That’s pretty cool but I did say ‘nearly’ :-)

Oh man if it could just earn all the accomplishments for me, that’d be sweet. /s

That’s the idea. It’s pretty worthless for home use, but for AI workloads, it might make sense, the problem is that it’s not quite scalable yet.

Essentially, if you’ve got 256Tb/s going over 200km of fiber, that means that there’s quite literally 32,000,000,000 bytes (32GB) “in flight”, living on the fiber at any period of time.

So it’s essentially it’s a revolving sushi belt of bytes, roughly as large as London (inside M25), moving at nearly the speed of light.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be the size of London. You could wind it into something about the size of a softball. Theoretically.

It’s a cool idea and Carmack is no doubt a brilliant man. It seems far fetched but it’s kind of been done before… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_rope_memory

One rich asshole called Larry Ellison.

Will there be boofing with Squee?

I tend to buy T-series laptops once they are about 5 years old, and still have tons of life left in them.

I’ll probably be looking for a T14 Gen 2 this year. Nothing wrong with my T495 'cept that my kid spilled water on it but fortunately only killed the hall sensor.

In fact, I thought the laptop was dead but I. Noticed a little corrosion on the hall sensor board, unplugged it, laptop started right up.

And it’s still got plenty of life in it to hand down to my kid for Minecraft and such.

$8 (I’m assuming Dollarydoos). At least according to the article (it’s hidden in the caption of a photo). And it cites Reddit…

Whose age do they want on the server? The admins? Whoever staged it? Lol. Sure. Jan 1 1970.

Do I need to put my birthdate onto my firewalls?

Ooh are all enterprise firewalls going to start coming with CISA filters pre-enabled? Gotta protect those kids!

Glock is a type of gun.

A Glock, on its own, is not illegal.

Lots of aftermarket Glock accessories exist, all of which are legal.

However, certain combinations of Glock and accessories are not.

That’s not Glocks problem.

Our president is fucking children, and you’re telling me I gotta verify my date of birth to run Linux, in the name of “Protecting the Children”?

Get the fuck outta here.

Isn’t this what hostnamectl is supposed to handle?

Because it’s a fucking cult and Trump’s word is about as good as fucking Moses’.

You ever see how he wrote the ten commandments? Exact same emphasis.

My 6-year old is way ahead of the game then.

I’ve got a tough decade ahead of me…

Meta Glasses on for Harambe.

noting that any use of facial recognition technology to identify the jurors was banned

For that reason alone, she should have held them in contempt and declared a mistrial before wasting anyone else’s time.

Zuck and his crew should’ve been arrested on-site for such an egregious breach of privacy and mockery of the justice system. And the next set of jurors should’ve been immediately informed of why there was a mistrial, and the very obvious danger of the defendant having even one frame of video with a jurors face in it.

Instead, he got free viral marketing.

What a fucking clownshow.

I never even heard of it before the superb owl ad. I couldn’t believe how dirty it was to tug at our heartstrings to make us pay them to spy on us.

What the fuck, America?

Everything is going to be soldered except on some mid and high-end corporate laptops within a couple generations. Those, and desktops will use CAMM. My prediction.

Torx is a superior screw though. On low-torque applications, sure, Phillips is a bit more convenient.

Reason being, it’s very difficult to cam-out or round a torx head if you are using the right size driver.

Torx are absolutely my go-to for general construction screw, when I’m using an impact driver and can zoom zoom zoom. Quite satisfying.

I think the reason torx wins in laptops and pre-built PCs is probably because they are much better for assembly-line or automated assembly. The right tools are always there and will always securely grab the screw.

If you slip with a screwdriver on a main board, you can easily destroy the main board. Making torx superior for large-scale assembly.

My dad wrecked his Abit BH6 back in the day, trying to secure the slotket for an upgrade (to a Malay Celeron 300A), due to the screwdriver slipping out. Managed to slice an SMD capacitor right in half. Good for him, even at like 55 he was able to hand-solder a replacement in and revive the board.

No.

BMWs are just pickups for assholes with office jobs.

That’s cool and all but they don’t need more than 30 seconds of sensor data to get what they need. Not storing days or weeks (or more, who knows?) of location data.

Certainly not on a device that costs tens of thousands of dollars and the hardware will remain functional for well past a decade but the software updates end in 5 years.

I remember. Massachusetts had a right-to-repair ballot question a few years ago. Auto manufacturers and dealers went HARD with that line.

Meanwhile, nobody asking “wait why is the car storing all that data in the first place?”
