Windows has a weird situation where having more memory can lead to using less of it. If you try to run Windows 10 x64 with 4GB of memory it will run pretty good, but its memory usage is almost maxed out the whole time. It's probably swapping crap in and out constantly, but you don't notice because we all should have an SSD of some sort as the boot drive... this isn't the stone age. But if you have 8GB+, it will end up using most of it for the first 10 or so seconds of booting up, but then drop to ~2.5GB afterward

You are simply wrong. Sounds like a strong instance of PEBCAK

I ran a dedupe on my drive and eliminated 8 redundant copies of the goatse guy.

These assholes charge $80-100 for a single checked bag. Their seats are honestly some of the worst I ever sat on IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, distanced so close to the seats surrounding yours that you will have aches and pains for the rest of the day that you flew with them. They are the bottom of the barrel shit hole airline, and people only need to fly with them once to realize they never want to do it again.

They are killing themselves

So is it "Information Wants to Be Free" or "Information Wants to Be Free to Only Those I Agree With"

So am I devaluing by browsing the site?

Yes, but if the AI companies are scraping IA and not reddit, it has zero impact on Reddit besides Reddit being pissy.

They already sold it to google

The numbers before were accurate, they just weren't the best metrics. The job numbers stop reporting you if you aren't actively looking for a job. Which means long term unemployed people aren't counted. There is sense to that for some groups (retired, disabled and unable to work), but not for people who are healthy enough to be in the job market and can't afford to do nothing.

The inflation numbers were accurate, but they didn't include housing. Which makes CPI kind of useless, as housing is the biggest item in most people's budget.

That being said, while the metrics were flawed, they were accurate measurements by and large. So one could rely on them and find insights as long as you keep in mind what they don't track.From now on though- when an incredibly political person known for his willingness to make shit up (including outright lies on inflation) removes the head of the bureau creating the numbers and replaces them with someone who will give him numbers he wants? Yeah, from now on they're untrustworthy.

To lose even more of their retirements

It's not irrelevant. To understand what the program is actually doing and how the computers actually work, you need to understand pointers. They aren't necessary in day to day work, but not understanding how they work will lead to subtle bugs.

Paypal has now moved to providing a credit card linked to your account (whether you like it or not). I imagine that would work the same as any other credit card

The law is unconstitutional, as other similar laws have been found in the past. It hasn't been removed from the books only because nobody has been charged for it in a century, thus nobody has had a chance to challenge it on those grounds. The exception is for the military, which has the UMC which is allowed to have stricter restrictions on behavior.

Do you understand what an NFT actually is? They don't, and usually aren't, sold as a scammy cryptocurrency token. I get an NFT every time I go to a concert and it is a fun talking point when a group of friends share what shows they've been to. It has no selling value and is use for entertainment

There is nothing stopping you from doing it
