Generally I wait until it dies. My current one is testing my patience at 3 years old while I’ve disliked it since the start, but the cost of a new one is sobering enough to let me suck it up.

My first phone died under a bus after 4 years, my second one stopped getting security updates after 2 or 3 years and was starting to get seriously slow, so that one I sold, my third one took 5 years to die to repeated water exposure… And this is my fifth one.

Honestly they should lend their branding to an energy drink brand. Wouldn’t it sell well?

Technically you can call a chain of three if/else conditions an AI but come on, you KNOW that’s not what we mean.

If mirroring doesn’t work, that sounds promising. Then I could just hit the shortcut from my phone with Unified Remote or something

That’s with mirroring ? Sounds great then!

To clarify, my HDMI cable can handle 48 Gbps just fine. When my displays are set to extend, I can set my TV to 4K, 120 Hz, HDR, without a problem.

The issue is how Windows handles mirroring.

I don’t know why it bothers me so much that the insides of their mouths are the same color as their skin or beard

Maybe look at old office PCs for sale. Some of them aren’t THAT old and you could get a good CPU upgrade from one of them. Slot your graphics card in and that could be a significant improvement.

I see RAM at somewhat high but reasonable-ish prices on Facebook Marketplace all the time. Might not be the case elsewhere, but keeping an eye on the used market is a possibility.

Kinda nice but I would have never guessed

How do you do another level?

Trains, trams, bike lanes walkable neighborhood, even busses. Anything but goddamn cars.

Friend, the only solution to traffic is fewer cars and better alternatives to driving.

Just one more lane bro, I swear. I just need one more lane and we’ll solve traffic.

You certainly did not!

Thanks! Now I get it. :)

Great explanation. Thank you so much for all the effort. But the part you explained in the most depth was the part I did understand, I’m so sorry.

But I did understand the part where I was confused anyway, to some degree

What I wondered was why giving humans that ability would make the cold extremities feel worse. The answer seems to be that by reheating the returning blood, the outgoing blood gets pre-cooled, and starts at a lower temperature. So the feet are even colder.

Now the question I still have is: so the birds’ get are still super cold, probably even colder than humans’. They probably even reach freezing temperatures, considering birds don’t disappear even at -20 °C. Why don’t they get frostbite, lose toes to necrosis, and all that stuff that a human going out barefoot in the winter would be sure to get?

What I don’t understand is that, say, for a human, if you’re warmly dressed everywhere but your feet are bare, like a bird.

The danger isn’t really that you’ll die because you didn’t have enough heat overall. The danger is the your feet will not get enough heat to compensate exposure and will freeze by themselves.

So if birds have a mechanism to survive that, I have trouble understanding how except by sending more heat into the feet overall. Unless their feet can just survive being below freezing unlike ours?

I’m so confused

Wait wouldn’t more heat exchanged mean that the fingers would be closer to the average temperature of the rest of the body? That sounds comfortable to me, unless I’m missing something

I’m better than that. My organs can shut down at any temperature!
