    Clockwise, counter clockwise. Classic time shorthand (IE, half past ten, quarter to eleven). Time estimations (easy to see a half minute on a analog clock, digital just goes from 2:00 to 2:01)

    I think analog clock displays are more elegant, and are overall nicer than digital. Personal preference though.

    Worth pointing out that credit scores are completely detached from the government. They are entirely private industry, that is collecting and selling your financial info without your consent or opt in. If you were born before 2004, then they have also accidentally leaked literally all your personal info to the dark web, with literally 0 consequences.


  • Just charge it and use it. Recharging and discharging the battery shortens the life of the battery. In an ideal world, you would charge the laptop battery to 50% and then never charge or use it again, but that’s makes your battery fucking useless.

    So use your laptop. My advice is to keep it plugged in as much as possible. Most laptops (even 10 years ago) can run directly off the wall power, which stops the battery from degrading (as fast) as older laptops where they were constantly powered by the battery, and the charger just kept it topped off.

    Most of the battery advice you hear is just voodoo bullshit, or it makes a very small difference in the overall life of the battery. Just use your computer like normal.

    I don’t want a smart (insert household device here) I want a dumb device that simply reports it’s status to and accepts commands from a computer. Put all the smart shit in one thing and control multiple devices from a single interface.

    There is no reason why my oven or laundry machine needs enough computing power to land a man on the moon.

    I think we’re more like the Alliance from Firefly.

    Most people are just trying to go about their day-to-day, and the war and major imperialism was done a long time ago. Now there are a few in the government who keep doing evil shit, but for the most part it’s a big useless bureaucracy.
