This is at best extremely incomplete. Pensions are not some kind of savings account, they guaranteed a rate of return that in retrospect was impractical. They’re now in trouble because that is becoming apparent.

They guaranteed above-market returns based off of the same ever-increasing-pool math that screwed up social security. Why do you think they’re essentially nonexistent now?

Similarly my M.2 NVMe 950 pro has been in an always on machine that gets a ton of use since 2016.

I don’t understand your point. It’s not a zero-sum game where some people are forced to clean houses. If they want to not clean houses they can change career.

If you don’t pay them you’re not somehow freeing them up to realize their potential, you’re just giving them fewer customers. At least where I live a lot of professional house cleaners are small business owners.

This is incorrect, even though pirates like to trot it out. Amazon rents both:

According to MoD Twitter (what a world we live in) they are using the su57 but very conservatively. Long-range attacks from inside Russian airspace only, so when they get shot down the wreckage will land in Russia. Hardly the choice of a confident Air Force.

Does saying things like this make you feel better? Do you think that the world is a better place?

Have you looked at vscode? It supposedly supports json schema (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/json) and I’ve been thinking about trying it out.

Yeah, concerts, dive bars, festivals, sporting events. Generally, although not exclusively, older women. They always seem so surprised when I’m not flattered…

Use browser profiles, choose a different profile picture for each, then use one profile per tenant. Done.

All of that is available in M365 though, it’s just off because many large IT departments optimize for ticket volume as opposed to quality or security.

I don’t understand the reasoning here, are you saying that GoT was a tech demo? To me it made sense that as the show got further along and the situation grew more dire that it would be visibly darker as a metaphor.

No it doesn’t. Lots of different artistic schools have existed at once all through history. Just because some style was invented doesn’t mean that everyone dropped what they were doing and became surrealists.

There are people painting what would be considered impressionist painting now (literally now, I have a friend who frequently paints on sundays and texted to ask before writing this).

Those reports were about the imax version though, and I have personally seen that happen in imax theaters showing 24fps content. That’s field of view, not framerate.

Emphatically. Film looks bland. People like film for the same reason they like vinyl; it’s psychosomatic.

Do you have a citation for that? Lots of people play video games on big screens for hours at a time and don’t get motion sickness.

It’s hard to argue that it’s an intentional artistic choice if the overwhelming majority of compositions use it. It would be like saying a Monet being viewed through oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere is an artistic choice.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an upsell in Spotify, to what does this refer? Are you not paying for Spotify?

What about “make this arbitrary wav file a ringtone”. No?

I’ve had this discussion enough times to know that this is a minority opinion, but the battle of winterfell is a masterpiece. The darkness in that scene does so much to add to the tension that it’s essentially another character.

Watch it on a good screen in a dark room, and come away wishing other nighttime shots were done that way.

Edit: darkness is like a good score. It adds a ton but it doesn’t degrade well and people with potato setups won’t be able to see/hear.

Totally agree, I was responding to the twin assertions that gender is based in genetics and that there only being two is widely accepted.

This is incorrect. According to NIH there is no such thing as “biological (genetic) gender”. You’re thinking of biological sex.

And in the United States at least, the IRA contains tax incentives for all of that. The audit, the added insulation, the heat pump, and even more efficient appliances.

They’re not even less efficient if installed correctly, it just takes some thought and some insulation. And you get really good filtering with very low likelihood of mold in the bargain.

That’s one definition of fair, sure. I use a different one; how does this option compare to my other options, sans artificial constraints.

As another example of this, there’s a great mkbhd video comparing new cheap smartphones with old flagship smartphones. He does that every couple years, and it always gets a ton of “I never thought of that” comments.

How is that different than what I said? To quote myself:

> higher platform cost for AM5/DDR5

Depends what you mean. It generates more heat, it’s just more effective at getting that heat off the die and into your room.

Edit: since it’s performance per watt is higher, if you’re capping frame rates then you can get less heat out of the 4090. Like I said, depends what you mean.

And a ton of people are cross-shopping more expensive newer parts with still-available 5000 series CPUs which are much cheaper. There’s an interesting question about whether absolute performance is more important or if you should weight that against cost and/or power.

The GN benchmarks recently have done a good with explaining both the cost perspective and the performance-per-watt.

Edit: for reference, Newegg currently has the 5950x and 7950x at $500 and $600 respectively. And that’s before the higher platform cost for AM5/DDR5.

Ansible (as a proxy for infrastructure as code in general) being hard to implement is a warning that your setup is too convoluted. Cloning VMs is the high-interest unsecured loan of tech debt, and when that bill comes due it’s going to be much worse than spending a few days on some scripting.

We have very different memories, then. The official docs were really good as far back as 2006 or so, they just required you to actually read them. Sysprep was certainly a powerful tool, but if you told it not to generalize and no OoBE, it mostly just reset the SID. Most people I ran into who had issues were using some random poorly written blog posts that were really just content farming for ad money.

Huh? I’ll grant you that Microsoft was picky about being paid for their software, but they produced a ton of tools to support cloning and duplicating. License compliance was handled with audits and CALs, not some weird cabal of anti-imaging.

I feel like they know that the people who buy this are going to need TB of storage, and are going to use MicroSD cards for the media.
