But Nvidia have clearly sold them the chips and told than that some of those cores aren’t working. And they said OK and hoped nobody would really notice.

I figure there’s a reason that Zotac and PNY are always the cheapest cards. No idea why anybody would care about the tiny saving if they’re wasting $2k on a GPU…

Just call it the Gulf of Fuck The Environment, We’re Getting Rich!

Doubt it. Wind around buildings tends to be shit.

There’s a reason they build turbines on hilltops and out at sea.

It’s spent like a decade in a rainy landfill in Wales.

Even if he finds it, it’s fucked.

Video showing ads on dashboard.

Video itself starts with a QR code ad embedded into it. And it’s on Youtube so who knows how many ads I skipped with uBlock…

Adception.

Sure, it’s like JPG.

It may not be the newest or best compression ratio, but it works, and even the shittiest old hardware supports it. And I know it won’t whine about licences being missing or some shit.

Plus there’s the electronic opening mechanisms that fail in the event of a fire. This is on most Teslas iirc. Even if the doors are intact, you’re stuck.

There’s ways to open them, but good luck with this shit when you’re concussed from an accident, and sat in a burning vehicle.

Top of the line in utility sports.

Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts.

Yeah, I know. I was on 30Mbps. Took like 5 minutes to download a gigabyte. Now it takes around 10 seconds.

But most video streaming sites are well below that, and web pages are a few MB tops. The only noticeable difference is when doing larger downloads.

I’d guess because they already had a protective layer in the plastic they’re made from. At least enough to protect during actual use, and not infants scattering them all over the floor.

I can’t say I’ve ever lost a disc to physical damage.

Yeah, I was on that until the other week, when my area finally got upgraded to 1Gbps.

It’s nice for big downloads (and with game sizes what they are now, that bit is a big difference), but for regular use? Not really a vast change. It’s nice that your bandwidth doesn’t suddenly vanish when one of your unattended devices decides to wake up and download a 20GB update for a game you haven’t played in months I guess.

Big Brother needs bandwidth to watch you in 4K.

At least until MS muddied the waters with “hibernate”.

I tried to use Bard to write some code the other day, and found it amusing that it doesn’t just make shit up that doesn’t exist, it makes up the excuses as well when you call it out on it’s bullshit.

Like you tell it a particular class doesn’t exist, and it pulls an old version of the compiler out of it’s arse and tells you it was deprecated in that.

AI doesn’t know where it’s limits are. It’s incapable of saying “I don’t know”. They have invented a digital politician.
