They don’t have to be.
My roommate once got a keyboard with all blank key caps.
In order to punish his hubris I remapped m and n in the windows registry when he left his computer unlocked.
Good times.

That’s a no from me dog
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 1 week ago:
I mean those video players lazy load so it probably just requested the next chunk and got the “you gotta pay response” same as if you returned to a specific spot with a link after a long time.
- Comment on How customer service jobs be 2 weeks ago:
Usually understaffed and not paid enough to give a shit.
That line cooks life won’t change one iota whether you get pickles or not.
Likely they are just getting mixed up with other orders and someone else isn’t getting their pickles.

It isn’t magic but RAM doesn’t tend to just stop working. You’ll start getting reported error correction events on a bad dim before it might fail which usually means it’s replacement time.
- Comment on lemmy.world down... 3 weeks ago:
It’s still not that common to have one die. Servers have ECC memory which can get you by longer even as a DIMM starts to die. It’s also rarely run at speeds consumer RAM is run at.
The thing with server memory is when you get to point where you have hundreds of servers and each one has 12 to 24 DIMMs the chance you have a bad one somewhere increases.

So does .CA
It’s one of the advantages of the being a lot of sys admins and Linux users in this community.
You can run Lemmy pretty comfortably on used servers.
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 3 weeks ago:
The real issue and what those AI dependent companies are banking on is that they can capture a user base and when OpenAI starts to reach the end of the road with LLM improvements and moves to the extract phase it can buy these little companies to ingest their user base.
Everyone else in that space will be instantly fucked since they will now be competing directly with openai while paying their margin but that’s the bet they are making.

You know it’s a good comic when they have to explain it with the I have autism pin.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 3 weeks ago:
What if instead of a pipe to return the steam we use a freaking laser beam!
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
The majority of the steam deck SKUs were produced prior to the AI memory crunch.
These steam machines are being produced in a market where memory is 3 or 4 times more expensive.
This box will be more than a steam deck. Probably 1000 bucks or so.
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 4 weeks ago:
I do wonder if people have never met a senior in cognitive decline.
If you have you start to see the signs in a lot of the old people in Congress and the white house.
Trump can’t remember what he did last week.
- Comment on Reselling tickets for profit to be outlawed in UK government crackdown 5 weeks ago:
You think that, until you realize that live nation controls almost every venue in your city/state/country and then you start getting juiced for even smaller acts.
If they want to keep their vertical integration they should have to play by some rules.
- Comment on Reselling tickets for profit to be outlawed in UK government crackdown 5 weeks ago:
They do, that’s ticket masters entire value add for them.(Well that and the fact that they control a lot of venues).
You get mad at ticket master and not the artist.

I’m pretty sure interest only mortgages already exist in some places.

Eh the Soviets had plenty of their own man made famine (Holodomor, among others)

How long has it been since they restyled that message app? A decade? Feels like longer.

As much as America is fat as shit the rest of the world is not far behind unfortunately.
- Comment on The height of sophistication: the 1994 McDonald's manager collection 1 month ago:
I don’t know about your area but mine is nearly all those slow ass Touch kiosks. At best there is one person manning the till.
It would amuse me greatly if they dressed up the kiosks like this though.

For us poors sunscreen is the best value per dollar. Especially men, because women often include it with other cosmetics (even if it’s not that effective and you should be using a straight up sunscreen)
- Comment on What are you ladies doing tonight 1 month ago:
My beef with them are three fold.
- They have been around for a decade and the elderly seem to still have screen terror and freeze up and take forever
- There are often fewer of these machines and children plug the hole trying one sip of every flavor
- I’ve thrown out cellphones with faster interfaces than these things and the damn screens get gross after a while if not cleaned constantly
- Comment on Pronouns history 1 month ago:
I mean as much as millennials would hate to hear it they will soon be the largest demographic (if they are not all ready) .
Time will tell if they succumb to the same tropes their parents did it is they get a new fun set of undesirable qualities.
- Comment on I'm not saying that I agree with it, but it's understandable. 1 month ago:
My guess would be some sort of government service or charity whose funding is state related but is close to a border with another state.
They can probably serve out of state people but are not set up for it.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 1 month ago:
Exactly.
Each of those knobs needs an injection mould, each switch behind it a supply chain. Iterating on digital design is far cheaper as well.
It’s far cheaper to use what are effectively 10 year old tablets in the cheaper cars. Since LCDs are being mass manufactured for other things that likely get a nice economy of scale.

That, and to pull them out during road rage incidents. Also pull them out when you’re scared of a black person. Don’t forget take them to school to get revenge.
They need them for a lot of reasons.

That’s one of those fun things until you have to clean it.

So if all the existing matter came from the big Bang, is it possible to condense it all back into one place?

The built a thing by burning investor money to artificially lower the price and sell out high on stock IPOs is still going strong I see.
