Well, no, this is what you want to compare (15W, latest generation): https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-1265U... Though it does use TurboBoost up to 55W apparently. I don't know about the M1. If any

Yes, I did read all I could about it. Some research does say it could act on GABA receptors indirectly, but most of it does not support that theory. I can only say for sure the effects are very similar to alcohol's positive ones at low

Phenylethylamine works somewhat like that: take 2-3g and don't drink. If you do, you'll heavily regret it as it will fuck up your blood pressure to the point of getting all red and passing out. Not safe at all, but it did work for

I forgot to add that before 2015-ish, I've not heard this kind of stuff from these relatives. And their main hangouts are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, the usual suspects. I believe in their mind, they're getting "the

Recently been seeing, uh, changes in some of my relatives. First Covid denial, then antivaccine in general (wtf), now that and war denial (yes, "there's no war"). Otherwise pretty smart people, but somehow they fall for the d

I don't think people realize how shit Russians' lives are. They've got like 5 cities that are modern, anywhere outside those is literally water well and outhouse poor. Supporting this retarded regime is spitting in everyone&#

Hah, the equipment doesn't matter if your military are a bunch of untrained dumbfucks. But yeah, NATO is helping a lot. There's no shortage of volunteers in Ukraine (and abroad), the forces are full, they're not accepting peo

Why would you willingly choose to believe a dictator?

I think the lesson is to never have one small group in power for more than a decade. Which is a major part of why elections and term limits exist. Putin may well have been more open minded, he just got pissy lately and he has a lot of power

Everyone saying this ignores the nuclear arsenal. Which Russia constantly reminds everyone of, to the point of no one taking them seriously anymore. If anyone decides to invade Russia, they better be super sure about their anti-ICBM capabil

If only they realized that if the whole population is richer, their "allowed" portion can go sky high :D

It's sad, but few people these days put in the minimal effort to set up a forum. Or sign up for one. Reddit is the easiest free way, but you pay the price in the end, and it's very high.

by jotm 5y ago
That was possible before with Google and even Reddit's own search. And nutters will manually scroll through your history anyway to find something to shit on, it's not like it's private.

You can't comment or even view some subreddits without verifying your email, though. But creating an email address takes 5 minutes at most.

Search was great in 7. Taskbar search - perfect. Then they did something to fuck it all up. In Windows 10, I get different results for the same search in Taskbar (that's how I launch everything, so if I type "Note" and open N

Yeah, you can fix everything yourself. Up until you get tired of fixing and just use a normal OS that isn't breaking something random every update. To be honest, if you "freeze" an installation (i.e. never update anything), i

The only problem I ever had with KDE is it randomly hogging the CPU. On different machines, same problem. And not just for a minute, but 10+. Still not sure what the reason was, that was Fedora 24 to 30 and some random Kubuntu between (yep,

I think hyper optimizing could be good for growth, but it can very well cost too much. I often look at how Aliexpress accepts less popular payment methods and they ship anywhere. US and EU businesses straight up refuse to do one or the othe

No, but you could realistically make a small Stirling engine that would act as a heatsink for your processor while generating electricity. Would be noisy as hell, but quite a cool project haha

The most impressive part here is the "decompression" imo. Computers are already being used to do stuff that's more or less similar (creating apps, 3D models, pictures, videos from code) but the speed at which a human brain do

Psilocybin has been in the news lately, but I'd say many drugs that cause a significant, immediate and forceful shift in thinking can work for depression. From my own experience making and taking a simple drug, just experiencing good t

Yeah, just use throwaway emails everywhere. Though I'd say people will assume you're poor at "online presence" or something before assuming you don't want to be contacted.

The research is there, some promising results, too. It just never gets to the people who need it. OK, maybe it will in another 20 years. "What if the side effects are bad, we need more testing". How about you let those who suffer

Well, it can be extremely useful for some (or a lot) of people. If you ever used Google to find solutions to some obscure problems on some blog you never heard about, you know what I mean. Doesn't need to be formatted or written well,

Huh, can they not just block the malfunctioning chiplets and sell them as cheaper models with fewer cores/cache? Sort of what nVidia and AMD did with their GPUs. AMD has kinda been focusing on the mid and high end range with Ryzen, whi
