer app.
But how many football fields is that?
Are they wearing helmets?
I think it’s fine. A 22 year old hanging out with 12 year olds is weird. A 42 year old hanging out with 32 year olds is nothing.
I guess there’s some cutoff point where it starts getting icky. Someone should write an equation.
The logic was “these companies ate the cost” and when confronted with the fact that prices went up and the costs had been passed on to consumers, the clarification they provided was “nuh uh”.
Maybe if the photo “matters” but generally no.
Bonus that iOS detects that and tells you to wipe your lens if you’re trying to take a photo with a filthy phone.
Ren and Stimpy had some pretty fucked up animation.
