My bet is on Russia blowing up these pipelines. The problem is that they can't really profit on it. Since the same pipelines are how they profit on the gas sales.

Good thing we invented fios some time ago. We've sold all the copper (lines) to the highest bidder here in Norway. All we got left are fios to most households. Which should have about as much redundency as the mobile towers. /sadpanda

I have the same experience. I use DuckDuckGo for my searches. But some searches return junk results. So I have to come crawling back to Google sometimes.

Woooow! Ease off the coffee, man. No need to go full retard for something like this.

I agree that the android firefox browser is on it's way to becoming useless. But, lucky for me I just use ublock origin. Firefox does what I need other than that.

Launch day streams weren't exactly spoiler-free either. So I had to turn down the volumn to just above mute and hide the browser for the duration. And I still didn't manage to get more than 5-6 of the items. This was one of the worse twitch drop campaigns for sure.

Since I live in Europe I may be able to shed some light on this for you.

Cars with adaptive headlights still allow you to use them just like the good old (dumb) high/low beams. So even if your car have fancy, new adaptive headlights you can go back to blinding everybody on the road by the flick of a switch. No hacks required. And different makes have different means of doing this.

Mazda have adaptive headlights enabled with the light switch in the auto position. Or dumb lights if the switch is in the on position.
Polestar 2 have dumb lights by default. You have to enable the adaptive lights with a separate switch. And if you operate the high/low toggle manually, the adaptive lights are disabled again.
VAG cars allows you to override adaptive lights, with the light switch in auto, by pushing the stalk twice.

And so on.

I am sorry, but you should read up on the topics at hand. Before you go off on a rant that is wildly off into the wilderness of BS.

I would suggest topics such as breeder reactors and nuclear half-life for starters. Then perhaps check up on the safety of modern reactors (hint: they shut down instead of going critical for one). Not at all like the old junkers from the 50's/60's.

Coal and gas won't be killing people in a billion years because we've cooked ourselves to death way before then. But they kill thousands of people today and cause serious health problems for thousands more.

Nuclear waste won't be killing people in a billion years either, see half-life.

In about a month that cpu will be a 7 generations old architechture. That makes it an ancient processor. Performance may be excellent, but the supported features are more than long in the teeth. And this is spoken as somebody who still got 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen Intel processors in use today. But they run Linux so I don't care that they're too old for W11.

Your motherboard got a TPM header if you really want it to run W11 properly.

I wholeheartedly agree that software raid is the way to go these days.

But a few of your points are wrong.

You can move motherboard-based software raid between different chipsets from the same manufacturer (Intel for example) and the raid will work perfectly fine. I have done this with a large range of firmware and driver versions. So moving from one motherboard to another is not a problem. Whether it is from a different motherboard manufacturer and/or processor/chipset generation.

You can also recover data from such a raid on a different platform. I have had to recover Intel software raid arrays on an AMD motherboard a few times. Linux can handle that just fine. Mount as the software raid it really is and recover your data.

The main data pipes from Norway go through Sweden for traffic to Europe and further east/south. But there's also several direct fiber connections across the Atlantic to North America.

1. GOG is not an indie game store. It started out as a classic game store and is now a full-blooded game store.
2. GOG doesn't mean Good Old Games anymore, they changed their name to "only" GOG when they started selling new games as well as the classics.

Apparently Nvidia's 670/680/690 Geforce cards also support 4Kx2K output through the DisplayPort output. At least that's what it say on the box, I don't have a 4Kx2K display available to test it.

I spent my youth playing football (or I guess I should say soccer here at /.). And being a lefty on a soccerfield has it's benefits. Most players would try to pass their opponent on their strong side, which vs a samehanded opponent equals their weak side. Since most players are righthanded they fell into my "trap" over and over.

All I can say is that I'm left-handed. Both my parents are right-handed and so are both my brothers.

If it was real hehe. Good one Notch!
