Most aren't affected, those that are, are just folding it wrong.

Are my servers on Alpha Centauri IIC are not fine then?

Will it be better if I relocated them to Wolf 359?

Commander Brainworm will just declare the germs to be helpful... eliminating the threat and any evidence to the contrary is fake nooz.

Lorry theft is a thing but usually is done by driving up, hitching a trailer you're not meant to and driving off. Sometimes they're as sophisticated as to mock up some fake paperwork to get past a gate guard. A few years back someone got away with £5 million worth of Jaguar/Land Rover engines by just driving up to the factory with some fake paperwork and driving off with a trailer, it worked so well they went back the same day for a second trailer.

I wonder if it's 50% larger or 12kb flat overhead.

The data from a single component 2 orders of magnitude smaller than typical isn't so useful.

Tragedy of the commons isn't a problem with human nature, it's a problem with the incentives in a capitalist economic system. Look at what happened with the real commons - individuals who were using it decided to organize and regulate sustainable use of the commons. Only corporations are selfish and short-sighted enough to fulfill the theory's prediction.

It may not be intentional anti-environmental shilling (in general, with sinij in particular it's quite clear that it is), but it is practically indistinguishable from it. The best time to build nuclear was 50-60 years ago, but the second best time, at this point, is probably never. Renewables with storage are vastly cheaper and vastly faster to build. Building nuclear today means locking up resources for decades that could've been used to rapidly deploy far greater amounts of cheap clean power instead. There are only a few niche uses where nuclear could still make sense and they are steadily being eaten away by renewables with storage.

Lets be honest, modern music is so terrible that quality reproduction is completely unnecessary.

The treble and middle are drowned out by repetitive bass (there are no highs and lows any more... just duf duf duf), little variation in timbre and pitch and in the rare event there is an instrument playing it'll be all of 4 chords (4... if you're lucky).

EA going bust... and nothing of value will be lost.

Some good will come of it, a large player going bust and all their servers getting turned off will finally force governments (well I mean the EU and possibly Australia and Canada will join in) to address the issue with ownership of games. No one will want to acquire EA as it'll have a load of potentially toxic debt in the form of refunds, class actions, et al. from games that are no longer playable.

Did you not play Mass Effect Andromeda?

It was a case study in how a game designed by committee is terribad.

Lets make a game that is as inoffensive as possible but also try to make it cool and edgy. Make a bad guy that looks like an overgrown infant and use all the same tropes from the previous game yet pretend it hasn't been done before. Also make the gameplay as fun as gouging your eyes out with a rusty fork but above all else we must not, never, ever, ever, ever, upset the most fragile minority of all... White Male Americans.

Graphics were eye meltingly great but the rest was pure crap. I hold it up as key evidence in my theory that graphics don't matter. You can't pretty a bad game into success.

Bioware was dead long before then, same with Mass Effect, we should really let it rest in peace.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha... tell me another one.

Consoles are usually using out of date hardware by the time of their release. The PS5 was released with a Zen3 CPU and RDNA2 GPU. Sure good biz for AMD but it Zen 4 was released nearly a year before the PS5, it was less powerful than a gaming PC I built 2 years earlier and I've just bought a new one using a Zen 5 CPU (Zen6 is just around the corner though). Be careful not to cut yourself on that edge, it's so old you'd need a tetanus shot.

This is true though, they generally aren't able to handle supply chain disruption but that is really true of any business using JIT supply chains.

The big problem is that the PS and XB hardware was always sold as a loss leader with the expectation to make that money back by ripping off the owners at every turn. High fees for publishers and developers, monthly fees for basic functionality, sub standard hardware that would regularly break (usually a week or so after the warranty expired, it's called the Sony timer for a reason). This worked fine for years but now belts are tightening both Sony and Microsoft are finding that they're not making ends meet by nickel and dime'ing the punter at ever turn as the punter is doing everything they can to avoid it.

So the next logical step is to stop selling the hardware at a massive loss, which both Sony and Microsoft are testing the waters on. Sony with a $900 PS5 and now MS with this.

Also, if you're looking for a next gen console, they're already here... have been for ages... they're called a gaming PC. With things like the Steam Deck and Steam Machine being targetted as "living room" machines, they are in a position to eat Sony's and Microsoft's lunch as there is no monthly Steam fee (not to mention GOG, Epic, et al.).

For once Trump is being honest... He's preparing for war except the war is going to be against the US and it's people. Billionaires can't dare be questioned.

From what I've read this seems more targetted at the kind of host that thinks they can save a few shekels on cleaning by making the guest do it.

This doesn't mean hots can't request the letting be "left as they found it" so to speak but it does mean that they can no longer charge an additional fee or force a guest to forfeit their deposit for a few dirty dishes or not taking the rubbish out.

Given that many AirBNBs are now essentially professional lettings as opposed to someone renting out their spare room for a few quid it seems reasonable to start treating those listings that way... That means they'll have to start ensuring that some minimum standards are met... which means that hosts who wanted a money printing apartment can't cheap out any more.

Of course I get the other side of the argument, I've seen how some people leave their workplace or car and hate to think of the pig sty they live in (which means they'll also treat someone else’s place with as much if not more neglect)... but there are already rules in place for that, this is more for the people who think they can charge an arm and a leg because of a few dirty dishes.

That being said, I think AirBNB is on it's way out, slowly but going as it's just a platform for professional lessors at this point and it's not a very good one any more.

The DOD/DOW have been working on this for a while. They discovered, early on, that the device had a propensity to cause permanent nerve damage.

It's very unlikely the US have fixed that, as they'd largely sidelined the work as a failure. However, at 36%, Trump needs something he can call a win, no matter what the long-term consequences.

Index fund companies are sort of though.

If vanguard causes trouble for the executive of an s and p 500 using their holdings in 401k accounts, how long before that company switches to principal to manage its 401k?

There's a lot of money in index funds.
