825GB because it's a really nasty way of the whole GB/GiB thing.

The PS5 (original) has 6 128GiB chips for 768GiB total storage. Normally, such an SSD would be called 768GB, hiding things like bad blocks and data tables in the difference. When you buy an SSD like that, that's where the difference goes.

So if you buy a 250GB SSD, you can be sure it has 256GiB of NAND flash inside, but appear with 250,000,000,000 bytes of storage. The difference holds the bad blocks, spare blocks, and data tables.

If you haven't figured it out, 768GiB is about 824.9GB so its even rounded up to 825GB. And your actual storage WILL be less, because that's not accounting for again, bad blocks, spare blocks, and data tables.

Most SSDs would be listed as 768GB, 760GB if they had the same configuration.

The 1TB PS5s would have 8 chips of 128GIB for a real 1TiB of storage, but rounded down to 1TB because that excess is used elsewhere.

It's nothing like that.

They want to have the narrative that "leftists are violent!!!" because they killed Charlie Kirk. Never mind the other deaths like January 6, George Floyd, etc.

Never mind the fact that when the right spews hate, they claim censorship when platforms start to remove their posts.

The whole point is to say the left needs to be censored and everything. Ever notice how many people are being cancelled because of their less than complimentary comments about Charlie Kirk?

Double standards and all - if it's your speech been censored, then cry free speech. If it's someone you don't like, censor away!

They want Steam, Discord, etc. to start deplatforming all those leftists.

It's gotten so far that some Republicans are trying to back away because they realize that those laws being used to censor "the left" could easily be used to censor them for the exact same reason. The big fun being to see how the Supreme Court will allow the censorship but then twist themselves into knots trying to deny the same rights if a (D) gets to be President.

"pro-life" just refers to people who believe every baby conceived should be carried to term. Once they're born, most pro-lifers do not care about that person anymore. That's the only justification I can see in forcing women to carry babies to term, but opposing things like gun control, vaccine mandates, and other things that might help prolong the life of said people they brought into the world.

Want to have fun? Ask them when they stop caring - the will proudly say life is precious, etc, but ask them when they stop caring - why they aren't supporting gun control and trying to fix things like school shootings, etc.

AI is for me no problem but some human needs to sign off on it.
There are plenty of cases where AI comes up with invented stories (hallucinations) and we need to be able to address a human when corrections are required.

If you live nearer the equator then daylight savings is a nuisance, however if you live nearer the poles then daylight savings is great. Hence the polarised view on the issue. Where I live there is nearly 6 hours more sun light in summer than in winter each day.

At the poles it's even more useless. In the winter, the sun rises around 7AM and sets around 4PM, and in the summer, it rises around 4AM and sets around 9PM (standard time). Daylight savings means it rises at 5AM and sets at 10PM. It's pretty useless to have it since it's still rising pretty damn early and setting right when one should be getting to bed.

It's only a real boon if you're the mid-lattitudes where you may only have 4-6 extra hours of sun a day so the sun still sets in the evening and rises at a decent time.

It would seem that there is a general anti-science movement in place in the US that is becoming stronger, vaccinations is one part of it, attacks on climate science is another. Couple that with the onslaught on education, and universities in particular, and all I can see is a gradual decline in the ability of the US to compete when it comes to science.

The US is simply following the path of other great civilizations, from the Islamic to Catholicism. Both were at the top of what we call STEM today - both excelled at mathematics and science and were the leaders in both.

Of course, you probably wouldn't associate either with the forefront of science and mathematics today, and the wonder was always how did they go from the leaders to where they are now.

The US might simply be the canary in the coal mine of where western civilization will lead and end up following Islam and Catholicism.

It's total bullshit as so many people happily travel across timelines, either for work or holidays.
And how few people sleep during the weekend on exactly the same times as during weekdays?
Most of my (working) life I've been doing odd shifts and I never saw it as a significant problem.

Yes, exactly, this is it.

In this case, it dug up something on a company website, and then I could go read the real information there.

True, there's a huge downside to being fed the answer.

I do spend a lot of time looking at virtually random stuff, anything that just seems interesting. What is maybe more alarming about AI isn't the job replacement scenario, but the killing of creativity and synthesis.

Being able to talk to the computer to ask it to find things based on meanings is like Star Trek technology and it's sad in a way that the hype is distracting from what they're good at. For example, yesterday I had a problem (not tech but a field I know nothing about (oh wait like tech then)) and the first AI search I did gave me an excellent find. Maybe I would have found it after spending all day browsing, but this was a great answer. And what about when we were supposed to wait for the semantic web and all that. So it's a bit sad it gets hyped as being able to replace people.

So you imply USB-D will or can not be compatible?

Sure I miss the SD card reader on my Thinkpad X1 but that's what the hub gives me, including a second HDMI connection, all thanks to the USB-C it is plugged in to.

Same here this Thinkpad X1 has 2 of both and I still use a hub for extra connectivity.
It's so easy to use an adapter for items with USB-A that I hardly think about it but sometimes the extra options of USB-C would be nice.
Deal with it, USB-A is going the way of the floppy (and I do have a USB-A floppy drive which I've used once in several years).

I think different.

If I knew that, I'd be a tech billionaire inventing them.

The best part of innovations is that they are NOT obvious, but once they are in the world, you can't do without.
