Comment FAT32 Gaslighting (Score 3, Informative) 20

The limit of the filesystem was always 2TB, but Microsoft had this artificial 32GB limit in their built-in format tool. You could easily format a larger FAT32 partition using third-party or Linux-based tools.

I think this was an artificial limit kept in place to ensure exFAT adoption, specifically to ensure manufacturers paid their licenses.

Of course, there is still the 4GB file size limit to contend with, but I've never had a problem using a 256GB FAT32 partition on older devices, for example.

I think the distinction is that in this case Amazon isn't the retailer, they're acting as a platform for other retailers to compete against each other. So Amazon will argue that this "pricing health" algorithm is just a tool for sellers to ensure they have the most competitive pricing. If another retailer has a lower price then this is considered a "pricing mistake." They've offloaded the responsibility of price fixing to the individual sellers, which is pretty clever.

Didn't President Obama and his special peace envoy to North Korea, former President Jimmy Carter, have a negotiated agreement such that they had a pledge from North Korea not to develop nuclear weapons?

No.

However, Kim Jong Un did meet with President Trump in June 2018 (but did not make any promises to abandon their nuclear program.)

Keep Donnie Dipshit in mind every time you fill up, book a flight or spend more on food. And don't forget his fake hillbilly Thiel-thrall.

This absurd, unnecessary disaster is entirely his.

It'll be easy to remember to keep thanking him, because you'll be paying for his emotional problems up through the 2028 elections and beyond.

Well that simply is not true. Leaded gasoline was in use for decades before anyone realized there were problems with it,

They already knew lead was bad, they just thought that the exposure would be too dilute to worry about. What they didn't anticipate was just how many automobiles would eventually be on the road.

Yes, that may all be true, but what really worries me is the precedent this sets for more half-assed, for-profit implementations that are going to get driven through by other states and countries just because the EU is doing it.

And I suspect that for many, the loophole that you may not be the legitimate holder of the ID is going to be a major sticking point, and require some sort of ultrasonic face scan and extensive biometric data storage.

Submission + - Mozilla Thunderbolt is an open-source AI client focused on control and self-host (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: Mozillaâ(TM)s email subsidiary MZLA Technologies just introduced Thunderbolt, an open-source AI client aimed at organizations that want to run AI on their own infrastructure instead of relying entirely on cloud services. The idea is to give companies full control over their data, models, and workflows while still offering things like chat, research tools, automation, and integration with enterprise systems through the Haystack AI framework. Native apps are planned for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Personally, I like the self-hosted concept, but the name âoeThunderboltâ feels like a miss since there are already a ton of unrelated tech products using that name.

"Redwood will turn those into a stationary storage installation that can help reduce Rivian's energy costs during times of peak demand, the companies said in a press release."

If power is expensive at peak demand, and cheap (or free) at times with no demand, it makes sense to use batteries to store the cheap energy and use it when energy is expensive
