A day or two before hanuka and in the weeks leading up to Christmas. A mystery of timing. Very unlike previous years.

They were SSDs that plugged into graphics card slots.

M.2 is the form factor
PCIe is the hardware interface
NVMe is the protocol, requires PCIe

Every single M.2 NVMe is a PCIe card. All those "NVMe PCIe adapters" are purely electrical. Maybe some noise suppression or something but there no active conversion going on.

If you're thinking of SSD cards like the Optane ones, those were designed for enterprise. They weren't even NAND. It was a different architecture to fill the gap between NAND and RAM. it only really mattered for datacenters because low-latency and mediocre sequential speed wasn't impressive for consumer usage. Also, Intel did their typical retard thing and locked it to specific chipsets. Great for databases though.

like the GDPR.

You can't be serious. The GDPR is a bad joke that exists for the EU to use revenue from fines to subsidize their failing welfare state.

At least go with something like the "Directive on repair of goods" that may actually help a customer someday, despite it being wrapped up in "green" nonsense.

"Hey your acquisition will negatively impact the market for more than 20% of consumers, so we're just going to tell you 'no' and you can't do shit about it."

Nice on paper. Now let's try it in practice. Kamala is president. "Your acquisition is unequitable to 'marginalized' people for some reason we pulled out of our ass, so we're telling you 'no' and you can't do shit about it. And don't bother asking again, we don't like you so you're not allowed to do business anymore."

And what were the resolutions you were working at during that era?

"Hey this IDE is using 10 GB of ram and it's mostly a text editor and parser. This is ridiculous."

10GB is still absurd but in the days when those were significantly smaller, the undo stack was 1 action deep instead of infinite and you couldn't "show references" instantly in a 200 file project.

And sometimes it actually is a sort of optimization. They generically know how big the RAM pool is. They don't know what your individual CPU is capable of. So the simple approach is to cache the shit out of everything in memory to avoid having to calculate it multiple times.

Was she portrayed as sympathetic or unreasonable for those actions?

If you write a bitch character who acts like a bitch and acknowledge she's being a bitch, is that really a "modern media" moment? Or is it a realistic depiction of something that happens to men and accurately written characters?

They're probably more aware that "CEO husband" in reality means always traveling, always dealing with work, never around to give them attention.

a moment of guilty conscious

You lost me here. More believable if it's just a slip up, maybe even near-gloating, or there's something about her body that hints at her involvement. The character you've described up to that point does not care about anyone besides themselves. There's no conscience to have a moment.

Fair warning, I eyerolled watching a friend play it originally because of the background NPC demographics in that setting.

But that issue goes away fairly early on.

It's a good thing none of the organizers speak Spanish. Otherwise that one wouldn't have snuck through.

asked her AI

What does this mean? Was it one of the 4 you tried? LLMs are shit at solving anything math related because they're giant auto-correct algorithms. They don't "understand" what you're asking them to do. They're just giving you the a likely reply.

The other thing to think about is A-B testing. They may be doing things like using different versions on different people or different regions and collecting data on their interactions

Even more retarded is that the guy he was mistaken for was originally trespassed for sleeping on the property.

They went through all that effort to remove the wrong person, who was already leaving. Who, even if he had been the guy they thought he was, would have been already leaving and clearly not sleeping on the property.

There wasn't any reason to even stop him at that point other than as a stronger deterrent against sleeping on the property (which he wasn't doing) in the future.

>HOA-equivalent doesn't allow hanging any personal items in the common hallways
>THEY'RE BANNING CHRISTMAS SYMBOLS

Do these retards really? We're talking about a country that is:

  • Importing boatloads of migrants
  • Letting then rape and kill the native people with impunity
  • Imprisoning and otherwise persecuting anyone that acknowledges it
  • Trying to export their authoritarian censorship worldwide

UK leadership is perpetrating a genocide against the British people and what gets focused on? Fake-ass story about wreaths.

it’s because the monopoly of mega conglomerate corporations aren’t giving us other options anymore

Conventional thermostats are widely available and cheap. I just found a purely mechanical one at a major retailer for $19. Doesn't even have an LCD or buttons, just a lever to pick the setpoint.

What actually happens is the monopoly says, "we'll cut your rate a little bit if you stick this in your house," and then fools do it.

There's a some other possibilities:

  • Tech illiterate boomer politicians DO think they bring jobs.
  • They figure once the data centers are built, they can start extracting tax revenue from deep pockets somehow and the cost of relocation will be too high to run.
  • They think the prestige of being the center of Next Big Thing will put their region on the map. "We'll be the next Silicon Valley!"
  • They think they'll be able to get the datacenters to foot the bill of infrastructure fixes they've been postponing for decades.

But at the end of the day, you're probably right. Fat campaign contribution dangling in front of them.

Is it really child-free assholes? Or is it broken women who are so tuned into to the mainstream news-cycle that Mean World Syndrome has become their personality? Where they see a kid walking unaccompanied outside and are convinced there's 3 serial killers and 8 rapists in that bush down the road.

Granted, there seems to be a concerted effort to prove them right through migration.

It's the same point. HallucinatorBeing is right but that the examples made it seem like it has to be something out of the ordinary.

But it doesn't need to be something exotic. The problem is that rather than having even the day-to-day life experience of someone in a po-dunk town in Texas, they are consuming media. Which goes well with what CaptainTrouble said. Garbage in, garbage out.

In the past, the input was a blend of real-world experience and other artistic influences. Now the only input outside of overproduced slop that they're getting is the most minimal of life experiences. Which is why the only thing they write is petty arguments, relationship drama, and pop-culture references.

Yep. And that list is crafted to include things that will provoke discussion.

How many authentic lists do you think you'd come across that have both of these:
>goes the therapy
>eats meat

It's a deliberately balanced blend of soy and trad tropes with a dash of "i fucking love science" thrown in to hook redditors.

>can solve a quadratic equation
>knows how recursion works
"Omg, middle school math and comp sci 101 get me so hot."
