what percent of people make diy pc out of all desktop, laptop, corporate pc? not a "freedom" if useless to almost all humans. A luxury ...

I got a bogus red light ticket once, and that was what convinced me to get a dashcam. That judge just took the cops' word for everything, so even a dashcam might not have helped, but it couldn't have hurt.

No, inflation is an expansion of the money supply. When the government prints more money than the population growth requires, banks lend more money at lower rates, people and businesses borrow more, and the surplus money chasing the same goods and services increases the demand and prices rise. That is economic inflation, my term, which is different from what laymen call inflation: some prices going up, as from tariffs or other taxes.

I have read of people given tickets for passing stopped school buses with their red STOP signs swung out, who got the ticket dismissed by pointing out that normal STOP signs mean PAUSE then continue. I have no idea if the original stories were true or if that still works. STOP signs really mean wait until the intersection clears, and arguably the temporary intersection created by the school bus doesn't clear until the kiddies are across the street.

you won't be able to buy your 'sensible amounts of ram' for at least two years at any sensible price

assuming the dip in consumer and non ai business spending on all manner of electronics and the jobs tied to them isn't huge enough to cause recession where we're hoarding money for necessities

the bubble will last more than two years, financial analysts say. And yes they use the word bubble.

even LPDDR4X I needed for a project is up 40%, leaving me too limp to support a Penis Bird

It should also hit hard to idiots that imagined Apple would drop the planet's third biggest market of Apple phones because of some privacy/rights concerns.

No they won't.

You seem to be ignorant of science and the scientific method.

"Ink" isn't a single thing with tattoos. It is stupidity to claim "ink" does this and "ink" does that or that "ink" migrates anywhere. A scientist would do a real study and say for example 'argan oil based titanium dioxide pigmented ink" migrates in the body to lymph nodes.

Your "study" was by unscientific wanna-bees.

I was replying to person concerned about rodents used in lab testing, mice.

but there you go, getting triggered about your phobias and going apeshit.

it means samsung's phone spell correction wins over English, sperg-boy.

Linguists call them "radicals". bÃjiÃn is what the Chinese call them, and I can't wait to see what Slashdot's ancient code does with that when I hit "submit"

lolz, good luck getting the code that runs the site now. Slashcode's last commit was 17 years ago

At work copilot spies on all the the work the PC and laptop do, bogging them down and offering bizzare avant garde prose.

"Use ai for everything" said the new CIO, and within two months the email, documentation, meeting agendas, plans became vague AI spew without meaning. The over a million customers started complaining about the ai hallucinations offered up by the helpdesk.

Good times. I'll probably leave.

Only 600 or so primatives make up the written languages derived from the Chinese "bone script", and only a few primatives make up 99% the characters. A rule based system could make quick work of rendering the five thousand or so logographics in common use from the primatives. We have the cpu cycles for it now.
