It's not like the laptop generates any heat once you turn it off. It's more like its not vented out and is absorbed by other components that normally do not get warm. The total heat is not any greater.

Not true. Pretty much the only thing that is in "ruin" is the old defense ministry building which is kept that way for the current governments propaganda purposes.

Based on my experience with my iphone, I have a suspicion they've optimised somehow for people having fatter fingers. I've noticed that sometimes the auto correct assumes I mean to press a character next to the one I wanted.

The only country where it is actually fairly simple is Canada, because Canadian banks already have the infrastructure to automatically tattle on you to Uncle Sam and the IRS.

That is an excellent way of thinking about them.

For anyone unfamiliar, OP is referring to the Kurt Vonnegut novel which has a fictional state of water (ice-nine) that immediately freezes all other water it comes into contact with into more ice-nine.

Edit: I committed a sin and didn't mention the title: Cat's Cradle.

I think there is a happy middle ground where they are still required to be easily provided.

I'm thinking about avoiding situations such as when huawei used to provide copied Nortel manuals for their knockoff/IP-theft equipment.

Thank goodness.

Just curious, did you experiment with different GCs?

This describes me. I was playing WoW Classic with a close friend and regular WoW with a guild doing scheduled raids. Basically the day it all went down I disabled my account and uninstalled the bliz client. It was so weirdly easy to let go of it for some reason.

Not only are you 100% correct, but anyone thinking otherwise has the luxury of not being born poor or a minority based on how deaths are working out in first world countries.

I've always considered the last Roman vs Persian war the first world war. It lasted nearly 30 years, saw action, territory changes, and troop movements from Western Europe, through Africa, and the Middle East.

At the onset the Eastern Romans still held onto small portions of Western Europe all the way to Syria and Egypt, meanwhile Sassanid Persia stretched all the way to modern Afghanistan. By the end of the war, both states had their demographics depleted from war, changing the world forever and allowing for the rise of Islam.

You had the formation of coalitions led by the "super" powers of the time, with the Romans having Armenians, the Turkic Khanate, and a subset of Arabian nomads in their corner, while another set of Arabians, the Avars, and the Slavs were with the Persians. All the meanwhile you had opportunistic factors like the Visigoths in Spain.

There was even a civil war on the Roman side during all of this.

Anyways I find this part of history super interesting and it would make Game of Thrones look like child's play.

I agree with you 100% but I'll try to condense what I think is the biggest hurdle for buy in. People want "their" car to be smart, they don't want "our" roads to be smart.

I'm generalising but I hope you get what I'm saying.

I'm not sure why this is news. Yersinia pestis (the plague) first showed up in the 540s AD in the form of the Plague of Justinian. In fact the plague occurred just as Justinian's armies were over extended reconquering the western portion of the empire, essentially dooming the empire in the long run due to its diminished demographics.

She verbal insulted me and then told me to justify why I think I could work at Okta. The whole thing felt like a giant bait.

I also interviewed at Okta and one of the first interviewers started the session by insulting me. Like full stop, insulted me. I threw the rest of the interview and enjoyed the free lunch.

Oh damn you are correct. Okay, then I don't understand the continued use of Vega unless RDNA2 doesn't scale well to low voltage yet.

The crunch for space at TSMC must be much worse than we realize for AMD to still use Vega which is made at GlobalFoundries.

With that said, this is some impressive logistical and supply chain juggling on AMDs part.

Not really. Our first attempts at universal healthcare involved general strikes from doctors and the government standing its ground. Some of the most important legislation and infrastructure in Canadian history was done under minority governments have to work with other political parties.

I would say it would it comes down to a much healthier government with more churn and not two different flavours of the same political party. I only found out this year that in certain states the ballots contain options "Vote all Democrat" or "Vote all Republican". Enshrining political parties like that into an electoral process reminds of the Soviet Union.

Don't electric motors have their full torque at 0 rpm

Not to mention, that AMD's IO / Memory controller has a whole ARM CPU on the same die for handling their platform security.

AMD already licenses ARM. Ryzen CPUs have an on die ARM CPU for handling part of their platform security.

As someone who works on open source AGPL'd products it is pretty obvious to me what is going on. He has someone sniffing around to buy the entirety of the intellectual property. He wants to cash out.

In Canada: Grade 10&11 business classes that involved project management, marketing, budgeting, technical skills tracking numbers with spreadsheets, and just some general accounting principles.

It doesn't exactly overlap with what you are saying, but it doesn't leave you an idiot either. Plus in Canada a lot of the taxation and investment vehicles are much simpler giving a lower barrier of entry.

The only tech company that my grandparents from the old country could name is Microsoft. I think there is definitely a skewed perception from the commentators living in USA/CAN.

Putting responsibility on consumers, end-users, and regular people is just stupid.

Looks how COVID is playing out in the western world where our governments are making "suggestions" and preaching "personal responsibility".

If people cared about the environment they would vote in governments that would regulate devices that don't have removable batteries.

Except that lots of laptops have hardware based root of trust, encryption, and security management using industry standards.

It's apple that does something exotic, breaking industry standards, and then calls what should be standard by some new name for marketing reasons. Same with how lots of people think a "retina" display is some wonderful apple invention and not just a standard samsung panel.

How did you get the information that apple devices resist state-level actor threats?

Repeatedly state actors have broken into iphones and icloud accounts, and apple laptops are frequently the first devices to fall in the Pwn2Own contests.

While not EHRs, I have experience working in the EMR field, and it absolutely was a race to the bottom, vendors undercutting each other, and physicians being surprised that the cheapest vendor or product they went with turned out to be total trash.

Spring Boot makes working with Spring Framework and managing your IoC/DI much nicer.

Why would you assume he is deploying to a prod environment that lives in WSL2? That's a ridiculous assumption.

This individual clearly develops and builds with WSL2 and ships to to Ubuntu VMs or as Ubuntu based containers to some orchestration engine.
