You might be interested to know that many times, packets in a TCP session take asymmetric routes across the internet. In my experience, the most common reasons for this are business rules related to cost and human error. If you think about

This is extremely passive aggressive, tell me you’re single without telling me you’re single. People’s preferences being different than yours is not a technical problem to be worked around.

This gets most of the way there, with buying a monitor instead of a TV. You just need to take the next step and get a pg42uq. OLED, super accurate color, great response time, and unfortunately the answer to the question what would modern TV

Every small business within driving distance of me seems to have Ubiquiti WiFi on their walls/ceilings. Seriously, in the businesses where they provide free customer wifi these things are everywhere.

That’s untrue, they have a mandatory declassification review date. The review can push the date back effectively infinitely through further reviews. The special circumstances, as you call them, are that the reviewer deems that information n

Except it very clearly doesn’t. At best it’s uncorrelated. AMD and Intel have open source drivers, and Nvidia doesn’t. Nvidia has a much better product. Nvidia has AMDs GPU revenue in the couch cushions near the ping pong table.

Except the exact same thing happens with AMD and their open source drivers. There are tons of AMD cards that are perfectly fine for desktop usage and will absolutely not work under Linux. It comes down to a religious belief in open source,

According to the data I’ve looked at from Spotify, the big 3 labels are about 63% of their music, Merlin (which includes some actual small labels but also things like distrokid) is about 15%, and then there’s the rest. So the majority is th

Even less than you think, because even when they type in the URL it’s into a search bar which is smart enough to correct the typos. Edit: What’s really going to bake your noodle though, is that given all the issues with various kinds of URL

Who is still using cmd.exe? I understand that there are system processes that still need it, but if you see a human using cmd in the year of our lord 2023, that’s a cry for help!

Unfortunately in the US it’s a nonstarter because of the perceived privacy issues. People cannot wrap their heads around the fact that we already have a mandatory national ID, and therefore oppose what they see as the creation of one. The c

I might give your words some weight if it wasn’t for the great big pile of upvotes on my comments. I like that reception just fine, but thanks I guess? If they have an issue they are welcome to raise it, no need to go white knighting people

Oof, looks like I touched a nerve. I’m providing a measured response to the unexamined breathless enthusiasm for mediocre writing. I’ve had to talk lots of people into reading a second sci-fi series because they started with Dune and decide

You should read the count of monte cristo, it’s in an entirely different league in terms of writing compared to Dune. The philosophy is transparent, the tactics and strategy are basically nonexistent, and the sociology is missing any kind o

That won’t work electrically, and it’d have crippling performance problems if it did. Thunderbolt is not that much bandwidth compared to gen4 x16 pcie, and there are already latency problems to boot.

That’s very incorrect. Nvidia requires that every piece of firmware along the way be updated to support it, and won’t enable it unless they are. However if they are, depending on the game there’s definitely uplift.
