- Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0 5 days ago:
Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a controller with more than 15 ports anyway. Usually looking through the device manager (or lspci) there are multiple USB controllers on a motherboard (mine has 4 for example) so theoretically you could do 60 ports. Also what can do you about chaining to hubs? Since technically the spec lets to chain up to 127 devices.
But the bigger question is, what in the world are you doing that’s requiring 15 ports.

Hands down the Sovereign class for me too. First time seeing it in First Contact on the big screen was so damn amazing.

Is that the inverse of shitting dick nipples?
- Comment on Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote? 1 week ago:
Good points. A few thoughts in the interest of discourse.
Because that what terms are for…
But even cars and other things have lemon laws, and bait and switch is illegal. Term shouldn’t be the be all, end all
Elections cost taxpayer money
Valid point there, which is why I was suggesting that there should be a higher barrier to it occurring, not the same level as a vote. Basically it has to be egregious
Changing leadership interrupts things…
Don’t agree with this one. This is the same argument that has kept senators in congress for decades with no term limits. Representative democracy was supposed to be rotational in spirit. Career politicians are an oxymoron. Also the new guy being worse is a bit of a “whataboutism”. A higher barrier to recall would help the constant switching.
… brain damage makes people conservative.
Truth.

Did he think it looked cool or something?

Why? If you’re at a business conference the understanding is that you’re networking with people in your field and you may not be able to remember everything about everyone. Why not be armed with information to help drive conversations and interactions.

That last goomba really did a number on him.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 1 week ago:
I’ve always been of the opinion that AR glasses could actually be really cool if done right. Imagine being at a conference or mixer and seeing a persons name and part of their LinkedIn pop up next to them, or be at a sporting event and have stats pop up for the specific player, or your own personal instant replay. Or being at an art museum and have history of the art and artist pop up.
But instead, we get it for seritipitous surveillance and feeding the AI slop machine…

Bad phrasing. But that the spread boobs looks ugly or tacky. Not that the person is ugly.
- Comment on Makes you think 🤔 🦵☕️ 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard a couple girls say the one on the right is ugly. I have yet to see a guy say the same. My SO was one of them and could not understand why I still liked it and thought it looked good.

Isn’t this most horror movies? “Oh I’m going off alone”, “let’s check this really dark and creepy area”, “let’s go find the source of that errie noise!” As that all drop one by one.

Given that he turned it down for Wild Wild West, use that as a basis.

I should call her….
- Comment on misleading cover 5 weeks ago:
Ouch. Seriously, what was he thinking with that cover. Or the artist for that matter. Should have shopped it out to at least one friend and asked “based on the cover, what do you think this is about?”
I mean the name literally has “The Staff” in it!
- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 1 month ago:
Even worse. We have what’s called MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) and the “Suggested” part does a lot of heavy lifting. Two crazy examples
- Car dealers will add a “dealer markup” sometimes in the tens of thousands range above MSRP if a car is in demand
- Nintendo actually threatened to pull their products from Amazon (I think) because they dared to go under the suggested price (more like mandatory)
Basically it’s a free for all where the consumer is saddled with trying to find the best deal, if there is one.

Fair, but the ship in question was the Carnival Encounter.

Carnival…. luxury? I have never seen those two words so close together in any sentence. Carnival is one step up from Margaritaville at Sea.

Actually I pulled out the exact same product I have sitting here on my desk as I was debating selling it and wondering what the price was. I wasn’t trying to do a full market analysis.

DDR4 has gone up almost 100% since October. Since there are still plenty of boards that use DDR4, when DDR5 got pinched, everyone rushed to shore up their exiting DDR4 systems. Also as another poster said there are still new boards being sold with DDR4 support. It’s cascading.
