So I wonder: why do Threadripper motherboards support up to 2 TB of RAM, if nobody needs that?

Isn't 256GB RAM kind of limiting for this type of workstation? Or is it possible to combine it with standard DIMMs?

Now the question is: if I write a web scraper that collects data from LinkedIn, and I do it on weekend as a hobby project, but I end up with personal data of 1M people is it still a "personal or household activity"?

For me the main reason for this type of lifestyle is the fact that I dislike cold weather. When winter comes to my country, I'd rather move to Canary Islands or somewhere else where temperature is still in the 70s. Sightseeing, which I

One important thing to consider is GDPR and other privacy laws. Sometimes your contract simply disallows you bringing your work laptop to certain jurisdictions if you carry personal information on it. As far as I know even your Outlook inbo

But that's the whole point: having suburbs be livable on their own, with schools, shops, doctor offices all in walking distance. I grew up in a small (2000 people) town in Central Europe, which had all that, plus some factories where m

Not really that helpfull: if there's a camera that managed to catch the incident then it will film you before you hit someone, and you can only change the license plate after. It might make police chase harder, but they still have evid
