Even if it’s powered, RAM will lose its data on the order of a tenth of a second. RAM doesn’t just require power, it requires that your computer constantly read and rewrite it - so every 64ms your computer has to read every gigabyte of RAM and write it back.
I suppose that’s what I come back to.
My parents lived with the threat of nuclear annihilation, my grandparents fought in ww2. My gg parents lived through ww1. Most of everyone before them lived in relative poverty.
I’m not sure id take any of them over the current situation. Certainly there are massive problems looming that will cause lots of suffering, but humans do find joy and purpose at all times
I think the Intel/nvidia combo works (with a lot of caveats) but the amd/nvidia one seems way less supported. Not a massive deal for me as I mostly use it as a desktop replacement machine, but it does suck to only get about 2.5 hrs of battery life on the rare occasions that i’m untethered.
A few apps like Photoshop and Fusion360 keep my running Windows. The graphics card situation is also a giant pain in the ass, my laptop has a Radeon and a RTX 3080 and I can’t get any kind of prime offloading to work. I’d really like to use the radeon unless i’m running something intensive that needs 3d acceleration, but i think I’d likely have to reboot to switch between them.
That leaves me running the RTX chip the whole time so the laptop draws about 40W at idle, when running windows it’s more like 10W because the nvidia chip is completely off.
Yeah, though some of that’s genetics too. I’m a couple years younger than him and honestly think I look at least a couple of years younger than him. I eat fairly well, but definitely have occasional donuts and frequent pizza.
Plus even if you could get an exact number of USDA calories (which you probably could do with hyper-processed foods) there’s no guarantee that your body would extract that exact number of usable calories because that’s a function of your individual digestive system and how it responds to certain inputs.
If you buy eggs preshelled in the US then they are required to be pasteurized - something like this would be good https://vitalfarms.com/pasture-raised-liquid-whole-eggs/
In theory you can pasteurize an egg in its shell, but they aren’t very common round here.
Yeah absolutely, plus there’s lots of space for new entrants with different ideas for what a hybrid platform might look like. Some of them will surely be terrible but maybe there’s a magical do-it-all solution that we just haven’t imagined yet.
Not having to recreate the community from scratch makes it so much easier for technologies to emerge
I’m also not sure the interface is quite right. There are maybe use cases where subscribing to a lemmy community or kbin magazine might make sense in Mastodon, but most of the time that feels like a weird use-case. It feels like I want to subscribe to my own feed of people who reply to me, then I could reply to them from Mastodon (except there’s no real link between my identities, which is messy)
Yes - it’s been the job of the DRAM controller for almost the entire history of computing. But that’s still a part of the computer and if it stops working then your RAM will go blank in a fraction of a second
