"It's more performant than the old SODIMM sticks, vastly more efficient, it saves space, and it should even help with thermals as well. All that, and it's still about as repairable as anything we've ever seen," iFixit concluded.

Yes, there was a perfectly fine, upgradable memory standard before. And many 486s were also perfectly fine, upgradable computers.

The fact that a new technology makes it so we can have our cake and eat it too


upgradability without any compromise


is a fantastic innovation.

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:

H|ψ> = E|ψ> + AI

Here, I have chosen the time-independent Schrödinger equation, to symbolize the fact that AI is the most important innovation of all time.

...

This is all bullshit of course. Everyone knows that the AI term should be included in the Hamiltonian anyway 🙄

I used to be older than my little brother.

I still am, but I used to, too.

To be clear, most science/advanced education in the US is conducted in SI units.

Also, a year is about pi*10^7 seconds, which can be useful for back-of-the-envelopes.

Someone else pointed out Tailscale; I've had luck with free tier VPS+WireGuard.

I have an Oracle one which has worked well. Downside is I did link my CC, because my account was getting deactivated due to inactivity (even using it as a VPN and nginx proxy for my self hosting wasn't enough to keep it "active"). But I stay below the free allowance, so it doesn't cost.

That said: as far as anonymity goes, it's not the right tool. And I fully appreciate the irony of trying to self-host to get away from large corporations owning my data...and relying on Oracle to do so. But you can get a static IP and VPS for free, so that's something.

Buying Twitter was, arguably, a consequence.

Was Jobs really a techbro? I usually think of techbros as being fairly political/libertarian (or some interpretation of libertarianism, at any rate), while Jobs was afaik pretty apolitical.
