Conversely, I’m coming to the conclusion that I could probably live with just a steam deck, instead of a laptop etc. A portable screen, or my projector, my nice Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and I reckon it’ll do everything I really need day-to-day.

I don’t know exactly, my mate bought it, but if I recall rightly, it was about the same as you saved. Mined sweet fuck all though, so a 50w tube heater may have been a better bet…

We have a battery bank for our solar that was getting too cold in the freezing weather, and we used a little mining rig (that’s designed and marketed as a heater miner, to preempt the “it’s not designed for that” comments), and while it found exactly fuck all of value, it did keep them warm enough to keep our power on

Electric Fight Orchestra is kinda fire

Bad real estate is fantastic, it’s incredible how bad some of those places are

I’ll second this, these posts are bright spots on my feed

I have a full-size Keychron, and I love it, I think it was fantastic bang for buck

I’ve been slightly obsessed by Love Endeavour (Maurice Fulton Remix) by Alice Smith from 2014, Golden Fool by Gnome (and indeed the whole album), and Cabin Fever by Slomosa (and indeed almost everything they’ve done), both released last year
