That was my question about all this. Why would "rural business owners" drive for 30 minutes or more to make a delivery for Amazon? I'm thinking that Amazon believes that the suburbs are the rural areas. Where I live (which is not the middle of nowhere by any means) is over an hour to the nearest incorporated city. The business' owners in the nearest "town" will not be making deliveries, in many if not most cases they are the only one there. More marketing hyperbole.

Actually this doesnt matter. The first cars were not as fast as the first horses. Nor were the first trains. They also broke down more, cost far more, and needed more expensive "feed". Time will fix those concerns. You do not set out to create a car and come out with a McLaren P1, or a Honda Civic, or a city bus. The real problem is WHERE it is designed to operate, and that is: not on parking lots or industrial rooftops where solar should be.

Desert is beige, and fosters quite a bit of life, much of it bugs etc. Solar panels are black. They will heat up more than the sand. That was my point. Plus even if this were untrue, the shade they provide would be better served in parking lots, near the consumption of electricity. rather than transporting it a hundred miles to San Diego or Phoenix. In the video, it looks like there is quite a bit of green, vs the Dunes of the empty quarter in Arabia or the sands of the Sahara

Pretty sure he means the rails the solar panels are fixed to. That part does not seem automated. Also, this is really stupid in that we are covering farm fields with solar? Why not industrial and distribution rooftops and parking lots? Fuck I would even settle for partial cover of roads and freeways. There is no need to ruin nature like this. We are taking fields which have high productivity with photosynthesis and converting them into low albedo solar arrays, when we could be turning roads and rooftops and parking lots which already have low albedo and making them cooler and nicer with some shade. This is absolutely stupid.

Bespoke Echo Chambers? That's their new feature? Removing even the remotest possibility of an opinion differing from your own, what a great idea! /sarcasm

They have a king and a quasi institutionalized class system. What do you expect?

I have to click through a half dozen popups to get anything done.

No surprises there.

There isn't unlimited time to debate every point while our oligarchy rapes kids and starves the poor.

Computers already had cup holders (the cdrom tray), but they went out of fashion with physical media

A fridge is something that should last you at LEAST a decade if not longer. Who would want decade old IOT shit on their network? Is Samsung planning to provide support and updates for this smart shit for that long? Or will it just get the typical 3-5 years of support and updates?

Rest in peace MJ Rathbun

Snap should just be able to go into count and ask the judge to dismiss the lawsuit pending Dolby having a successful lawsuit against AOMedia directly. If Dolby is successful in that lawsuit then Snap can either a) Pay Dolby for licensing the codec. b) Discontinue use of the codec.

The legal system needs changes. Why is an initial lawsuit being filed against one of many end users of this codec? It should be required that Dolby brings an initial lawsuit against the developer of the codec AOMedia. If they successfully win that lawsuit then they can start targeting end users who either don't appropriately licence said coded from the winner of the lawsuit or continue to use the codec and not switch to something else.

The Lenovo ThinkStation PX (a high-end dual-socket Intel Xeon Scalable workstation) supports up to 9 PCIe slots. The exact speeds and lane configurations depend on whether you have one or two CPUs installed, as slots are split between the two CPUs (and some require the second CPU).

This is the full configuration with both Intel Xeon processors installed:
4 × PCIe 5.0 x16 (full height, full length, up to 75W, double-width capable in some positions)
4 × PCIe 4.0 x16 (full height, full length, up to 75W)
1 × PCIe 4.0 x8 (full height, full length, 25W, open-ended)

Total: 9 slots (all full-height).

Single PSU1850WFull output at 200–240V AC input.
At 115–127V: still 1850W.
At 100–110V: limited to 1400–1500W.Dual PSUs – Redundant mode1850W (system total)One PSU acts as backup. The system is limited to the capacity of a single PSU for full redundancy. Hot-swap supported.Dual PSUs – Team mode2350WBoth PSUs actively share the load (no redundancy).
Highest power mode, ideal for heavy GPU/CPU configurations.
At lower voltages (100–110V) output is still capped accordingly.
