Can you imagine how the manufacturer can make more from stock buybacks and other investments and financial hedges, such that actual shareholder profit increases significantly more than production costs?

In other words, why try to wall off financial revenue when you have companies such as Apple with huge cash hoards hard at work making financial profits?

One major difference, assuming you've got full platform support(should be the case on any server or workstation that isn't an utter joke; but can be a problem with some desktop boards that 'support' ECC in the sense that AMD didn't laser it off the way Intel does; but don't really care); is that ECC RAM can (and should) report even correctable errors; so you get considerably more warning than you do with non-ECC RAM.

If you pay no attention to error reports ECC or non-ECC are both rolling the dice; though ECC has better odds; but 'proper' ECC and Linux-EDAC support will allow you to keep an eye on worrisome events(normally with something like rasdaemon, not sure what other options and preferences there are in terms of aggregating the kernel-provided data) and, unless the RAM fails particularly dramatically and thoroughly, will give you much better odds of knowing that you have a hardware problem while that problem is still at correctable levels; so you can take appropriate action(either replacement, or on the really fancy server systems, some 'chipkill'-like arrangement where the specific piece of DRAM that is failing gets cut out of use when deeemed unreliable without having to bring the system down.

They did ragebait on purpose. It worked on you. You engaged with it and got angry enough to leave a comment. That boosts posts.

It's literally what ragebait is meant to do.

Someone smarter than me can tell us if this is true literary irony or not. I never got the concept very well.

Sometimes you'd get a BSOD that was a fairly clear call to action; when the error called out something recognizable as the name of part of a driver; but that is mostly just a special case of the "did you change any hardware or update any drivers recently?" troubleshooting steps that people have been doing more or less blind since forever; admittedly slightly more helpful in cases where as far as you know the answer to those questions is 'no'; but windows update did slip you a driver update; or a change in OS behavior means that a driver that used to work is now troublesome.

Realistically, as long as the OS provides suitable support for being configured to collect actual crash dump material if you want it; it's hard to object too strongly to the idea that just rebooting fairly quickly is probably the better choice vs. trying to make the BSOD a genuinely useful debugging resource; especially given how rare it is for the person with useful debugging ability to happen to be at the console at the time of crash(rather than just an end user who is ill equipped to make sense of it; or a system that mostly does server stuff, quite likely not on actual physical hardware, where nobody has even touched the physical console in months or years; and it's more or less entirely useless to display a message there; rather than rebooting and hoping that things come up enough that management software can grab the dump files; or giving up and leaving the system in EMS so that someone can attach to that console.

Why not legalize suicide, since living around people like you makes me not want to live?

Not that suprising with a software person.

With ECC, memory will go "bad" too, just a bit later. If you buy good quality memory, it will be fine for far longer than the time you are going to use it. Bad memory will overwhelm ECC way before that time.

AGI? Hahaha, no. The fake just gets more complex.

So now it can "confess" to being an incompetent asshole. Already more than the typical CEO can do, but still unusable.

Why should I go to him?

"higher production costs don't always translate into higher consumer prices for a variety of reasons"

If your primary income comes from stocks do production costs become a rounding error?

I.e. if mobile mechanic Matthew Parker makes $10k from youtube for a video in which he gives away free parts and labor, does an increase of a couple dollars in the price of a fuel filter, or whatever, matter?

Why moderate at all, when you can not be lazy and respond to words with better words?

"There's also the vicious cycle that's created where this sort of behavior drives away others and leaves a larger proportion of users that engage in that behavior. It's not so much different from a neighborhood that doesn't solve its crime problems or other issues facing it. The good people slowly leave for greener pastures, but the problem causers stick around or grow worse. If it goes on for long enough you get the dilapidated ghetto or gutted trailer park that no one wants to come to and who the bitter denizens are often resentful to have visit. It's somewhat worse with internet communities because one person can use bots or sock puppet accounts to have an oversized impact."

Are you saying only good people like authority and unfree speech?

Do you mean useful like writing social media software?

"Here's the thing: if you reduce the price of something, and demand is elastic, sales volume increases."

How come the crown jewel of capitalism, the stock market, violates this homily?

Also, what if a doctor doesn't like my attitude?
