For some people it needs to be extremely forced as its 100% against their nature and internal 'clock'.
It's like force walking when you have been a runner for a decade.
Imagine being forcibly downshifted into lets say working at PizzaHut as it's the only job you can get despite your IT career etc etc.
In order to avoid conflict, shame, drama you learn to just STFU and not reveal nothing personal to protect your sanity and privacy - even when some youngster in the kitchen bragging that he is the king of hackers, or when your boss is talking extreme nonsense that normally would you correct on the spot...
It's like literally being a fucking superman and you NEED to let someone die on your eyes just to keep your cover.
Wow I'm in shock, I didn't know until now that there is such a term!!!
I'm using this technique currently, after decades of being super loud, open, known and visible at the workplace.
My whole modus operandi is:
minimum talking = lower probability to get into conflict with coworkers, hr or boss (my job is literally life saver now)
minimum talking = more privacy (I'm homeless for a while and I don't want to talk about my personal problems or anyone to know anything about me, including absolute overkill with skills and education level etching)
minimum talking = they don't fuck with you as they don't know you. They don't know if you are kind or not etc.
It's a shame that it took me 2 decades to understand that some people are silent and avoidant not because they are shy or stupid but as a strategic choice.
Downside: no parties or romantic adventures at work at any cost too. (bye bye numerous beer invitations from hot blue-haired 19yo intern ) .
Works like a charm. Sometimes it's sad and lonely but it's net positive on the long run.
The popular IBM System/360 series used DTL gates, typically AND-OR-Invert. These were not exactly integrated circuits, but used square hybrid modules. These modules had separate transistor dies, diode dies, and thick-film resistors on a ceramic substrate. These modules were called SLT (Solid Logic Technology). IBM used these modules because they didn't think ICs were mature enough at the time.
KDE was good till version 3.0. Then those all CRAAAAAAZY plasma GUI changes destroyed all fun for me and at some point i didn't understand the GUI itself - didn't know how to use shit(despite using their product for like decade+)
That was pure insanity. No other operating/desktop manager alienized me THAT much.
I read a book on C that had this as an excercise; blew my mind at the time. It’s really a great excercise. I created and simulated an equihash machine this way many years ago; back when gpus were used for such thing as crypto mining and not ai!
for applications like that your should remove the battery and put small cheap circuit that emulates it. then you can run such server very very safe, unlike with 100x batteries always harging.
Took me hours to replace the battery in a pixel. They make it almost impossible to open a phone without breaking it. I can't imagine doing that for more than 2 phones
Pixel 7a. To be fair, it was a screen + battery replacement. The problem was the adhesive that they use. I warned it up, tried to open it and the screen shattered into tiny pieces when I tried to open it (because it was cracked).
I also don't have a heat gun, so I had to use a Ziploc bag with warm water.
Did the 7 and 8 have that much worse of a battery? I'm currently replacing the two Pixel 6 in my household (end of security updates), and there is nothing wrong with those. The hardware, battery included, is as good as new (or at least, not impeding our use).
I still use a pixel 6a. I don't really care about security updates. This was my wife's phone. I would say battery life is a bit worse in the 7a, but if you are already opening it (to change the screen), then you may as well replace the battery
It's quite amazing. I've found if you simply give the LLM a slight hint that things should be optimized for all devices, you can get tenfold performance of the original one-shot. But I think this is still a secret tactic because none of these have been optimized in the slightest.
Originally I felt eh maybe you have to have an old coder's mind to tell the LLM how to keep things optimized... But yeah nah not anymore, you just tell it to optimize.
And speaking of Matsushita setting up a dedicated production line for the 3-inch floppy drives, they will have done the same for the dedicated 2-inch floppy drives production line 5 years later:

It's NOT easy, but works wonders in the long run.
