lol A+ trolling.

"I don't want to have a conversation in bad faith", while you act in bad faith.

Classic!

I'm not so sure the list is such a big badge of honor. Both this account and my old defunct one are on that list and I block and avoid politics like the plague on here. lol Sure, it's impossible, and I've definitely had a political rant or two, but even geometrydash3d.com is on the list...

This is truly a weird censor list.

Isn't a big point of floating point that it can easily have mathematical operators done on them on CPUs? Sure, complex circuitry is no big deal these days, but IIRC, there were very good reasons for what was chosen.

Nope but seeing a lot of actual demons walking around, so... not sure the religious folks are winning.

I mean, we're supposed to be stewards according to the teachings, but all those dumbass children hear is, "hey this is yours ..." and just kinda space off the rest of everything said...

That would require logic, which it very much does not have.

I really hope you're not saying AI is a supervillain breaking out... It was absolutely unquestionably instructed to do this, because "AI", not even these giant multifaceted models, has ANY motivation, intent, desire, or ANY goals of its own. It does not work like that.

They're almost the same thing, so this kinda' hits like two people arguing over which shitbox $300 car they drive is faster...

No, that's old rechargables like NiCad and NiMH. They make rechargeable lithium ones these days that have an integrated BCU and output 1.5v until they're dead. Many you can charge via USB-C or micro, so you don't even need a special charger.

An unmoving magnet is fine, but move a strong enough one and it'll induce a strong enough current in circuitry to risk damage similar to electrostatic discharge. Not all components can handle over/under voltage without damage.

Nah, it's not fine. A changing magnetic field still induces current in any conductor. So, swipe a strong enough magnet across your phone in the wrong place and you'll run a strong risk of doing something similar to ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.

A strong one would fuck it up 'permanently', as in it took active measures to restore a good picture (degaussing).
