And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I’d get this far! But that electricity bill’s gonna sting…...
Even the newest Pis use around 2W on idle (which seeding torrents basically is). I’d say the whole setup would be under 10W, or under 5W if the disk is 2.5".
I’m already in the area of diminishing returns, where none of my daily problems are really money related. To have any significant impact I’d probably have to double my salary, so I could afford exotic cars and stuff like that.
It’s always like that. Takes Jews for instance. They are inferior and the lesser race but at the same time somehow running the world from some secret society or something. They use the same arguments with blacks, women, gays, or whoever they want to hate that day.
For what it’s worth, my company issues macs by default, but allows Linux or Windows if you request it. We just use Google Suite. Zero problems collaborating, and I work in a customer facing role.
Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn’t use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?
Holy shit, this is worse than reddit lately. You read an anecdote about a lady, made up her whole life and got angry about what you just made up. Fucking hell.
Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
I think they corrected, they don’t upload strictly one video per day anymore. I’m hope the working conditions / stress for the staff improved. They content produced is still pretty entertaining.
For factual info about a purchase I would trust GamersNexus, tho. And their content about cars sucks, Alex is a terrible car reviewer.
Interesting, I just checked it out, and it seemed people really idealize “the good old days” plus they go absolutely crazy the second a youtuber wants to earn some money doing what they do.
Here’s what I think of the individual channels that I saw mentioned:
LTT had a big controversy after the Gamers Nexus video and it looks like they corrected. MKBHD was never super deep, he does reviews after a week or two of using a phone. You never get a full picture with just one review, if you are interested in spending your money watch a few, otherwise it’s just entertainment. I like LTTs server/Linus’ home series and MKBHD for the visuals.
Mark Rober had a few bad videos a year ago and now has a product that he sells, that fits perfectly with his theme “learning engineering by building stuff”. But his videos were never always perfect, people just remember the good ones.
The Primeagen reacting to stuff is the very reason I watch him (actually mostly listen while doing other stuff). He reads articles about programming/It stuff and comments about them. Yeah, sometimes he’s not an expert on the topic, but it’s still informative and very often he admits it from the beginning.
The lock picking lawyer picks locks. I don’t know what people expect him to do, there’s only so much variety. The 100th video about picking locks is not going to be so thrilling as the first one you watched… And again, him trying to monetize by creating products related to his hobby and selling them doesn’t seem like a capital sin to me.
Edit, because I forgot about Veritasium and Kurzgesagt: I completely disagree. Veritasium has gotten better with time and the last year has been awesome. The “Epic Math Duel” (somewhat older than a year, but the channel is 10 years old, so relatively recent), “Franz Haber” or “Sawing Machines” are excellent videos. Kurzgesagt is completely transparent about their funding and cite all sources, if some people feel a video about using stars as fuel for intergalactic travel or about Dyson spheres is “capitalist propaganda”, that is their right to an opinion I guess. If anything I would criticize for being a bit “too dreamy/science fiction”, but the visuals are great and it’s a great watch nonetheless.
