Profits.

And if say SK Hynux decides to only sell to consumers, Samsung and the others will sell even more to data enters because there’s more cash to be made.

This is literally a post about a western company being terrible.

What did I expect anyway, this is an .ml user after all. Get back to licking genocidal boots I guess.

Does your data matter ? There’s a data loss prevention risk and security.

If you don’t care about those either, then I guess your decision makes sense

Another reason to move to the digital euro is to circumvent the censorship on steam and various adult websites that credit card companies are imposing on us.

The digital euro is where it’s at! I can’t wait to give billions of dollars worth of middle fingers to American credit card companies.

Notices this is about apple

Nothing of value was lost

Sounds like the energy efficiency they won’t give a number for of their new model is greeeeeaaaaaaaat…

It was pretty good 10+ years ago I’d say, then it slowly got worse and worse

I’ve had the same experience you did but didn’t feel like writing it all out. Thanks !

I meant to steer the conversation on amazon being worse quality than it used to, not quite to aliexpress…

I’m familiar with it, I’ve ordered more than 100 items off aliexpress.

And I feel like the modern amazon experience got worse and is closer to the intense searching required to find the good stuff at the right price from aliexpress.

I wouldn’t say aliexpress stuff is good, but rather that amazon stooped down to aliexpress-levels of quality, to which we got ourselves used to.

Am I only one who immediately loses respect for hashtag abusers?

Using VLC is easy. Having good musical taste and finding the time to renew your library so it doesn’t grow stale is hard.

I know, I used to download all my stuff and now I just get YouTube music started on a piece I like and let it autoplay forever while I work, do a tabletop campaign, play videogames… I find that this way, I find the music it plays to be in the right mood 98% of the time.

It disgusts me to say it but it just works and saves me a lot of time.

I think they host wine/proton releases at least, maybe more

What’s the exclusion zone of rare earth mines ? Of the terrible chemicals required to extract those products ? Same question with the batteries. What’s the impact of the shade on agriculture ? How about all the steel, concrete and composites on the environment, how do they degrade ? Is it in micro plastics ?

I didn’t say nuclear energy was good, just that solar panels are worse. The perfect energy source doesn’t exist but currently all the data I’ve come across points to the direction that nuclear is significantly better than all other renewables and don’t require significant battery storage.

Also if anti-science ecologists hadn’t blocked so many fast neutron reactors, we’d be further along to a tech that can burn existing thorium stockpiles for 8000 years without further mining and while producing significantly less dangerous waste than current reactors. I guess we’ll just buy the design from China and Russia who didn’t stop the research and have currently operating reactors right now.

Even for offshore wind, you gotta add the necessary battery capacity for a reliable power grid…

I’m using table 1.

PV panels alone produce 43g/kWh, batteries 33.

Nuclear (light-water or pressurized) are at 12.

We’re talking complete life cycle analyses.

This is still more polluting to mine than going nuclear, even accounting for nuclear waste.

You’re right, although I’d be considering narrower cards and maybe blowers. This is a server build, not a main rig. So I’d get a GPU that’s as close as possible to a glorified encoder ad possible and pocket the power savings. I don’t have ac where I live…
