I would just like to add some cautionary anec-data: there are widespread cases in certain jurisdictions where rightsholders are known to seed the same torrents themselves, just to turn around and send love letters to leechers that connect t

Could I trouble you for the specifics of your build? I'd love to see if it would be a viable upgrade for me. I currently have a 3970x with a bunch of 3090s.

I'm not 100% up to speed with the current standing of things, but tapes (specifically the LTO technology) is still being relied on very heavily by the enterprise, both in data centers for things like cold storage or critical backups, a

I don't know why you were downvoted, I think for the right purpose tape drives are great. Used drives from a few generations back work just fine, and are affordable. I have an LTO-5 drive, and new tapes are around $30 where I am. One t

I’m pretty out of the loop on this one - could I ask you to chime in why you feel so strongly about Neuralink? I knew they were ethicaly in the gray area what with the test animal living conditions etc., but I don’t know much beyond that. I

Liposuction is actually a very risky procedure, at least in relation to its benefits. For example, fat embolisms in liposuction occur in 8-9% of patients that undergo the procedure. There are other risks that are non-trivial as well. If I h

I've been fantasizing about building an iPXE netbooting phone for a while now, glad to see that I'm not the only one. Mine was sparked by seeing some journalists in my country getting arrested recently. I think it should be doable

The patch does wear off but the main reason is because there's a finite amount of enzyme (glucose oxidase) on the filament that does the actual glucose measurement on the sensor. So over time the enzyme is "spent". That, and

A lot of infrastructure (or rather anything that involves digging) projects in Istanbul result in archaelogical discoveries. If the amount discovered is immense, some of it will make it to light of day, and a considerable amount will simply

I’m on mobile so I can’t provide you with a good quality reply with sources, but we are taught in medical school that alcohol calories are not metabolized the same way as other nutrition. In a very back of the envelope kind of way, here’s w
