The “CAUTION! Low Bridge” sign kills me. Something so… everyday in the middle of whatever this is.

On my parent’s it doesnt render anything at all. Just shows the wallpaper.

Roku has had a big ad on the side for a while now? I’ve been blocking it with DNS.

“Extremism”

at least it doesnt try to sell me a 12 pack of toilet seats like amazon.

fair. sorry for being a bit snippy.

did you know there are these things called search engines that let you type in literally anything and it will search the entire internet for you?

lmfao the cops charged him for not having a valid boat registration or life vests. amazing.

NOINE HUNDRED DOLLARYDOOS?

I’m not gonna listen to a PSA about a country that offers thongs and bottled water out of the same vending machine!

note for my fellow americans: thongs = flip flops.

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.
