Andor was pretty confusing in that way. Pretty on-the-nose anti-corporate messaging from Disney, of all organisations. If I had to nominate a current company to "be" Pre-Mor, it would probably be a toss-up between Amazon and Disne

Thinkpad build quality is definitely on a slow decline. There's a lot more plastic casework in a new model than in a T440, say. They don't feel completely rigid in hand any more. And that's before the loss of a removable, upg

I still find it hard to believe that such a device can be less that $1000, considering how many parts have to be designed, how many cutting edge components there are in there, the depth of the supply chain and the manufacturing quality. Mod

I think it's mostly that you get a lot more mechanical advantage when tightly rolling than stacking flat, which allows a lot more air to be squeezed out. Once rolled, it's also easier to prevent it expanding: you just have to stop

I basically agree, but more than anything I appreciate the big "FW: FW: FW: RE: FW: WG: FW: A computer expert reviewed Windows 11 and this is what he found" energy. Simpler times.

If the problem is that they can't get disks or drives, you can buy an "industrial" 5.25 inch USB emulator for $250. If the problem is that the system is just that old, and that's the only criticism, that sounds like it&#

It's very clearly not stealthy, it's got solar panels hanging from it. I'm sure you could make a stealthy box, but this is not that.

I can't tell if advertising yourself as a SW Londoner and spelling "plough" with a "w" is worse than the ostentatious "SW" (it's, on average, extremely expensive even in London terms). Also if you&#x2

Register a company, say you did freelance consulting work in the gap. Can't disclose details due to NDAs, but it's fascinatingly close to the core competencies of the place you're applying to.

Most weapons do not use <10nm nodes, or can plausibly not use them. In a military context, these devices are more likely to be in research phases (like supercomputer simulations and machine learning) than built into the weapons themselve

Well, yes you don't do this two hours out, you'd need to do it some time in the 13 months they knew about it for it to work. But at the end of the day, they did the job they were paid to do and were clear about the looming impact.

I don't know why they don't want to, but a database query for "\d{2}TB SSD" with a price under $100 is surely not beyond a global top-three AI company with a half-trillion dollars of revenue.
