That, and also each Pi keeps getting less and less about being a cheap, low power single-board computer, and more about impressive raw performance numbers: Pi 1 got a sysbech single-thread score of 68. Pi 5 cpu benchmarks 600 times higher.

Witcher 2 Nordic Edition back in 2011. My Steam account is 21 years old :)

It’s much better when you take into account that to get gasoline, you have to refine crude oil first. That process alone uses electricity an EV could directly use instead - somewhere from 5-11kWh/gallon from what I can find, which is enough for roughly 15-33 EV miles - not to even mention the energy cost comparison for the whole extract - transport - refine - transport chain of gas.

Windows 11 has a minimum ram requirement of 4GB. 32-bit Win 10 required 1GB, 64-bit 2GB. You won’t be doing much of anything with that little RAM, but they will boot and “work”.

Imagine how fast our computers could perform if modern coders programmed like they did in the '90s and earlier.

And as someone that has spent countless hours shaving bytes and bits off microcontroller code to fit functionality to few KB of storage and optimizing routines to shave off a few cycles from loops, it’s kinda sad to think about it. Today you do the same things by running Python code often under a full blow Linux distro…

You can, if you allow personalized ads.

Not that I believe for a second not allowing them changes a single thing, they just don’t show it.

It is if you compare it to a regular controller, but from what it offers - touchpads, back buttons, hall effect sticks, gyro, full remappability etc - it’s more comparable to something like the PS5 Edge and those are almost twice the cost.

At this point selling PCs without ram & storage is starting to sound like a reasonable thing. Especially as they claim it’s “upgradeable” as one of their major selling points and it uses standard DDR4 ram and NVME SSDs, so many people interested have spares from old builds collecting dust.

Got bought up Branch, and the original dev left when they refused to open source it as promised.

Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Golden Delicious weren’t enough?

I’m sorry you look so old. I do too, I basically never get carded, and really never did. My friend that’s actually a year older than me still gets carded every single time, and he’s 36.

At the core it’s just a website, if you are able to get online to require an age check, you’ll be able to access the system to generate the tickets - aka, electronically signed certificates.

the app works on any device – phone, tablet, computer, you name it. -https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/da/statement_26_817

[EDIT] Oh, and the phone app should AFAIK, work offline, kinda in the same way a 2FA code app does.

And I tried to simplify how the system works for you, as you apparently don’t know anything about it all. Reading an article that doesn’t explain it is hardly going to help. Here’s the actual full statement the article is badly referencing.

And here’s the diagram straight from the EU design documentation.
Steps 1-2 are “You show your ID only to the central authority, which is your government.”
Steps 3-4 is “They then issue you a ticket that says “we verify this dude is 18””
Steps 5-8 is “and you give that to the website.”

Note especially step 3 - “The link between the user and provider is cut”. After that point, the provider can only tell the website that the ticket it valid, it cannot tell who it belongs to. So the website doesn’t know who you are, and the provider doesn’t know what website you are accessing. All they have is “Is adult: True.”

You show your ID only to the central authority, which is your government. Who gave that ID to you in the first place.

They then issue you a ticket that says “we verify this dude is 18”, and you give that to the website.

They fucked around and found out, and got embarrassed.

But if you aren’t running the newest Call of Warfare: Modern Creed 7 at 4k 144fps with a computer that costs almost as much as a used car, you can’t call yourself a real gamer!

Although by stopping users right after the search with a scraped LLM answer, they won’t go to other sites like they used to which could serve google ads for them, resulting in less money. Not to even mention the long term issue that with no more traffic or revenue, the websites the AI uses for information will die, making the AI useless.

“they simply sold the older, less pure gold bars in New York for what they were worth in U.S. dollars as gold prices were reaching all-time highs, then pocketed the cash and bought bars that met their updated weight and purity standards in Europe, as prices conveniently pulled back.”

It’s good to know that Trump won’t do something if he needs the permission of Congress for it first. I’m sure he follows those rules very well, and would never break them.

Speaking of that, has anyone seen the official declaration of war and authorization of military action against Iran anywhere? The Congress seems to have misplaced it somewhere. Must have gotten lost in the mail.

Even worse, she might have also done the terrible crime of wearing something tan and that would have seriously damaged the reputation of the United States.

So basically DLSS for spy satellites. Kinda neat.
