I still don’t know why this architecture went for a Double XOR as the NOP, I guess they were just flexing that the reference chip design could do both in a single cycle

The first one is pretty much down to, as Gabe Newell puts it, “piracy is a service problem”. Spotify came along and (initially) provided a much better service compared to pirating your music at the time. Once they created the market segment, competitors started their own streaming subscriptions. I’d also say the Google music “upload 50,000 tracks for free” got a lot of former pirates to jump.

Now the services are going through the same enshittification that most popular online services seem to be going through, we can see piracy increasing again. Someone will notice and fill the gap in providing a good service again at some point and the pendulum will swing once more

Now now, AJ may not know everything, but he’ll learn

Equating Linux enthusiasts to offal is a bold move on this site

Well, given the road we’re hurtling down as a civilisation, there’s probably not a later where they really need to worry about that

Might as well enjoy the chill out time

I think the borderlands games take the award for the quantity of egregious pop culture references

That was super interesting, thanks for the response

Tell me more about these lobsters

Should we send someone after him?

I’m all about this being a new meme template for dad jokes

We’re pretty good at committing acts of economic self harm

Traitors is pretty good TV, I guess

Essentially all I’m looking for is a component that will “detect” current on the horn switch wire, and close a separate circuit.

I think you’re describing a transistor

If your GPU has two power connectors you should always use two runs from the PSU.

You only have to ask yourself why they would bother with the second connector if it was okay to just attach a little extension to the end of a single cable.

Some cards may run fine with this setup, but you’re going to be increasing fire risk by potentially running more amps down a wire than is safe to.

Who let you out of hell?

I’ve been an engineer for about two decades now and pretty much everyone I’ve ever worked with has expressed that they would never work for Facebook, betting companies or defense companies.

Amazon is probably next on the shit list and then Google, but each to a much lesser extent than the ones before. Working for Google still holds a level of prestige for some people.

JSON.parse error at line 1 character 9, unexpected 🧔‍♂️

Lagunitas is pretty banging tho

I guess if everyone on your street is doing the same then it’s not a problem, but it’s worth noting over half the general population will have a chronotype where noise that early will be a negative for their health.

Making noise between 10am-10pm is apparently the best for everyone

Depends on what time, for me

After about 10am is pretty fair game if a noisy job needs doing IMO. If it’s music and not obnoxiously loud, that’s probably fine too

Anyone making any noise before that though absolutely should get in the sea

I’m fine with a brioche bun, they’re upper tier buns

But don’t stack a load of stuff in there to the point the brioche disintegrates under the heft of it

That’s why we have the pretzel bun

(Likewise, don’t use a pretzel bun if you’re not gonna load it up, that bun needs grease for balance)
