Ya, that’s fair. If I was doing something I didn’t care about time on, it did work. And we weren’t talking hours, it it could be many minutes though.

The situation is tragic… their attempt to hide behind their ToS on that is fucking hilarious.

It does work, but it’s not really fast. I upgraded to 96gb ddr4 from 32gb a year or so ago, and being able to play with the bigger models was fun, but it’s not something I could do anything productive with it was so slow.

Any bets on the DRAM makers getting so excited over this and having felt left out of the stupid graphics card pricing, that they put the world into a perpetual DRAM shortage and this is just the new norm.

You can also use a post-install “Playbook” to rip all the adware and spyware out of Windows

Does that actually persist across forced updates? I know they’ve been known to re-install things on updates before.

I wonder how long ill be staying on my AM4 motherboard… those updated CPUs for gaming that AMD came out with might be my only option for a long time.

capitalists claim market prices are the true source of truth

Until any sizable amount decides to sell and it all falls apart because it’s actually not the source of truth lol.

Idiocracy wasn’t a movie, it was a documentary sent here from the future.

AI can be such a good kiss ass, think of all the emotional suffering it’ll save existing CEOs from having to endure kissing ass of people they hate.

except their employee benefits package is guaranteed to touch companies impacted by it.

I don’t think it was a bug making the configuration change, I think there was a bug as a result of that change.

That specific combination of changes may not have been tested, or applied in production for months, and it just happened to happen today when they were needed for the first time since an update some time ago, hence the latent part.

But they do changes like that routinely.

It’s a losing battle, but it shows your child is clever and adaptable. You’re training them well.

I’m disappointed this wasn’t the onion when I had to check.

It’s like he said decades ago, or near decades ago. Piracy is a quality of service problem.

When you do the right thing the right way, people will come and you can make a shit load of money. It doesn’t even mean he has to have done everything right, but you do enough right non-anti-competitive things like that, and it makes a difference.

Same thing like you said about SteamOS. They didn’t have to make it open, and could have made money, but the ecosystem that can be built around an open platform, and the people you can draw to it are going to be miles better than a closed system where thats the mindset from the top.

It’d be cool if these mandated these things be solar/battery/sail powered.

Let’s assume for a moment that all OS are going to go this way.

Of all the modern well used OS, microsoft is the one I’d trust the least to do it.

I literally just had this happen last night, but like 5am.

I still think there’s a difference.

When people talk about wielding money like power, its more along the lines of

• if you don’t do what I say, I’ll destroy you by doing XYZ.
• you better change your laws or I can fuck shit up in some way.
• I can break the law because you can’t fucking touch me.
• Your example: the power to command other people to do your bidding.

For Twitter he actually used his wealth as actual money to buy something you would buy with money.

He did get power from it yes, but I still think there’s a distinction when talking about wiedling it as power vs using money as money.
