Comment Re:I'll make the same snarky comment as last time (Score 1) 134

That's what a Dell salesman told me when I complained that BIOS takes forever. But... as a sysadmin, part of my job is to setup servers. So I do waste a large amount of my time waiting for servers to boot up, even though later on they never do need to (re)boot. I wish coreboot gained adoption on the server space. But no, we keep getting stupid Dell and HPe slow boot. And don't even get me started on AMI BIOS: these are a no-go for us.

Comment Re: So this means no Rocksmith 4? (Score 1) 23

That's "Rocksmith +" which is a different product.

They still sell the old RS2014, but it doesn't come with any songs, as they only had licenses to sell songs for 10 years.

They still sell some of the newer DLC. The last DLC (Opeth, fuck yeah!) was released in 2020, so that will likely be available until May 2030. Of course, there is little reason to bother with official DLC for RS2014, as there is a mountain of unofficial goodies over on Customsforge.

Really, the only good thing about Rocksmith+ is that it has a regular guitar tab view as an option.

Comment Re:drive them to less regulated/more costly? (Score 1) 309

So you're telling me all those with good credit don't get those 19%-21% CC rates but instead get nice low rates? LOL
So the knuckleheads get dropped and they move to other options while the majority of the population gets 10% rates.
I don't think it will happen and I think Trump has other motivations than doing what will help the public.

Comment drive them to less regulated/more costly? (Score -1) 309

"The American Bankers Association warned that such a cap "would only drive consumers toward less regulated, more costly alternatives."

LOL, I'm sure people would see that they now have a 10% cap on their CC interest rate and jump to one with an interest rate more than 10%.
Because that's the smart thing to do?

Comment Re:With all those tariffs killing the economy... (Score 1) 309

Does taking less qualify as putting money in their pockets?
Taking less give the belief that the amount not taken is then left in their pockets to spend but anyone who carries CC debt such that this would make much of a difference will be underwater so much that it only slightly increases the distance between them and the bottom of the lake.

But it would give Donald Trump a good number to spin to his voters.

Comment Musk made a big deal about it being open source (Score 3, Interesting) 32

I remember when they spun up and it was well understood that it was going to be an open source non-profit entity.
I'm not surprised the judge saw enough evidence to go forward.

Now, Not-OpenAI will do everything they can to show Musk is a nutcase and confused. But the jury will likely see that and recognize it but it won't change the facts that it was started and stated as being a non-profit open source entity. And everyone who bought into the profit route will be against this since they like to keep their stuff secret. Even the "open source company called Microsoft" LOL

Comment Re:Why would it? (Score 1) 231

It's not. People contributing to distros do not do so as "a [...] reaction by those with the talent to create the alternatives they prefer". They do so for various reasons, but I'm guessing, the one you're saying is only for a very tiny minority. Mostly, people that contribute are already users of the distro, and just want to make it better. It's as simple as that.

Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking 'Does this inject a security flaw or hazard?' Now to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all decades just how insecure Microsoft software is. But being this is a Linux kernel, the most powerful kernel in the world, and will blow Microsoft's kernel clean off the rack, you've gotta ask yourself a question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya?
