I got a surprising amount of use out of a similarly configured C720 as a general purpose portable machine.

The question is, does an orange head on a spring truly count as a Heathcliff?
I’ve certainly never heard of a chicken ranch, but plenty of chicken farms.
With software that misuses /tmp, I’m more worried about burning out my SSD endurance than running out of RAM.
Yeah, I have no idea either, but it’s been around for more than a decade so it should be fairly easy to find a library that duplicates it.
I would be wary of AI-based solutions. There’s a risk of it picking up e.g. satirical/spoof sponsorships as actual ads, and perhaps not detecting unusual ads.
I’m slightly terrified of the day someone starts getting AI to reword and read out individual ads for each stream.
You definitely would have legal issues redistributing the ad-free version.
Sponsor block works partly because it simply automates something the user is already allowed to do - it’s legally very safe. No modification or distribution of the source file is necessary, only some metadata.
It’s an approach that works against the one-off sponsorships read by the actual performers, but isn’t effective against ads dynamically inserted by the download server.
One option could be to crowdsource a database of signatures of audio ads, Shazam style. This could then be used by software controlled by the user (c.f. SB browser extension) to detect the ads and skip them, or have the software cut the ads out of files the user had legitimately downloaded, regardless of which podcast or where the ads appear.
Sponsorships by the actual content producers could then be handled in the same way as SB: check the podcast ID and total track length is right (to ensure no ads were missed) then flag and skip certain timestamps.
I expect they are talking about the ‘irrevocably’ part, as one of the core tenets of GDPR is that consent can be withdrawn.
I couldn’t say whether or not that applies here.
I use it for turning off the screen when the screen is locked, allowing background tasks to continue.
It’s also useful to run things like backups when the system is more likely to be idle.
You’re assuming everything scales linearly, which is not necessarily accurate. The square-cube law rains on many people’s parades.
Secondhand stuff can be really cheap if you know where to look, but the drawbacks are usually power and noise.
I wouldn’t start worrying until 50k+ hours.
There should be a way to view SMART info and that includes an hour count.
Biggest question to me is why you need an IP in the first place?
I am pretty sure the production of canned food is intended to render the inside of the can sterile, so that there are no bacteria that can grow inside the can. This is done by heating/boiling the can after it’s been sealed.
Jam and some other types of preserve are the same. You kill everything (sterile), then seal it from the outside world
This has got to be AI? Can’t tell if they’re steering or road wheels…
RELEASE THE QUACKEN
For the authentic US experience, I’ve heard some clubs print their own $1 house currency, which the ATMs/bar staff sells.
I’m sure the strippers would love to be paid in fivers, though.
Most of the rest of the world moved the roughly $1 to $2 values to coins rather than bills/notes.
It looks like only the 1, 2, and 5c Euro coins contain steel.
It was a few years back, but after it hit ChromeOS EOL I’m pretty sure it just got some KDE distro; I don’t think I even used LXDE. Didn’t need to do much.
I was mostly using it for web browsing, forums, spreadsheets, documentation etc. Nothing particularly strenuous.
I did have one really fun time of modifying PDF engineering drawings by opening them in Libre Office Draw which it handled kinda OK.
It did get a 240GB SSD but everything else was soldered.
