Unfortunately when there’s 11 will install on an 8th as long as it has a TPM.

Ubisoft makes a beautiful game with an incredibly well-known IP. They flesh out characters and small cities with loads of detail. Then, they make the entire gameplay one repetitive takedown move and hours of driving back and forth between points.

Remote work didn’t do this; underfunding the project did. Bringing people back to the offices will only result in losing their best staff.

7th gen Intel laptops with GPUs are already really cheap

Only if they go together.

If we ever actually manage to create a artificial general intelligence probably.

Right now I personally think the worst of it is that companies and governments have called our bluff, and figured out that as a whole we don’t care enough to do anything about any of it. They can sell our data, track what and where we watch, shove ads in front of our eyeballs 24x7. Take away our right to protect ourselves legally, we’ll just click OK and keep going.

Best I can tell from looking at other sources, They started removing some of the shell integration and at least one of the apps that was shipping with Windows. I suspect now that replay is in full swing they don’t need us to talk to the chat anymore, They can directly see what data we’re getting from where.

It hasn’t hurt TV sales yet.

They put them in all the flashlights because of a combination of minimum features required and cost savings.

To keep heat at a minimum and improve power usage, LEDs benefit from being run by a driver circuit.

If you’re going to use a driver circuit you might as well allow for dimming if you’re going to allow for dimming you need to have timed button presses.

There’s only a couple of companies out there that make the circuitry that does the LED driver / lithium ion charging, so everybody just uses the same chipset.

If you want to flashlight that just turns on and off and doesn’t have a lot of features try to find one that doesn’t have lithium ion batteries. If you don’t need the lithium ion charger they’re more likely not to use one of them more extensive chipsets.

And you feel so incredibly dense every time you run into it and you can’t figure out what’s going on. The crank on my kids bike was out of whack the other week and I kept tightening it down and it kept coming back loose. I was turning the crank one way to tighten it which was pushing it against the lock nut but it needed to turn the other way to be pushed against the bearing before I tighten the lock nut down. If it was all right-handed it would have been clear what I was doing.

There are USB cables that do this now. Air capped machines need to be better about sanitizing USB.

Duck duck go is particularly bad at local searches and business data.

Back before Google gimped their own searches, Google was better at finding one-off things.

I’ve moved to SearXNG, which still makes my local searches suck, But the results are usually much better than DDG.

It’s not going to burst, it’s an incredible marketing opportunity that will invade our privacy until and unless we make it illegal. Every screen, camera, vehicle, tool will call home and report everything about you so that the company that sold you the item can make a buck.

Ancient voltmeter for children

I just watched that yesterday for the 97th time.

I have a long involved horror story that led up to me needing a root canal that I decided not to post here because it probably isnt nteresting to anybody but me.

For the most part, a root canal is kind of minor. They numb your gums where they’re going to inject a numbing agent, then they inject a numbing agent, worst case they go a little nutso and try to inject a few places in there but the pain is there and gone in 5 seconds. If at any point you feel pain they can do a better job of numbing you. Honestly, any pain caused in the numbing process goes away pretty quickly when they successfully do it.

They poke around, there’s a little drilling, some bad smell maybe heat maybe cold a lot of spitting out little sandy chunks of debris. If the tooth is still in pretty good shape they just pack it back up and you’re good to go.

If you end up needing a crown there’s a good bit more drilling a good bit more spitting a good bit more smoke. But it’s really just the same thing prolonged.

It won’t kill you, it will annoy you and it’s marginally unpleasant, The anxiety of being there in the anxiety of not knowing what’s going on is much worse than the actual procedure. Meditate, chill, roll with it you’ll be fine.

“the guardrails of our democracy barely held in 2020

The guardrails only held because of the gross mismanagement of the insurgency. If we don’t clear house on the SCOTUS and put strong voting protections in place in every state, it’s a matter of when, not if they take it over by force.

There will be financial repercussions with the car. They want to sell that data, if you’re going to deprive them of that, they’ll expect recompense.

I’m more concerned with the things we had a few years ago that are now gone, and the new fascist hand me downs that are popping up everywhere.
