I don’t know if I ever would have gotten circumcised if it was my own choice, but one thing I’m glad for is it’s damn easy to keep clean.

The problem is, most people can only afford one vehicle (per adult, sometimes household) as such, they shop for something that will meet their edge cases and not their “90% of the times” cars. Annoyingly is also why you see hesitation for EVs.

Rather than saying “I can just rent a truck for the 1 day a year I need haul something” (and most likely would be cheaper), they think “well what if I need to haul something? Then what?”

Not saying that’s right, but edge cases are usually what drives their decisions.

Hahaha. That’s your own damn fault. Close some tabs, and use bookmarks.

My point was more about forced airflow, whether it be the movement of the car (less use of energy, as you’re using the motion of the air to provide airflow) or if you’re sitting still you have those fans, which are a power draw. In the case of a DC, you’d always have to have a fan to do what a car does passively. So that increases, cost, energy use and complexity.

Most DC builders are avoiding closed loop systems already as they’re more expensive.

However, radiators in your car are also effective due to a constant airflow over them as they are moving. Datacenters don’t move, so what will help that transfer?

16GB, I have other systems on 8GB that are also fine.

Honestly I’m running Windows 11 Enterprise and I haven’t seen any of the shit people complain about. I have Telemetry turned off via a GPO (something Pro and Home don’t get), I didn’t get copilot shoved down my throat and my updates don’t crash my system

Name and shame. Is it a national brand or is it a local exotic type one?

Says the company charging a minimum of $10/mo to play online (Game Pass) when you can do it for free (with the same game) on the PC.

“Features a ‘Single Player Experience’ at launch”

wtf does that even mean. Was there a possibility it would be launched without the story or campaign? If so, that implies that online was their primary target and they just threw a story in there to prevent people from hating it.

Also why is it a “single player experience” and not, oh you know, the game itself. Sadly that phrasing uses enough weasel words that it makes me think that Online is the first-class citizen and the story is just a tacked on afterthought.

Needless to say I’m waiting for the game to come out and some further reviews before committing to anything.

I’ll wait for a trainer to come out. Love that I can do that and import GTA:O assets into the single player mode.

Think of the visible spectrum of light. If you were to mix a 30% shade of white with a 30% shade of white, you get…. A 30% shade of white.

Now just switch that coloring to the UV end of the spectrum and it’s the same thing. You’re not layering it realistically, you’re basically just mixing it together and the result is still the same “color” you started with.

It’s more than just the cul-de-sac. Look at Bose’s comment above about being blocked from the shopping center by everyone having their own fenced in yards. Even if it’s a straight street, adding yards just increases distance and spreads things out further requiring cars.

The problem is the cul-de-sac, not mass transit. There’s a mistaken belief in America that the “dream” means having a single family house with a large yard. If we were to move more to mixed use land plots that include condos/apartments, as well as retail it would all become a moot point.

Why does everyone need a yard? Or for that matter, why are so many cul-de-sacs and neighborhoods built and not mixed use?

The ones that annoy me are “this is the 2027 Canyonero!” and it’s obviously an AI generated car. At this point I have a couple channels I can rely on and block or ignore the rest.

Can you use your PS5 as a general OS if you want? Do you have as large of a library as you do on steam?

Stereotypes exist for a reason… when I stayed in Hong Kong, I got a room at a local chain for a night and my feet were hanging a good 3” off the edge of the bed (I’m only 6’). While walking through the city, I was a good head taller than everyone else there.

Had to get on our developers as our main website was over 50MB on load. They hadn’t optimized any images and were using size tags to resize a 4K image down to a thumbnail.

They are there to protect…

The moment AGI is achieved it’s going to be a glorious destruction of society. Companies will lay off people and replace them with AGI and completely ignore the fact that no one will have money to buy anything. What we’re seeing now is just a fractional microcosm of what will happen.
