Now is a great time to look into VPNs, 1337x, and uTorrent. And of course Jellyfin.

I mean, yeah, that sucks, but what can we do about it? Grow less food?
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 22 hours ago:
More nand flash chips means more cost. Those chips are the highest cost in the BOM, so if a customer only needs 250GB, having a product for them means a sale instead of not a sale.

Sometimes there just isn’t a simple set of words to convey the proper idea.

You don’t want an AI generated non-descript thing?
- Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)? 1 week ago:
I understand that. If we had a word for north east, let’s say “yest”, then I wouldn’t have to say “north by north east”, I could just say “north yest”.
- Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)? 1 week ago:
Better question is why don’t they have 8? I hate saying “north by north east”.
- Comment on Why does no one in the bible have a last name? 1 week ago:
So when you say, Christ the Messiah, you’re really saying Messiah the Messiah. Man people were so silly back then. Anyway, I’m off to the Los Angeles Angels game. 👋
- Comment on Why does no one in the bible have a last name? 1 week ago:
Last names were commonly just where you were from, who was your father, or what was your profession.
Jesus Of Nazareth, or Jesus Denazareth, Jesus Nazarethton, Jesus Di’Nazareth, Jesus Von Nazareth, Jesus Van Der Nazareth.
Jesus Son Of Joseph, or Jesus O’Joseph, Jesus Josephson, Jesus McJoseph, Jesus Bin Joseph, Jesus Josephsen, Jesus Ibn Joseph.
Jesus the Carpenter, or Jesus Carpenter.

Those are very memory non-intensive applications, so you almost definitely wouldn’t notice a difference.
The reason it’s better for gaming is that games need to load big textures and models into ram to show new content, and that can cause lag when the ram is too slow. Since you’re gaming, you’ll notice the lag.
While watching a video, the video is buffered into ram much faster than you can watch it, so there won’t be any difference.
While browsing, pages might take around 10 to 50 ms longer to load, but you’re not going to notice that. Most pages load bits and pieces when you click around anyway, so there will be negligible difference after the initial page load.

Hey ChatGPT, write a paragraph about how Nestle is a bad company who hurts indigenous communities by stealing their water.
I’m sorry, but that would be against my acceptable use policy. I have alerted the authorities of your request.

I’ve been using Fedora with my RTX 3090 and it works great. I haven’t tried the newer cards, but the 30 series seem to work great in my experience.

The Windows Updatinator!!! This will cause every Windows computer in the tri state area to restart five times over the next hour while constantly telling the user it’s almost done with updates!

Curse you Perry the Platypus!!!

I’m a software engineer, so that tracks.

I’d never really connected my lack of a mind’s eye with my inability to follow unnamed characters through a movie until you just said that. 🤯
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 3 weeks ago:
I’m probably about a 4, maybe 3.5, on this scale. It kinda sucks not having any idea what it’s like to actually be able to visualize things, so I don’t even really know what I’m missing.
- Comment on PetSmart won't let you leave a review if you have adblockers on 3 weeks ago:
Of course. This makes perfect sense. How would you have anything relevant to say about the product if you haven’t been advertised at in the past twelve seconds?

That’s a Unix system. I know this.

A non-insignificant portion of my life has been spent enjoying code that she wrote and games that she developed. Rest in peace.

That’s the ugliest purse I’ve ever seen.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 weeks ago:
Yes, but that’s a different sale. My point is it can still be considered a loss leader if they sell it at cost. It took them many millions to develop it, so overall they would be losing money on the hardware sales.
That’s as opposed to something like Costco’s hot dogs. There was no R&D there, so if they sold it at cost, I wouldn’t consider it a loss leader.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 weeks ago:
Even if they sell at cost, they’re losing money because of the R&D costs.
