tech/science swag.
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

I'm not reading all that autism but this is an ugly butt laptop.
Edit: Check out the company website https://acrnm.com/
It looks like NPC cyberpunk aesthetic rehashed from everything since Blade Runner.

The keys are distracting, I get being different but you're looking straight at the monitor all the time, if it's going to be unique at least pick a difference contrast than black/white.

Honestly the best custom keycaps I've seen were those made to look like the ones from Alien, but even those were more about style over any actual usability.

Good find. Neurodivergent r-slurs going off about the aesthetic choices of a small fashion brand is a great combination. They've got good stuff as well.

The funny part is he's partially wrong about his Cyrillic "dunk." It would read "LSYAOIUM" and that's somewhat a stretch because R is not a valid symbol in Cyrillic, so I'm substituting ĐŻ.

Dieter Rams set design back years because most designers take the wrong lessons from him, good designers read Don Norman:

Obsessing about modernists minimalist function = boring, you have to create "visceral reactions" in peoples minds. Just look at rDrama, there is excess everywhere but thats why its fun.

no. but it's likely a sign of unfamiliarity with metalworking. this resembles a very late cut, not finished, while the thing is finished+deburred. so the thing sells the "I can do things with CNC" image. meanwhile the creators forgot to leave out the fine finishing pass and they're implying the owner doesn't know how to make alum neat.
Everyone in the know sees either "it might cut me to pieces just looking at it" which won't happen considering general QC
or "poser". "you don't know about how quality aluminum parts look"

Modern design is sterile.

The all white quartz countertop cheap flip aesthetic sucks. It looks like a shitty Euro beach resort that you pork B-tier hookers in after breaking up with your fat bong girlfriend. Anyone who is trying to flip those right now deserves to go bankrupt and should have a scarlet letter tattood on their forehead

Don't get me wrong, I actually kinda like quartz. Great heat resistance, it looks nice, relatively inexpensive, solid alternative to granite at a lower price point. Same thing with warm neutral painted cabinets and cooler neutral exteriors with sharp white trim, and composite floors. All of those are nice solid little upgrades to a house that I would be totally fine living in.
But combine all of those cheap, simple things onto a house that you've added 150k onto the sticker for maybe 25k of materials + labor from some Boozecruising handyman? Frick off lmao shits not even worth viewing as a buyer
