Farscape came from Australian production.

It's your word against theirs. You need expensive lawyers to fight DUI's. All the COP has to do is falsely accuse and ticket someone driving a poverty car who they know won't be able to fight back.

If medical science develops to the point of reviving frozen people, treating their cancer will be childs play.

Game theory. They possess the data. Paying them not to release it doesn't guarantee they delete it but does incentivize them to come after you for more payments NOT to release it, like, rent seeking. Best not to pay and let it leak, financially. Mitigate all actionable intel first of course (account numbers, etc).

If your essential service can be taken down by ransomware, you need a better backup and recovery strategy. If we get popped with ransomware we can nuke the system and have it rebuilt inside 5 min from either a snapshot, or a completely clean rebuild.

I don't need to be an expert to know that prime numbers have no pragmatic function, and therefore are a waste of energy to pursue. You can apply this logic to anything else where pragmatism is absent.

I got my gas heater installed for $1000. At 60c/therm it beats resistive heaters by a huge margin in efficiency/$ . Same guy quoted a heat pump for heat but it was like 15k. It wouldn't amortize in my ownership period, so made zero sense.

I'm not into math so i don't really care about that nuance, but the fact that computing primes of any variety is a waste of energy.

Why not run Folding@Home? At least that produces meaningful results. Factoring the largest prime number will not, in any way, help humanity, science, or math, and is an even worse waste of power than mining crypto (which at least helps keep the network/blockchain secured)

Latest iPad has a full fledged M5 in it but you can't get it with more RAM and MacOS dualboot so it's useless to me.

The mini was selling. It made Apple millions in profits. It's just that's not enough for Apple. So they cut their nose off to spite their face and now every phone on the fucking market is too big to fucking hold one handed.

Tim Cook cancelling the iPhone Mini while the iPhone Air is circling the drain is like burning down your one functional escape pod because the luxury yacht is taking on water.

The Mini was the last shred of soul left in Apple’s lineup, the one product that wasn’t just a stretched mirror of its own reflection, and he axed it for a device that’s neither small nor premium nor wanted.

The Air is the physical embodiment of “we ran out of ideas but the shareholders demanded a new SKU.” It’s a product designed by committee and marketed to no one, a monument to the kind of hubris that believes thinner counts as innovation.

The range is fine. You have lithium tesla with 300mi, and you'd have sodium tesla doing 150mi for the same lbs. More than enough for most people, and infinitely worth the safety. Lithium batteries are basically bombs waiting to happen.

The driver support for SoC RDNA2 and dGPU RDNA2 is the same at a driver level. As proven by the loss of support for SoC Vega when dGPU Vega support ended.

Steam is not a monopoly. They don't demand exclusivity, and we're (fortune 500 dev house, and an indie title i worked on) free to list our games on Epic, MS, and GOG.
