Being male is a huge advantage when gaming - I don’t know how I’d even game without both hands on the keyboard and controlling the mouse with my dick.

Sudden onset defenestration. It’s an epidemic.

Obligatory: Just one more lane, bro

the ICQ age

There’s a blast from the past. Uh oh!

IIRC TRIM commands just tell the SSD that data isn’t needed any more and it can erase that data when it gets around to it.

The SSD might not have actually erased the trimmed data yet. Makes it even more important to turn it off ASAP and send it away to a data recovery specialist if it’s important data.

That’s because small businesses know there’s half a dozen competitors within a 20 minute drive and care about keeping your business.

When there’s two huge corporations that own the market between them, there’s more profit in not competing than they’d get by trying to win customers from each other.

Reddit has more bots arguing back and forth to encourage humans to engage.

Probably it’s cheaper to get 60 used low-end devices than one device that can run 60 copies of the Facebook app.

Reminds of when companies offshored their whole dev team and just sent requirements to them thinking they’d make code cheaper.

I mean, it was cheaper. It’s just that it was also awful. It was basically like firing all your senior devs and giving their work to randos who can’t code, but with plausible deniability.

That’s binary blob drivers for you, you just try different versions and hope it gets better someday.

One of the big advantages to open source drivers is that you can do a bisect to track some new breakage back to a specific patch. Sure, most people don’t know how to do that, but there’s a lot of people who can. And then the problem gets fixed for everybody.

I’m not sure government can. AI isn’t a profitable company with a product that people want which has a short-term cash flow problem, AI is a money pit that will just burn up as much cash as you can pour in.

If they hand AI firms a trillion dollars, they’ll be back for another trillion next year.

So just like “the deep state controlling America” the MAGA types are actually right about immigrants taking government handouts and ruining the country, they’re just targeting the wrong people: Democrats instead of billionaires, and poor Mexicans instead of Elon Musk.

I didn’t do the legally mandated number of "Hail Corporate!"s yesterday.

commonly understood as shorthand for any rhetorical device allowing leaders to covertly order or exhort violence among their followers, while still being able to claim plausible deniability for political, legal, or other reasons.

Probably because they insist on replacing the browser’s right click menu with theirs, and web pages can’t just grab the clipboard contents for security reasons.

12 years? You’re thinking of murder. He’s taking rich people’s money, he’d never see daylight again.

So you’re saying it’s actually a spiritual successor to KSP2?

If you want to make a greybeard feel old, grab one of the old floppies that they still have in a filing cabinet, hold it up and say, “Hey look, someone 3D printed a save icon!”

Current capacity, safety and power delivery are fine for most purposes, really.

LFP batteries really solved battery fires - they can’t produce their own oxygen like older NMC batteries, so they just get really hot and die instead of going off like fireworks.

Once you get past 300 miles, you’re pushing the limits of the average bladder and you need to stop before the car does.

With current electric trucks, if you’re doing some city driving and plug the truck in when you take a break, a truck driver will run out of hours before the truck runs out of range.
