Wait, is that a random number, or the actual scale of the power draw we’re talking about?

'Cause that’s fuck-all when we’re talking about industrial level power draw.

Not important enough to me at this point to spend the time changing over. Windows 10 does what I need it to and still gets security updates. When one of those two factors changed, then it will be worth my time to change over.

Microsoft has made the choice very easy for me. I still have an i7-7700k that works just fine. But that’s “too old”, so when Windows 10 hits end of life, I’ll be switching over to Linux.

the ads are minimally intrusive — that is, highly relevant and engaging — they should not detract from the overall user experience

In what universe do ads, no matter how “relevant and engaging”, ever not detract from the overall experience?

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

Yes and no. The reason companies are hiring them is for the image of impartiality they bring. If your firm gets a reputation for just always siding with the company, regardless of what actually happened, that image gets destroyed.

Plus, I’m willing to bet that there’s not a whole lot of recurring business from individual companies for this type of service. That would kind of defeat the purpose of being the “neutral third party”.

The fuck is BIFL?

Not sure if Fusion360 supports Linux. Only other choice I can think of is FreeCAD.

Manufacturers of what? Selling and replacing car parts is a much different proposition than trying to replace semiconductors inside an earbud.

Are we using “dudes” in the non-gendered sense? Because I’ve noticed this type of behavior with women far more often than with men.

Oversized fan. A lot of toaster ovens already were able to do convection cooking, just need to move more air and provide a basket to call it an air fryer.

As a side note, I highly recommend a good toaster oven to everyone. It heats up so much faster than the normal oven, and when reheating things, it doesn’t ruin the texture like a microwave. And I don’t have to store separate toaster and air fryer.

Which shouldn’t be allowed in relation to consumer goods and services.

Ok, so the headline is a bit clickbait-y. It’s not not everyone who ever watched the video that they are interested in, it’s one person they are trying to track down. Still concerning from a privacy standpoint, but it’s not like they are trying to say that watching the video was itself a crime.

It kind of blows my mind that forced arbitration is legal at all.

Then regulations should be put in place to ban that practice. There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.

No, because there are already locations in the world where clean grids exist. Focusing on AI use as an environmental problem is not helpful. Focus on the source of the energy, not it’s uses.

I don’t think any data centers would be using ground water for cooling. They’d likely be on closed loop systems. And the power draw is only an issue if we decide to not fix where the grid gets its power from.

Remote start through an app I guess? At least that conceivably requires an ongoing cost on their side to justify it (although I’d be willing to bet there’s a 10,000% markup on it). Will be annoying if they are using a 3G chip for the data connection and 3G gets shut down like 2G did.

As for the AWD thing, it’s the coupe part that’s hard. The Germans all make a coupe with AWD available, Lexus has the RC, and that’s about it (since the challenger is end of production), other than supercars that are out of my price range.

Toyota is doing the subscription thing too? I didn’t hear about that one. I only heard about BMW, Mercedes, and now Audi.

If Toyota/Lexus is out, then I guess my plans of buying an AWD coupe as my next car are truly dead.

The 2G network will continue for a long time to come

It’s already gone in North America. China is aiming for 2025 (or already gone, depending on which Google result I click), and and it was gone in Japan a long time ago. Nissan sells more cars in each of those three markets alone than all of Europe. And 2G is already gone in many European countries. It makes no sense for them to keep it just for the UK market.
