Pretty sure at least one vendor was accused of cheating on 3D-Mark at times as well.

Yeah.. It's just not something that really excites me as a computer geek of 40+ years who started in the 80s with a 300 baud modem. Still working as a coder in my 50s, and while I'm solving interesting problems, etc.. almost every

I hear ya. Early 50s here too. The world feels too "coupled", so that the same sorts of things are happening everywhere, so you can't really "get away" in any sense anymore. Being "connected" is basically

I mean, I'll gladly take most of your savings, to the point you're back to struggling and feeling like every small win is life or death.. :-)

Their only meaning, EVER was "free speech for anything I want to say, no matter how egregious. But only if I agree with it - if it makes me look bad, I should be able to ruin your life permanently over it."

That's not how conservatism works. AI oligarchs are part of the "in" group in the "there are laws that protect but do not bind the in group, and laws that bind but do not protect the out group" summary. Anyone with

If it causes "no liquidity" in the open market because nvidia (tsmc) can only produce so many GPUs / month and that causes nvidia's other cards to have a street price of 2x MSRP due to lack of availability? I would say y

I much prefer the purely-mechanical washing machines for this reason.. Way less to go wrong..

Seriously? After Elon bought it, you haven't heard of one bad thing about working there?

Yeah, companies are like that - they'll lie and pretend to be "the good guys" at the start, right up until they're not and change their motto to something besides "don't be evil". As far as I can tell, it&

Got a free echo dot (not sure they're even supported anymore?) a long time ago through some promotion. Hooked it up with a separate account to let the kids play music that we uploaded on-demand. Then, they took away the "play user

I can often do that, but the biggest lament with the spouse is the easy returns on Amazon. You often have to pay for shipping to return an item and even then, only with an RMA and / or 15% restocking fee, while (if you have Prime), fre

I seem to recall a few different "if we get this many signed up" flyers (more East Bay than South) trying to organize something along those lines - maybe the name was Compass? Also try Sonic and see if they have anything for you.

I'm guessing there are surveillance features (I don't know) and companies put up with it for that reason.

Do you have an explanation for the obviously wrong answers in simple examples shown here?

Not when they've been promoted as "woke" for years.. There's no way there's huge pent-up unmet demand for EVs in red states..

Not me - it's work mandated. Not my wife - her school board mandates it.

Agreed. Would much rather pay $100-200/year for ad-free OS / productivity software that is patched and secure and doesn't sell my data. Alas, very people put that high a value on their privacy.

I know about ross-tech, etc. and the "official" reason for it (I've been an enthusiast for 35 years). It's my wife's car who will not stand for any mods (she doesn't even shift into sport mode) so it would be w

I agree with that, more or less. Just wish it was more commonly doable outside of going to a chrysler dealer stuck in the 70s. Had to take our newer FCA van there for a head-rest recall. They insisted on a huge inspection to approve it, the

> These pastors are reciting dogma instead of learning. But isn't that more or less the point? I was raised in that tradition (evangelical) and the more you dig, the more you find the "simple stuff" isn't quite so 100

The mention of "could barely ssh in" reminds me of a situation in grad school where our group had a Sun UltraSparc 170 (IIRC) with 1GB HD and 128 or 256 MB of RAM, shared by maybe 8 people in a small research group relating to par

I couldn't believe it when my wife's '16 GTI (base) needed a new battery, and I realized for non-base models, the BATTERY is coded and needs dealer programming to be replaced. Our '08 Caravan had the ABS module die, and

Same here. I left my native country (family chose to move) when I was 8. By 12 or 13 I was probably more fluent in English than the original, although I continued to read, etc. I can still read, think a bit, help my family with duo lingo, b

Wait - it's $2000 just for a mattress cover? You still need to spend $1k+ for frame + mattress?
