“Pay no attention to the [US government buying 10% of Intel] behind the curtain.”

Furthermore, how do you go about running cables in your home?

You watch some Youtube videos about how to do it and then you follow the instructions.

It’s going to depend a lot on the construction details of your house:

• Do you have wooden framing (common in the US), masonry (common in Europe, as I understand it), or something else?
• Do you have access to an attic or basement/crawlspace?
• Do you need to run wires on exterior walls (which means dealing with insulation), or just interior ones?

For me (wooden frame construction, accessible attic and basement), I didn’t find it to be too difficult. Is it work? Yeah, of course. But it’s not that bad, and I recommend spending the effort because having proper wall plates wtih in-wall wires is way nicer than having stuff snaking along surfaces.

LOL, it lights up when the character jumps.

Laughs in Memory: 46.84 GiB / 62.72 GiB (75%) with (probably) several hundred tabs open

There’s no real good reason that all RAM shouldn’t have been ECC since decades ago. It doesn’t actually cost much more to implement. The only reason it isn’t, as tal’s reply mentioned, is artificial price discrimination.

Also…I’m not sure that ECC is the right fix. I kind of wonder whether the fact is actually that the memory is broken, or that people are manually overclocking and running memory that would be stable at a lower rate at too high of a rate, which will cause that.

Some of it is cosmic rays, right? I think ECC is still worth it even at JEDEC speeds.

LOL, nah, Firefox isn’t that stable. If 10% of crashes were caused by bad RAM, it means 90% were still caused by something else.

(My install regularly gets a memory leak that eventually makes my system unusable, BTW. I don’t think it’s necessarily the fault of Firefox itself – more likely Javascript running in tabs, maybe interacting with an extension or something, and some of the blame goes to the kernel’s poor handling of low memory conditions – but it’s definitely not “dev humblebrag stable” for me.)

What kind of shitty-ass dorm relies on cellular connections? When I was in college, we had wired ethernet in the dorms and then wifi on top of that. Piracy was huge, in part because it was a lot of folks’ first opportunity to have a fast connection, LOL.

(Admittedly, that was at a research university that had been sitting directly on internet backbone since the NSFNET days, but still…!)

Socialism is orthogonal to democracy. You can have a socialist democracy, just like how you can have a capitalist non-democracy.

IIRC the lithography machines TSMC etc. use are made in Europe. One wonders why they don’t build fabs locally instead of selling them all to Taiwan.

“Wobbling”

I wish Lemmy supported signatures, so I could set that to be appended to all my comments.

I can only draw from my French

Est-ce que Duolingo me menti?? Il accepte les deux… (/s)

Anyway, I figured “no to this specific war” was close enough, especially since he was in fact talking in the context of a specific war.

I was under the impression that “la” could act as an article as well as helping signify gender. My mistake.

But in that case, if you don’t want to “nobble” your translation, why not go for “in [three] words: no to war” instead? Translating the math definitely seems less “wonky” to me than annotating it with a long, awkward explanation.

Could just translate it “no to the war” instead of writing an explanation.

Huh. I was expecting the strategy to be bombing the sites that would launch attacks on shipping, not to actually escort and try to defend the ships.

Personally (city dweller) a car is a time machine. I can get where I need to go mostly on a bike or my feet, but if I’m pressed for time - and that happens plenty - a car can get me there faster.

If your city were designed properly, that wouldn’t be true. Not that it was the most scientific thing in the world, but Top Gear famously demonstrated biking being faster than driving across London, for example.

Surprisingly, most people aren’t actually suicidally negligent in the absence of government regulation.

Plus, your state is likely to conveniently fail your car on its next inspection

Your who is going to do what now?

(Posted from a state that doesn’t check anything except emissions, and even then only for some cars in some urban areas.)

I’m going by the plain language of the laws. It’s the copyright cartel shysters and the judicial system biased in their favor that are making shit up.
