Even the mythical "average user" uses tons of processing. Just "a few tabs" is like having several large applications open.

Trumpism is all about maximizing tariff gain/benefit. Economically and politically he may not have room to do more without crippling the USA. The EU is already dealing with tough tariffs from the USA. Most of the "500% tariffs&quo

The war on terror has killed millions of civilians, mostly women and children. Brown University lists excess deaths from the WoT at 4 or 5m. The USA has destabilized many countries and performed coups. It invades and goes to war for its own

Both those things are like the root account to one's data. If there is a hypervisor backdoor (or if your vendor is told by the government to stop giving you updates or sell you product, or even pull your keys) then its game over. DB&#x

I'm autistic with delayed sleep-wake cycle. For autistics DSWPD is pretty common. There's just no fixing that for the vast majority of us, we're just expected to follow strict schedules and if we are underslept, too bad for u

Physically exhausting yourself isnt a solution. Its tangential to the real issue. Its a bit like suggesting you can solve anxiety caused by trauma by drinking large amounts of alcohol everyday. No, instead we should be treating trauma. Its

AMD was being pummeled by Intel during the time Jim was there and was only the giant we know today when Jim left. AMD did this, mostly, by x64 server market. So AMD did what it could to get around intel's and apple's monopolies. I

As someone who has run email servers, I can guarantee you none of this is theater. If you remove all the anti-spam backing, email becomes a useless service. At least the kind of 'accept mail from anyone' smtp thing we all decided

Did Apple try to get into this market? Their device is fairly ridiculous compared to where VR seems to have been going all these years: cheap nearly disposable headsets like the Oculus. Which I believe is half the price of the original HTC

The fridge box is fairly insulated. Temps in my home are consistent all over plus or minus a couple degrees. I think you've overstating the case a lot here. Even with the oven running it doesnt seem to affect the fridge too much. Heck

Brick is now slang for a lot of fail conditions that aren't classically 'bricked.' This has become really common I've noticed. Honestly, this ship has sailed and isn't even worth fighting anymore. Its like Xerox ask

Honestly, Jony Ive/Steve Jobs minimalism is as much as a bust as it is a boon. It sort of becomes this unquestionable corporate religion and corporate terror. Imagine being able to speak this truth to power at Apple. I imagine its just

Does it have any wiring? I've lived in old homes with coax for cable and those can be used with moca adapters to do ethernet. They can do 2.5gbps too.
