Thank you for all the context so far! That Tide factoid is darkly humorous. The selling it back to stores part makes me think of The Wire, Omar stealing a heroin shipment from Prop Joe and then selling it back to him: https://y

It just blows my mind that anything below, say, $75 is locked up at all. I don’t think I’ve ever seen food items locked up in Europe, aside from genuine Parmesan, Iberico or expensive alcohol, and even then not consistently. Usually even th

Could you name a similar-sized city that has the same qualities as yours?* I’d love to learn, because I’ve mostly gotten the impression that the smaller an American city is, paradoxically the less walkable/bikable it gets due to lack o

I wonder if a 7600 XT is a cut-down 7800 XT then, because both normal and XT variants of the 6700 and 7700 only have 12GB VRAM. Nonetheless, great info. Sounds like it might be the budget inference king!

AMD Radeon series ≥6800 & ≥7800 have 16GB VRAM too.

To me the magic is in generating things that would have had too much right issues or would not have been economically viable. A series that is a variant of the stories of “The Wire”, but taking place in the Harry Potter universe? Coming rig

Yeah, I personally have Retbleed and Downfall mitigations disabled, the rest thankfully doesn’t severely affect my CPU performance. Appreciate sharing the gist though!

Also, a good chunk of these vulnerabilities (Retbleed, Downfall, Rowhammer, there's probably a few I'm forgetting) are either theoretical, lab-only or spear exploits that require a lot of setup. And then the leaking info from some

Uber disrupted taxis because taxis were a sleazy experience, with dirty old cars, “broken” meters and rude drivers that tried to get you to pay extortionate prices if they knew you were in a pinch. Stop trying to venerate the taxi industry,

For some inexplicable reason Dell has chosen to mark the button as "mute mic" (mic icon + X). So if the LED on the keyboard is lit up, the microphone is off , or rather, the microphone muting is on on. Brilliant design.
