People have tried to politely call attention to the climate crisis for decades. They were ignored. Sometimes, you have to be chaotic to get noticed. See also: Stonewall, the Black Panthers.

Thunberg’s solution has always been “listen to the experts who have been screaming at you for 50 years.” You don’t have to be an expert to care about things or to want to listen to people who are experts.

USB4v2 can do 80Gbps and 240W.

They fixed it.

In this case, Microsoft does own the IP (it bought Bethesda after Bethesda bought id), so they definitely didn’t legally steal it.

It’s even better if you’re running KDE. Only so much they can do with a Windows program.

That being said, if you can’t find a release, the best option is it just to buy a DVD or BlueRay version of it.

And then rip it and upload so that the next person doesn’t have to.

But you wouldn’t multiply, say, 74*14 to get the answer.

The US is what Americans think China is.

Agreed. I’d happily settle for 1GB/s, maybe even less, if I could get the random seek times, power usage, durability, and density of SSDs without paying through the nose.

which flash memory kinda sucks at.

Au contraire, flash is amazing at random R/W compared to all previous non-volatile technologies. The fastest hard drives can do what, 4MB/s with 4k sectors, assuming a quarter rotation per random seek? And that’s still fantastic compared to optical media, which in turn is way better than tape.

Obviously, volatile memory like SDRAM puts it to shame, but I’m a pretty big fan of being able to reboot.

15 GB/s is about on par with DDR3-1866. High-end DDR5 caa do well over triple that.

And that’s not to mention the latency, which is the real point of RAM.

If it’s the app failing and not the API that it contacts, then a different app could work.

If you’re buying on credit it by defintion means you can’t afford it and thus shouldn’t buy it.

Buying it on credit doesn’t mean that that’s the only way you could buy it. I buy everything on credit, and I’ve paid about $50 total in interest in 10 years of doing so, a number far outweighed by the hundreds of dollars of rewards I’ve redeemed.

Now, obviously the bank wouldn’t let me do this if not for the fact that people as a whole pay more in interest than they redeem in rewards, but that doesn’t mean that any given individual does.

He got snippy about someone PRing gender-neutral language, calling it “politically motivated.” His explanation was that they hadn’t sent previous PRs, which seems like a stupid reason to reject that one; some people are better with language than they are at code, so they’re more helpful fixing comments than fixing bugs.

That said, trans people were never mentioned, and the fight for gender-neutral language long predates any significant public awareness of trans people; also, “meltdown” seems like an exaggeration. He was somewhat rude, but not completely unhinged.

No-one seems to be long-term greedy anymore.

The CCP seems to factor this into at least some of their decisions. Their infrastructure projects (like any infrastructure projects) take years, sometimes decades, to pay off, but boy howdy do they pay off.

Between my bad Internet connection and my apparent tendency to be the very last person who decides to download any given torrent, I just gave up and paid my private tracker to ignore my seed ratio ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s peak Boomer. Anti-woke and wife bad.

Israel is an even stranger member of the post than Taiwan IMO.

The average person can’t use Mac or Windows efficiently either lol
