Usually (ime) it’s just another cumfy chair like the one she’s sitting on. Never had a chaise longue, nor have I ever seen one. Maybe 100 years ago, but nowadays it’s a cartoon thing.

Elon Musk was a trendsetter!

You nailed it, except “huge generalization” is actually being generous. The article is simply wrong. The author is speaking esoteric technobabble:

The upgrade death spiral (…) happens because upgrading one component of your computer can unbalance the system.

It’s the sort of argument a husband might give his not tech savvy wife when she asks why he repeatedly needs to spend so much $$$ on something only he uses.

I think FOMO says it pretty well, or simply consumerism.

Now that hardware is getting more expensive again, this is really sending the wrong message.

And OP keeps doubling & tripling down despite basically every comment disagreeing. I think they wrote that article.

Aye.

And OP is doubling down.

Not sure what “future proof” means, but my PC still has its original case from Windows Vista times, has seen 2 mobo replacements, 1 PSU replacement, and I don’t even know how many hard drive / SSD additions / swaps. RAM extensions too. Used to have a GPU but after the 2nd mobo/CPU replacement I dropped it.

Different screens, keyboards, and mice.

None of this would have easily been possible on a laptop.

In a world where hardware is getting more expensive again you are really sending the wrong message here.

Not to speak of environmental impact & consumerism.

CPUs are the same with real performance needed a new chipset and motherboard. At that point you are replacing the whole system.

I find the quoted statement untrue. You still have all peripherals, including the screen, the PSU, and the case.

You can replace components as and when it becomes necessary.

You can add up hard drives, instead of replacing a smaller one with a larger one.

Desktop mobos are usually more upgradeable with RAM than laptops.

There’s probably more arguments that speak against the gist of this article.

Iain M Banks’ GSVs are missing. Pretty sure they’d outsize most of what we’re seeing here. Not that that is what makes him a great scifi author.

As soon as you leave English language wikipedia this happens fairly often. Not necessarily Russian, maybe adjacent. And not since yesterday! I noticed around Corona, and it’s been a problem for way longer. It’s relatively easy for 1 editor to slip through unnoticed if there isn’t enough eyeballs on the article, and hey they can write what their overlords tell them unchallenged.

Some weird political-religious discussion apparently erupted over this. 🙄

Let me clarify it for you confused Italians: Meloni is what is usually termed conventionally beautiful I guess. The same goes for that picture. Painted in 2000. There’s very little resemblance beyond that; not enough to — what are they so upset about?

Yes, it is.

Is the article anything beyond iOS advertisment?

Isn’t questioning an answer just asking another question?

Very good explanation, thank you.

Thank you!

The fairly high butter content and usage of baking powder kinda explains the texture you described but is also visible in the photo.

How is it made?

May I ask what these buiscits actually are? The word means something different to me. These look more like some sort of white bread rolls, but then again not really…

+1 for dublab, they also have a German affiliate dublab.de with the same vibe.

And WeFunk is just what I’ve been looking for.

• Bagel Radio https://www.bagelradio.com/ for all things fuzzy
• 9128 https://www.9128.live/ electronic, usually quieter stuff.
• LYL https://lyl.live/ experimental, rare, off the beaten path, very much depends on the DJ
• NTS Live & infinite mixtapes https://www.nts.live/
• Vinyl Stacks Uncool http://cmvs.uncool.club:2121/vinyl-stacks

And recently also 12XU https://onetwoxu.de/radio/ noise, hardcore, anti-relaxation, sometimes lo-fi

edit: all of these commercial free of course! And usually 100% music, no talk, with the exception of Bagel Radio who regularly run a show where the top DJ presents new arrivals, but the rest is 100% music too.

Bobiverse?

Thanks for clarifying.
