The one caveat to building is if you build a PC and a single component is faulty, you are now responsible for determining which component is to get the RMA done. That can be a big hassle. One time for me it was actually two different components that needed to be replaced by the manufacturers, and that was a pain to figure out.
There are numerous occasions where someone has a lingering question on Reddit that I see and know the answer to. It’s too bad it’s on Reddit because I no longer contribute to that website, and refuse to.
Guo, who is also known by the name Miles Kwok, left China in 2014 during an anti-corruption crackdown that ensnared people close to him, including a top intelligence official.
Chinese authorities accused Guo of rape, kidnapping, bribery and other crimes, but Guo said those allegations were false and designed to punish him for publicly revealing corruption as he criticized leading figures in the Communist party.
He applied for political asylum in the US, moved to a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park and joined Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
Come on. It’s too on the nose. I just have to assume that every allegation about this guy is true.
Maybe a few more bitcoin mining warehouses and datacenters for “ai” will offset this. Perhaps a few sweetheart deals where all available “renewable” energy gets diverted to such facilities, meaning traditional carbon-emitting sources have to be kept ramped up… maybe that will help. While we’re at it, those sweetheart deals should be further offset by rate increases to everyone else.
Oh, and double while we’re at it all the big tech companies claiming they’re already or at least definitely on the way to carbon neutral by purchasing carbon credits should be allowed to do everything they want. This always bodes well.
In case it’s needed: I’m being sarcastic.
That would be the behavior of a rogue state.
“It’s a rogue prosecutor who’s out to demonise the one and only Jewish state,” he added.
Which is it, American man? Is the separation of church and state the ultimate ideal, or is it that theocratic states are sacrosanct?
Maybe power is more reliable in central Texas, my family still has no electricity from the derecho that hit Houston. And they lose power frequently from all the heavy storms or hurricanes that pummel the gulf coast.
I foremost hope that the United States can regain a shred of its diginity and stop treating every foreigner like a criminal, stop funding a genocide, stop killing its own population with guns, have a decent social services program, etc. This is obviously a fantasy, so I secondarily hope these researchers can go back to China and do good work, where they won’t be treated as second-tier human beings.
Just the other day I got downvoted for posting that it’s stupid that 8GB of RAM in laptops is not enough. Software like Synapse, trying to lift the load that it does in Python, is exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about.
the college WiFi environment some of my friends are in where a timer is set after bedtime which would wait until all sockets are closed which doesn’t include XMPP so messaging with my friends after bedtime is still possible.
The college tries to just shut off the WiFi at night??
feels like you can’t even exist anymore without all your data getting leaked by someone who aggressively must consume as much of it as possible.
Hulu you can say, “well at least I can pirate and avoid giving my info up.” But what can you do against things like when Equifax was hacked?
There needs to be real privacy reform and real data privacy laws in the USA. bullshit ass second-tier country
Lying for sales. Which we normally would just call fraud. Worse yet, they were misrepresenting themselves as people who were genuinely needy and cashing in on that. Wish we’d see more of this kind of sentencing in the USA.
Can’t help but think about how Facebook inc rebranded itself to Meta to chase/promote the metaverse fad.
In public would it just look like you’re caressing your own ass?
yes
oh good, there are single-use e-cigs? what will they think up next? single-use, disposable, electronic pregnancy tests?
This is precisely why any argument against gpl is laughable. Android is Linux. But a kernel without a userland is pointless. And that’s how Google operates: they use the kernel (which they want to replace) and then rewrite as much as they can with MIT licensed or proprietary code. The goal being to lock down the platforms in spite of the so-called “open source” software.
This comment is sent from my iPhone where the story is even sadder. Darwin does what Google wishes Linux could do, as far as licensing goes.
I don’t really know how to install something like a beta version of KDE, especially without messing up things on my own computer.
None in particular. Just the totality of the changes. Many of them are small default changes or usability changes, but when taken together it sounds like a nice, somewhat overdue bundle.
Plasma 6 for sure. I’m a Gnome user waiting with bated breath to see if it actually delivers the goods.
Always hoping for Nvidia to stop being bullshit. Definitely not buying from them again.
This part is directly Telegram’s fault. If they cannot keep up with their moderation queue then they need a bigger moderation team. Preferably properly remunerated. There are news reports about how Facebook’s sub-contracted moderators work for these extremely shitty companies who track them based on how many reviews a minute they do, and which causes extreme psychological damage to the workers both because of the extreme content they have to see as part of their jobs and the bad working conditions they must put up with.
