They fucked around and found out, and got embarrassed.

Oooh, this sounds fantastic. I’ve tried the game twice and while I loved the characters and the setting, RTwP combat just really isn’t enjoyable for me.

I would really want to know what kind of a use-case results in using a 386 or 486 computer in 2026 in such a manner that not being able to install the latest kernel updates would in any way be an actual issue.

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.

LACK was an amazing option back when they were $5 a pop though. I built my Ender 3 cabinet for like $30 total by getting four lack tables, an Ikea picture frame for the door, and EPA floor mats for walls. Four, because the filament used for printing the leg extensions would have cost more than the tables put together so I just cut them from a sacrificial table.

It’s no beauty queen, but has worked fine for years now.

Today, the tables alone would be $65.

“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.

A lot more on X (320k followers and 110k views on the latest episode). And those are the livestream platforms, I’d imagine a lot of people use something like Apple Podcasts or Spotify to listen to them afterwards.

The 5V5A supply is optional, the Pi 5 alone works perfectly fine using a standard 5V3A USB-PD supply, it just limits the maximum combined USB port current to 600mA.
But technically they are still in USB-PD spec: it’s apparently okay for a charger to support 5V5A, and a device to “prefer” to use that if it’s available. It can’t be required, but as said, the Pi 5 works with 5V3A, so it isn’t.

It’s still dumb, and they should have just used 9V3A instead and paid the dollar for the stepdown circuitry like everyone else.

If it’s anything like the solution planned in Finland, the waste is placed in copper containers, transported in pretty much bomb-proof vessels, and the facility is kilometres deep underground split into multiple separated chambers that get filled with concrete (or bentonite to be more precise) once they are full. The result is a solid block that will survive basically forever and the only thing you need to do is not go dig it back up.

Another good one is Onkalo in Finland.

With how massive of a computer science field artificial intelligence is and how much of it already is or is getting added to every piece of software that exists, a label like that would be equally useless as the California prop 65 cancer warnings.

Do you use a mobile keyboard that supports swipe typing and has autocorrect? Remember to mark everything you write as being AI assisted.

That’s exactly what Google did in Finland.

Microsoft also has a similar project.

Reminds me of how I got taught to google shit like 20 years ago before social media and SEO: don’t ask “how can I do x”, write “doing x”, as that would find you a website explaining doing the thing and not some BBS post of a person asking about it.

AFAIK, Sony doesn’t actually have memory chip manufacturing capabilities, they buy their NAND and DDR chips from companies like Samsung and SK Hynix, and simply package them in different formats or use them in their devices.
The semiconductor fabs of Sony mostly specialize in camera sensors and stuff like that.

The three best current female chess grandmasters are global ranks #123, #152, and #169. So unless the process of transitioning somehow damages your mental ability to play chess massively, there are at least 122 men that could at any point transition and become the top female grandmaster. And if there was no womens only chess championships, there would be I think… One? Female grandmaster in the entire history of chess? Judith Polgar got to rank #10. Second highest was Hou Yifan at #55.

For some other sports, back when Serena Williams was the top women’s tennis player, she lost to the man at men’s ranking #203, who said he wasn’t even playing seriously.

That’s why there are very often womens and open (and almost never mens) divisions in sports, and why trans players aren’t usually allowed in the womens one - because usually, it would be really unfair.
The open one is open, female athletes are free to compete in them. They essentially never do because they can’t qualify, but if you want to know what sports without gendered brackets would look like, it would pretty much be men only.

Diesel briefly hit 2.5€/l in Finland this week :)
