there's no way you could catch up to China's advancements and cost.
Why is it always the case that China is always ready to catch up to and surpass us, but there is "no way" we could catch up to China if they do?
China is copying and improving on everyone else tech while US is stuck in the patent/copyright fuck up
What I find amusing is that I enabled TPM 2.0 in my BIOS and even though Windows 11 knows this, the beta still doesn't seem to recognize it.
It will be a cold day in hell before I reinstall Windows 11 just to play a game demo.
As some who had to install windows 11 from scratch in a laptop for the first time, I hope no one have to do it. It's more than just painful since the OS doesn't come with basic Intel storage drivers included and it's a massive PITA to make an image with it if you don't have an alternate windows install to do so (and even with windows 10, I had to resort to linux to get a working boot image)
Looks like the story link got sunk into the detector as well
I load 16 tonnes, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.

This is why people should practice "device segregation" if they can afford to do so.
It means you have one computer that you use for online banking, investing, and tax filing.
A separate computer is for gaming, shopping, and browsing online.
If you're doing that, don't go shopping together with gaming or they might grab your credit card number
They only just completed the acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October 2023
They bought ZeniMax in 2021
They are now the largest gaming company in the world
Let's evaluate that after the new Elder Scrolls game for another bought company launches (if it ever does)
Windows selling Win11 makes them look bad. they don't need underpowered CPUs for that.
Also this. What happened to mod points?
Amazon Echo became progressively worse in the past few years and it is barely usable even as a voice controlled light switch anymore.
Got a new one from my company as a gift, the thing turns itself off by itself and it takes literally hours off the charger to get it back online. Asked it to find updates, not deal. Had to return it and didn't hear anything back
How about getting rid of all the scammers disguised as shops in Instagram? Over here it's like 11 shops out of 10 selling stuff that never arrives, the shop only exists in Instagram and you can't complain to anyone
Ofc there are always differences of opinion (and the game have some 36 different endings) but after the end in the Blood & Wine expansion most in the community was convinced back in 2016 that the next game would be focused on Ciri and that Geralt would be retired at the Corvo Bianco vineyard together with Jennifer. He was constantly complaining that he was too old and tired of the Witcher life.
I don't have mod points but this basically nails it, mod parent up
"Firms that compete with Microsoft in renting out cloud servers, including Google and Amazon, want to host OpenAI's artificial intelligence themselves so their cloud customers don't need to also tap Microsoft servers to get access to the startup's technology, this person said."
Remind me again: How does Google let one host Google Search, Gmail, and Docs on Azure and AWS servers?
And while at it, let me run PowerBI on premises o the same price tag Azure licenses it.. oh, wait
Now taking odds on whether they'll run it again *today*.
Damn, we could start betting some money around this stuff
Lunar regolith is composed of a significant fraction of alumium oxide and silicate mineral, meaning it can be thermally fused into mullite glass.

If they are heating that shit up with a thermal source anyway, why carry the sulfur up there in the first place?
Martian regolith is more... varied... in its composition. I can see the need to consider bringing a binder up with the mission to get started...
But the moon?
Just laser sinter that shit in-situ.
Given the amount of Iron on Mars, couldn't we use it instead?
Basically, with the possible exception of Microsoft and Apple, anybody who could afford it is almost certainly not someone who could be trusted to own it, and Apple wouldn't want it, because they already have Safari, which broke from Chrome under the hood over fundamental philosophical differences.
That leaves exactly one plausible buyer: Microsoft. And you'd just be replacing one monopolist with another at that point, so why bother?
And after recent f* ups on ads, ignoring people preferences and downright in-the-face forced stuff in Edge, I would move away from Chrome if Microsoft starts managing it
I do not think it was sarcasm. One indicator of things starting to get really bad is when sarcasm and comments on reality start to sound very much alike.
