Do applefags really

@meso The joke used to be that it was like buying a car with the hood welded shut. It is now basically that. Even if you crack it open, everything is soldered and epoxied in place. No user serviceable parts inside.

@p @meso The battery itself is soldered to the motherboard.

I've torn a few down before to salvage parts but even that is dubious. The ssd for example has a format that makes it near impossible to use anywhere else. Can't salvage the ram any more because it's integrated into the board as well.

@Tony @p @meso Exactly. I mean just buy a raspberry pi or a something.

I'm not paying $3000+ for something that's going to shit the bed in a year.

Look at this ssd man, its a 1tb drive I can't do shit with. lol

@ins0mniak @Tony @meso Why can't you?

@p @Tony @meso Because it doesn't fit with any of my boards.

@NonPlayableClown @Tony @p @meso I have several, but I scavenge shit where i can

@snacks this isnt torx

@Tony @ins0mniak @meso Ah. My motherboard has an M.2 slot, the Turing Pi 2 has four; I think it's a pretty common form factor.

@Tony @ins0mniak @meso @NonPlayableClown Yeah, you should ask him about his setup, it's pretty fuckin' cool.

@p @Tony @meso Yeah but look at the connection on that apple ssd compared to the most common ones

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @ins0mniak @meso @NonPlayableClown Yeah, that guy totally hates me.

@ins0mniak @Tony @meso Ah, okay. Notch placement.

@meso faggot screws for faggot users

@p @Tony @meso Yeah exactly. fits on literally nothing but macs as far as I know.

Like a normal m.2 is a soldid commodity. I can pop em in and out of all my systems no sweat.

I keep a few on hand in case something fails. I can just restore from my backups.

the m1, lattepanda, and the h3+ all use the same notch thingy

@NonPlayableClown @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @meso He found a pi the other day with a gps dongle.

on a related note, i still cant walk past one of those stupid scooter things without wanting to bust it open lol

my dad got a free chromebook for watching some webinar.
everything was soldered or integrated on that pos. think the thing had like 2 gb ram so it was slow af right out of the box.

@koropokkur @p @meso heh yeah. Those get handed out in schools alot because they're so locked down, tho I've hear of kids coming up with pretty clever ways to hack them and play games or have their messangers.

absolute faggotry

> I know he was annoyed about that gore stuff ban

There wasn't a ban (just attachments removed https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=fse;a=blob;f=lib/site/mrf/yshl.ex;h=50a0028f6454693cc4e67447750cb0f978e225c1;hb=HEAD ), and it wasn't due to gore, it was gorespamming. He was hopping alts when he got blocked by someone on DRC to gorespam them from FSE. Every time he'd promise to stop, and say he forgot that he was on FSE instead of DRC, which was a lie (and one that relied on me not reading his public posts on the server I operate): he deliberately hopped alts to gorespam he would complain about getting blocked and tell whoever he was gorespamming that he had alts all over.

So he complained about the error message being condescending and REEEE'd at me a while. By that point, he mostly hung out at DRC and just used FSE to gorespam people when he got blocked there, so he didn't need FSE if I stopped buying the excuses.

> I wanted him share his stuff and picks of him salvaging from part he got.

I've seen pictures he takes of stripping things down, yes. Sometimes interesting.

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @ins0mniak @meso @NonPlayableClown I feel like, if an entire page of the local timeline is him posting exploded heads and mangled genitals and whatever, it's enough.

@NonPlayableClown @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso

How is it worse?

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso @NonPlayableClown

There's enough to hate that I can understand; but if there's a specific complaint about Starlink I'm interested. I think LEO shit is so great, even if his company doesn't do well, it's going to solve undersea cable monopoly of networking.

@0 @Tony @NonPlayableClown @Soy_Magnus @ins0mniak @meso Low-Earth Officer

@0 @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @meso @NonPlayableClown Watching the bluecheck twitter meltdown was pretty funny.

I feel like taking that toy away did us a service.

@NonPlayableClown @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso

Ah, understandable.

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso @NonPlayableClown

It very out of mind to me, I don't even trust it to handle networking, I wire out to a switch I own, so I have not thought about opening or servicing the dish (which has worked very well).

@ins0mniak @koropokkur @p @meso they're also really cheap too

@ins0mniak @Tony @p @meso you can use it to fix another itoddlers Mac when the flash bricks itself and it goes to dfu mode

@PurpCat @koropokkur @p @meso I had one for a while, I just used it as a terminal.

Id just shell into an sbc I kept in my bag.

Everything is soldered on, including the screws.

Pros: bluechecks mad, fedi gets bigger.

Cons: George Takei's fedi account.

@p @Tony @Soy_Magnus @0 @meso @NonPlayableClown I had fun tormenting Taylor Lorenz.

"where am I?, whats going on?, is this a mastodon?"

@ins0mniak @0 @NonPlayableClown @Soy_Magnus @Tony @meso She seems easy to confuse.
canyoubanthisidiot.png

@p @Tony @Soy_Magnus @0 @meso @NonPlayableClown She's the Washington Post tech reporter too.

I actually saw a guy fire up a masodon instance during that whole thing and within a few days was trying to raise several thousand dollars for "server costs" lol

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @0 @meso @NonPlayableClown Haha I forgot about that.

Only thing I could thing of is the clown was using AWS but even that charges you by usage. having 20 users should run for pennies lol

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @0 @meso @NonPlayableClown word.

I love how they all couldn't live without twitter for more than a week or so.

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso @NonPlayableClown

You guys are just too poor to afford a full network. It's worth millions.

@NonPlayableClown @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso

It would be interesting to see where sweetspots occur. I really have no clue about the higher-end of things, I still host my shit on $5 VPS, but I also actively discourage users with random unannounced downtime and verbal abuse.

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso @NonPlayableClown

It's gotta plateau with actual hardware and what's available in market, 7666/p/graf/moon would have insights on that. Specifically wrt pressure points in software / hardware.

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @0 @meso @NonPlayableClown Yeah mine is cheap.

I used to run off an sbc, but Im too cheap to pay comcast for a static ip.

@Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @0 @meso @NonPlayableClown Cloudflare is the worst.

I've heard it can screw with federation as well.

@NonPlayableClown @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @ins0mniak @meso

Ephemeral posts are going to save cheap nodes. I also saw a very clever usage of slab storage and caching that would also help, I think that was from phnt@fluffytail.

@ins0mniak @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @meso @NonPlayableClown

It certainly will be an issue because I WON'T CLICK THE FUCKING BOATS.

@0 @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @meso @NonPlayableClown Click on all the squares with ice cream cones......

@ins0mniak @0 @NonPlayableClown @Soy_Magnus @Tony @meso Yep, I remember. BND/BMBF-funded dox.

@0 @NonPlayableClown @Soy_Magnus @Tony @ins0mniak @meso

> but I also actively discourage users with random unannounced downtime and verbal abuse.

Is that supposed to discourage users?

@ins0mniak @Tony @0 @NonPlayableClown @Soy_Magnus @meso Yeah, definitely can.

@ins0mniak @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @meso @NonPlayableClown

@0 @Tony @Soy_Magnus @p @meso @NonPlayableClown It's so satisfying.

But... the american economy **is** bad tho 🤔 Seems like you're working at cross purposes to your own argument...
