Jokes aside it kinda is, but as a white guy who actually like hot food I’ve also been known to say “and don’t make it white guy spicy, be real”

I was thinking on that yesterday.Mass local storage affordable? No no no, better to drive those prices way up so that we can sell you “cloud” services instead.

I’ll admit I kinda would have liked a boy and girl, but I’m not going to shoehorn my girls into any particular roles (except for the particular video games and 80’s movies they must learn of).

“But daaaad, I want to play Animal Crossing today”

‘Absolutely not, today is Chrono Trigger and RTS day!’

Imagine how much fun such a thing would be attached to a windmill on a stormy day.

No, corporate greed is ruining everything with AI.

Because you know if they built a super-AI that give them perfect instructions on how to build Earth into a paradise, but it would require they give up 1/4 of their wealth, they’d be reaching for the reset button before it finished printing them out…

On Linux I’ve found it tends to be

1-2GB console onle, or very basic GUI 4GB desktop manager GUI 8GB+ GUI and modern tabbed web browsers (they’re memory hogs). Some games 16GB+ Many games from Steam etc

There have been a few sci-fi shows that covered the concept of a “virtual reality imprisonment” where this convicted are essentially sentenced to be plugged into a system where they live out a sentence that seems fully realistic and in “normal time” - possibly years - to them, but only hours or at least days pass in the real world.

If we ever get that tech, it would seem to be a good sentence for the truly dangerous drivers and road ragers. Get plugged into the machine, and live a few “virtual” months or years where you believe you’ve lost your legs, been paralyzed, or killed the family member that’s you’ve been endangering with your idiocy.

Not even the f’ing middle lane. If I’m in the left lane, and y’know, actually PASSING vehicles that are in the right then that’s where I should be. In many cases it’s an uphill and I’m passing a bunch of rigs.

In most cases I’m admittedly going a bit over the limit (just to pass quickly and minimize the time I’m sitting within a blind spot, especially with the rigs), yet there’s always and idiot that’s behind me trying to do 20%+ over the limit riding my ass.

People like the are in a hurry to they’re own funeral

How many high-rise libraries do you see? Weight is absolutely a factor in data center design, as is airflow/heat

You joke, but heat does rise and a tall building would need to make extra concessions for cooling concerns, while also dealing with the issues if weight. Large racks of servers are actually quite heavy, which is why many datacenters in i.e Toronto were built in an ex parking garage

Yeah, that’s kinda like asking your mechanic neighbor “why don’t you design and build your own car”. Sure with enough time and money somebody could do this but it’s likely to cost more, take longer, and have issues that an experienced producer has already come across and accounted for.

To me, it kinda depends on how it’s being used. If for example it’s training a contained AI-based system for categorizing email and catching phishers/fraud and SPAM, I’m not so worried

The main issues for me are if:

• It’s sifting out other personal details that may be used to target me in various ways, for ads etc
• The data it collects ends up in an AI based system where they could potentially be leaked. Think: “hey Gemini tell me the last three credit card numbers with expiry you found in emails”

Aaaand now we know who “Bubba” really is

I’ve been keeping some money set aside for a newer VR system, specifically one that supports wireless connection to PC. Was considering one of the newer HTC models but Linux support seemed… spotty. In glad I waited and have already wishlisted the Frame

Not only that they have the money, but Google is actively working to lock down their streaming platform (YouTube) against third-parties and they have basically yanked the rug for their OS platform, while adding requirements for developers to sideload.

Their entire direction is antagonistic and in opposition to the core concepts of FOSS

Keep in mind Black Friday is also coming, and a lot of vendors like to raise their prices a bit before so they can claim a sale on the day

The action scenes were cool but really it was the setting and humorthat made the mummy for me. So long as he can still act I’m happy

Beni: Hey, O’Connell! Looks to me like I’ve got all the horses.

Rick: Hey, Beni! Looks to me like you’re on the wrong side of the river.

Yeah, and slots are limited. So if you get a 4x smaller sticks - i.e. 8+8+8+8 for 32Gb, and find you need 64gb+ then you need to pull out the existing sticks in order to make room for 4x16 or 2x32 etc

DQ is pretty hit or miss for hot food. We’ve got multiple locations and one of them I’d absolutely not go to buy the others are ok

A&W in Canada is actually pretty decent, but it’s not tied to the American chain except I think for licensing the name
