My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.
  • I believe you misunderstood the problem, the threads are not usually the problem, the problem is the brass heat insert the hinge threads into, the insert just breaks off the plastic with the screw still threaded in, usually because the hinge is a bit too tight/rigid and puts a lot of force into the insert pulling it out

    this seems to be the case in this picture as well

  • More than 300 Egyptians die from heat during Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, diplomats say
  • they do a pretty decent job cooling the place, the problems are outside the kaaba area though, as they can't cool down all the city,

    the jordinians who died were sleeping in the desert as they were without permits and wanted to hide from the authorities.

    the Egyptians though were not mentioned on any other news sites I know and I don't see any references or sources, so I call bullshit.

  • More than 300 Egyptians die from heat during Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, diplomats say
  • I don't see any references or sources at all in the page, and I couldn't find other news sites with comparable numbers, I call bullshit.

    it was reported that there was 41 jordanians who died trying to get to mecca without permits and they slept outside in the sun so that part was true but inflated number, the Egyptians thing is just a lie.

  • Linux really has come a long way
  • opened it up a few times mostly to fix the frickin hinge and I didn't see anything wrong visually, and I doubt it's that because the problem only exists on endeavorOS

    now that I think about it I think it's the only arch based distro I installed on my laptop and that was a big reason why I tried to use it, it might be an arch problem with my stupid HP

  • Linux really has come a long way
  • for me it was very unreliable, I have an i7 7th gen hp envy from I think 2018 and I dual booted Windows and linux for more than a year now jumping distros every now and again just to get to know them better.

    I first started with zorin OS and it was good, snappy, long battery life, stable I then tried popOS! and it was even better, I loved it until a few months in I started getting sudden crashes for some reason so I installed endeavourOS as it seems to be very popular and everyone was recommending it, but I immediately after installation started getting crashes every 30 or so minutes which was weird as no other OS linux or windows did that so it didn't seem hardware related I'm now using linux mint and it's wonderful so far

    TLDR I daily drove half a dozen OSs and the only one that gave me trouble from the beginning was endeavourOS, which is weird because it feels like I'm the only one...

  • How do passkeys work across devices?
  • FYI there's a bug currently that lets everyone see the comment even after they are deleted

    I use sync on android but I believe it's a bug in the API so it should be everywhere

    Just try to reply to the comment and you'll see it

  • GPT-4 performance comparable with physicians on official medical board residency examinations. Model performance near or above official passing rate in all medical specialties tested
  • I mean LLMs pretty much just try to guess what to say in a way that matches their training data, and research is usually trying to test or measure stuff in reality and see the data and try to find conclusions based on that so it doesn't seem feasible for LLMs to do research

    They maybe used as part of research but it can't do the whole research as a crucial part of most research would be the actual data and you'd need a LOT more than just LLMs to get that

  • Distro's depicted as vehicles
  • It was the first distro I installed on my laptop and actually daily drived, it looks cool and the feels good to use

    And since almost nobody around me uses linux it gives a very good image with how clean it looks
