Build PC with 16gb now, upgrade to 32gb in the future, not be stuck with surplus 2x8gb afterwards.

It’s a very typically American opinion to argue that you don’t have to be personally responsible for your actions if the law legally allows you not to.

Awesome, a whole new universe of crypto scams is exactly what the world needs right now.

Sick of this outfit polluting search results with paywall/loginscreen results. Pinterest can get fucked.

Yup, I asked it how long an azure subscription had existed and it could not even tell me that. Literally now() minus the object’s creation date and it had no idea what to do.

Exactly, half of a system exists as code but the other half exists as a mental model in the minds of the devs. With AI the former will, now much more quickly, outrun or deviate from the latter and then the problems of long-term reliability,

This is why I do not use any google apps and deleted my google anccount. Their shitty software pisses me off. Every time I try to use it, the UI elements shift around as I try an action as simple as activating a search box. But it is just l

Dems were already the adult in the room, US voters decided they don’t want one.

I have quantum fiber and am using a Dynalink WRX36 running OpenWrt. Needed the vlan 201 configuration but works well. OpenWrt is pretty amazing, my router downloads torrents, blocks ads, runs a VPN client (enabled per-device) for watching g

No, that aircraft (having taken off from Reagan, visible in the full not-cropped videos) is close to the Kennedy Center camera but is nowhere near where the CRJ and helicopter were.

Being that the concept of ACC is unusual, and it is run by the NZ Gov, means that ACC ads are some quite bizarre PSAs in a similar vein to NZ’s and Australia’s notorious road safety PSAs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u51O

Not the exact same way — far from it. Look up ranked choice voting. It makes third (and beyond) parties actually viable.

Similar experience here. When I moved to a new place and had to find a dentist, the first one I went to told me I needed two root canals, even though I had been to my original dentist just 6 months before. The waiting room was filled with m

The interior may be refurbished only 1-2 times during the economic life of the airframe, so the rule generally still holds. 747s are old enough that chances are, even the IFE tech installed during the refurb is outdated. A380s aren’t yet ol

Many airlines have had generally available models of tablets (such as iPads) to hand out on their aircraft lacking screens. eg. Hawaiian Airlines when they still had 767s.

Really depends on the aircraft. It reflects the age/generation of the aircraft and isn’t crappy just because it’s on an aircraft. 747s had, and A330/A380 still have, these issues. Slow CPUs, washed out colors, massive boxes taking

Here’s one example of why it takes ages — drivers that grab the window handle of a control panel and hack at it to show custom UI. Old example that specifically addresses the Displays and Printers control panels, but similar hacks probably

To be fair, software and technology is so magically transformative that even with warranty disclaimers like “this software comes with no warranty, and we limit our liability to the purchase price”, every company in the world still lines up

Yes. They are still there, and like milk bars, still have an anachronistic name: newsagents. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsagent%27s_shop

Elon Musk is like Donald Trump. They will say anything, whether they actually believe it or not, to get more attention on themselves and try to stay relevant.

Defined benefit pensions are unsustainable Ponzi schemes though. Attempting to guarantee market returns is silly.

That by itself is not commingling. Money is fungible, and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(money_supply) is a well established and widely used concept.

Weird, highly distracting arrow things darting around the page. I gave up trying to read it after a few paragraphs.
